Great location. Horrible stay

I NEVER do any reviews. This was compelling. We had a horrible two night stay. For the entire two days, not a drop of running water!! The host said it could come anytime but he did not know when because it was a ‘water company problem’. He ‘could not do anything about it and “that’s the way it is” he said. There was a hot tub outside, that was thankfully filled. We had to use a bucket to bring water from the Tub to get the toilet flushed. The hot tub had to be connected with an extension wire with an outlet. That allowed the motor to run, but the water never heated. A bunch of electrical outlets were not working. We used the same extension cord by brining it inside the cabin to hook up the laptop etc. The non stick utensils are totally worn out of its non stick surface.

Thank you for your comments, it´s not common to have this type of situations but it can happen anywhere in Costa Rica, unfortunately it did occur this time here while you´re here. Very good to know you like the location and the house, unfortunately we are not the water provision company in Costa Rica and can´t have control over this. We´ll take care about the outlets, maybe just a wire got loose or something. Pura vida!!

The house was wonderful. Brian and Diego were extremely accommodating. I would suggest a midsize SUV at a minimum and 4wd if rainy as the road to the house requires more than a car. Location is excellent. Will be staying here again.

Great stay!

Villa Mariposa is upscale, brand new and very comfortable! It is super clean with modern amenities including AC. We especially loved the deck and being in the canopy of the forest. Nature is abundant! Brian, the concierge is available to help with all yours needs. It was a pleasure meeting him! Thank you for sharing your home. Pura Vida.

Great house -- clean, quiet, and very functional.

This was my favorite rental in Costa Rica. The house is nearly new, with very functional AC, appliances, hot water, hot tub, and a comfortable king bed. It's in a remote jungle setting -- very quiet, with monkeys and many birds in the surrounding forest. The only downside for me is that it's a half hour from Manuel Antonio, rather than a few minutes, and a car is necessary for transportation. However, the peace and quiet was worth it. The manager, Brian, is very helpful, friendly, and respectful, and speaks English very well. Great stay.
