The hostess was nice but due to having no windows it was extremely hot in the room at night. Also the owner has dogs that like to bark when anyone drove by no matter the hour. Luckily the hostess worked with us and let us cancel our reservation to find a more quiet place that had windows and ac.
It was quiet and comfortable. The charm of the room made the stay very relaxing. We didn’t miss not having a television. The internet was slow so don’t expect to get any work done if you planned on working instead of enjoying the nearby beach.

Well this is my first time on that side of Costa Rica and my overall opinion of the property was OK the hot water worked and neither one of our rooms and nobody seem to care to fix it the breakfast was a little bit pricey most places include a free breakfast The beach was black sand not a very pretty beach no stores are close by and the walk to town is a good one I probably cannot stay there again due to the fact that it was too far from anywhere to eat but for the price it wasn’t bad the owner was a friendly lady

Expensive not worth
The breakfas was included but never get the breakfast, because the owners are not there to make the breakfast they are walking on the beach and don't care about serving the breakfast, second the ceiling fan in the room are VERY VERY dirty see photos, it is not good for the price for this place the price is not more than $60 max...I want add photos of the ceiling fan here but it not work ...
But it is REALLY VERY DIRTY
Never again
I recommend 100% El Encanto
This place was the worst. The bed was so bad my back aches the next day, you can literally see the springs through the thread bare linens. The blankets were so used, I wouldn’t expect my dog to sleep on them. We came back one afternoon to termite waste on our bed, it was more than we could take. We happily walked away from the entire weeks pre-payment with no regrets. We use VRBO all the time, and this was without a doubt the worst place we have ever stayed at.
La cabaña es muy amplia y cómoda, rodeada de naturaleza. Los dueños son muy amables. La zona en general es muy caliente y húmeda por lo que se requiere de un buen ventilador (aire acondicionado casi no manejan en la zona), desafortunadamente el de nuestra habitación no funcionaba y al ser un lugar tan alejado de la capital no pudieron mandarlo a arreglar.
A lovely, relaxing place to stay right on the beachfront. Stayed in the cottage and it is very well equipped for a little getaway home from home, while the regular rooms seem perfectly comfortable for short trips or where self catering option isn't needed. The owner, Isabelle, is also very friendly and welcoming. Would recommend!
