Very good

Mal País unlike Santa Teresa is a quiet little community, this home is tucked behind a large building so obscured from view; beautiful large front deck and yard, convenient outdoor shower, walking distance to multiple beaches, fantastic restaurant and cafe shop across the street. 100% awesome!

Thank you, Michele! I was worried about your arriving at night through the jungle roads but I’m relieved you got there safely and had a pleasant stay. You’re welcome any time! Favtastic, courteous guests who left everything very tidy!

Most will like it if you have a car to go to Santa Teresa
I think most people would really like this place but I didn't like it because it was too modern and I felt like I was in an apartment or motel room in the U.S. I was by myself so the other negative is that there is no town nearby to meet people. Mal Pais is not a town. It consists of one tiny grocery store and one restaurant named Mary's. Mary's is right across the dirt road and is very nice with great food and drink and is upscale but homey.
The nearest town is Santa Teresa and is about 1.25 miles away. So having a car would be good. Or, one can take a taxi for $6 U.S. one way which is what I did almost every day. Santa Teresa is also where you will go to the beach because there is no beach for swimming by this rental. There is a beach 5 minutes walking distance but it is all rock and not swimmable.

We appreciate constructive feedback and it's unfortunate when someone doesn't enjoy their stay to their highest satisfaction. That being said, we communicated with Tom copiously before, during and after his stay. Upon arrival, he indicated that he felt it was too far to walk to the crossroads so we offered to pay for a bike rental for the remaining 10 days of his stay, which he turned down. Much of his complaints in the review could have been circumnavigated with research as a first-time traveler to the area (specifically, Mal Pais is a "quiet, sleepy" little fishing village as described in the listing and he indicated that the town itself was too expensive for dining out) . We will incorporate some of this feedback into some updates to the property to be more 'costa rica' like--such as decor and paint; however, there was no deception neither in the pictures as a "European-chic aesthetic container-home" nor the representation of local area. Also, the beach is a swimming beach and has a public entrance for that purpose, but it does admittedly have some large craggy rocks running up the shoreline (often utilized for tidal pools during low tide). Mal Pais--or bad country or bad lands in local translation--is a hidden gem for some but I got the impression Tom would've liked the more populated and manicured beaches readily available elsewhere in CR.
Our stay at “our little place “ in Mal Pais was wonderful beyond our expectations. Everything was immaculately clean, fresh and welcoming. The place was exactly as presented in the photos. Our Host, Soraya, was so kind, very quick to respond when we needed some help. I highly recommend this property for a single person or couple. Also, having your own rental car, or Quad/Motor bike makes getting around much easier. The sunsets off the quiet Playa del Mal Pais are just as gorgeous as any where else on the Nicoya Peninsula! Huge thanks to Soraya, Lyla, and Angel Bales!! Pura Vida!
