Home in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca

The dissatisfaction is mainly due to having to wait for a person for check-in The pillows and beds were very damp, and the tub was dirty with bird droppings. The water in the showers came out with dirt until the second day, when it improved. The air conditioning smelled very musty.

Más que todo la disconformidad se debe a tener que esperar a una persona para el check in La humedad en las almohadas y camas era muy fuerte , la tina estaba sucia con cacas de pájaro El agua de la duchas salía con tierra hasta el segundo día mejoró. El aire acondicionado olía mucho a humedad.

The place itself is very nice, with easy access to the beach. I would improve the location, as it is listed as being about 50 meters from the beach, but there is no internet access of any kind at the Airbnb. I was also surprised that there was no microwave, which I feel is an absolute must. Otherwise, everything else was excellent, and I would recommend it.

El lugar en sí es muy bonito, tiene fácil acceso a la playa, mejoraría el tema de la ubicación ya que está puesto para un lugar como a los 50 metros de este Airbnb y en el lugar no hay acceso a internet de ningún tipo, también me sorprendió que no hubiese microondas y siento que es un necesario si o si, por todo lo demás excelente y recomendando.

A beautiful house, very attentive hosts, and lovely rooms.

una casa hermosa y los anfitriones muy atentos , los cuartos hermosos .

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re really happy to hear you found the house warm and welcoming, that’s exactly the feeling we hope every guest experiences. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

A 20 out of 10 – the house was impeccable, and the hosts were super friendly and helpful! I will definitely be back!

20 de 10, la casa impecable y los anfitriones súper amables y colaboradores! Definitivamente volveré!

The place was very nice. There was a little bit of an odor in this space, but it was a very humid week. We unfortunately had to pay a late fee, because our New Jersey plane was delayed and we were traveling with 18 people for my wedding ends. We also had to change Tour buses in the middle of our ride because we were all too heavy for the one we had and then we had trouble finding all of our Airbnb so we were significantly late. Fabio did wait for us and we appreciate that very much.

Excellent communication and service, in addition to the beautiful property.

Excelente comunicación y atencion, además de lo precioso de la propiedad.

We were generally satisfied. The numerous worms have made us a little bit. We are aware that we have to expect insects in a tropical country, but we had no problems in other accommodations in Costa Rica in the same price range. The location is good, very close to the beach. The communication was also impeccable. However, it also rained very heavily when it rained, especially in the living room. The communication was also always very good.

Wir waren im grossen und ganzen zufrieden. Die zahlreichen würmer haben uns aber doch ein wenig zu schaffen gemacht. Wir sind uns bewusst, dass wir mit insekten in einem tropischen land rechnen müssen, allerdings hatten wir in anderen unterkünften in costa rica in der gleichen preisklasse keine probleme. Die lage ist gut, sehr nahe zum strand. Auch die kommunikation war einwandfrei. Allerdings hat es auch sehr stark reingeregnet als es mal geregnet hatte, vorallem im wohnzimmer. Die kommunikation war auch stets sehr gut.

Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the location and that communication with our team was helpful throughout your stay. We’re truly sorry about the inconvenience with the worms and the rain, being in a very tropical and lush environment, these situations can sometimes occur, but we understand that it can be uncomfortable. We are reinforcing our fumigation schedule and reviewing the roof and living room area to improve weather protection. Your comments help us continue to make the house better for future guests. Thank you again, and we hope to have the chance to welcome you back under even better conditions!

We enjoyed our stay and the amenities—it was fairly close to town, about a 10 minute drive or 35 minute walk.  The beach was about 7 mins away.  We did have some issues with cleanliness, the kitchen hasn’t been cleaned very well, there were grease stains on the stove, the trash was full and smelly, and the bed covers had stains.  If not for those issues this would have been an easy 5 stars.

Thank you very much for your feedback and for sharing what you enjoyed about the location and amenities. We’re truly sorry to hear about the cleanliness issues you encountered this is not the standard we aim to maintain. Your comments have been shared with our cleaning team to ensure everything is spotless and fresh for future guests. We appreciate your honest input and hope to have the chance to host you again for a perfect experience next time.

The house is very beautiful, quiet and cozy, the host is very communicative, friendly and attentive, we had a good time. However, there are some very important points for improvement that I would like to mention 1- The cleanliness of the house was not the best. When we arrived there were several things that did not look clean, including the carpet in the room, which looked dirty or very stained, and the garden was overgrown and had many leaves, from the day we entered. 2- There are many insects, it is understandable because there is a lot of nature, but there should be better fumigation of the place. When we arrived there were 15 worms approximately in each room which climbed everywhere and a cockroach in the clean dishes. 3- In one of the bathrooms, the shower has a terrible drain. The room flooded because the water does not go away. All the water goes to the side of the door. And in the kitchen the second day the water came out too. 4- The back part is not yet fenced, it is all barbed wire, which did not seem very safe to me.

