Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was very nice and clean. I appreciated the hosts’ work to make it an enjoyable stay. The howler monkeys hooting at 5:30 am made sure I didn’t sleep in for my 7 am start at Costa Rica Dive and Surf. It was a pleasant stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I loved being in the jungle staying in a bus with ensuite bathroom and kitchen. The 10-minute walk to the beach was not strenuous and I virtually had that part of the beach to myself. There was a nice pool on the premises. I enjoyed the homey atmosphere and feeling like I was part of the family.

The owners were so helpful! They had food delivered to us as we didn't have a car and scheduled a taxi for us to go to the ATM. Over and above! Howler monkeys very cool to hear in the jungle.
