Om overnatningsstedet

Hvor de vilde ting er! Ecclectic Seaview Villa, pool og regnskov bevare

Cielomar tilbyder mere end en ferieudlejning. Vores formål er at uddanne og glæde dig med en unik og sjælden regnskovoplevelse i det vildtlevende mekka omkring mit farverige hyggelige hjem.
Cielomar er en vandrende tre etagers villa beliggende på den højeste ryg over stranden.
Hver historie har ekspansive balkoner med havudsigt, og ovenpå har en fugleperspektiv af skoven og havet.
Huset er fyldt med karakter og kunst, der er masser af samlingssteder og private rum til bare at være. Vi er hyggelige og sjove, ikke specielt smarte, men godt udstyrede og behagelige.
Fuldt udstyret køkken og varmt vand overalt, og med smukke trægulve og vindeltrappe lavet af bjærget jungeltræ, flisemosaik og farverige vægmalerier dekorerer væggene.
Gå ud på en af havudsigts balkonerne og undre dig over stemningerne og farverne i havet nedenfor, altid skiftende, altid magisk. Se det flade turkishav eller fjerne rumlende skyer maler en ny historie for dig hver morgen.
Skyer fødes i jungle-kløfterne bag huset, og vi kan prale af en kølig brise fra kløfterne til havet nedenfor.
Puljen har en våd bar, grill, overdækket spiseplads og er omgivet af en stadigt skiftende visning af tropiske blomster. Dyrelivet elsker at være på toppen af ryggen, og nogle af de bedste seværdigheder har været fra poolen.
HUSBESKRIVELSE
BEDRIFTER ... The Jungle Room Open air view room og dronning soveværelse
Bred åben udsigt over store træer, humørige bølger og flyvende fugle glæder dig. Det er et højdepunkt på en høj ryg.

Der er hyggelige læsehuller og et spottingomfang, endda et indbygget skak- og skakbord. Det er fantastisk!


STUEETAGE
Stueetagen interiør har en åben plan med et stort køkken, spisestue og opholdsstue. Sjovt berøring
inkluderer håndmalet vægmaleri og bordplader på hårdttræ og bord. Et pænt trægulv

og bjælkelofter pryder stuen, og i midten er en af en slags vindeltrappe. De levende

adgang fra det tilstødende soveværelse.
En stor overdækket veranda strækker sig længden af huset med spektakulær havudsigt.

NABOLAGET
 Vi er placeret over den lille landsby P lå Chiquita / Punta Uva. Playa Chiquita ia i bunden af vores bakke, cirka ½ mil fra huset. Den verdensberømte Punta Uva-strand ligger cirka halvanden kilometer fra os, enten ad vej eller den dejlige strandsti, der går langs strande helt fra Puerto Viejo til Manzanillo. Cielomar er omkring 3 miles fra Puerto og fire fra Manzanillo.
Cielomar er på toppen af ryggen. Den vigtigste strandvej handler om en fem minutters gang ned ad bakken.
Strandvejen er foret med spisesteder og små købmandsforretninger og butikker.

Havbriser og kold tåge fra kløfterne holder vores lille bjerg køligt, selv på de varmeste dage. Det
Området er kendt for blide natregn og tempereret vejr året rundt, det er meget som paradis.
SKABER, DER RINGER VORES BERGHJEM
Glæde når truede grønne ara er forbi for at lege i vores træer og dele havbrisen med vores gæster.
Tag en dukkert i poolen, mens aber spiller overhead.
Del morgenbrisen med flokke tukaner og papegøjer
Hængekøje ud og være doven med en dovendyr
Spis morgenkaffe med agoutis, mens du leder efter grønne leguaner, der hygger sig blandt bromeliaderne på
lemmerne af de gigantiske regnskovstræer.
Under de årlige Great Bird Migrations i foråret og efteråret er der ikke noget bedre sted at se på
raptors ved de tusinder, der går forbi. Det er et fantastisk syn at se timer af høge, gribbe og
mindre rovfugle samlet rundt i termalerne ... det er en fuglefest !!!Bedst af alt, fordi vi er øverst
af ryggen foregår handlingen rundt omkring os ..
Vågn din eventyrlystne ånd og tag en vandretur i vores skov .. Kig hundreder af fod op i gigantiske gangpalmer og sjældne gamle væksttrætræer, der er større omkring biler, dryppende med bromeliader og vinstokke. Stop, vær stille og lyt til jungle-symfonierne fra treefroges, fugle og crickets.

