This condo has a lot going for it and it served our needs. It is in a great location--near Uvita, the Ballena Marina national park, Ojochal for great dining experiences as well as the Villa Leonor beach club right next door, which includes access to some of the most beautiful pristine beaches anywhere. The condo itself is comfortable but spare. The bed was comfortable; the spacious bathroom beautifully appointed, the air conditioning worked great on those hot, humid days. Sitting out on the veranda watching the birds or listening to the howler monkeys and feeling like you were in the jungle was very special. But we like to cook, which is why we opt for condos or houses over hotels, and our kitchen had the very bare minimum of cookware and utensils. The gas stovetop worked, but the oven did not, which was not insurmountable. We managed. As for a washer and dryer, that's in the little house next-door. It is certainly available for you to use, and they even provided laundry soap packets, which we appreciated but did not end up using. Oddly enough, there are plumbing hookups and a heavy duty electrical outlet in an alcove near the front door of the condo, so perhaps there was a W/D there at one time. That said, this condo was a great price, and Vacasa, the rental agency, was attentive and always got back to us quickly when we had questions.
