The positives first for sure, because there are some. GREAT LOCATION! It was Also quiet, had decent AC, and nice grounds with a pool. Remember it’s a studio, so the refrigerator hums and buzzes next to your head all night, As does the microwave as the power goes off every now and then and it chirps until you set the clock. The front door doesn’t seal,so noise and bugs are abound. This place just needs some TLC-clogged drains, broken shower heads, poorly functioning toilets (I’ve traveled in third world countries quite a bit so I know what normal is) dirty blankets and a sheet with blood on it when we got there. The property manager tried to tell the health care provider that it was make-up and not blood on the sheets. Nope, sorry. Blood on sheets sadly is pretty much my zone of expertise. Just a sheet on the bed when we arrived so pulled a light blanket off the shelf, opened it into the bed and sand went everywhere. Was probably used as a beach blanket and was just folded up and put away, hidden from the housekeepers. Property manager tried to tell us it was sand from our feet. As a 40 year surfer, I’d say sand on my feet is my subspecialty, and sandy feet in the bed for me is a major no no. Got the “you get what you paid for” vibe from him several times and was quoted that the rooms across the street were several thousand/night and we paid $X. That was demeaning, was relayed to us the day we arrived, and hung for a few days. LOVE Nosara and the vibe otherwise.