La casi es muy hermosa, tranquila y acogedora, el host muy comunicativo, amable y atento, la pasamos bien. Sin embargo hay algunos puntos de mejora muy importantes que me gustaría mencionar 1- La limpieza de la casa no era la mejor, cuando llegamos habían varias cosas que no se veían limpias, entre esas la alfombra del cuarto, se veía sucia o muy manchada y el jardín crecido y con muchas hojas, desde el día que entramos. 2- Hay muchísimos insectos, es entendible porque hay mucha naturaleza, pero debería de haber una mejor fumigación del lugar, cuando llegamos habían 15 gusanos aprox en cada cuarto los cuales se subían a todas partes y una cucaracha en los platos limpios. 3- En uno de los baños la ducha tiene un pésimo desagüe, se nos inundó el cuarto porque el agua no se va, toda el agua agarra hacia el lado de la puerta. Y en la cocina el segundo día se nos salió el agua también. 4- La parte de atrás aún no está cercada, es toda alambre de púas, lo cual no me pareció muy seguro.

Thank you very much for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the house beautiful, tranquil, and enjoyed your stay. At the same time, we sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced. Your comments regarding cleaning, insects, drainage, and the back area are very important to us, and we are taking immediate steps to address each point to improve the comfort and safety for future guests. We truly appreciate your input and hope to have the opportunity to host you again under better conditions.

Hello, important points The back has no wall, it is closed only with barbed wire, which is not safe We had a situation, the neighbor told us that someone had entered the property and they had to call the police I think that for the cost of the place, they should close that part of the property to make it safe No hair dryer There are many insects inside the rooms

Hola puntos importantes La parte trasera no tiene tapia , está cerrada solo con alambre de púa , lo cual no es seguro Tuvimos una situación , el vecino nos indicó que alguien había ingresado a la propiedad y tuvieron que llamar a la policía Me parece que por el costo del lugar deberían cerrar esa parte de la propiedad para que sea seguro No hay secadora de cabello Dentro de las habitaciones hay muchos insectos

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about your concerns during your stay. The property is in a tropical environment, and while we do regular fumigation and cleaning, insects can sometimes be present—we’ll continue to improve this. We also appreciate your comments regarding the back area and the hair dryer; your suggestions are very valuable and we’ll review them carefully to enhance safety and comfort for our guests. Thank you again for your input, and we hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in the area.

The kitchen ceiling had a bad water leak due to the rain which caused my son's iPad to get destroyed. I reached out to the management corp and I was told to place the device in rice and shut it off and then it should work. I was also informed that they were aware of a water leak in the bathroom not the kitchen, however the following night the 1/2 bathroom was flooded due to another water leak that was previously reported to the management corp. Not sure as to why a water leak was reported and not rectified. The shower door (bottom of door) is full of mildew and not properly clean. On a positive note When I called and text they were quick to response, but not knowledgeable with solutions. The house is modern, rustic roads, close to the beach. Honestly due to the management I would not further recommend this place. I seek no compensation as I own several properties, however this was not one of my favorites, not ideal to deal with cleaning and bailing water.

We appreciate your feedback and are truly sorry to hear that your stay was not as enjoyable as we strive for all our guests to experience. We understand your frustration regarding the water leaks and the damage to your son's iPad. We'd like to address a few points to clarify the situation from our perspective: Prompt Response and Action We want to emphasize that upon receiving your message about the kitchen ceiling leak at 6:30 PM, our team responded immediately at 6:31 PM and dispatched a contractor to your property within half an hour. Our priority is always to address urgent issues as quickly as possible to minimize disruption and damage. iPad Compensation and Our Offer of Cleaning Regarding the iPad, when we discussed the matter with you, you informed us that you or your family members work for Apple and did not require compensation. We understood this to mean the issue was resolved to your satisfaction at that time. Once the initial leak was fixed, we offered to send a professional cleaner to address any related mess. You declined this offer, which we respected. Subsequent Leak and Unforeseen Circumstances You mentioned a subsequent leak in the 1/2 bathroom. We did not receive any further communication from you or your party about this specific issue after the kitchen leak was addressed. Therefore, any claim that we were "aware of a water leak...and not rectified" regarding the bathroom is inaccurate. We rely on our guests to inform us promptly of any new problems so we can take immediate action. It's also important to note that the area experienced an intense and unprecedented storm that night. Many properties in the region, including those that typically have no issues, experienced flooding or leaks due to the sheer volume of water. While we maintain our properties diligently, such extreme weather events are unfortunately out of our control. Maintenance and Property Standards We understand your comments about the mildew on the shower door. We regularly inspect and maintain our properties to the highest standards, and we will certainly look into this specific detail to ensure it meets our quality expectations. We genuinely regret that your experience led to a 1-star review. We believe we acted swiftly and responsibly in the face of the issues reported to us and were transparent in our communications. We are always striving to improve our guest experience, and your detailed feedback is valuable in that process. Kind Regards & Happy Travels

