We could not have asked for a better place to stay then at the "Brisa del Pacifico" for our vacation to the Nicoya Peninsula in late March / early April of this year. The house was well maintained and very comfortable in a private eco community that is surrounded by nature at its best, and with the stunning views from the beautiful salt water pool, you will truly think you are in "Heaven"!, Many mornings were just spent at the pool area taking in the view and the abundant bird wildlife, saying, "it doesn't get any better than this" !
What really sold us to come here however, were the owners, Siobhan and Hugues. From the very outset of our inquiry to the property, they went out of their way to answer our numerous e mails...I can tell you, you won't go wrong dealing with theses wonderful people and the info they sent us covered everything we needed to know about the rental and the area in general. I have leased a number of times before using Home Away, and can tell you, there is no one more thorough then these owners in covering your concerns and needs. Absolutely, the best!
As far as activities, we hardly ever stayed put, visiting the 'Curu Wildlife reserve" for a day of hiking and a great meal next to the visitor shop. You will need reservations for a meal, but we just asked when we finished our first hike and they took us in. Also, took the long hike to the beach at the Cabo Blanco Nature reserve. A 4 hour round trip, but a must, for the breath taking views of the beach and the nature of the park... A trip out to the Isle of Tortuga by boat is also a must. Arrange through Eco tours in Montezuma, as Gini the property manager said they were the best and they were!. Also consider going to the Cabo Blanco Butterfly farm. A little off the path in Cabuya, but definitely worth it. You can then stop for a smoothie or a great meal at the Panaderia restaurant on your way back to Cabuya... We stopped there 3 times, as it was so relaxing and enjoyable.
Bottom line, there is just so much to do and see in the Nicoya area, that there is no question, you will love it here! You will definitely be making the right choice with this property and its wonderful owners!!!
We had a blast!!!
