Nice condo in good location
This is a nice place to stay, with monkeys passing by in trees. Nicely furnished, few cooking utensils if you want to eat in. My only complaint would be the property manager never returned any of the 3 calls we made to her and there are no towel racks to hang anything up to dry.

Above all, I appreciate the service that I received by phone. weak points The mattress on the bed was misshapen and not comfortable, the pillows smelled very musty. the powered air was not working at all. wifii signal a little weak in some areas of the house. once again I appreciate the hospitality and support. I hope to return

This was the best place we stayed in Costa. Feng shui, cool a/c, all around perfect set up.
All the facilities were so nice. Big bathroom with high ceilings, nice tub, warm huge shower, comfortable bed and bedding, and everything is very open in the house with large windows and doors that open to the outside and finally the lighting in this place was done with intention. Kitchen is perfect, it has all the amenities for cooking and smoothie making. We felt right at home and loved this unit. The property is also nicely kept with beautiful manicured plants out front. Easy to get to and lots of parking space. Felt very safe the whole time. It's right off the road but yet surrounded by the jungle. We loved waking up to all the jungle chatter every morning... birds, monkeys, cicadas, and toads. All so special. Totally recomend this gem.
