Wasn’t suitable for us
The place is isolated, and very dark,felt scared at night. It is not mentioned that it is only a few meters away from a main highway and trucks are constant 24/7 drowning out any of the peaceful sounds we were hoping for and making it difficult to sleep. The apartment was probably lovely once but it is tired and not maintained very well. I note that the building is for sale and that would account for this. We are in our 70s so unsuitable for us.

Beautiful House
This was a beautiful house near the national parks and town. Would be great to rent the whole thing with a larger group. Cannot walk to beach. Short drive to Uvita beaches. Overall great stay.

Paradise in the jungle
We loved this place, well equipped, very nice location. Lots of birds and monkeys to see, great jungle like setting with the trees around us and a stream. We would liked to have direct beach access but going through the Lenora restaurant and getting a meal there was just nice, The only issues was the internet access, if it was high speed and reliable this place would be excellent.
