"Amazing property, well thought out comfy beds with fans / power / lights for each….. two different density pillows! There is a nice path to the river and comfy chairs to lounge in. Owners are super friendly and communication was easy. Parking lot is on the left side of the road about 100 feet before you reach the property on the right side of the road. "

Golden Pineapple Villas

Golden Pineapple Villas

10/10 Excellent
"Cool concept. Their goal is to make it feel like you have the property to yourself (small number of villas, off the beaten path), and they achieved that goal (at least for our two night stay). Spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean. Howler monkeys live in their part of the forest, and howl in the morning and evening. Solid restaurant. Friendly personalities. Marlon (waiter at restaurant) was particularly personable, great conversationalist. Don't ignore their guidance that a 4x4 is needed to access the property, the road from Uvita to this property is quite steep and slippery."
