The place was beautiful. We met some great local people. The place is in a great central location and a short walk to the beach.

Excellent place, location, security, privacy, and above all, the friendliness of the staff. The place's impeccable cleanliness makes me want to come back many more times. I have traveled extensively, staying in many places, but none as clean and well-equipped as this one.

I enjoyed the ease of checking in, quick and helpful responses prior to check in. I was not able to get in an earlier check-in as I requested- I understand that early requests can't always be granted, but what was frustrating was not knowing if I will/will not get an early check-in only 24 hours in advance, despite asking several weeks ahead, and days ahead- I was told to just be watchful waiting. There is plenty of parking on site. I enjoyed the Pacifico Beach club- which also has free parking across the street, I did not use their shuttle. What was disappointing though was to find out two days in advance that one of the full days I would be there the Pacifico Beach club was not available due to a private event. The shower is extremely cold- so much so my kinds were screaming and crying. The sinks have hot water, but the showers do not. I sent Joanna a message. For this reason I would not stay here again, as I do not enjoy cold cold showers. My kids enjoyed the beach toys !

Joanna’s place was great, the Pacifico community is beautiful and peaceful, great place to stay with family or friends, you can say that the community it is at the heart of el Coco beach but the apartment is located far from the main road, walkable distance to everything you need, but still far from any noise, there is one restaurant on the floor below Joanna’s apartment so if you want to have a traditional Costa Rican Breakfast (Gallo Pinto) you don’t need to go very far! The apartment was great, very clean, very spacious, very secure, the amenities provided were also great, the place is just as described.

The unit was nice and location were nice enough. The pool out back was great and there’s a nice grocery store within walking distance. There are a bunch of restaurants and bars right down the street and the beach is close by. There were some minor miscommunications about check in details but they responded to our questions quickly and thoroughly.

Great location in a safe and welcoming area. The condo was clean and well maintained, and the amenities were good for a comfortable stay. It’s also conveniently close to stores, restaurants, and everything you need, which made getting around very easy. Special Places Property Management and Joanne were quick to respond and very helpful whenever we had a question. The ocean is just a short distance away, about a 10 min walk, making it easy to enjoy the beach, sunsets, and everything the area has to offer. Overall, it was a wonderful place to stay.

We had an amazing time at Joanna’s place in coco beach. We were traveling with our 18 month old toddler and it was the perfect location for her and us. We played in the pool every day and there are tons of shallow areas that are very child friendly. We enjoyed walking into town in the evenings for dinner and ice cream. The beach is also walkable and a nice spot to relax and watch the sunset and play in the sand. Joanna’s place was absolutely spotless. We felt very comfortable here. Muchas gracias.

Joanna’s place is exactly like described. Special Places vacations and Joanna have excellent response times to any issues. The condo was spotlessly clean and not cluttered. Traveling with 21 month old was easy. The condo was equipped with all his needs. Joanna has upgraded the balcony furniture from photo on listing. Everything else is what is on listing.

We’re also happy to know you appreciated the responsiveness from both Joanna and our Special Places Vacations team. Thank you for noting the upgraded balcony furniture as well. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly hope to welcome you and your family back again in the future. Pura vida! 🌴😊

We had a wonderful time at Joanna’s place. There were three huge swimming pools with a small drink and food restaurant poolside. They were also tennis courts, a pickle ball court, a basketball court and a soccer field. My six-year-old grandson had a blast.