Vores primitive stier snor sig gennem kløfter og kamme af vores skov, krydser kølige bæk og fører til en traditionel indbygget Rancho højt på en blæsende ryg .. Stop og forestil dig at bo i den bolig, der bruges af hjemmeboere her i junglen

Cielomar er en baldakinoplevelse ”…
..men du vil hen til STRANDEN? OKAY SÅ..
GÅ TIL STRANDEN?!!!
Mindre end ti minutters gang ned ad bjerget ligger STRANDEN ved Playa Chiquita,
en af strengen med smukke strande langs halvøen mellem Puerto Viejo og Manzanillo.
Strandene er placeret langs et rev, når det er klart der er stor snorkling og tidepooler til børn.
Når bølgerne er op, er surfingen verdensklasse.
Vi har snorkling, svømning, dykning, delfin ture, fiskerbåde, surfbrætter, sand og sol.
Strandene inviterer dig til at lege. Store udendørs spillesteder tilbyder drinks og specialiteter fra Caribien til skaldyr.
Alt hvad du skal gøre er at vælge mellem spektakulære strande!
Vi er mindre end en kilometer fra den kære lille Playa Chiquita, afsondret og roligt.
to kilometer væk ligger den verdensberømte Punta Uva-strand, gentagne gange navngivet som en af verdener
smukkeste strande, stor rolig baby pool-område med livreddere.
Cocles Beach, to kilometer den anden retning er en fantastisk surfstrand. Internationale konkurrenter
konkurrere i vandet der og på Salsa Brava, en berømt bølge på punktet i Puerto Viejo..3. km fra Cielomar.
Disse smukke strande er stadig urørte og stille på hverdage .. Weekender henter, men der er
leje af kajakker, drager, snorkler og havlegetøj til leje og livreddere langs strandene hver weekend,
sammen med en sjov feststemning. Delfinudflugter, dykketure og fiskerbåde er tilgængelige på Punta Uva.

Vil du have kultur?Gå til byen!
Puerto Viejo er centrum for turisme på Costa Ricas østkyst. Det er en livlig blomstrende by og sjovt
at slentre igennem og lytte til musik, spise en god middag eller danse. Der er et udvalg af restauranter
flere købmandsforretninger, to banker og en medicinsk klinik i byen sammen med butikker og rejsefirmaer.
Live musik er rigeligt. Der er raggae, salsa, World, Caribe beat og rock and roll hver nat rundt
by. Fødevarer er utroligt med kokke fra hele verden, der konkurrerer om at være kendt som den bedste af
bedst. Afro caribe-mad er dejlig med få fisk på jorden lige så velsmagende som den lokale røde snapper en estillo Caribe.
Den costaricanske favorit Gallo Pinto forbedres med kokosmelk og de friske fangede lokale hummer
er en godbid. Mens du prøver her Rondon.(rundown ..) en lækker favorit med en vittighed i dens navn.)
Den italienske mad er fremragende. Der er mange vegetariske og veganske restauranter sammen med en fusion af
mad fra hele verden. og frisk og sund mad er normen.
Hver tur, der tilbydes i den østlige halvdel af landet, kan bookes ind og ud af Puerto Viejo.
Whitewater-rafting er en turistfavorit, uforglemmelig natur og stor spænding alt sammen på en dagstur. Cahuita
Nationalpark og Gandoca Refuge er must sees, vandfald, chocolatier, oprindelige landsbyer, zipliner,
og naturreservater omgiver os ... du skulle være et år for at gøre det hele .. Jaguar Rescue
Center er en lokal helligdom, der er mindre end to miles væk og er yderst informativ om lokale
dyreliv.
Kulturen er vidunderlig og afslappet. Afro caribe-folk er venlige og imødekommende, og området har det
omdannet til en lille Nirvana med en indbydende en verdensfølelse. Folk i mange nationer sameksisterer heldigvis.
Cykler kan lejes på strandvejen, og rideture i området er sublim.
Hvis du lejer en bil for at rejse til CieloMar, er et firehjulstræk bedst. Det vil gøre din ferie problemfri. Det
vil være værd at ekstra omkostninger for adgangen til andre steder såsom parker og fjerntliggende strande, hvoraf mange er
har skitserede veje ..
Et ophold på CieloMar er en af en venlig oplevelse .. Det er ikke et hotel eller bare en ferieudlejning ... det er en regnskov
nedsænkningseventyr for din familie og venner. Det er min ære at få dig til at dele min Næsten Eden og jeg garanterer, at du vil se fantastiske og usædvanlige væsener, mens du er her ..

