Apr 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Remarkable and Elusive Place The UP! Houses in Costa Rica - what fantastic Casitas in the Jungle - we were so very fortunate to find. Our only issue was hardly the fault of Utopia Caribe - noise from the construction at the neighbors home next door starting well before 7:30AM! We were determined not to let this ruin our vacay. EVERYTHING else was the VERY BEST! There isn't anything I can add except this, if you're trying to decide on where to stay, look no further....We enjoyed the sounds and sights of the local creatures not far away, the restaurants and shops within walking distance, and, of course, the wonderful beaches. It rained early one morning; we sat out on the couches and never got wet - and never saw one bug! If ever we return to Playa Chiquita, it definitely will be at the UP! House. ##### Judy S.
