Teresa, Feb 2025
Pros (+) 2 bedroom condo extremely clean and decorated nicely. Fully equipped kitchen that we didn’t use. Great to have a washer and dryer
Cons (-) Beach area poorly equipped Only 2 old lounge chairs available to guests. Beach area could be greatly improved to make a better experience for guests. Property manager was exceptional and did provide us with three beach chairs we then carried to beach. Pool area was peaceful. Not much bird or animal sightings when we were there compared to other areas but rain probably kept them away. Security gate...

Pros (+) Remarkable location with a nearly private beach. Truly - the beach is unbelievable and just a short walk on a boardwalk from the main complex - we'd hear howler monkeys in the AM moving through the surrounding jungle. Condo was tasteful and well appointed. Beds were dreamy and kitchen was well stocked. Staff was responsive. Short drive to grocery stores + activities in Uvita area. TONS of great ea...
Cons (-) I think the only thing I'd suggest is allowing guests to self check out the surf boards / sups / boogie boards so it didn't have to be coordinated w office hours. Early am waves were the best time to boogie board but the office doesn't open until 9am. That's pretty minimal feedback though - everything else was great !

Gunnar, Feb 2019
Pros (+) The location in the jungle was exciting, only two minutes walk to the beach. Good service at the beach with chairs and parasols and coconuts to drink. All cooking stuff in the kitchen to make own breakfast and other meals. They were all kind and helpful: Oscar, Ariel and Kevin at the beach and Olman and Kevin in the office.
Cons (-) The only bad thing was to leave the place. We met some people who planned to settle down there for good. And we envied them. We promised to come back and we already plan for it.