Cielomar er selvforsørgende. Vores gæster hjælper os med at betale for at bevare det tilstødende primære og sekundære
skovområder. Uden din hjælp havde jeg ikke råd til at gøre dette.
Habitat forsvinder hurtigt, vi er forsæt med at prøve i vores magt at hjælpe med at bevare et hjem
til vores smukke og fascinerende jungle naboer.
Jeg takker hver enkelt af jer for deres bidrag til vores vilde dyrs og vores planetes fremtid.

Pura Vida!

Jungle Paradise With Animals everywhere

Though the house was described accurately as typical Caribbean style, we were not expecting the total openness with only screens in windows. However, we are so glad we stayed there and would do it again. So much wildlife to observe from the upper open “treehouse” deck. No issues with bugs in the home, great laundry and pool area. Great hiking right out the door. Host was an excellent communicator and property was well equipped and maintained. We will remember this stay for a lifetime. It is 100% true a 4WD vehicle is needed to access the property, especially if there has been a lot of rain.

Great location

Feels like you are in a tree house in the top of the hill. Close to so many restaurants, parks, beaches, and sites of interest. Definitely needed the four wheel drive to make it up the hill but totally doable. We were rarely home because we were so busy seeing all the sites! Great location.

Jungle Paradise

Absolutely amazing! We were looking for a place that would make us feel immersed in the Costa Rican lifestyle- and this place was everything we had hoped for and more! The pictures honestly don't even do it justice. It is right outside of town but it feels like your in your own world.The garden was massive and absolutely stunning. Solon, the gardener, was the sweetest and brought us freshly picked fruits and flowers every morning during the week. Our favorite place to hangout and watch the sunrise was the upstairs, where you could see the ocean trough the jungle with macaws, toucans, spider monkeys, howlers, and capuchins. I will say, if your not a fan of the outdoors, this isn't the place for you, as the house is open concept, which happened to b my favorite part :) 10/10 stay, I will absolutely be booking again for my next visit, which is hopefully sooner than later!

Tranquil Jungle Haven: A Family Escape into Nature's Embrace

We (two adults and a 4-year-old son) spent seven nights at this accommodation and had a wonderful time. Its natural surroundings and proximity to wildlife made it a true highlight for us. The Jungle Room was undoubtedly the centerpiece of our stay. Here, we not only enjoyed our meals but also had the opportunity to observe the fascinating birdlife and admire the breathtaking views during breakfast and dinner. The pool provided a refreshing escape, especially for our four-year-old son, who made full use of it. Despite sharing the garden and pool area with long-term tenants residing in small houses on the property, we had minimal interactions and were always warmly welcomed. The well-equipped kitchen met our needs, although one should expect the occasional ant finding its way into the house. We missed having a barbecue option. The laundry room was particularly convenient. When the electricity line for the water heater was broke, the prompt response from Property Manager India was impressive. Within a few hours, we had hot water again and felt well taken care of. Additionally, Gardener Solon was extremely accommodating and, despite the language barrier, took us on an exciting tour of the rainforest on the property. Overall, our stay here was fantastic, and we recommend this accommodation.

Jungle immersion

What a property! It has a funky house.. a little weird to start, but really cool all in all. The real star though for us was the "jungle". Not sure if it is rainforest, or jungle... but we call it jungle. The house is at the top of the mountain, with expansive views of the ocean and valleys of jungle. We were welcomed by 3 Military Macaws... green pirate parrots. They were on the upper observation deck, and they visited often. We saw a sloth just behind the house... he hung there for a full day. We saw flocks of parrots, several different types of toucans, fireflies, and heard howler monkeys everyday. It was such an experience that we didn't leave nearly as often as we were expecting. It is a very steep hill to the house, and I would concur with the advice of renting a 4 wheel drive vehicle. We never had issues as it was dry, but between loose stones and leaves, I could see it being sketchy when wet if you only had 2 wheel drive. Puerto Viejo was very chill. I would certainly return!

Jungle, wildlife, and an ocean view...what more can you ask for?!

