More than we expected!
Our family of 4 (kids 9 & 11) found ourselves privileged to be the first to stay here. The large dome was clean & well-appointed. It provides a peaceful & cozy vibe. The large shower was perfect for a luxurious rinse off after the beach, the lounger sofas were cozy for curling up with a book or listening to tunes using the Bluetooth built-in speaker, & the bed was comfortable too. The kitchenette was well stocked. We could hear & see howler monkeys off the deck. Travel from SJO was simple, the Paquera ferry drop-off is 10 minutes from the dome & accessible without 4x4. The highlight of the location was the close proximity to Playa Organos, a quiet beach oasis with a beach-side restaurant whose menu satisfied our kids. Excursions included a trip to Isla Tortuga, night kayaking in bioluminescent waters & enjoying the abundance of wildlife at the Curu Wildlife Reserve; all within 30-minutes. Additional value that cannot be understated came from that of our host, Carlos. From the time of booking and throughout our stay, Carlos, who lives nearby, was exceptionally accessible & attentive. Issues that arose, such as the need for a clothes line, handled within hours regardless of their urgency. We were delighted to have been able to tap into Carlos’ vast network of local connections & knowledge that he’s cultivated in his 14 years here. We would definitely return & we share Carlos’ excitement as his vision of dome units surrounding a communal outdoor living/cooking space takes shape.
