Family holiday
We have stayed here in the past and enjoyed these accommodations. We had a few issues with the fridge leaking but the property manager solved them efficiently. We all enjoyed the pool as it was hot and humid making the pool very welcome. Also a short walk to a waterfall and natural pool for cooling off. A few of the small appliances are in need of updating but again no complaints.

Dream Vacation
We loved our time at Portasal Living. The villa was amazing, with lots of space and the pool was amazing for a dip every day.. From seeing toucans and parrots right before us to the amazing dinner by our private chef Desiree, it was such a great time. Heriberto was great in getting our tour and trip tickets for all the sights. They even greeted us with a Bottle of wine for our anniversary. They also stocked the fridge with cold beer for us to have when we arrived. We are already talking about a return trip!!!

Peaceful is the word that comes to mind. Property is well designed, well maintained and property managers were very communicative with any questions we had. Wifi was great. Definitely need a 4x4 to get to location. It’s remote and isolated so, just be aware. Many grocery stores in the area to stock up pantry. 50 bird species identités during our stay. Butterflies a plenty. Great access (by vehicle ) to beaches with macaws, sloths. Highly recommend for those looking to just get away

The location was inaccurate it takes close to 5 hours to there from San Jose the people drive real slow so it takes a lot longer than three hours. The house and host r wonderful but it is a long way away from San Jose and u don’t just need a 4 wheel drive u need a high profile 4 wheel. If u like nature and quit which we do it is great will go back but now no what to expect.

Dear Phyllys,
Thank you for sharing your experience
Our property is located about 3 hours driving from San José, sometimes can be a little more depending of the route you take or inconveniences on the trip, but should no be more than 3,5 hours
We´re agreeing that is necessary a 4x4 car to access to the property, however, the road is in good condition and with any 4WD car you should not have any problems
The house is surrounded by the rainforest, there are many trails to explore and access to a clear river water with swimming holes and a waterfall, the beach is only 10 minutes driving. Perfect place to relax and have an unforgettable vacation.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE
Just WOW! The property and the management team are amazing. If you are looking for a "jungle" getaway then look no further. The house is immaculate and perfectly secluded near an amazing waterfall for swimming. We loved the pool and the outdoor seating areas to enjoy our daily encounter with all of the birds (especially the toucans). All of the amenities are wonderful and the team managing everything are so easy to communicate with. They were available anytime we needed them. We would all stay at Casa Monos Locos again on our next trip to Costa Rica.

Casa Mono Locos BLISS
Casa de Mono Locos was easily the most relaxing place I have ever vacationed. The serenity tucked between the sounds of the rainforest animals communicating, and trees rustling with showers of intermittent rain drops, was blissful. The infinity pool drops off into green lush forest with an opening just wide enough for a sunrise/sunset view. Sitting on the wrap-around deck with a cup of coffee and a book was honestly one of the highlights of my trip! I can't describe the peace-of-mind and clarity-of-heart I recieved from my trip to Casa de Mono Locos. I am so thankful to have experienced this private oasis that is just minutes away from the adventures of Manuel Antonio, Dominical and Quepos! Book your trip here... YESTERDAY! Don't wait. It's beyond worth it.

Away from it all in the Central Pacific
This was our first trip to Costs Rica and had just 5 days to experience as much as we could. Staying with Portalosol Living in Portalon allowed us the experience of being nestled away from tourists surrounded by lush rainforest. The house is as it’s described-all the mechanicals and appliances worked well. It was nice to have our own space to cook a bit. An advantage for our 2 families who enjoy being able to have a refrigerator stocked with favorites. Because it was a first trip of just 5 days, at times I might have wanted to be closer to Quepos where our adventures generally left from. Or if the long dirt road were paved that might have helped. So being in an area that is remote had its challenges, but the privacy afforded us by the house and beautiful property was a reasonable trade-off compromise.

