The place is very comfortable and very nice. The service is super friendly. I'm very happy to be leaving.

El lugar muy cómodo muy bonito, la atención Super amables muy contento me voy

What we enjoyed the most was the pool. Spacious, clean and with good shade. Thank you very much Pablo!

Lo que más disfrutamos fue la piscina. Amplia, limpia y con buena sombra. Muchas gracias a Pablo!

Large and beautiful house. There were 13 of us, and we were all very comfortable. The photos don't show how big the property is. Safe for children, even if they come with a pet. I would definitely go back.

Casa grande y bonita. Eramos 13 personas, y todos bien comodos. Las fotos no muestran lo grande de la propiedad. Segura para niños e incluso si van con mascota. Sin duda, volvería

Everything is exactly as described. Excellent service from the staff. And great attention from the host. The only thing my family would improve is keeping the 2 cats inside the house, as they get on the table and into the kitchen and eat things. Otherwise, a great place

Todo está tal cual en la descripción. Un gran trato de parte de los trabajadores. Y gran atención del anfitrión. Lo único que mi familia mejoraría es la estancia de 2 gatos dentro de la casa ya que se suben a la mesa y cocina y se comen las cosas. Por lo demas excelente lugar

The house is extremely spacious, with everything you need. Essential for a large family! And a superbly equipped kitchen! I'm already looking for a date to return The green area is beautiful!

La casa es sumamente espaciosa, con todo lo Necesario para una familia grande! Y una cocina súper equipada! Ya estoy buscando fecha para regresar La zona verde es hermosa!

great stay of a month. Javier and his wife were great. they are trustworthy and always available. again a big thank you to them Monique

excellent séjour d'un mois. Javier et sa femme ont été formidables ce sont des personnes de confiance et toujours disponibles. encore un grand merci à eux Monique

Hermosa casa, personal y anfitrión excelentes.

My family enjoyed it so much Very nice place, communication with the host is excellent. Very attentive service. I recommend it

Mi familia disfrutó muchísimo. Muy lindo lugar, la comunicación con el host es excelente. Muy atenta la atención. Lo recomiendo

Great location, beach access, large pool, safe, clean and quiet for a fun family vacation!

Excelente ubicación, acceso a la playa, piscina amplia, seguro, aseado y tranquilo para pasar divertidas vacaciones en familia!

The property is really beautiful, well maintained and perfect for sharing with the family. Pablo, the manager, was very attentive and understanding, especially when reaching an agreement for having more than one pet. However, the stay was affected by the lack of privacy. A couple lives on the property who are in charge of the care and who constantly walk around the house, which was uncomfortable. One day, when they were not there, another person came and watched my sister-in-law while she slept in the courtyard, which made us very uncomfortable. On the day of departure, my sister was resting in the living room and we saw the man who lives on the property looking inside, right where she was, which again made us feel a lack of privacy. Although Mrs. Yorleny is very kind, during the two nights we were there, there were several entrances and movements of people outside our family, personal visits from them, which made us feel insecure.

La propiedad es realmente preciosa, bien cuidada y perfecta para compartir en familia. Pablo, el administrador, fue muy atento y comprensivo, especialmente al llegar a un acuerdo por la tenencia de más de una mascota. Sin embargo, la estadía se vio afectada por la falta de privacidad. En la propiedad vive una pareja encargada del cuido que realiza recorridos constantes alrededor de la casa, lo cual resultó incómodo. En uno de los días, cuando ellos no estaban, llegó otra persona externa y pasó observando a mi cuñada mientras dormía en el patio, lo que nos generó mucha incomodidad. El día de la salida, mi hermana descansaba en la sala y vimos al señor que vive en la propiedad mirando hacia el interior, justo donde ella estaba, lo que nuevamente nos hizo sentir falta de privacidad. Aunque doña Yorleny es muy amable, durante las dos noches que estuvimos hubo varias entradas y movimientos de personas ajenas a nuestra familia, visitas personales de ellos, lo cual nos generó inseguridad.

We appreciate you sharing your perception with us and reiterate that we are sorry that your experience was not as expected. We are always available for any further clarification.

Crazy huge property, the pictures didn't do it justice. The amount of space that was available to us has to be our family record!! Huge amount of space and super awesome pool area. The pool was definitely the highlight. House itself was super peaceful and plenty of room for the 7 of us. Probably had room for 14+ easily. Finding English speaking people was our hardest thing. The property Manager spoke very little and it was hard to find people that did! Pablo speaks english just fine though and was very accessible. Felt super safe and had an absolute blast at this home!! Definitely worth it!!

