AMAZING!!!! Dream come true!

My closest friends and family stayed at this GORGEOUS property for the night of my wedding and a few days after and it was truly a dream come true. The property is breathtaking, clean, and spacious. Bret was a pleasure to work with. He communicated wonderfully and also set things up for me with ease like a brunch for my wedding morning and grocery delivery. There was also helpful staff if needed! 11/10 recommend and will 100 percent be coming back to stay here again. It will be forever a part of my heart and my husband and I’s love story! THANK YOU!!!

Can't beat this view!

We loved our stay at this property as it was plenty of room for our family of 13! The pool was a hit with our kds and the view was amazing. The property manager was very accommodating and helpful to our family and tended to any needs we had. The location was perfect - a short drive to Playa del Coco and an even shorter drive to Playa del Hermosa. We highly recommend this property!

Overall, we had an incredible stay. Bret was a fantastic host and Maria took great care of us at the house. Photos do not do the house justice. It is a beautiful setting, plenty of space for the group to spread out for alone time or to spend time together. Aircon in the rooms were great. Fully stocked, Beautiful views. I couldn't recommend this place enough.

Beautiful property

We absolutely loved our stay at the Sun Monkey property. Maria and Macho really make the experience wonderful. We had Maria cook us a dinner (something I would highly recommend. Her food is delicious) and Macho brought in a traditional Costa Rican guitarist to serenade us while we ate. They were also very helpful in finding excursions and renting equipment to play on the beach. Loved every minute of our stay here.

Happy with the Sun Monkey

Delightful Family Vacation

We were a family of 17, ages 9 - 75. There was plenty of room for everyone. The pool and outdoor seating areas were perfect. The location was good. Walkable to the beach - 20 minutes - (uphill in the sun on the way back was tough for some). The caretaker responded to queries promptly and satisfactorily. The views were great, and the property overall was outstanding. Highly recommend.
