Beautiful property within a community still being built. This is going to be a fantastic development when fully finished. You definitely will need a 4-wheel drive vehicle to access it (especially in the rainy season). Comfy beds and pillows, cool A/C, lovely pool, beautiful views, all the comforts of home away from home. Stay here, you will not be disappointed! Enjoy!!!
We loved staying at this property. Comfortable beds, and the villa was immaculate. Our kids loved having the outdoor shower(s) and private pool. If other people were staying on the property, we didn't see them.
We did not rent a 4wheel drive vehicle, which is highly recommended. The road leading to the villa was VERY steep. We were fine, but if it had rained during our stay we might have a different opinion on that choice!

Beautiful. Up a steep hill and has bugs
Pros. The place is beautiful. Peaceful jungle retreat. The indoors, outdoors and private pool are great. Nice outdoor showers and the place is very spacious and clean.
Cons. The road going up to the villa is very steep and bumpy. You need an SUV with good clearance and 4wd even tho I only had 2wd. I'm a great driver but going up that hill in the rain was intimidating.
It's the jungle so I expect some bugs but I did see some roaches even tho the place seem clean and there was bugs in the bed
On a whim, we chose to splurge and stay at the chial reserve Villa because it looked beautiful, and once we were there, we immediately called them and booked another night. The villa was incredible, absolutely immaculate! The gounds keepers and staff sooo friendly and helpful! The home was qiuet and stunningly beautiful and private with the most awesome views and sounds of nature, and who would not appreciate their own private pool!
Thank you so much to the Chial Reserve and the staff for all of their help!
We have never loved a stay as mucb as we loved this one! ❤️❤️❤️