We had a most enjoyable time during our week at Cielomar. Each morning we sipped tea and drank coffee up in the canopy room, while watching for toucans and other birds. Jeff the caretaker’s smart dog, Lily, led us down the road and path to the Playa Chiquita beach, making a point to stop and look back to be sure we were following her. We loved snorkeling in the warm waters of Playa Chiquita and saw many beautiful tropical fish, urchins, sea cucumbers, and an eel. On the road up to the house, there were two sloths in a large tree and we stopped a number of times to watch them and take photos. Howler monkeys woke us up each morning and we saw them in the trees near the sloth. And, White-faced Capuchin monkeys came thru the trees just outside the kitchen window. We really enjoyed Chico the cat’s visits at the house and the pool. All around the home we saw neat katydids, large grasshoppers, other interesting insects and various lizards. And, in the evenings we heard the bats and watched them diving through the air for their dinner. The Internet came and went, but we understand that is typical in Costa Rica. All in all we had a great time at Cielomar!!

This was exactly the immersive rainforest experience we were looking for! LOVED IT!

If you are the type of person who likes to see animals from behind cage fences and your idea of "roughing it" is a hotel without room service, then just move along, because this home is not for you. But for the rest of us out there who really want to EXPERIENCE new things when we go on a vacation, get ready for the howler monkeys and birds of the rainforest to tell you their story...up close and personal. This home was a dream come true for us, we wanted to expose our kids to the amazing wildlife in a tropical rainforest and to see and experience things we can't do back home. This house delivered! In our first 24 hours we saw two sloths just a short walk away from the house, a family pack of 6-8 howler monkeys took up residence just above the pool and we came away with many great closeup photos of them, their babies, and the rejected adult male they kicked out, who we named Clyde. :-) Our kids loved all the toucans and parakeets and other critters we saw, like an Agouti. We had to Google some of the animals we saw, like the Pygmy Possum, because they were so exotic we didn't even know what they were. And of course the frogs were awesome too. This home, the neighbors and housecare/maintenance guy, the beaches, Puerto Viejo, all of it was just amazing! We will never forget the laughs and the joy we experienced at this home. Now that we're back home in the states, we all miss our morning serenade from the howler monkeys. Loved it!

Loved our stay at Cielomar!

I highly recommend this property if you are traveling to this part of the country. I had never been to Costa Rica and selected Cielomar based on the pictures and reviews. After getting familiar with the area, I was even more pleased with the choice as the house is .5 mile up a hill and away from the more populated areas, but still a short walk down to the main road, beaches, restaurants, etc. It felt like a separate experience to be at the house, literally in the rainforest, with all the wildlife that can be experienced right outside. You can hear and see the ocean waves crashing in down below. We shuttled in from San Jose. I think it should be mentioned that the drive in, which is clocked by Interbus Caribe at about 4 hours took more like 6.5 hours due to traffic in between San Jose and Limon, but the shuttle back to San Jose was close to 4 so I guess that just depends. I was glad we stayed a full week because that minor hassle faded as we had plenty of time to get comfortable and explore the area once there. It was definitely worth it. We rented a small SUV in Puerto Viejo and that worked fine to see the surrounding area and get up and down the hill with supplies. The home itself is very comfortable and the views and sounds from all three floors are spectacular. I really liked being able to look out at the beautiful jungle view even while showering! The dryer was key to comfort as well as bathing suits/clothes will take forever to dry on their own. The pool really added to the experience as you can swim, float, get refreshed and watch the monkeys, toucans and macaws. Don't miss out on the primo local coffee and chocolate! I loved brewing the coffee with the ancient Costa Rican "sock method". I'm pretty sure that's not the official name! Joaquin was the caretaker, and he helped us up and down the hill with our luggage upon arrival and departure and checked in regularly to make sure all was bueno. Consistent with other reviews, the internet did not work at the house, but we did not care and even our young adult children said they appreciated the break. It really does add to the relaxation and you can easily get internet at any of the restaurants at the base of the hill. Speaking of the restaurants...incredibly delicious and diverse options in both directions. All in all LOVED it.

Rainforest hideaway

We had a good time here. The internet is definitely spotty but it seemed like the internet company was working on it down at the road so maybe it'll be better for the next guests. Lots of bugs and critters but you're in the jungle so it's to be expected. The upper room was great to spot monkeys and birds. The listing was a bit confusing in regard to the bedrooms... there's definitely only two, not three as written in part of the listing. 4x4 vehicle came in handy to get up the hill, but 2WD also made it up with a couple attempts so it's not impossible. We bought more forks for the house as there weren't enough for the 6 of us for one meal. Playa Chiquita at the bottom of the hill was beautiful and easy to access.

