Bernardo is an amazing host, very accommodating. It was our first time in Costa Rica. We spend 2 wonderful weeks and looking to come back asap. ##### Pierre-Luc G.

We had a wonderful relaxing week at the beach. Several members of our group are birders and loved seeing so many great species right from the garden! The location was peaceful and had access to tours and parks within an hour's drive. ##### Jane H.

The pool and ocean access are wonderful. Unfortunately, the power went out and would have liked to have been given candles or lanterns as it was getting very dark. But has soon as I asked for them, the power was restored. Overall, great place to stay, ##### Connie N. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Will G., United States 4 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Best of Costa Rica After spending several weeks in various locations across CR, this Tivives home was by far our favorite. We had a large party and this home allowed all the privacy they needed while providing excellent communal space. The pool, cabana, open kitchen and access to a virtually private beach were outstanding. It is a bit remote, but I highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to get away from the resorts and other tourists. Also, please try Rastaurante Costa Linda at the entrance to the community. Wonderful people. Bernardo was a wonderful host and after a little initial miscommunication (which he corrected immediately) we had zero issues. Very helpful. ##### Will G.

We enjoyed every moment of our stay there. The pictures are very accurate and the view was beautiful. The pool was so amazing to be on the beach with the view it has. I would most definitely recommend a stay here. Bernardo was very nice and a great property manager. One night at 9pm I called him because a key to a certain door was not there. He went out of his way to have a key delivered to us immediately. It was late and I did not expect an answer to be honest. Very thankful for the great communication. Only downside is the beach there isn’t friendly. Very powerful and lots of tree logs everywhere but still a beautiful sight. ##### Eric S.
