"Excellent stay, property was right on the ocean, food was delicious all the staff was welcoming and helpful. Definitely come prior to nightfall as you need someone to come pick you up on an atv because there is no car access. I found myself in a precarious situation in the darkness of the jungle. If it wasn’t for a man named Johnathan and a couple other men who helped me contact the property (very spotty reception) I don’t know what I would have done. Waze said it was 1hr 15m but it was well over 2 hours to get there as you have to drive very slowly to maintain your vehicle (drops, Stoney path, small stream ) you don’t want to break down in the jungle, as there is no obvious help. Make sure you have cash or colones as you have to park your car on someone’s land. Thanks to a beautiful couple days. Love Costa Rica and the kindness of La gente. Pura Vida"

"The hosts at the site were very helpful and wonderful once we found them. But finding them initially was very hard as the address is difficult to locate and our local taxi got lost. It would be far better if Expedia would send us a good contact # for the people who are actually running the place on the ground before we even came just as VRBO does. There should be more pictures of the outside of the rental as it was very deep in the jungle and very dark as there was no sunshine. There was very little electric lights at night so not possible to read. Other than that it was a great experience staying there as we met up with our son on his birthday at Lapa Rios. The ladies that hosted us were a A + team. Raana Azad"
