Couldn't be happier with our decision to stay here. Wonderful condo, well appointed, with stunning views of the Pacific. Very large balcony facing the ocean, and another on the opposite side facing the hills. All the amenities were ample (towels, dishes, coolers, body-boards). Nice to have toaster, coffee maker, and washer and dryer available at any time. Though you shouldn't be in the condo a lot, WIFI was terrific. Central air provided comfort at night.
Location is great with plenty of options close by in either direction. Tons of dining options within ten minutes. Many local grocery stores (not "American" in size, but enough options to stay happy). Property is isolated enough at the top of a hill that you would rarely hear a car/four-wheeler/motorbike, unless you are sitting on the balcony facing the hills. If you want to venture to Tamarindo (which we found to be somewhat of a waste) it's less than 45 minutes away.
While you may be able to walk to the beach (Brasilito), we took the car (less than five minute drive down the hill). Multiple great beach options within 10m (Conchal, Flamingo Beach) and Playa Grande (big waves) is about 20m away. If the beach isn't your thing, there are two on-property pools to choose from.
Parking is covered, "below" the building. Access to the fourth floor property is available via elevator or stairs. The only potential concern some may have would be security. I believe the listing stated security on site, and while there is a security booth, we never saw a guard during our six day stay. That being said, we NEVER felt unsafe, the property is in a great area, with no evidence to be concerned for personal safety. But if you're expecting a gated property, this isn't it.
We loved our time here (2nd visit to CR), and we will absolutely rent this condo (or another in the property) again. Not sure how anyone could be disappointed with their decision to rent this unit.
