This was such a lovely house in a jungle setting. Daily my kids hiked the 10-15minutes to the river to play. The caretakers' dogs Cookie and Oreo would follow us. At the river, there are lots of wildlife - small fish, cranes- we even spotted a family of howler monkeys.The caretakers are Irene and Adib and they live downstairs. Irene was also quick to answer questions, or ask around if she did not know answers. She checked in on us when the power went out (only for an hour one night). When we lost water, Adib came with another 5 gallon water tank. The host also sent help to try investigate the loss of water quick. (Apparently this can happen here and there - just unfortunate timing that we were getting ready to go out on an excursion!) Adib also helped my kids get coconuts from the property and harvest the coconut water and meat. The house itself is comfortable. There were fresh fruits and plantain snacks when we arrived. Adib also helped us buy mangoes from San Ignacio market. We might have only cooked one night since we walked to Carm's Restaurant. The only issue was that it took 1 month to get my security deposit. The host admits that it was her mistake and it has never happened before and was very apologetic. So while I highly recommend this place, just check your statement after to make sure everything come through. If not, then contact the host who will work with you.