Immersion en nature

Il faut monter une bonne pente pour accéder à la maison mais ceci permet de vivre dans la canopee avec les oiseaux dont les toucans et les aras et même les singes hurleurs. Il y a plusieurs zones ouvertes dans la maison ce qui permet de sentir la proximité avec tous ces êtres vivants qui habitent la jungle et ce jour et nuit. On entend le roulement des vagues en bruit de fond. Nous n' avons louer aucun moyen de transport. A moins de 1 km se trouve la route principale . Un autobus fait la navette chaque heure de Limon à Manzanillo ( en passant par puerto viego et Cahuita ) à très peu de frais. Nous avons cuisiné plusieurs repas à la maison. Il y a une petite épicerie à moins de 1 km . On y retrouve des légumes et des fruit frais, le poisson est congelé mais frais. On cueille les limes sur la propriété ! Il y a plusieurs bons restaurants tout autour dans un rayon de 1 à 3 km. Ça se fait bien à pied, sinon beaucoup de taxis passent régulièrement. Attention : immersion en nature est aussi synonyme de présence de toutes sortes d' insectes , il faut les apprécier !

Absolutely Beautiful!

Our vacation at Cielomar was perfect! The grounds were beautifully kept - amazing tropical plants and trees. When we drove up, we were in awe. The house was at the top of a hill where every angle has a view! It has 3 stories, each with it's own balcony. The wildlife is endless! From our balconies and pool, we saw spider monkeys, sloths, toucans, macaws, agouti, frogs, and a hawk that hung around a lot. The house is very cabin like - don't expect to have matching towels and linens. If you want that, go stay at a crowded resort! The house has no A/C, but the fans were perfect! I even got cold at night. All appliances (stove, microwave, washer, dryer) are brand new - I'm pretty sure we were the first to use the oven! From the house, you can easily walk down the drive and to the beach. But if you prefer, there is road parking near the beach path. (We saw a family of monkeys go right over our heads while walking to the beach one afternoon!) The pool was perfect to jump into after the beach. The water was cool and crystal clear! We used the cabana and barbecue pit to grill a few nights. The location is close to wonderful, open air restaurants (We highly recommend Pura Gula! It was delicious!), groceries, and shops. Cielomar really is the perfect place! Tomas, the caretaker, is the BEST! He welcomed us even though it was late at night (Be prepared for a 4.5hr drive from the San Jose airport. It's worth the drive...TRUST ME!). He is super knowledgeable about the area. He talked to us about the wildlife, beaches, restaurants, and even took my son fishing one afternoon! Our stay was made even more enjoyable by having him around! We will be back!

WARNING!!! DON'T MUST READ.

The pictures of this place are great. However, WARNNG, home is in high warning disrepair. This home via Ex-Husband was amazed that is was rented out as it hadn't been in a long time nor anyone taking care of it! The home was filthy, floors covered in dust and dead bugs, beds unmade and mattresses really damp. Trash was in various places on the floors, as if critters were living in there. The ceilings leaked lots of water and has lots of white mold, black mold and grey mold. Took so many pictures and videos. I couldn't upload the pictures or videos as the attachments are too large!!! This poor place has been let go and not taken care of in any time at least 3 years. Dangerous area in and around the property. So much rain came through that the ceilings poured, not dripping, rain water. Washing machine is too rusted that it must be replaced and clean up the black mold. All I can say, is with proof of 2 Businesses, so, warning!!!! We had the lodge below look at it and they couldn't believe it! So, I am not the only one that can attest to the facts !

Not as advertised

This is a lovely house in the mountains. The view is amazing and a great location. The owner allowed us to arrive a day early without charge - which was super nice. Unfortunately the house is not well maintained and the listing is not accurate. There was no internet as advertised. We are both professionals and needed internet access. We would not have rented without internet. Also, the pool pump wasn't working - the pool was also a factor in us renting. The washer and dryer didn't work and looks like it hadn't in a long time. A lot of the screens were missing or ripped so we had a fair amount of bug issues. we contacted the owner about this and requested a partial refund but as of yet did not hear back.

Best wildlife viewing house!

We had a very relaxing stay there, and saw many creatures. Monkeys (lots), Mountain Cats which are of the Weasel or Martin family, Agouti's, Squirrel's, Lizards, as well as many birds (Toucans, Orependola, Blue green Macaws, as well as many smaller birds.) Overall we highly recommend this property, particularly for its exceptional wildlife viewing. exceptional wildlife

Amazing stay

Property was as advertised. The location worked really well for us as it was near to beaches, bars and restaurants, but very secluded on a beautiful piece of property. We saw so much wildlife including monkeys frogs toucans parrots and multitudes of colorful butterflies and hummingbirds. We loved the open air room and several members of our group loved sleeping in the open air. Joaquin , the property manager was amazing, spending the better part of the day repairing a pool light after we mentioned our daughters loved swimming at night. We also really appreciated the groundskeeper pointing out various trails and sights on the property. Luckily we visited the nearby Jaguar Rescue Center ( which we highly recommend), as we ended up calling them later in the week to come relocate a juvenile serpent that was contentedly sunning itself adjacent to the house. All I all a great adventure and the perfect home base.

