Pros:

Prachtige locatie! Weg van de drukte, heerlijk zwembad en ligbedden. Als je komt voor rust dan moet je hier zijn. Eigenaresse maakt (tegen betaling) heerlijke paella. Goede keuken in de cabin. Wij hadden een 5 persoons cabin, erg ruim en fijne douche. Je hebt wel een auto nodig op deze locatie om naar het dorpje te gaan.

Het perfect onderhouden en heel erg schone onderkomen, de lieve eigenaresse Maite, het zwembad, de brulapen en vogels, de reuzenpad die 's avonds een rondje deed.

Helemaal niks.

Le paradis se trouve chez Maite
Pros:

L'accueil de Maite , la quiétude de l’endroit dans la nature et la jolie décoration des lieux. La piscine et l’air climatisé dans l’appartement qui est un atout. L’odeur des serviettes , tout sent le propre!
Un coin de paradis!

Cons:

Les fourmis dans l’appartement, mais nous sommes dans la nature au Costa Rica alors on s’adapte.Les oreillers sont un peu fatigué mais vu la beauté des lieux , on ne s’y attarde pas .

Simply an amazing accommodation that is rare to find at this price point.
Pros:

What a wonderful place! The owners have really taken a lot of pride in the property with attention to details (like usb chargers built into the night tables) and creating a relaxing retreat with natural surroundings. Great pool with a large toad that visits in the evening... :) The AC works great and the layout of our 2 BR cabin worked well with a BR on either end and kitchen in the middle. Would definitely return to this place.

Cons:

BRs are open to the kitchen area so not private without hanging a sheet over the BR openings but this was not an issue for us. May be for others.

A wonderful experience in Samara!
Pros:

Our stay was one of our favorites in Costa Rica. The location is excellent, private yet close to the beach, a small grocery, fruit stand and sodas. What made the stay extra special was Maite’s attention to detail and welcome. A highlight was the breakfast that was offered for a small additional fee and is brought directly to your cabin, it was fantastic. Also, laundry service is available and was appreciated as we were in the middle of our trip. Wonderful for families. Relaxing!

Pros:

Fijn huisje met heerlijk warm(!) zwembad.
Fantastisch ontbijt, echt heel lekker.
Gemakkelijke communicatie via whatsapp.
Afgesloten tuin, met aapjes.
Goede wifi.

Cons:

Wat kleine bedden, wel met klamboe !
Om naar strand/centrum te gaan heb je wel auto of ander vervoermiddel nodig (maar dat weet je als je op de locatie let bij het boeken).
