"Getting to the property was a little confusing as a foreigner. Eventually I found it & everything was good. Communication with the host was good. Any issues that occurred I was able to inform the host & it was handled promptly. I understand it being in the jungle & or nature habitat so there was naturally bugs & pests, scared me a little but it was fine. I really enjoyed the home it was beautiful!"

10/10 Excellent
"We had an amazing week staying here in Costa Rica! The location was ideal, making it easy to visit both Manuel Antonio and Corcovado National Parks.Mark was an exceptional host, checking in regularly to make sure everything was going well and offering great recommendations for things to do in the area. We booked two excursions with his recommended guide, David, and both were incredible experiences.The Uvita farmers market was a fantastic place to stock up on fresh local produce, and Mark's restaurant recommendations were spot on, especially Citrus, which was outstanding.Two people in our group had health concerns, so having air conditioning in the bedrooms made a huge difference in our comfort. The infinity pool was another highlight and the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring.We would highly recommend staying here and would absolutely love to return for another visit!"

10/10 Excellent
"I enjoyed my stay at Bali Bali Bueno so much last December that I had to come and stay again in June. The house is beautiful and comfortable but the outdoor space is my favorite part. It's very private and peaceful and you can enjoy the sights and sounds of nature all day and night. The owners have done an amazing job with the decor and ambiance. This visit was a much needed peaceful break from my busy life in the States and I rarely left the house at all this time, except to grab groceries. There are a couple small mini grocery stores just a few minutes drive from the house, or you can drive 20 min to Uvita which has a large supermarket. There are also a few great restaurants within 5-10 min drive from the house as well."
