Beautiful house with stunning outdoor views of jungle and ocean, unforgettable sunsets and starlit skies. New suite is comfortable, but small room with two beds is too small for teenagers + suitcases. A/C only in rooms. Location feels isolated and remote. You will see no one (maybe one or two cars a day). You will definitely have to muster up courage for the drive to the house. Get a Luxury 4x4 from Alamo. Because of the road and the remote location, we found ourselves avoiding any activities that had us out at night or when it looked like it would rain. Restaurants and stores are in Uvita, a 15-20min drive away. I wish we had stayed in Uvita, closer to everything we needed, not to mention, people!
It would have been nice for the house to have supplies (candles, battery-powered lights, working flashlights) for frequent power outages. No electricity means no Wi-Fi (communication via WhatsApp), TV, or A/C. We had a 16hr outage. Even in good weather, the Internet is unreliable, hindering work and communication. My husband had to go find a co-working space in Uvita. Rinse your dishes before using them because geckos are not just high up near the ceiling. House managers are helpful, but they could have put some more thought into the guest experience. For example, hooks for wet items (towels, bathing suits) better lighting (lamps) in the bedroom, and more comfortable seating to watch TV together. Overall, enjoyable stay. I hope this review helps you manage your expectations.
