The property is beautiful with so many different flowers and plants, a creek, small pool and even a cute little farm. The home was clean and well set up with everything we needed to cook and make our family of 4 comfortable.
Max helped to arrange our activities like repelling, rafting, zip lining and a hot springs. His recommendations were great, and we really enjoyed adventuring with Maquique.
I’d highly recommend! It’s about 15 min from town, so I’d recommend a rental car.
We will be back!

The rental property is amazing, newly updated and stocked for renters needs. The grounds are also very nice, better than we expected. The host was very helpful with our needs and questions. He arranged dinner and tour reservations for us, even supplied us with fresh eggs from the adjacent farm

The property was lovely. The villa was clean, modern and extremely comfortable. It was very private with a great deck/patio with seating and the hot tub. The grounds are incredible -- beautifully landscaped, with a babbling brook (and hammocks) to relax and a pool. The location is about 15 minutes from La Fortuna where all the restaurants are found so unless you want to cook, be prepared for the drive.
The one problem we had was initially finding the place. Directions were on google maps which, unfortunately, did not work on our devices in Costa Rica. While I had a printed copy, it was difficult to follow and the sign for the property is not clearly visible from the street. (It would be helpful for the host to improve the signage.) So, be sure you have a working google maps app when you travel there to avoid the problem we had.
Overall, a wonderful experience. I highly recommend the property.

The property was beautiful and quiet. We felt as though Max set us up beautifully for a wonderful stay and helped us with setting up tours. He was available for questions and acted like our very own concierge. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer.
We were far enough outside of the city and the grounds had beautiful paths that we could explore. Such a great experience. We hope to be back here soon!

I highly recommend staying here! The gardens are beyond beautiful and Max is the best host! The home was fully stocked and very clean. Waking up, admiring the gorgeous grounds, and hearing the sounds of nature all around was humbling. We feel lucky that Max shared his little slice of heaven with us.

This place is lovely. It is a collection of a few units in a gated community which shares a lovely property with gardens and a pool and some hammocks near a peaceful stream. The unit itself is well equiped with a comfy king bed and bathroom in one room and a the second room is great as well. The hot tub on the deck was gorgeous and a much needed respite after a day of hiking.
Max was extremely helpful at checkin and also helped us book restaurants for dinner. The place is about a 10-12 drive from downtown La Fortuna and we could not recommend it enough. Fantastic place!

we had a wonderful time at Bukala village. Max was so helpful with suggestions on activities and even arranging a great private guide for an excellent hike. The house was extremely clean and secure, with unbelievably beautiful gardens, leading to a lovely river. Would highly recommend this home for La Fortuna/arenal activities. Max is great to deal with, so warm and helpful!

The property is fantastic. A relatively short drive out of La Fortunate but so worth the drive. Max is amazing and so accommodating. You will be sorry to miss this property if you are in the area.

Simply Wonderful!
Our stay at the Cala Lilly house was truly wonderful. The home is just as described, if not better in person. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous with lush vegetation with all sorts of tropical flowers drawing a large variety of birds! The home itself was impeccably clean and very well suited for our family of four. The location is about 10-15 minutes outside of downtown; it's quiet and you feel like you're in your own tropical paradise! Sit on the deck and bird watch, relax by the stream or cool off in the pool - all are wonderful! Communication with Magdalena and Max was superb and onsite, Max was incredibly helpful with recommendations of restaurants and such. We highly recommend the Cala Lilly house - it was simply wonderful!

Beautiful property
Was a great location with beautiful grounds. Max was really nice however there was a mixup and mid week we had to change units. It wasn’t a huge deal but was a little annoying to repack and move everything.

A private oasis
We loved this property. Max and Magdalena were very responsive and easy to work with, both before our visit and after we arrived. The villa is a about 10 minutes outside of LaFortuna, but very manageable. Restaurants were still within easy travel. Th property at the villa is beautifully maintained and we felt as if we were in the middle of the rainforest. So many birds to enjoy. Our unit had a hot tub which we made a lot of use of as our private pool. Max was helpful with tour recommendations as well as restaurant recommendations. We would highly recommend this property.

