Then walked to lunch at many restaurants downtown, walked to grocery store, so nice to get out and enjoy the weather!! Took 2 tours, found the fish pond, sat bu fire, talked to other travelers and owner, sat out on our colorful front porch, laidback vacation ##### Joy Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard Feb 21, 2024 #### Close to runway Great stay at this property. Very handy for airport as literally 200 yards away. Airport only for day flights/light planes so noise not an issue.Close to centre and beaches. Hosts activities and suggest you book before arriving as very popular in February. Checked me in early and plenty of parking. Plenty of green in grounds and suspect looks very different in rainy season. Room basic and everything worked including a/c. Plenty of space outside the you can room I booked. Easy place to socialise with fellow guests although there seemed to be a lot of people working on their laptops! ##### Richard Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Karen Feb 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Nice but has air conditioning issues. The grounds were lovely and the people were nice but the air conditioner went off in the middle of the night both nights we were there. We would wake up, hot and it was hard to sleep. It is very hot in Costa Rica in February. Both mornings we had to hunt down someone to turn it back on. They said it was the breaker switch but both times the rest of the electricity was on. It was uncomfortable and very annoying. ##### Karen Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Mark Jan 15, 2025 ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer Jan 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Jennifer Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sherri Feb 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Sherri Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### melissa Feb 13, 2024 ##### melissa Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Curtis A Jan 25, 2024 ##### Curtis A Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Joseph Jan 10, 2024 ##### Joseph Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Aliaksandr Jan 26, 2022 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities I stayed in cabin #9 with no WiFi. Every time I need internet, I should go to reception area. To eat, I should go to town. Did not see as much wildlife on property as I expected, based on reviews. ##### Aliaksandr Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James Jan 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I've been here twice in the last year. If you like nature, you will not find a better spot to stay. Family run and super friendly. Can't wait to go back !! ##### James Stayed 1 night in Jan 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Feb 26, 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I don’t have words in order to describe it. Do not believe pictures, check yourself first before booking. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### J Jan 4, 2021 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff and owners are so friendly and welcoming! I’d say the atmosphere was the best part! Leaving a no so great review for a few reasons: The apartment was advertised to sleep 6, but there were no bed linens for the futons. There was plumbing issues. Not hot water (which isn’t a huge deal but if you’re paying 175$ a night it would be nice). And last, the coffee maker was molded out and generally all the dishes were not completely clean. To be clear, I think it is a great place, I was just very disappointed in what I got for the money. ##### J Stayed 1 night in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Constanze Mar 15, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfekt für Naturliebhaber!! Mangroven hinter dem Appartment, Kapuzineraffen, Eichhörnchen, Aras und unzählige Vögel, ein zahmer Leguan, Jesus-Eidechsen und als krönenden Abschluss ein Krokodil, das an der Terrasse vorbeischwamm. Sehr nette Gastgeber nicht zu vergessen! ##### Constanze Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 28, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ................................................... ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Helena Jan 12, 2020 ##### Helena Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 19, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We loved the setting.
