My second stay here. A little noisy but just a great place. Property manager a very nice helpful man.

This is a great place to stay, with fresh fish around the corner, a small store with almost all your needs, and a butcher a few blocks away. We used the AC in the bedroom for sleeping, but were fine mornings and afternoons. The 3rd floor pool is nice and clean with an exceptional view. Morning coffee up there watching the sunrise is nice as well.

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at Casa Chiva and thoroughly enjoyed it. The apartments are simple but modern with air, kitchenette, television and hot, pressured water for showering. The rooftop view is spectacular and the small pool was clean and enjoyable. Highly recommended.

Having been to Barra before I knew right away that the location would be ideal and it was. Well designed and outfitted. Great view from roof top pool and terrace.

This property and Barra de Navidad both exceeded our expectations. The property is new, so the showers, toilet, furniture, fridge .... are all new and excellent. The location in Barra is ideal. It is in the centre of a 5 block radius where the best restaurants and shops are located. Every night there are entertainers and music somewhere near by. The unit"s rooftop pool area is an ideal sanctuary, with several lawn chairs, shade, sun, bbq and only 3 units in the entire complex share this area. The property manager, Abel, is very friendly and on call always. He will even take you on trips. Above and beyond the call of duty. We will always fondly remember this vacation and would return in a moments notice.

My husband and I arrived and were greeted by Abel the property Manager - he guided us into our parking spot and we then had a lovely conversation as he helped us settle in. He was so accommodating and helpful and such a sweet person. The house is brand new and well stocked - beautifully furnished. It is minutes away from everything and the hotel and houses beside house some very friendly and helpful people. It can get a bit lively at times but we love feeling that party atmosphere and we are old. We loved it so much we are booked again for next year....and can't wait. Thank you Kane and Abel for your hospitality!!

Casa Chiva is in the heart of Barra....a block from the ocean and lagoon and malecon....many restaurants and live music bars.

Newly renovated the 1 bedroom suite was very nice. Be prepared for lots of noise from cars outside the front living room/kitchen, but in the back bedroom with the door closed it is much more quiet. Equipped well enough with kitchen supplies and linen and I am sure they will add more niceties such as a small table for eating, toilet brush, lock on the screen door, and water dispenser. I think we were the first or 2nd occupant so they are gust getting things going. If we returned to Barra we would definitely consider staying in this suite again. It is nice and close to the ocean, lagoon and the malaquin (walk way out to the point).

Nicely equipped apartment perfect for a couple. Steps to everything Barra de Navidad has to offer. Top floor has a palapa covered deck and private swimming pool with views of the bay and lagoon. Very clean and the caretaker,Able, was helpful and able to answer any questions that came up. Although on a quiet street it can get a little noisey,especially on Saturday nights. But that didn't bother me. Close to many restaurants and the Malecon as well as bus stops,ATM,and shops and services. Highly recommended !!