Dream trip of a lifetime
I don't think words can do justice to this picturesque property in the rainforest. Not even photographs can capture the peaceful, tropical paradise in the treetops. The house is both elegant and practical. My mother and I spent 7 days at this beautiful retreat and swam every day in the private pool...even in the rain. Our favorite nearby town was Dominical, although The Montapala beach was very nice and just a 10 minute drive. Surprisingly, we didn't see any monkeys or tropical birds while at the house, (we heard birds) but we were able to go to Manuel Antonio, 40 minutes away and see them. If you are afraid of insects and lizards, this house isn't for you....but what do you expect in the Rainforest? The nearby waterfall and river were nothing short of breathtaking, and we always felt safe at Portasol. I will remember this adventure forever and always, and am so grateful for the opportunity!

Jungle paradise!
Amazing place to stay. This location was the highlight of our trip. We stayed here for eight nights with two families. Four adults and four kids (ages 8-13) fit comfortably. Guillermo and Alex, the care takers were very helpful and arranged a last minute rental car during the high peak season. They also arranged our trips such as rafting, canopy tours etc..The house felt very "Costa Rican" in comparison to the other places we stayed. The living room and dining room are outdoors and the bugs were never a problem even at night with the outdoor lights on. We did not even use bug spray. There is an amazing waterfall on the property as well that we went swimming in. Make sure you bring groceries on your way to the house! Loved the gated area so much that we considered buying. You will need four wheel drive to access the property, but that is almost a requirement if you are doing any adventuring in to the wilderness in Costa Rica.

Great jungle house!!
Overall we absolutely loved this home and the jungle experience it provided. The location was ideal for us as we wanted to be close to nature and in a smaller more local setting. (If you’re using Waze to locate the house you can enter “Calle Portalón” which is the road that dead ends at the neighborhood gate.) The AC and ice maker were luxuries that we appreciated. Heriberto was very attentive to our needs and gave us many recommendations for nearby activities. We always felt extremely safe in this home.
We were there at the end of June (rainy season) and typically the rain rolled in by 2-3pm and continued into the night. As long as you are up and out early then the rain is no big deal. There were bugs but we used the bug zappers and fan during movie nights to help. We considered the “visitors” part of the adventure of this house and had a lot of fun watching the geckos, seeing the giant Cane toad (DO NOT TOUCH!), toucans and iguana during our stay.
It is important to note that ALL family shared spaces are open air (not enclosed and not air conditioned). We stayed 7 nights and were pleased to find out that our stay came with two cleanings, which was wonderful. The rooms are NOT connected so I would NOT recommend this house for people with small children. We have 3 teenagers so it was fine.
Overall, our stay was AMAZING and this house played a huge role in making it magical!!

Very private with great pool and sunny terrace
The house is nice, located in the rainforest with beautiful sunsets. Everything was extremely clean, the cleaning lady is top! We were enjoying the pool and sunbathing at the terrace which is nice sunny. All parts of the house and garden are very private, you never see the neighbors. There is beautiful natural pool for swimming in the river and picnic area just next to the house. Communication with the property management was outstanding, they were always attentive and helpful. We had problems with electricity shortages (most of the times problem outside of the Portasol area), which was creating struggles for our remote work due to lost internet connection. Just another day we received a backup generator which was really amazing and appreciated. Unfortunately, we had bad luck with cicada invasion, they overpopulated just around the house and there was nothing we could do about it. The cicadas created noise of 82 decibels nonstop from 8:30am till 6pm. Then in the night we couldn't sit in the open living/dining area because they were flying around like crazy and bumping into us. I would ask in advance what is the current situation because it happens only during mating period just few weeks per year. Other than that, we had good time with my husband,

Dear Nicole we really appreciated your visit, Casa Monos Locos, as you mentioned, has very private surroundings, away from other houses which assures the guests good private time with family and friends, spacious outdoor areas with a beautiful pool and large. The guests of Casa Monos Locos also have the privilege of being a few steps from the private park and waterfall “La Cazuela”, which has beautiful green areas and awesome places to swim on the river. We also appreciate that you mentioned one of our most important goals that is to give you the best stay possible, offering the best cleaning service included in the rate and also a concierge service to help you in all the ways possible and always attentive with our guests, we are very proud of our Portasol Team. Your visit was during the cicada’s season, which happens for a couple weeks once a year, unfortunately we have no control over it, and this year they were extremely loud, we try to give the best service and help possible to overcome the season. We really hope you can have the opportunity to visit Portasol in the future, out of the cicada season.

