"Heise (sp?) and Lattika were the perfect hosts. Lattika made sure that everything we needed was taken care of . She was also very knowledgable about the various native animals who live in the neighborhood (how she could spot sloths is a mystery to me ). Breakfast was amazing ! "

"We had a wonderful time during our stay in Matapalo!Eithne was a great host and the home was just what the doctor ordered!The home was well appointed with great quality goods. The kitchen was easily the best outfitted I’ve ever rented!As mentioned earlier, the driveway gets easier with practice, no sweat with 4 wheel drive. You will need the 4x4, makes it easy peasy. The house manager will guide you there the first time I almost forgot about the pool, very nice and well maintained. My advice is to stay here for a great view of nature and get a great house as a welcome benefit!"

"My wife and I hosted a 4-night creativity, art and music, retreat at this amazing place and it worked perfectly. We were 14 people (we rented this full villa and the 'owner's villa' next to it.) The location is breathtaking. Literally steps from a beautiful beach that we more or less had to ourselves. The ocean here is perfect for swimming and splashing around. We had visits from Capuchin monkeys, a sloth, and many beautiful birds and iguanas. The rooms are amazing and all our guest were very happy with the accommodations. The upstairs master bedroom is incredible. We hired Karla to make our lunches and dinners and her cooking was delicious and varied with lots of local fruits, vegetables and flavors. We worked with her to create the menu and it exceeded expectations. The villa is close to a little store that is well stocked for most anything. We also worked with Flory to coordinated transportation and scheduling and she is a joy to work with. The owners were very responsive as well. This is a fantastic place to stay and we hope to be back!"

"This is a spectacular setting, and lives up to the pictures. It is hard to find, however and needs better signage. The pool is really nice. The open concept of the home was great for our family. We enjoyed the four king bed suites. We loved the views. The outdoor grill worked well. The kitchen needs upgrading to match the beautiful home. We spent Christmas here and are glad we did. The only thing we would have wished for was the chef recommended by the host to follow through on his plans. He bailed on us the day before our arrival. The closest grocery store is about 20 minutes away."

"We are so thankful for Wil. Wil is the property manager (I'm not sure of his actual title). How helped us get up and down the mountain each day. He brought us food the first day while we were trying to figure out the best plans of actions. YOU WILL NEED A 4X4. Even with a 4x4 I am not sure I would have been able to drive up this mountain! We would have been okay to just stay in this mountain home and watch the toucans all week!The house was what was pictured. It was beautiful. As some other reviews stated, there is some maintenance needed, but it does not detract from the natural beauty around this home. The walk to the pool is beautiful, but it is definitely a walk with a lot of stairs."

"This property was exactly what we were expecting it to be. Clean, beautiful and peaceful. Gelena was terrific!! Her directions were clear. She provided us links to excursions we may be interested in, and ensured our stay exceeded our needs/wants. Thank you for hosting us Gelena, it was very much appreciated."

"Everything here was fabulous, as soon as we hit that road we knew our view and our privacy were going to be exactly what we wanted. Nothing was lacking. We were surprised that others made comments about the road, no cross ditches, no potholes, just one little creek and this was after heavy rains (thinking those comments came from parking lot princesses lol). Oh...the view from the pool is spectacular "

"We really loved this house. It was so clean and had everything we needed and more. The host company was extremely helpful and very quick to respond. The pool was clean and the property was so cool. The plants and wildlife were so cool! We saw parrots and toucan, lots cool insects, coatimundi, toads, butterflies, lizards, frogs, toads, hummingbirds, and more. Great place for older kids and adults. There are a lot of stairs and the master bedroom in with the main living areas. The other bedrooms are completely separate and below the main living space you get to by stairs. This was actually really nice for our teens to have their own space. The view from the balcony was gorgeous and each night parrots would fly over as we watched the sunset. There are a lot of bathrooms and huge showers. This was a great location to be close to different parks and other things to do while still being very private. The waterfall was very pretty. You’re ready to get in the pool by the time you walk back. "
