"The place was located in a small neighborhood that gave it a real Costa Rican feel. It was very spacious, modern & clean. It was a smart home equipped with all the essentials. Sergio was an awesome host that made our stay very pleasant. I would definitely stay here again!"
"Nice property and nice apartment but with a few issues...
Internet painfully slow. Water pressure very low. Dryer didn't work. Bath towels smelled like they stayed in the washing machine too long before being dried. Closets were filled with paint cans and maintenance equipment.
Spoke with the manager about the issues who seemed indifferent. "
"Clean condo with beautiful surroundings. The pool location is great as well. Fully stocked kitchen. Bathroom towels could be updated. The couch was uncomfortable, but we didn’t stay indoors often. Beach is super close as well."
"For the price , it was a great location and spacious. Only complaints I have is no elevator, especially with a bunch of luggage and being in the third floor , going up and down with elderly people wasn’t fun for a whole week . Our living room A/C was nice and cool , but unfortunately the rooms A/C 2/3 didn’t work , so that wasn’t fun at night . Many pool options, and gated community, so that was nice and convenient."

Nice gated place. Two apartments below, two above. We didn’t hear our neighbors, which was nice. Really close to the beach but you need to follow forest paths to get there faster. Lots of monkeys and iguanas around. Playa Hermosa is a much quieter beach town than many others, and we like it that way. The bigger hotel Villa de Sueno on the corner has good (though overpriced) food and music several nights a week.
