A Private Jungle Retreat in Samara
We stayed at Casa Molleo from Jan 3-Feb 2, 2023 - five adults (my wife, mother in law, both of my parents, and myself).
The home is absolutely gorgeous, clean and modern in and out (but still charming and fitting for its environment). Spacious rooms and a nice home-y feel. Perfect for a family, or group our size. Everybody had their own space, but the home is laid out in a way that makes spending time together very easy and natural, as it all kind of comes to a huge common area, and a nice big outdoor porch.
It is well equipped, and had all the basic kitchen and laundry essentials needed for a longterm stay, much better equipped over some other places we've stayed at similar budget levels.
The wi-fi is strong and we had no issue working remotely for the most part. The power can sometimes drop, usually just for a moment, but whenever it does, you lose internet. Thankfully it never happened while we were presenting to a client.
We saw monkeys, iguanas, birds and all kinds of critters right in our back yard every day. Like living in a zoo.
It is located only 7 minute drive from town, however you will want a 4x4 (as you'll want to have for the rest of your explorations in CR, anyway). One note is that you will rely on your vehicle to go anywhere. It is tucked away, which is what we liked about it, but worth noting that you can't just walk into town.
Communication with Claire, Tess and Fabrisio was always quick, helpful, and super friendly. You'll love your stay!
