"Our family had such a wonderful time at this great house. A beautiful and comfortable accommodation with plenty of room for our 6 adults and 3 kids. The pool and access to the beaches was a highlight. Everything we could need in the kitchen and the house was sparkling clean. Natalia greeted us on arrival, gave us many helpful suggestions and responded quickly to any questions we had. We would highly recommend this special place."

Amazing Whitewater View Of The Ballena Marine Preserve Islands

10/10 Excellent
"We had an amazing week staying here in Costa Rica! The location was ideal, making it easy to visit both Manuel Antonio and Corcovado National Parks.Mark was an exceptional host, checking in regularly to make sure everything was going well and offering great recommendations for things to do in the area. We booked two excursions with his recommended guide, David, and both were incredible experiences.The Uvita farmers market was a fantastic place to stock up on fresh local produce, and Mark's restaurant recommendations were spot on, especially Citrus, which was outstanding.Two people in our group had health concerns, so having air conditioning in the bedrooms made a huge difference in our comfort. The infinity pool was another highlight and the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring.We would highly recommend staying here and would absolutely love to return for another visit!"

La Cusinga Lodge

La Cusinga Lodge

8/10 Good
"The view was amazing and staff were very friendly. I did not realize that the rooms did not have A/C, so things were hot the first night (reception closed at 8:00), but they were able to get me another fan the second night l, which made things better. Overall, we really enjoyed the stay which included access to a local swimming hole which was very refreshing. The restaurant was the most expensive meal we had in Costa Rica and to be honest, the food was not bad, but not good. Definitely not worth the money spent. We found food more reasonably priced and better tasting outside the resort. I would strongly recommend this site if you want great views, friendly staff, the feeling of being alone, and don’t mind no AC."
