4BR Villa in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca

Christophe

Excellent, 1 week ago

We arrived in Puerto Viejo under a deluge of rain, and unfortunately our original lodgings had flooding issues. We had to find a place to stay immediately before it got dark and came across this beautiful home. The host was super reactive and we were able to check in and get settled straight away. The onsite manager was outstanding...he constantly checked in to make sure everything was okay and made sure we had everything we needed. The house itself is beautiful and we enjoyed great times together cooking in the outdoor kitchen while the kids enjoyed the pool. The home is well-situated, close to everything in Puerto Viejo. It is secluded and peaceful, but right around the corner from the main road with shops and restaurants galore.

Oh my goodness, where do I start? I’ll start off by saying you don’t need to look any further for a place to stay in Puerto Viejo. Book this air bnb. You deserve it! It was spotless, close to everything, safe, and is absolutely gorgeous! The pool is refreshing, the kitchen has everything you need and the bedrooms were so nice and air conditioned and the beds were very comfortable! I can not think of one single thing that I would change. This air bnb exceeded my expectations and we all agreed we can never stay anywhere else! Thank you so much!

Very, very nice place to stay, super clean and in excellent condition, everything it has, the rooms are super comfortable, and the beds are spotless. The location is super close to downtown, but it is on a somewhat unattractive block with limited street lighting.

Host Response

Thank you for highlighting the cleanliness and comfort of our home. We are sorry that you describe the area as “ugly.” Puerto Viejo is an authentic and developing town; its simplicity and the humility of its people and their homes are precisely what define its essence. We're sorry you couldn't appreciate the beauty of the natural setting and prefer more urbanized environments. Finally, we were disappointed to find the house in an extremely dirty condition. We wish you trips that better meet your expectations.

The place is just beautiful and exactly as described. Sirlen and Efrain were wonderful hosts. Everyone in our group loved the property. It was great to come back to the house and jump in the pool after exploring everything beautiful Puerto Viejo has to offer. Kiko Beach restaurant was a favorite of ours due to their exceptional service. Bear in mind the close proximity to other homes if you decide to book. Quiet time is observed after 9 pm. We would not hesitate to stay at this property again.

The place is great! Has all the facilities that we need to get a good trip! The communication from the host was exceptional! The only rest point that we find was that the place is too near of others and as the concept of the place is open the noise and music of the other places are easily noticed

Hi Orlando, we appreciate you staying with us and for your review. We want to provide some important context for your feedback on noise. The convenience of our location, which allowed you to park your car safely with us for your whole stay and walk everywhere, also meant you were close to the festivities during the once-a-year Wolaba Day parade. On any other day of the year, our property is known for its quiet and peaceful setting, as our road is tucked away from the main streets. While we have double-paneled windows to ensure a quiet rest, a town-wide celebration is an exception. We are glad you could enjoy the ultimate convenience of exploring the town entirely on foot and hope you'll visit again to experience our usual tranquility.

Totally recommended, we will definitely return, the house is exactly as shown in the photos, the place is quiet and we felt very comfortable. There were 7 of us and the spaces were perfect for everyone. Our favorite part was the kitchen, it was our social area to share. The parking lot indicates 2 parking spaces but we managed to accommodate 3 and they were large vehicles. In general, the place and the service provided was very good and we always had an immediate response and help from Sirlen.

Our stay was simply wonderful. The house is spotless, very clean, comfortable and with a privileged location. The common areas are very cozy, with spaces designed to share in a group and at the same time rest. The host's attention was excellent, always attentive, kind, and willing to answer any questions. In addition, the house is very well equipped with everything you need: full kitchen, air conditioning, good pool and impeccable bathrooms (which by the way, we loved the shower soap) It certainly exceeded our expectations. We recommend it 100% and hope to come back very soon.

What a beautiful home. My family and I wanted something within walking distance of a beach and the town center that had a full kitchen and pool. We got all of that plus an extra kitchen! My family likes to cook, having the extra fridge was priceless. A short walk leads to a relaxing beach and if I walked the opposite way in the morning I was overwhelmed by all the birds flitting about. Bonus: Each room has an air conditioner and bathroom so any bickering over room temperature and bathroom use was eliminated. In addition: I cant say enough about Sirlen and the house manager. The place is brand new and a couple of items needed attention. They handled every request immediately. They made recommendations for dining, shopping, and exploring. They set me up with the best tour guide we could have wanted, recommended an amazing restaurant for my mom's Birthday celebration and connected me with the manager....those connections made a huge difference for our whole trip.