Excellent stay at Pablo's place. The green area is super nice and the pool is clean and well maintained. Excellent location, close to restaurants and supermarkets, and it was a strategic point to meet people from GAM and Guanacaste. The common areas are also very well furnished, which is essential for a good time as a large group. Highly recommended, and our friends and family were super happy.

Excelente estadía en el hospedaje de Pablo. La zona verde la tienen súper bonita y la piscina bien limpia y mantenida. Ubicación excelente, cerca de restaurantes y supermercados, además que fue un punto estratégico para encontrarnos entre personas de la GAM y Guanacaste. Las zonas comunes también están muy bien amuebladas lo cual es indispensable para pasar un buen rato al ser un grupo grande. Super recomendado, y nuestros amigos y familiares quedaron súper contentos.

excellent facilities, very green which gives it a lot of freshness due to the area where it is located, the facilities and rooms are very comfortable, there are many supermarkets and restaurants in the area, which is a good plus.

excelentes instalaciones, muy verde lo que le da mucha frescura por la zona que se encuentra, las instalaciones y habitaciones son muy comodas, ahi muchos supermecados y restaurantes en la zona, lo cual es un buen plus.

We loved the privacy and comfort of the space. We were together but not mixed up...

Nos encantó la privacidad y lo cómodo del espacio. Estuvimos juntos pero no revueltos...

The house is very comfortable, spacious, it was very clean and well maintained, the only negative thing is that probably because it was rainy season we found many mosquitoes inside the house and they had to fumigate when we arrived, which was not very convenient because we were with children.

La casa es muy cómoda, amplia, estaba muy limpia y bien mantenida, lo único negativo es que seguramente por ser época lluviosa encontramos muchísimos mosquitos dentro de la casa y tuvieron que fumigar cuando llegamos lo cual no fue muy conveniente pues íbamos con niños.

in an extraordinary place. The people in charge of receiving us were very friendly and helpful.

en lugar extraordinario. las personas encargadas de recibirnos muy amables y serviciales.

The place is amazing, very clean, beautiful, the people who take care of it are very friendly, everything was excellent, we would gladly come back.

El lugar increíble, muy limpio, hermosa, las personas que lo cuidan muy amables todo estuvo excelente con gusto volveríamos.

A very comfortable, nice, clean and easily accessible property. With remodeling improvements in bathrooms, but it is very nice and at the same time safe. You have to be careful with the tree branches in the parking lot. But I would definitely come back.

Una propiedad muy cómoda, linda, limpia y de fácil acceso. Con mejoras de remodelación en baños, pero es muy linda y a la vez segura. Hay que tener cuidado con las ramas de los árboles en el parking. Pero volveria definitivamente.

Probably the best place to stay in Puntarenas, the amenities were incredible. Pablo is an amazing host and communicates well! Would definitely book again.

My family felt very comfortable, we will definitely be back!!

Mi familia se sintió muy a gusto, definitivamente volveremos!!

Very good place, centrally located and cozy for the family

Muy buen lugar, céntrico y acogedor para la familia

Our family of ten stayed for seven days starting at the end of January 2025. The house and grounds are well-kept. We loved the pool and the walk out to the beach. The best thing was having the couple (Javier and Yorleny) that lived next to the house and could help us with any issues. We needed a baby crib, and Javier got one for us. Javier ensured we had water when the local power would be off for part of the day. When we needed to wash clothes, Javier helped us to use the washing machine. Having them there made us feel safe and was a huge advantage. The house was great, and it had enough space for all of us. Air conditioning in the rooms was a must in the heat. It was fun to see the parrots flying over every day and the other wildlife. I recommend staying here to anyone. Pablo has a beautiful home. Thank you, Pablo, for letting us stay here on our trip.

Beautiful property located in El Roble, in Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica. Having the caretakers living next door is very helpful and convenient: Javier and his wife are always ready to help solve any problem. Be aware , however, that they speak very little English. The three bedrooms located in the main house are very comfortable. The 3 bedrooms located next to the pool are more basic and less comfortable, perfect for teenagers, less for adult couples. We experienced a few technical problems upon our arrival but they were quickly fixed. The laundry machine had just broken down and was replaced the day before our departure. The swimming pool is great, always warm enough. The backyard is frequently visited by small iguanas and colorful birds. The beach is less inviting because of the debris brought in by the tides and it’s dark gray sand. I recommend this venue, particularly for families with kids who will truly enjoy the swimming pool as well as the ping pong and mini foot tables.

