"We had a great experience. Kevin saved our bacon twice, when we managed to lock ourselves out of the room safe, and was also able to provide us with a week’s worth of ice, when we probably needed just 3 or 4 days worth, but his enthusiasm and sincerity scored points!"

"Amazing home nestled atop a mountain. Beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean from all rooms! Definitely want a 4 wheel drive vehicle to make it up the steep drive but it's worth it. Close to restaurants in dominical and many attractions are within a 30 min - 45 min drive from the home."

If you want a true jungle experience definitely stay at Valley of Dreams. Fantastic hosts, amazing location surrounded by Toucans, howler monkeys along with many other jungle creatures. First class accommodation made all the better by Matt and Annie
