We are really very flexible, but our vacation could easily have been ruined! We made reservations 3 weeks before our stay but we were not allowed to cancel when friends ended up being in another town and offered to share their place. I was OK with that (45 day policy) even though we missed out on a great & fun opportunity. However, when we arrived, we were casually told that because another guest had decided to stay, we would be placed in the "smaller bungalow" instead of the larger one that we had reserved for our first 3 of 5 nights-so much for those reservations. We were lead to a sweltering studio room above the garage. A noisy, rasping air conditioner, with controls removed! had not been turned on even though I called long before our arrival - so we laid naked on the PLASTIC covered mattress - in the TROPICS! All sounds of the ocean obliterated just waiting for some relief. Makes it like sleeping wrapped in a shower curtain! There is only one rocking chair in the room, so I guess someone has to sit on the kiddie pool of a mattress - or sit at the little bar (pictured) to relax and read a book. My daughter was graciously offered to have a mattress put on the floor, but there was already no room to turn around without bumping into each other. THERE IS NO BALCONY or any outdoor seating for either place (unless that would be the steps leading up to the room?). The jungle view is the parking lot with beautiful trees, but we could not see that from our small windows because we had to stay naked in order to breath. I have given a very accurate portrayal of the place. It is new, small and clean (except for the toothpaste splattered bathroom sink that was overlooked). It would be an okay alternative for one person who wants to spend all their time across the road at the beach - which is magnificent and private, but not safe for swimming. Be prepared, as for almost everywhere in CR, for bumpy long dirt road access. Grocery shopping is a half hour away in Quepos - bring a cooler! There are NO supplies - soap, spices, paper towels - so pick up everything you might possibly need. Really, for the same cost you can have a view and space and outdoor seating. Our vacation "could have been ruined" but I ended up leaving in tears at dawn the next morning. For a few dollars more we found our paradise! I only gave 3 stars instead of 2, because Roberta was gracious about us leaving - though I say this without having checked my credit card statement.
