Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cherice T. 30 Mar 2019 #### Beautiful jungle place We had monkeys visit twice. It was kind of like glamping. We really learned to enjoy the open air experience. Plus Thomas was wonderful and shared lots of knowledge. He also connected us with Carlos who picked us up and dropped us off at the airport. We also had him for a tour guide one day. Amazing trip! ##### Cherice T. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peggy F. 5 Feb 2019 #### Absolutely gorgeous and amazing home! My family and I fell in love with this home. Great location. A quick walk to the beach. The best part is sitting in the living room and watching the monkeys in the surrounding trees. The house is nicely appointed. The rooms are really cute. My only regret is not staying here longer. Four nights was not enough. Stay here. You won't regret it. ##### Peggy F. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marko M. 17 Jan 2019 #### Puerto Viejo paradise Stunning open air house with all equipment necessary, nice jacuzzy.
