Chalets in Midden-Amerika

'La estancia fue muy agradable, rodeado de la naturaleza, es una muy buena opción para descanzar. Y el personal muy atento y amable.'

'The location is close to notable eateries and waterfalls. It was clean and as described in the listing. Keep in mind that there is no air conditioning. It was hot in April, so I'm grateful the host supplied fans. There isn't enough hot water for a shower; the hot water runs out after a minute or two.'

'Great location, lot of space. Great host, very helpful in getting us checked in and quick to respond to our needs. I just wished there were places to hang towels in the bathrooms and some reading light near the beds.'

'It was amazing'

'Federico was the perfect host. The accommodations was very nice and clean and spa like.The surrounding area was amazing. Breakfast and dinner was available and was very good. Staff were nice and very helpful. Close to Tarcoles Bridge and Carrara National Park. Great opportunity to see birds and monkeys.I would highly recommend. Also the host went above and beyond to assist. I would definitely go back.'

'If you are looking for a remote place to get away for a bit this is the place. Very basic, but all you need. Owners are some of the nicest people you will ever meet!'

'We stayed for eight days and immensely enjoyed the experience. We were glad to have a rental car, but you could walk to town if you wanted to, and we did several times. There are some good tourist businesses within a reasonable walk (Sloth trail, Coffee&Chocolate Tour, Pickleball court, Smokehouse restaurant, 2 other restaurants) and we used them all. Great birdwatching from the deck over breakfast. Nice air conditioning and on-site laundry made for a very comfortable time.'

'This house was perfect for our family of 5 as a base to explore the La Fortuna/Arenal region. Everything was great, especially the incredible panoramic views and the lush garden with all types of tropical flowers and the kids loved the plunge pool. We didn't bother cooking at night so it was nice that there were a few close by restaurants on the street. Highly recommend La Ventanita for good prices, nice ambiance and delicious milkshakes. Only way the house could be improved would be a few more...

'A great experience, very different and close to Barra del Navidad. Very good beds and lovely veranda, great living quarters downstairs. The noise from the road can be a bit annoying at night. But the setting makes up for it. Lovely pool as well.'

'It's a perfect location if you like nature. Nice people and place.'

'Itzel was a fantastic hostess....she was very prompt at attending to any requests we had and is a very fun lady to chat with. The house was a very cool experience....very clean and had everything we needed. The only downside was having to go downstairs from the loft during the night to use the bathroom. Everything else was amazing!'

'Lovely cabana in the middle of a banana plantation. A 30 minute (2 km) walk into Barra de Navidad or a 100 peso taxi to Melaque. Either has good restaurants and pubs. Dennis was very accommodating'

'This house is perfect. Stunning, well-maintained gardens, private dock, comfortable beds. Couldn’t ask for anything better!!'

'We loved our stay Pink House. The location is about 10-15minutes walk to town with young children, so ideal for anyone who enjoys peace and quiet but doesn't want to be reliant on transport to get groceries or experience the local community and culture. The beach/dock area were great for young children who like to be active and outside, and the views over the lake at all times of day were amazing. Our boys all loved the kayak and spent hours on the lake, although it would have been better to...

'We love this house and location - it’s about an eight minute drive to get to downtown, which is close enough when you need some morning coffee, but far enough to be away from the fray of everything. The cottage was simple, but absolutely perfect for our needs. Three bedrooms with their own AC made for very comfortable evenings. The main area but no AC and did get warm, but spent very little time there. Anyway, time at the house we spent outside in the hammocks, pool, or rocking chairs, enjoying...
