I'm not good at writing these and I don't use AI. But I'll give it a go. We loved Casa Noni. Ruth was more than helpful. She helped us plan ATV's and different activities and tours. Bryan keeps the place just looking awesome. Wendy keeps it tidy and clean. You should for sure do the fishing tour. We caught a a Tuna run and had fish for days. The Canopy Tour or Zip Line in MalPais is foot over hands better than the one in Montezuma and within walking distance. Borrow the snorkel gear for Secret Beach. Full disclosure...you will be living with bugs, crabs, spiders, scorpions, bats and other creatures. All kind of part of the Costa Rica open living lifestyle. Best to have a 4X4 vehicle or ATV(Cabayua Road). I had the Toyota Hilux(which I enjoyed driving). Upstairs Loft was pretty much unusable for us. Just to Hot up there. But our favorite had to be the pool and outdoor shower. We used it multiple times a day. Rent Casa Noni, you won't regret it. Pura Vida

Jesse, Thank you for your review. Ruth said you were great guests that really enjoyed the community. I appreciate you taking such good care for our house. I hope you have an opportunity to return to our little community, you would be very welcome. Noni

Naomi's place is beautiful, relaxing, and comfortable. The house had everything we needed and the local concierge, Ruth, was pleasant and helpful. If you like to surf, this is a perfect location right next to some of the best surfing around. If you like more swimmable beaches, waterfalls, and jungle hiking, then Montezuma is a short drive away. The house is a wonderful place to relax after a busy day of activities. We had white face capuchin monkeys visit us in the trees next to the pool and howler monkeys came through another day. There are a few nice restaurants and a local craft brewery within walking distance of the house. Overall, it was a great experience and we all enjoyed our stay at Naomi's house. You won't be disappointed with Naomi's house if you choose to stay there.

The house was beautiful and exactly as advertised. The pool was awesome and the house was very close to the beaches and restaurants of MalPais. Ruth was a great concierge and was very responsive and great at setting up activities.

Brian, Your group was a pleasure, and you left the house so tidy!! Five star guests! ⭐️ You are welcome to come back anytime. Noni

The house was wonderful! Open air, beautiful pool, jungle setting, quiet and full of nice features. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it to others. And while the house was wonderful, we found Ruth to be the best part of the overall experience. Always there to answer questions and help. She made the trip!

Jay, thank you for your great review. I’m happy your group had such a great vacation. I agree with you, Ruth is awesome!! Please come back soon to visit us in Mal Pais! Noni

Casa Noni will be an amazing stay. pool is nice. Plenty of space. Very clean. Be aware the upstairs only has fans but 2 bedrooms do have AC. It was cool enough at night when we were there. Ruth is an absolutely epic host. You won't be disappointed

Thank you Holt for taking your time to write a great review. I’m happy that your group had a great time. Please come back to visit us soon in Mal Pais. Cheers, Noni PS - There are 3 AC bedrooms and the Loft bedroom

Truly your own piece of paradise. We absolutely loved this place. Great for families or a group of friends. We loved sitting on the deck in the morning listening to the howler monkeys and birds while sipping our coffee. We even had monkeys in the lower yard come for some bananas. We walked down to Mary’s for the best pizza and nachos and maybe some cervesa’s :). It’s a great place to go for a snack or drinks and so convenient to walk to. The caretaker was so helpful. She set us up on all the excursions we wanted to do. I would definitely come back here one day! Oh and we really liked that we were in the “not so busy” area as the town was really busy. But driving into town for groceries took less than 10mins. **Pura Vida**
