2 bedroom condo extremely clean and decorated nicely. Fully equipped kitchen that we didn’t use. Great to have a washer and dryer

Beach area poorly equipped Only 2 old lounge chairs available to guests. Beach area could be greatly improved to make a better experience for guests. Property manager was exceptional and did provide us with three beach chairs we then carried to beach. Pool area was peaceful. Not much bird or animal sightings when we were there compared to other areas but rain probably kept them away. Security gates could be improved on. We had difficulty on several occasions getting in and out of complex.

Great location on the beach. Beautiful place and we enjoyed the kayak.

Expensive and the pool was temporarily closed for repair.

Remarkable location with a nearly private beach. Truly - the beach is unbelievable and just a short walk on a boardwalk from the main complex - we'd hear howler monkeys in the AM moving through the surrounding jungle. Condo was tasteful and well appointed. Beds were dreamy and kitchen was well stocked. Staff was responsive. Short drive to grocery stores + activities in Uvita area. TONS of great eating out options, but a car is really needed to explore the area. Pools were nice, though we spent much more time in the warm ocean.

I think the only thing I'd suggest is allowing guests to self check out the surf boards / sups / boogie boards so it didn't have to be coordinated w office hours. Early am waves were the best time to boogie board but the office doesn't open until 9am. That's pretty minimal feedback though - everything else was great !
