Stayed at this property for a week for our first time in Costa Rica. The check-in process was smooth. The location is stellar, on top of a steep hill, with a view of the pacific ocean. The pool was ready to go and maintenance free. There is a grocery store (Super Sol) a short walk away, and a restaurant 'El Patio' right next to it. Not that there were any security concerns, but the gate locks up well and the perimeter is walled. There is a resident lizard on site, a great big silent guy who likes to sun on the patio by the pool. I'm sure he eats the bugs. The bunkhouse has its own shower and kichenette and our teens loved it. Tip: buy water at the Super Sol when you come in. I loved the 3 Litre sized pop bottles they had. The proprietors were awesome with everything, and helped us arrange activities in the region. You are a 2 hour drive from San Jose, along good highways. You are 20 minutes out from Jaco, 5 from Del Toro, and 15 from the Town Center. The property management is responsive and fixed all our problems asap. The loft is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee...