The place is just as shown in the photos, it is very spacious, very nice green areas, very comfortable spaces. We were a group of friends with children and we really enjoyed it.  Communication with Pablo was easy, he always responds quickly and is very friendly. It'll be a pleasure to return.

El lugar es tal y como se ve en la fotos, es muy amplio, zonas verdes  muy lindas, espacios muy cómodos. Fuimos un grupo de amigos con niños y lo disfrutamos muchísimo.  La comunicación con Pablo fue sencilla, siempre responde rápido y es muy amable. Será un gusto regresar.

Everything, from communicating with Pablo and Javier to being welcomed to the place, was fantastic. The Airbnb was incredibly comfortable, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We’ll definitely be returning and will highly recommend it!

We really enjoyed our stay here.  There was 12 of us in total and the accommodations suited us well.  Everyone enjoyed the pool, ping pong table and froozeball table.  We did lots of cooking and eating and no problems able to cook all dishes.  The bedrooms were great and so nice everyone having their own bathrooms.  Would love to come back again one day!

Fantastic! We rented this property for a mini-family reunion (4 siblings, our parents, and our families) with kids ranging from 5 to 16. There was space for the older kids to play soccer in the lawn while the littler ones played in the pool or in the pavilion. The property is set up with multiple sitting areas conducive to conversations between family members, but the dining area was sufficient for all 15 of us to comfortably eat in close proximity across the two tables. Pablo was great about answering all of my questions leading up to our rental and the couple living on the grounds (in a separate house) did a great job of discretely attending to the pool and to our various needs and questions. In addition, there was an issue with the water supply the whole region, but they went out of their way to ensure that our vacation wasn't affected. The beach in Puntarenas is rather steep and there'd been a lot of rain, so we spent most of our time in the house and playing in the pool & yard.

the house is in excellent condition and is super spacious

la casa está en excelente estado y es súper amplia

hermosa casa, mi familia disfruto muchísimo

Definitely a very beautiful place we really enjoyed the family weekend

Definitivamente un lugar muy hermoso disfrutamos mucho el fin de semana en familia

Muchas gracias Fabio!! Contentos de que hayan disfrutado y que la pasaron bien! Saludos!!

100% recommended. The place is very clean, very welcoming, with everything you need to spend a pleasant stay. The people who come on site are very friendly and respectful of privacy.

Recomendado 100%. Muy limpio el lugar, muy acogedor, con todo lo necesario para pasar una estadía agradable. Las personas que vienen en el lugar son muy amables y respetuosos a la privacidad.

Pablo's place is very comfortable. My family had a very good time here. It has a lot of space and is really very near to the beach.

Classic garden home that is wide open in public spaces like kitchen and dining room, but with closable, air conditioned bedrooms. Cobble-stoned driveway behind the steel gate opens to a beautiful garden, which is home to huge, vine-covered trees and other tropical plants. Caretakers Javier and Yoleny are highly responsive. If you are looking for lots of close by restaurants and nightclubs, this might not be the place for you. If you are looking for a secure, vintage garden home with modern amenities, a responsive host, and great, on-site caretakers, consider this beach-front property.

very grateful to the very attentive managers, the house is very nice and comfortable, we had a great time, we had a great time 👍

muy agradecido con los encargados muy atentos, la casa muy bonita y cómoda, la pasamos muy bien 👍

Excellent option for family vacations. Don Javier and Mrs. Yorleny provide excellent service and are attentive to collaborate in any situation on the site, which speeds up and gives a lot of confidence. The house is very spacious and ventilated, with good natural light (Kitchen is very well equipped). Many rooms with their own bathroom, which is very difficult to find. The pool is great and the open spaces are in perfect condition. (If they couldn't read it, there's a Ping Pong table and foosball table.) It's definitely a place to visit more than once.