The place is very cozy, quiet and very nice. The host was very friendly and helpful. On the day of check-in, a collaborator arrived to greet us and hand over the villa. Excellent. Always attentive to you. How we spent the first night, etc. No complaints. Just as an observation, one morning the boy who cleans the pool arrived and they didn't tell us... 🤫Okay, we weren't in our underwear😄. Maybe for future rentals, give advance notice that someone is coming so we can be prepared. But everything is fine. The place is highly recommended. 🤙

El lugar muy acogedor, tranquilo y muy bonito. El anfitrión muy amable, y servicial. El día del check in llegó una colabodora a recibirnos y hacernos entrega de la villa. Excelente. Siempre pendiente de uno. Cómo pasamos la primer noche etc. No hay quejas. Sólo a manera de observación, una mañana llegó el muchacho que limpia la piscina y no nos avisaron... 🤫Vale que no andábamos en paños menores 😄. Talvéz para futuros alquileres avisar con tiempo que alguien va a llegar para uno estar prevenido. Pero todo bien. Super recomendado el lugar. 🤙

Thank you so much for your kind review! We're really happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and felt well cared for. 😊 Regarding the pool maintenance—thank you for the suggestion! We actually include the schedule for the pool guy and gardener in the welcome message you receive upon arrival, but we understand it’s easy to miss. We’ll make sure to start sending an extra reminder so guests are always aware and can be prepared. Thanks again, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Palawan. Upon check-in, we were personally welcomed and given a tour of the house. The villa is very modern and decorated in a boho beach house style. The kitchen was fully equipped, and each bedroom had its own en-suite bathroom. The beds were large and very comfortable. All rooms were exceptionally clean. The highlight was the spacious pool, perfect for relaxing. One or even multiple cars can easily be parked directly on the property. We were extremely satisfied with both the accommodation and the hosts. They were always available and quick to help whenever needed. If you’re looking for a worry-free experience in a stylish home within walking distance to the beach, this villa is the perfect choice.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Villa Palawan. It is a beautiful house with a lovely large pool, perfect for cooling off after a hot day in. The villa is located outside the busy center of Puerto Viejo, so you can enjoy the tranquility, yet there are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The kitchen has all the basics, which makes it easy to cook for yourself. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, and both have their own bathroom, which is very nice. Contact with the managers was smooth; they were friendly and quick to respond to questions. The villa offers a lot of privacy and you can safely park the car on your own property inside the fence. All in all, Villa Palawan is an ideal base to explore the area, such as Puerto Viejo, Cahuita, Punta Uva and Manzanillo. We would definitely recommend it!

Wij hebben enorm genoten van ons verblijf in Villa Palawan. Het is een prachtig huis met een heerlijk groot zwembad, perfect om na een warme dag in af te koelen. De villa ligt buiten het drukke centrum van Puerto Viejo, waardoor je kunt genieten van de rust, maar toch zijn er volop restaurantjes en winkeltjes in de buurt. De keuken is voorzien van alle basisbenodigdheden, wat het makkelijk maakt om zelf te koken. De slaapkamers zijn ruim en comfortabel, en beide beschikken over een eigen badkamer, wat erg fijn is. Het contact met de beheerders verliep soepel; ze waren vriendelijk en reageerden snel op vragen. De villa biedt veel privacy en je kunt de auto veilig op eigen terrein parkeren binnen het hek. Al met al is Villa Palawan een ideale uitvalsbasis om de omgeving te verkennen, zoals Puerto Viejo, Cahuita, Punta Uva en Manzanillo. We zouden het zeker aanraden!

We had a great time at Villa Palawan! The only drawback we had was that the power went out for 7 hours, but since it was Good Friday it was difficult for them to find a technician to help solve it. In the end, he arrived and fixed the situation. It was uncomfortable, but the hosts did their best to resolve it. Otherwise a beautiful house, a quiet atmosphere. We felt very safe. I saw in other reviews by other guests that it's a 2-minute walk, this seems very close, but it's actually 400 meters away. It's just a clarification so you don't think it's a step away from the beach, but likewise, it wasn't an inconvenience to enjoy the sea. We really liked the location! Very close to Puerto Viejo but far enough away to get away from the hustle and bustle. The neighboring houses are very nice too. I would definitely come back!

