"Lovely property with responsive hosts. The bungalow properties are uniquely whimsical and private. Perfect location outside of the hustle & bustle of Dominical, but a 20 minute drive away. Grocer & restaurants even closer. No A/C but decent fans available. It’s cooler in the evenings “up the hill” from Dominical. "

Family Friendly Waterfall Home with pool & Wi-Fi / 7p

Family Friendly Waterfall Home with pool & Wi-Fi / 7p

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful time here. Beds were comfy and air worked well in two rooms, but not the small one. We had our kids sleep in a room together because of this, but they are young so it was fine. Property care taker and host were very responsive when we couldnt figure out the stove. I loved having coffee on the balcony in the morning. Pool was clean. Had a great time playing in the river out back and even caught some very large prawns to add to our breakfast. Saw many birds, geckos, and an agoutis, which was cool. On our last morning we saw capuchins and most mornings could hear howlers. We also couldnt figure out the TVs, but really didnt phase us as we almost never watch TV while vacationing. Wifi worked great. Power went out once, but not unusual in Costa Rica and we were gone for most of the time, returning and without for maybe 15 minutes. Saw the lineman. Would definitely stay here again. It was beautiful and peaceful (and i felt like a disney princess in a fairytale castle, just with kids!) "