Welcome to the Jungle!!

We loved our time here. When you wake up in the morning and walk to the top with your coffee, you realize you’re definitely not at home.. We swam in the pool daily from about 9-1 then headed to the beach after lunch till about 5.. This was our relaxing vacation and we did just that. What we saw.. Tons of Toucans, Parrots, 2 snakes, poison dart frogs, tiny red frog, lots of lizards, incredible array of spiders, insects, sloth and a pack of howler monkeys, a deer rat thing, and an exotic raccoon.. The beach is just at the bottom of the road. The pizza place to the right by Gypsea cafe (right across from beach) is yummy! It was a relaxing adventure and I’ll definitely come back one day..

Right as rain

We had the most wonderful time at Cielomar. We came as two families and found the space to be perfect for what we needed. The description provided by the owners is correct. It is a rustic, rain forest property that sits on a hill up a forest road. You definately need a four wheeled drive vehicle. The home is in good repair, but you must be okay with having bugs around, as that is the nature of the rainforest. Not a day went by without finding a new type of bug somewhere on the property. The beds are comfortable, as need be, and there is laundry on the premesis. The pool was used every single day, by all of us, and was much appreciated when the weather was warm. The caretaker came quite promptly when he was asked to, but we were not too concerned with the small issues and thus did not call him very often. The location is perfect! We went to six different beaches and all were within about 15 minutes of the house. We were able to get private surf lessons in Puerto Viejo for an exceptionally reasonable price. There were iguanas, monkeys, toucans and green macaws in the trees surrounding the house everyday. There is a rescue center and a chocolate plantation, less than a 5 minute drive in either direction of the property. Numerous restaurants and shops line the streets on the way to Puerto Viejo, but don't expect a McDonald's nor anything similar. The food was great! We were able to accomplish everything that we planned to do and more on our trip. We would not only recommend this home, but we would happily return if it wasn't such a long flight from Switzerland. Thank you again Cielomar. Family Berndt and Family MacCarthy

Nature Lovers Unite!

If you enjoy being off the beaten track, yet near local amenities such as restaurants, shopping, and beaches - and seek to experience a true nature immersion, this is a dream! We were enveloped in a true jungle atmosphere, while being just minutes away from the laid back culture of the surfer towns at the base of the hill. Our family spent a week here, enjoying local wildlife galore, fantastic ocean views, and a serene natural surround, complete with the amenities of home, and a bonus private pool. The staff took excellent care of us and the property. The unique design of the home with its 3rd story bird’s nest open-air lookout offered ample opportunity to share canopy-level bird watching. We witnessed the rare green macaws almost every evening at dusk. The serenade of the howler monkeys is not to be missed. Keep in mind, given the location and design of the home, you will also be greeted by a variety of friendly insects. We are nature people, so we welcomed their visits. Also, the evenings can be cool up in the breezy hillside. We enjoyed the opportunity to have a real brush with jungle flora and fauna in this fantastic location. It is a highlight of our journey!

World Class location but some maintenance lacking

The house is located in a beautiful area in the rain forest. A lot of exotic wild life at your door step. It is a short distance to town with excellent restaurants. World class beaches are also a short distance away. Unfortunately the maintenance seems to be lacking. When we first arrived the house was without any toilet paper in any of the bathrooms. Some room lights through out the house are burned out. At a minimum I expect at least toilet paper to be available and lights to work. The pool was dirty the care taker had to put in a large amount of chlorine to clear the water. The WIFI was not functional (I had been assured this was working by the owner) although a couple of days after we arrived a new WIFI router was installed. As you drive down the driveway there is a heap of bagged garbage that was sitting there the whole time. The roof has a leak above one of the skylights I could see where someone tried to put a plastic sheet over the skylight but it had partially blown off. Fortunately it was the dry season so it only rained lightly a couple of days. There are also a couple of houses being built close to the vacation rental. Some construction noise was heard. The folks building the homes cut through the driveway in back of house to get to their place. They are quite friendly people and I had no problem with their presence but some vacationers may object. We left behind some toilet paper and dish soap (also lacking) for the next visitor. Beautiful house and great location but needs better maintenance.
