We aren’t those people who complain about the smallest things but after such a long wait for this vacation, we did have a few disappointments. But first: The Pros: 1. The view is stunning. It never got old. 2. The beaches are gorgeous. 3. The shower was great – clean, lots of pressure. The unit has hot water on demand, so we never ran out. 4. Special Places staff are easy to deal with and quick to respond to concerns and questions. Check in was a breeze and they were very helpful. Special kudos to Juan Diego! 5. No bugs! The Cons: 1. Listing photos need to be updated – not as shown. Exterior concrete is mildewed. The inside tiles are lifting, cracked and need resealing. Could use a deep clean and a paint refresh. The bed is a cozy double, definitely not a queen. 2. Kitchen amenities are very basic – would be great for overnight or a day or two, but not for a four week stay unless you’re happy to pan fry or microwave all your meals. We didn’t use the dishwasher as we didn’t have enough dishes to run through it and not waste water. 3. Listing needs to add that a vehicle or golf cart is a necessity. The condo isn’t close to anything and the long hill getting to the condo is very steep. 4. The pool is in the shade and very cold – I only went in once in 4 weeks. The ocean was much warmer. Finally, for owner consideration – it would be nice to have a grill on one of the two decks and a few beach necessities – like folding chairs, a cooler, sand towels. The area is expensive, and we found it annoying that every beach day involved renting chairs and umbrellas (and not cheap). Just a thought. Overall, we did enjoy our stay at Omega 4. We met some great people, it’s a great area with a fabulous view and the climate is perfect for those of us escaping a long, cold winter.

Stranded outside the property in the pouring rain for hours. Throwing stones and beeping horns to get a neighbor to open the door! This property was fabulous but SPECIAL PLACES OF COSTA RICA property managers were absolutely terrible. We tried every number including a US contact and 24 hr emergency but nobody picked up. We reached out to the owner Kenny Segers he didn’t reply to calls , emails … he just didn’t care! We were ignored totally. Do not use this property management company, they are unreachable! We had other issues with this company but this is the main issue for the rating.
