Garden of Eden

This property was perfect. The peace and quite, the beauty, the staff fast responses.... ABSOLUTELY what I needed. You can't go wrong unless you don't have a 4x4 or all wheel drive... LOL

We were very happy to have chosen Cascada Azul.

Well equipped and maintained apartments. Very nice pool area and garden. Beautiful views. Very fast response from property manager. Getting to the facility can be a bit of a struggle if you don't have an SUV (for ground clearance) or you don't like driving semi-off road. Otherwise the area is very beautiful. The sunsets are amazing. We are very happy to have chosen Cascada Azul.

Mountain retreat

If you want to unplug from the world without the crowds with an incredible view of the sunset then this is a great pace to go. The dryer went out one morning and when I let the property owner know about it there was a new one that afternoon. The pool Is your own little paradise away from home and great place to hang out and if you want to and cook your dinner. Beaches are close by as well as waterfalls and if you want to, skydiving out the town of Quepos. I loved it. Pura Vida’n

A real jungle gem

Myself and two friends stayed for a week during the first week of March. The property was clean and quiet the pool was so pristine and gorgeous and clean. We saw plenty of wildlife on the property. One thing that I feel needs to be made a little bit more clear is that a four-wheel-drive vehicle is absolutely necessary in order to make it to the villas. It’s noted in the property listing, but it said recommended and so we ended up bringing our Uber driver from the airport in San Jose up the treacherous hill to get there and he got terribly terribly stuck and completely stripped his tires on his vehicle. Another thing is the listing says it has a full kitchen, but there were two forks, and no can opener, and the knives were terribly dull. All in all, it was a very pleasant stay. I would recommend this.

Gut

Das Appartement hatte eine wunderschöne Lage.Sie wohnen in mitten eines Dschungels.Morgens wurde man geweckt durch eine herrliche Geräuschkulisse von verschiedenen seltenen Vögel.Die Anlage war sehr sauber.Die Kommunikation lief reibungslos und Anliegen wurden sofort beantwortet.Die Anfahrt war ein wenig holprig durch einen 3 km langen Schotterweg bergauf.Hier würde ich jedem ein 4x4 Antrieb empfehlen.Das Appartement ist Teil einer Gebäudereihe aus zehn Ferienhäusern. Leider sind die Wände akustisch schlecht gedämpft. Dies kann dazu führen, dass die Nachbarn ihre Ruhe stören. Die Ausstattung für längere Aufenthalte lässt viele Wünsche offen (beispielsweise Küchenausstattung)
