Our favorite aspects of were the beautiful garden and its resident monkeys, birds, butterflies, and agouties. We were also impressed by the property manager, Rudolfo, who provided excellent concierge service and was very communicative and responsive. The house was not quite as expected from the profile video and price. The property has an outdoor shower, which can be a lovely amenity, but it is part of an en suite bathroom and bedroom, and attracted a steady stream of insects, who also made their way into the bedroom. By the end of our stay, the shower had collected dozens of millipedes, a giant cockroach attracted to the coconut body wash, and a parade of ants that circled the entire perimeter of the bedroom & bathroom. The main house was better insulated from the bugs, but one of the couches became infected with large ants on the second evening, and we spent some time trying to vacuum them all up. We are residents of Costa Rica, and are accustomed to some insects coming indoors, but this was too many for our comfort level. Aside from the insects, there were some practical details that were a bit inconvenient, such as nowhere to put clothes in the primary bedroom, nowhere to hang bath towels except outside, insufficient lighting in the bathrooms, and some lamps that were not working. These small things were certainly not egregious oversights, but taken all together, we did not feel the experience was up to the standard of the rates we paid.
