We stayed with two other couples at Casita number two and everyone agreed it was the perfect location for spending time at the beach and or going downtown to check out Puntarenas!! we’ll be back! ##### Denise B. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Dec 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### Simple place , rough area The place was clean . Very modest . Lots of notes everywhere on walls from the owner . People in area were kind to us but be aware it is a very rough area- notice there are no pics of the area out front of the apartment , that’s prob for good reason, would scare most people away . Hence the barred front to get into the apartment. VRBO ad lists washer AND dryer as amenities . The dryer is a clothesline . If you read the small write up on the place within VRBO it only then says washer and clothesline. Personally I didn’t like Puntarenas and would not go back . ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gilles L.
