"The dinner was delicious!"

"Awesome place the staff after a few days started to feel like family. The views that we had there were excellent. The food was very good, the pool and the villas are top notch. Extremely clean and they maintained our rooms every time we left it. The staff were incredible supporting with all our activities we did and the planning our breakfast in the morning before our morning expeditions. Everyone there made the experience just so much better and eventful. Y’all did very well. Good job people. "

"This was my absolute favorite place my kids and I visited in 12 days in Costa Rica total. The staff and grounds were phenomenal. We want to go back- not just to Costa Rica, but also specifically to this property that just… felt like home to the hearts."

Everyone on the staff went over and beyond to assist you with whatever you need. The atmosphere was great as well. The perfect get away to relax, reflect and restore. My husband and I would like to thank specifically Curtis,Emmanuel, Ivan, Alfonso, Noel and Francisco. Thank you!"

"This home is exactly as described; private, scenic, and serene. You sit at the top of a mountain off the beaten path yet not too far from area attractions which are accessible. The scenery from the home is constantly changing and the views are endless. You can see the whales tale, past Playa Ventanas, down to the Corcovado area, and maybe Panama:) The views toward San Josecito are equally impressive. Around the property you will find well manicured grounds, fruit trees, animal spotting, and plenty of areas for relaxation. The home is well stocked and maintained. Carolina and Rume are top notch and fully available all times of day. They are wonderful people and we enjoyed our time with them. Carolina is excellent; proactively coordinates things in advance of arrival, manages excursions, had good contacts and recommendations, provided beneficial feedback, and was very nice to have around. The excursions Carolina organized were private family outings - she has good contacts and goes out of her way to schedule and organize itineraries. Rume tends more to the property but is present for dinners and we enjoyed him equally as much. Both were great to interact with. All meals Carolina and Rume prepared were great. As others have mentioned, the drive to the house is an adventure and part of the experience. You will need 4x4. Be sure to visit Santa Lucia Falls - excellent excursion and very nice family. Miss the howlers - mornings are magical. Stargazing is amazing too!"

"One of the best properties in the world. Everything is world class and you truly feel special. The rooms are spacious and elegant. Everyone knows your name and you have all your needs addressed before you can even think about it!"
