2BR Home in Playa El Coco

Oscar

Excellent, 3 months ago

I liked the place, on the banks of the new esplanade and across from the beach. You can't ask for more!

Hello, we returned from our stay at the Casa Tuna in Playa el Coco. Ismael is a great person...never rests as he is always watching for customer needs, etc. Very corteous, a man. The apartment is very nice and confortable. With all the necessary ingredients for staying confortably. There were a few caveats however: - The electricity was not stable at times. There was a moment without power for about an hour. - There was a leak under the sink that even Ismael applied some glue but did not help. - The receptacle holding the filter water also leaked. We could not use it. - The windows placed at the apartment are not proper for an air condition setting as the cold air leaks out of them and warm air comes in. We were four guests staying at the aparment. Only one AC was active while in the premises. - I was charged an additional $17 dollars because of additional 51 Kw usage. Overall a nice stay. Would I refer / comeback to stay again....certainly. Rafael

We had a great stay at Playa El Coco. The apartment is nice, 30 seconds walk to the amazing beach. However, as other comments mentionned, there is no direct view from the appartment as another building blocks the view. That haven't refrained us of anything however as the beach is so close. A convenience store is at less than 10 minutes walk with everything you need, even some basic cooking ingredients. The appartment is well equipped as well, but bring your own cooking basics, as the only thing available during our stay was salt (no oil, pepper, sugar, etc.), but it's wasn't a big deal. The rooms are comfy, the energy limit is more than enough of you us A/C only to sleep. The staff is nice. We'd go again anytime!

Very nice location, Playa El Coco is a wonderful beach. The accommodation is located behind a larger accommodation, so no sea view directly from the accommodation, and the land you see in the photos is only for residents of the large accommodation in question. As for the residence, unfortunately it lacks many amenities. For example, there was no wine glass, we had to go buy it, which we left there for the next occupants. The dining table is a folding table so small that we were not able to sit the whole family (2 adults 3 children). The bedrooms are good and both have their own bathroom. In terms of communication with the owner, it was very difficult. We could wait 12 to 24 hours before getting an answer for things that were still very important (the door did not lock from the inside so we were afraid for our safety at night).

The house was very well located a few steps from the sea in a very quiet area. Two bedrooms each with one bathroom. However, the furniture in the house could have been better quality and more comfortable (small folding table for eating and very uncomfortable sofa). When we arrived, the house was not ready, the people in charge had not been informed of our arrival. Plus, we ran out of propane for the stove from day one. We informed the owners without a response. We finally got propane the next night at 8:30 p.m. I sent multiple messages to the owners without any response. The place is very good but the management is very poor. In addition, we were informed that we had to pay for the additional electricity when there was no mention of this in the listing. For all these reasons, unfortunately, we do not recommend the accommodation.

Beautiful beachside stay, perfect for families. The two-bedroom, two-bath layout gave us plenty of space and easy beach access. We were given 26 kW of power daily, keeping A/C to night-time and using fans during the day to stay comfortable. Power and WiFi were occasionally inconsistent, which is common in the area. A car is recommended to get around. Overall, a very relaxing spot with a gorgeous beach—great for families who can adapt to occasional service variability. We loved our stay on this pristine beach.

Rene’s house was spotless and everything worked very well. What we would have liked was more information about Playa de Coco ahead of coming there. There is no Place nearby to buy food and only one restaurant with irregular openings hours, high prices and bland reviews. For example we wanted to go there to have breakfast 8am in the morning (on Google they open at 7am) but the restaurant was closed. Also we couldn’t find anywhere where we could rent surfing boards. This would be good if the host could add to the description of the place because basically as guest one has to bring all the food and drinks that is needed during the stay. Of course we take some blame, we should have done better research ourselves. But this is a suggestion for improvement.
