"Great property, friendly proprietor and staff. Highly recommended. "

"Overall this was a great Property for my family. We are a family of 4, we had a cozy 2 bedroom unit, complete with sitting area and backyard. The second bedroom had 2 twin beda which was great for the boys not having to share a bed. Things to note...the hotel is up on a mountain, you need a sturdy vehicle to do the drive. Once we got in for the evening we did not leave because the drive up is a bit difficult un the dark. There is a restaurant and bar, we had dinner there every night. There were...

"Beautiful views at the Lookout, including fabulous sunsets. We were blessed with amazing weather the whole week which made driving some of the backroads easier. The house was clean, comfortable, and had all necessary conveniences. "

"Property is as described. It's dated but well cared for. The caretaker is great. PLEASE note. Last few kilometers of road are not paved...we had 4x4's was fine. Closest supermarket is a 40 minute - hour drive. Beach isn't the best for swimming but totally remote and private. We loved this place. "

"Perfect for groupe "

"Lovely in every way! I didn’t come to be a tourist, but to spend time in nature in comfort. I stayed on the property most of the time and enjoyed the flora and fauna immensely. Thank you for opening your home to guests!"

"Our family, six adults and three children. From the time we arrived until we tearfully left, it was pure heaven. Property is gorgeous, Debbie, Jairo and crew made all our requests a reality from scheduling tours, airport shuttle and numerous other requests. We spent the majority of time relaxing by the pool. Carols, Gina and Tatianna were the absolute best. A few tears were shed when we left"

"TThis vacation has become a top favorite for our family, and we will definitely be back. Words can't express our gratitude for all the staff involved in this experience. We would like to thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. "

"The listing was accurate. The house was very clean and nicely decorated. The views were just magnificent. The pool was comfortable to swim in even though it was not heated. We utilized the airport pick-up and drop-off, the car rental service and the stock your pantry service offered by the house managers, Piet and Yvonne. These services made iur trip so easy. "

"I am giving this 5 stars because the hosts were amazing and the view was phenomenal; however there are some things to note. The showers have lukewarm water (although every sink has hot water). This was very disappointing after being out on the beach and hiking all day as all we wanted was a hot shower. The water pressure was not great in the showers. There is also only one TV in the living room and it has a line through it but not that noticeable. We tried to connect to it with our iPad as it’s...

"We will be back! We brought my elderly parents and family to Costa Rica for our family vacation. It was absolutely perfect in every aspect from early planning, to support in scheduling fun adventures, incredible beaches, and most importantly, a beautiful home stocked with everything you need. As soon as we booked the home, Wade reached out to provide important information including activities to consider, car rentals, airlines and introduce us to Johann, who manages the property. Prior to...

"Jeff was very courteous and responded to my messages pretty quick. Overall very spacious and neat clean. What I liked most was the pool and the view. Game room was pretty cool. The property worth every dollar and more, truly espectacular."

"We had the good fortune to book 4 nights at this extraordinary property and our only regret is we didn’t stay longer! From communication prior to our arrival to check out process, all was wonderful! The property itself is gorgeous with stunning views, the house has everything one could want or need and then some and the hostess, Tonia, is a gem of a human! Special mention and thanks to Meylin and family who live onsite!! We couldn’t have asked for more and will definitely be back!!"

"Great"

Akua Ocean View Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely breathtaking view!! The suite with the side yard, is worth the extra money. You have privacy, and there was iguanas we feed fruit. Not sure if you’re supposed to, but they loved it. We will definitely go back!! If I remember correctly, if you click on Google maps from your Expedia emails it won’t take you directly there but it takes you pretty close. Then we actually had to type in the name if the place in Google maps or Waze to get us there. The driveway is pretty steep, and tricky if someone is coming in or out at the same time, so just beCareful. I did think they had room service, and wanted to do that one morning but you actually have to call the restaurants that are on the list that is given in each room and they deliver. Not a huge biggie, we did Steve’s restaurant every morning, they have a great breakfast! We tried the massage place that’s in the book in the room as well, and they were awesome with great prices!! Everything and everyone was amazing!! I was very pleased!! "

Hidden Paradise in La Garita with Private Pool

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at this home for two nights to be closer to the airport before flying out of San José, and it was just what we needed. The property manager was fantastic—very responsive and communicative every step of the way. The location was ideal, only about 20–25 minutes from the airport, which made travel day so much easier.We really enjoyed the pool and the lush, tropical grounds—it was a peaceful and relaxing spot to unwind. The house itself worked well for our short stay. If I had to offer any suggestions, it would be to consider a few updates to the home and provide some additional bedding, especially if you plan to use the air conditioning at night.That said, the property served its purpose perfectly, and we would definitely stay again!"
