Ratings and reviews
3.0 / 5.0
The place is isolated, and very dark,felt scared at night.
It is not mentioned that it is only a few meters away from a main highway and trucks are constant 24/7 drowning out any of the peaceful sounds we were hoping for and making it difficult to sleep. The apartment was probably lovely once but it is tired and not maintained very well. I note that the building is for sale and that would account for this. We are in our 70s so unsuitable for us.

Beautiful House
This was a beautiful house near the national parks and town. Would be great to rent the whole thing with a larger group. Cannot walk to beach. Short drive to Uvita beaches. Overall great stay.

Paradise in the jungle
We loved this place, well equipped, very nice location. Lots of birds and monkeys to see, great jungle like setting with the trees around us and a stream. We would liked to have direct beach access but going through the Lenora restaurant and getting a meal there was just nice, The only issues was the internet access, if it was high speed and reliable this place would be excellent.

Awesome
200 square meters just for you, with monkeys and toucans right around you. For such low price? We’ll be back!

Beautiful Place
I had the penthouse room with the outdoor Jacuzzi. It was wonderful. The apt is spacious, beautiful and clean. Lots of monkeys hollering and birds chirping.
The property is about 10k outside of Uvita. There are buses you can take to get around. If you want to go up to the mountains you're better off with a car. There's a beautiful beach next door. Dominical is about 20k away. Nice beach and cool vibe there.
Katina, the mgr, was very nice and extremely helpful. She always answered your questions expediently. I needed a cab to catch a bus; she arranged it. The oven in the room wasn't working; she fixed it that day.
You won't be disappointed staying here.

Beautiful, comfortable and spacious penthouse suite.
Really loved the fully equipped kitchen, the huge shower in the master bath, and open concept space. The hot tub and outside area was lovely and private! Woke to the sound of plenty of wildlife. Howler monkeys definitely nearby. Close proximity to Villa Leonor for fine dining and walk to the beach from there. Wish we could have stayed longer!
