Huvilat – Carara

”Location is not easily accessible especially after dark. The local pub let me borrow one of their guys to escort me into the bushy property. Upon arrival the lights were turned off and the hotel keepers came out because my new friend called them out. He told them I was guest and that was when the confusion began. I was repeatedly told I did not have a reservation although I was showing them the receipt and reservation. They said they did not work with Apps and that they only rented to...

”Nothing about this stay was acceptable. If I could give less than one star, I would. 1. No hot water in the unit. 2. Kitchen was infested with ants and effectively unusable, forcing us to eat out. 3. Curtain rail in the bedroom was held together with duct tape and eventually fell down onto my children. 4.Beds were misrepresented in the listing. It advertised one King and two Queens; in reality, it was one Queen and two Double beds. 5. Only two towels were provided for four people....

”The main bed was small for two adults and the resort itself was a bit run down. The tennis courts and pool were not usable. The kitchen had a good supply of pans, utensils, and kitchen tools. The area itself was super quiet.”

”We had the best time ever in this gorgeous home. The views are amazing. We had coffee with toucans and macaws, evening visitors like coatimundis, and so many other birds. Stargazing was fun sitting by the pool at night. We loved jumping in the pool after a day of adventures, and even swimming in a pop up rain storm. We were able to easily travel down to Play Herradura and Jaco beach for activities and restaurants. Having the grill on the deck was great for when we just wanted to relax and...

”The villa required renovation and was in poor condition. The staff were reasonably helpful but the amenities were below standard. The pool and property position to the beach were great.”

”I'm sorry to say but be careful booking here. They did not honor our Expedia reservation and turned us away. We Just flew in and drove from San Jose then had to find another place. Everyone was booked and drove 30 min out of town to find another place. Then Expedia tried to contact them to obtain the refund and they are not communicating with Expedia and now Expedia is not refunding me. ”

”Everything was even better than our expectations. Beautiful location, on-site manager was always available and helpful. Breakfast was fresh and delicious. Magical experience all around!”

”The castle of Oz was an amazing place to stay. Its secluded enough to see animals yet close enough to town and the beach to enjoy all. We had a party of 13 and it was perfect for all of us. The staff was amazing. We couldn't have asked for more. Having a chef and driver's really made the difference in this trip. Especially having the drivers because they know where to go. If I had been driving I don't think I could have found my way around. I can't recommend the castle enough. Thank you for a...

”The house was spacious and clean, the kitchen was large and fully equipped. The kingsized bed in the master bedroom was large and comfortable with a great morning and night view. The pool was as advertised: very nice temperature and large enough for a family. The TV worked well with many channels but we did not use it.Eunice, the local property manager, was quickly responsive to text and phone communications.We enjoyed our time at Villa Serenidad immensely.”

”Excellent place to stay. Very unique Great veiw of Jaco. Matthew was a lot of help.”

”This property surpassed our expectations! The host was accommodating and ensured we were happy with our accommodations. And although the pictures listed are eye catching, they do not capture the essence and true beauty of this home.This is truly a hidden gem in the heart of Costa Rica. You’re surrounded by nature, but steps away from the city. Do not hesitate to book this property for your next trip!”

”Endroit de rêve. Vue à couper le souffle! J’avais crainte de dormir sans a/c mais la brise des montagnes est nettement plus confortable. Merci pour le sejour.”
