John and Christine were the most incredible hosts! We were lucky enough to visit when they were at the property. My kids and I have dreamed about seeing sea turtles and John arranged for us to go down the beach to release baby turtles the day we arrived. The beach is amazing, we were the only ones on it. Playa Tesoro is a hidden gem and we will be back. Such a beautiful experience with beautiful people. Thank you John and Christine ##### Carrie S.

We stayed 5 nights while it was very hot. 97F It took over 24 hrs to cool the home down when we arrived, but the AC units and ceiling fans worked very well. The home is remodeled modern. It was perfect for our stay. I enjoyed cooking on an open fire every evening. We brought all of our food supplies with us. The beach is miles long with no one around.. we found a live sea horse, a dead puffer fish and 2 dead sea turtles. The ocean water is warm. Really great place. I highly reccomend you to stay here if you are looking for a beautiful remote beach property that has all yer needs covered. ##### blair a.

Een bezoek aan de schildpadden ‘boerderij’ vlakbij is aan te bevelen. De sofa’s in huis zijn geweldig, ze zitten heerlijk. Helaas hadden we veel last van muggen en wat het huis echt zou verbeteren, is een buiten douche. ##### Ilonka V.

The house was super comfortable, great food and environment there at Playa Tesoro. Roberto and his helper took great care of us, and were over the top considerate. The Mangrove tour was breathtaking at night and a real treat by Roberto. Next time, we'll skip the grocery store and just eat at the restaurant. Partying by the pool under the stars was pretty amazing too. Having Leon closeby was nice too. ---