Lush tropical perch in the rainforrest canopy!
This was our first visit to Costa Rica, and we could not have gotten a better first impression of this amazing country upon arriving in PORTASOL. This home is even MORE amazing than the pictures can capture. The feel of a canopy treehouse has to be experienced, and that is really what this is! We were a family of 7, so the bunk room with the 4 kids was great, and then the other downstairs queen went to Mama, and my husband and I had the upstairs master. The open air living room and dining room was great. The regular evening storms were so refreshing sitting on the porches. The sounds of the jungle surround you and interesting flora flow from the grounds into the natural growth. We had a tree frog visit nightly near the pool, as well as a giant toad of some sort. The nearby river is magical. Our first morning we saw a blue morph floating by as we scambled in the riverbed for a few hours as well as a Jesus lizard! The staff is so helpful and friendly. You MUST have a 4wd car for this off road approach to the home. The gravel road is steep, but we never had any issue at all. We made the ultimate great decision to hire a chef for several nights during our stay, which made the vacation extra special. The management arranged it all, and we had a menu planned for each night that exceeded my expectations! They also helped organize all of our excursions and each day felt more amazing than the one before! I cannot wait to return. This is a special place in a special country!

I know it sounds crazy but everytime I return I am taken by the view and the feel and sounds of the jungle!
I looked for over 4 years before finding the gem called Portasol, and when I first arrived at the lot it was instant.

Amazing property!
This is an amazing place! It’s quiet, and beautiful and has everything you need to spend time soaking in nature. We saw so many animals here. We saw an anteater coming home one night, and lots of frogs and lizards. The river and waterfall is within very close walking distance & you should definitely plan to swim there—it’s breathtaking! The staff was so helpful & easy to reach. We appreciated the gated security, too. We would definitely stay here again!

Very nice if u know what you’re getting into
The place is very cool in a really interesting place. Everyone told us the road in would be a problem but it wasn’t and we didn’t have a 4x4. Security is very nice and helpful. The house is nice and done well. We are 9 people and it is meant to fit us but almost everyone is in two bedrooms with one one bathroom between them. That was a bit of a struggle as well. The pool is cool and has a cool view but we went during rainy season and it was too cold for us. I’d def think hard before going during rainy season though. Everything is outdoors. Each bedroom and the kitchen are indoors but to get from one place to the other you have to go outdoors. The seating and eating area is also outdoors. It’s covered from the rain but the wildlife is very intense. There are bats flying around and massive lizards and frogs and grasshoppers and insects. So if you’re really good with bugs etc, go for it. If that makes your kids nervous, it can be stressful. The waterfall nearby is so cool but unfortunately we kept getting poured on so we didn’t get to enjoy it. If u go during the rainy season, go out early all will be fine. I’m summary, if u love the outdoors, got for it. If u want some space between you and the outdoors, look elsewhere.

Qué hace que este alojamiento sea especial
It is a very pleasant house, with all the necessities of the modern live, but away from it, nested in the magical tropical forest. It has 3 bedrooms (All of them with Air Conditioning) with ceiling fans, satellite tv, an infinity pool surrounded by an amazing rainforest. The house is only 5 minutes walking distance from the Portasol Living famous park, La Cazuela, awesome waterfall ending on crystal clear river pools where you can actually swim and jump off. There are many activities in the area: zip linning in Quepos, Rafting class 3 on the Savegre River, Surf Lessons in Dominical, Stand Up Paddle baord in the mangrove, ATV tours, waterfalls or just take a volleyball ball and go enjoy the beach. We are sure you will not get bored