Great Place. Great Owner.
My family of 4 had a great time at this location. The villa is very clean and contemporary...everything looks like new. It’s about a 10 minute drive to downtown La Fortuna where you’ll find everything you need. Max and Magdalena are absolutely wonderful people.

Hidden Gem.
This place was super nice. Max takes great pride in his property and rentals. It’s a bit off the beaten path but well worth it. It was very peaceful watching and listening to the sound of the jungle from the beautiful porch. We highly recommended you stay here. We will definitely be back. Thank you Max your place was very beautiful and welcoming.

This is a really nice two bedroom 2 bath house in beUtiful surroundings!
We stayed for two nights. It is about 15 minutes from La Fortuna which is nice as it is very peaceful. It has a nice stream that runs right through the back of the property. Max was very nice and very helpful. Book your rafting trips through him. We used Wayz and had a hard time finding it. Talking to others they said Google maps took them right there.

Quiet, pleasant, clean & beautiful property
The garden area is very beautiful and our kids enjoyed the refreshing pool. This location is easy to find and close to all the activities in La Fortuna and the Arenal volcano. We would stay again.

It was Perfecto!
The minute we arrived Max gave us some fresh pineapple juice. Super nice guy, very friendly. His dog Emily would visit us every night too. She made us feel welcome as well. The house was perfect and very clean. The best part was the porch looking into the garden. We saw many birds, even Tucans! Loved our first time in La Fortuna. The road from San Juan via rt 1 to 702 is nice, everyone thought it was bad. It was a beautiful drive, a bit windy but a good road. Max offered to come get us, but we managed. We were afraid of getting lost.

Beautiful home 2 bedroom 2 bath great for couples or small family
Manager on site with welcome juice. Max is friendly and helpful suggested restruant with great steak ,salmon and local dishes. The coordinates to the home was spot on. The home is surrounded with plants to invite Hummingbirds, parrots,toucans,tanagers,acaris and many others. We are here in December.Home is modern with a nice deck to enjoy the sound of a small river and outdoors. We went to Casa Mendez for night walk to see the frogs and dinner and they made us feel at home. We also went to Tabacon and Max got us a better rate. We felt as if we were in Paradise.We found a gem.

Beautiful location
Beautiful location, beautiful house, very clean and maintained. The location is a paradise. Host Max is an extremely nice person. Without a doubt I would stay again and would highly recommend.
The reason I am taking away one star is
a)Due to a very poor approach road. Difficult to drive. However not more than a mile
b)Only one glass door in the shower. A proper glass door could avoid the bathroom
becoming wet during shower

Nice little villa
We loved the little villa. It was a beautiful space with a little river running through the back. Max was great to work with and was very accommodating. He was also able to get us some deals on a couple of things like the Hot Springs. We loved it.

Hidden paradise.
Can't thank our hosts Max and Ingrid enough for a wonderful time we had in their villas! Very well equipped, roomy and bright two bedroom villas offer complete privacy and amazing views of the lush gardens. Just a short 15 minutes ride away from La Fortuna and all the restaurants and activities of Arenal area. Even though we did our research, we relied on Max's recommendations to select the best choice of activity that matched our group's interest and were never disappointed! Book all your activities through him! We will not even think of staying anywhere else on our return to Costa Rica.

Clean, peaceful, safe and welcoming home away from home
My friend and I spent 8 nights in the Bukala 3 unit. We found the space well appointed, very safe, clean and comfortable. Our host Max and his family were extremely helpful and friendly. He welcomed us with a homemade fruit smoothie that was incredible. He was a wealth of information for hiking, tours and places to dine. His friendly, personal service was remarkable and helped make our vacation even more amazing. The only suggestion I have is to provide better laundry facilities. The machines available were simply not adequate. Thank you to Ingrid for keeping our space so clean and fresh! A heartfelt and huge thank you to Max for all his help and friendship (including sharing the awesome video of the beautiful sloth)!!!!!! You really helped make our vacation wonderful.

Very nice
The property is brand new and lovely.
The grounds are beautiful.
Magdalena was very accommodating.
The only thing was that the location was just a little farther out than anticipated but the taxi service was wonderful.
Thanks Magdalena

Great villa in a peaceful beautiful spot.
The villa is very comfortable, the grounds are beautiful and the caretaker Max is wonderful. The only negative is that it’s a bit far from town.
