Great stay with some reservations

The unit was clean and the management was very helpful However we had a couple of comments: 1. The pool advertised on VRBO ended up being more like a bath it was so warm. It could not be used- perhaps cooling water could be used. 2. Our neighbours were on their balcóny too a lot and smoked and the smoke blew into our balcony most of the time- not sure how to get around this but it limited our balcony/ porch time

So, The property is in need of upgrade, ants and cockroaches found regularly at the premise. Kitchen faucet leaking, head shower in a newly updated bathroom had no pressure water whatsoever, pots and pans very mediocre, cutlery poor quality, dull knives, etc. The hammock on the porch torn and dirty and broken and not usable. The AC was GOOD, internet signal strong, vicinity of the beach excellent, however not swimable at all and without any risk warnings of the RIP currents, that are significant and the management should put a visible sign of it and should be placed in front of the bungalows, entrance of the beach. Also, we are happy with the Hugo’s help and guidance while we stayed there. WE stayed for 21 days and the bed sheets were never offered to be changed. The barbecue was dirty and poorly maintained and we did not use it once and was placed inconveniently on the ground floor, etc. We like the area, security of the premises and quietness. We give 7.5 out of 10.

Cute and Cuddly

our family of 5 stayed in this cute bungalow for 3 nights. It was a a great place for our family to enjoy some family time together. The kitchen table was a bit tight to sit around but other than that, we had a great facilities. The pool was refreshing, the short walk to the beach was just as it says and the daily visits from the Macaws and other feathered friends made it so beautiful. Brian was a great host and was there to answer any questions we had. The bungalow community was very friendly and even had a friendly shrimp salesaman selling fresh shrimp.

Excellent location away from town center but close for essentials

This group of bungalows is very quaint. It is away from the main hub of Jaco, but only by about 10 minutes so it is a short commute if you need something from town. The beach is literally across the street so only about 100 yards from our bungalow. The beaches were not crowded at all, which is something we really enjoyed.

Bungalow is Awesome!

We loved the bungalow! so comfortable, access to beach was incredible and had all the amenities to enjoy including A/C. I would rate this a Must Stay for anyone, especially those who like easy beach access. Some of the best surf breaks right outside your door in all of Costa Rica.

Staying in bungalow 13 was our lucky number. Clean, with all the amenities one needs for relaxing.

The Bungalo’s are set up to give you privacy on the balcony for watching the beautiful sunsets. The entire grounds are very well-maintained with a friendly staff willing to give help when you need it. We had originally booked for only a week, but ended up staying for extra time because of the great location and access to everything we wanted to do. Thank you Brian for all of the help that you gave us and getting Hermosa dialed in!

Beautiful and relaxing

This is a review for bungalow #13. This home is beautiful and spacious. It is beautifully decorated. The master bedroom is very comfortable. The home is about 10 minutes from downtown Jaco. There are several delicious restaurants within walking distance from this home. We will definitely come back. Thanks for sharing your home with us. The Bernal Family

Sweet!!

I have stayed at the Playa Hermosa Bungalows #13 almost a week, from late October into early November, and I have had such a fine time! The little bungalow I stayed in (one out of 26) is very well set up, cozy and comfortable (the bed is very nice...that rates high for me!). The area is very quiet, full of birds and with the sound of the waves as background music the whole time. Just a calming, restful, peaceful sweet place. The manager (Greg) is a real good guy, very helpful and available, and he has 3 groundskeepers that keep the place immaculate! The beach is super long to the south, so great for long walks. The ocean water is warm, though to be candid, the waves and currents here can be strong, so you must be very respectful and be attentive to anyone who is young or not a strong swimmer. But it's so healing to be in and around! Also, it is about a mile walk to some restaurants, bars and a little store...so one can check out that scene easily (try the Costa Rican "Casada" meal...a good deal and a lot of food!). Also, Greg has been great about setting me up with activities, taxi's, rental cars, and generous with information. I could go on and on, but I will just say "come here and stay", you will be glad you did! Cheers, Bob