Excelente opción para vacacionar en familia. Don Javier y doña Yorleny dan un excelente servicio y están atentos para colaborar en cualquier situación en el sitio, lo que agiliza y da mucha confianza. La casa es muy espaciosa y ventilada, con buena luz natural (La cocina está muy bien equipada). Muchos cuartos con baño propio lo que cuesta mucho encontrar. La piscina está genial y los espacios abiertos están en perfectas condiciones. (Por si no alcanzaron a leerlo, hay mesa de Ping Pong y futbolín). Sin lugar a dudas es un lugar para visitar más de una vez.

Very comfortable stay! And super friendly hosts!!!

Estancia muy comoda ! Y anfitriones super amables !!!

Excellent host, a super nice place, and very friendly people. Thank you.

Excelente anfitrión lugar super agradable, personas muy amables. Gracias

Maybe one of the best AirBnb stays we've ever had. The photos of the house don't do it justice, it is a very nice and spacious house, the kitchen is fully equipped, the rooms are comfortable and the bathrooms are spacious. The pool is great, it's big enough for 14 or 15 people. The beach is just over 100 meters from the house. It has excellent internet service, no damage, very good lighting and ventilation, some rooms are further from the pool which works very well when some want just to rest and others want a cheerful plan. I must highlight Don Javier and his wife, the couple who take care of the place, always attentive to our needs, in fact Don Javier very kindly "except" upon our arrival without knowing that we were going to the house, with a problem that arose for us with the vehicle in which we were traveling. Anyway, 10 out of 10 for this stay!!!

Es quizás una de la mejores estadías de AirBnb que hemos tenido. Las fotos de la casa se quedan cortas, es una casa muy linda y amplia, la cocina está full equipada, las habitaciones son cómodas y los baños amplios. La piscina es genial, es lo suficientemente grande para 14 o 15 personas. La playa esta a poco más de 100m de la casa. Cuenta con servicio excelente de internet, ningún desperfecto, muy buena iluminación y ventilación, algunas habitaciones están más lejos de la piscina lo cual funciona muy bien cuando algunos desean solo descansar y otros quieren un plan mas alegre. He de resaltar a don Javier y su esposa, la pareja que cuida del lugar, siempre atentos a nuestras necesidades, de hecho don Javier muy amablemente nos "salvo" a nuestra llegada sin saber que íbamos para la casa, con un problema que se nos presentó con el vehículo en el que viajábamos. En fin, 10 de 10 para este hospedaje!!!

The house is perfect for a family vacation! Very happy to have had the opportunity to enjoy the stay and with the intention of returning soon...

¡La casa es perfecta para unas vacaciones en familia! Muy contentos de haber tenido la oportunidad de disfrutar la estadía y con la intención de volver pronto...

The place is easily accessible, the facilities are very beautiful, better than what you see in the photos. We felt comfortable and safe. Super attentive and friendly caregivers.

El lugar es de fácil acceso, las instalaciones muy hermosas, mejor que como se ven en las fotos. Nos sentimos cómodos y seguros. Los cuidadores súper atentos y amables.

La ubicación, casa,piscina excelente. La atención y comunicación fue muy buena. 100% recomendada!!!

100% recommended, excellent place, a super clean house, cared for. In addition, the caretakers of the house have excellent treatment. Super good service and it's worth it. Yes, I could give them more stars you'd give them to them

Recomendado al 100%, excelente lugar, una casa super limpia, cuidada. además de que los cuidadores de la casa tienen un trato excelente. Super buen servicio y vale muchísimo la pena. Sí pudiera darle más estrellas se las darías

Everything was very nice, the house is very nice and special to spend with the family

Estuvo muy bonito todo, la casa es muy bonita y especial para pasarlo en familia

If I could give 6 stars, I would. I loved the beautiful home with the access to the beach. Javier and Yoleni welcomed us with open arms. They were amazing, helped us out in any way possible. I felt safe with them being around. My family and I enjoyed our time. Great location, in the center of many cities. Last minute booking, check in was extremely easy. Host fast communication and extremely accommodating. Huge home, it was cleaned everyday, and had  plenty amenities. Loved everything about it, plenty rooms and spacious, will definitely be visiting again.

Thanks Alejandro, happy that you had a great vacation time!!!

A very beautiful place, the house is very clean, the facilities are very well cared for, the house keepers are very friendly and very attentive, we will definitely be back soon

Un lugar muy hermoso la casa muy limpia las instalaciones muy bien cuidada los encargados de la casa muy amables y muy atentos definitivamente volveremos pronto