La pasamos muy bien en Villa Palawan! El único inconveniente que tuvimos es que se fue la luz por 7 horas, pero al ser viernes Santo les fue dificil recurrir a un técnico que ayudara a solucionar. Al final llegó y arregló la situación. Fue incómodo pero los anfitriones hicieron lo posible por resolver. Por lo demás una casa hermosa, un ambiente tranquilo. Nos sentimos muy seguros. Vi en otras reseñas de otros huéspedes que queda a 2 minutos a pie, esto parece muy cerca, pero realmente queda a 400 metros. Es solo una aclaración para que no se piense que está a un paso de la playa, pero igualmente, no fue un inconveniente para disfrutar del mar. La ubicación nos gustó mucho! Muy cerca de Puerto Viejo pero lo suficientemente apartado para alejarse del bullicio. Las casas vecinas muy bonitas tambien. Definitivamente volvería!

Very good place to stay, we just didn't know it didn't have a microwave, everything was very clean

Muy buen alojamiento, solo no sabíamos que no tenía microondas, muy limpio todo

Area is very safe - convenient to downtown PV but still far enough to feel private and quiet. We had a hard time finding the home as the location is sent a few hrs before stay begins and we didn't have wifi or data upon landing in CR. Luckily we were able to stop in downtown PV to get wifi so wasn't a huge deal. Company who handles the rentals (Rise) are super accommodating and respond quickly. Stay was mostly great except all bedrooms are seperate from the main room - master, kitchen/living room and second bedroom. Basically the home is divided into 3 areas accessed outside by key (if you wish to lock). With 2 young kids and a pool outside this was not ideal so I would not recommend this home if you have young children. Overall, would recommend.

This is like my home and I will be back! Thanks

Our stay at Villa Palawan was amazing! We had a great time relaxing in the pool and cooking in the gorgeous kitchen. Also it was near a lot of beautiful beaches so that was a great perk. The hosts were very responsive, helping out with any issues and answering questions promptly. We would definitely stay here again!

An incredible stay, surrounded by nature, a very nice modern house just as shown in the photos!!!

Un hospedaje increíble, rodeado de la naturaleza, una casa moderna muy linda justo como se aprecia en las fotos!!!

Cottage is nice, but needs a little more attention. Couch that sees on the fonts so our daughter has fallen behind and removed the leg. It was immediately fixed the next day which is positive. So my conclusion is if someone has a little more control for the guest coming or everything is ok then that's a good place.

Huisje is wel leuk, maar heeft wat meer aandacht nodig. Bank die op de schrifjes ziet dus onze dochter is naar achter gevallen en been geschrapt. Het was meteen de volgende dag gerepareerd wat positief is. Dus mij conclusie is als iemand iets meer controle heeft voor de gaste komen of alles in orde is dan is dat goed plek.

Dear Justyna, Thank you so much for your honest feedback regarding your stay at our property. We're glad to hear you found it nice and appreciated the cleanliness, accuracy, communication, and location. We sincerely apologize for the issue with the couch and the leg coming off. We're very pleased that we were able to address and fix it promptly the next day. Your daughter's safety and your comfort are our top priorities. We appreciate you highlighting both the positive aspects of your stay and the areas where we can improve. Your detailed feedback is invaluable to us. We hope you'll consider staying with us again in the future, and we'll strive to make your next experience even better :) Thanks!

Modern home just outside the center with a great host. If you go on vacation there as a family, you have to know that the two bedrooms are not connected to the living area. For us, this was a small drawback, but can be a great fit for holidays with friends. We still had a lovely stay and highly recommend the place!

Moderne Unterkunft etwas außerhalb des Zentrums mit einem tollem Gastgeber. Wenn man dort als Familie Urlaub macht muss man wissen, dass die beiden Schlafzimmer nicht mit dem Wohnbereich verbunden sind. Für uns war dies ein kleines Manko, kann für Urlaub mit Freunden aber wiederum super passen. Wir hatten dennoch einen schönen Aufenthalt und können die Unterkunft absolut empfehlen!

Beautiful home, we loved our stay. We booked last minute but we heard back right away and check in was very easy

We first discovered Villa Palawan last April and immediately rebooked to stay this past month.  Its well appointed, comfortable, relaxing. Easy walk to the beach everyday. A nearby market s really convenient and the restaurant at Banana Azul is a plus. Lovely pool and responsive management.

Great stay.  Owner/manager was very proactive and responsive.  Nice place that is close enough to walk to beach and some places in town.  We either drove or used a ‘tuk tuk’ when we did not want to walk too far.  No issues and felt very safe.

The house is really cute, according to the photos. Very clean, spacious and comfortable. The rooms have air conditioning and also the kitchen and dining area.  I really liked that the rooms are independent of the common area.  The bathrooms are spacious. We have a child in a wheelchair and the bathrooms have all the amenities. The only detail is the steps to enter the house, but once there everything is accessible.  The only recommendation, a microwave would be important as it is simpler if they take food to be able to heat them. Fabián is super friendly, he is attentive to any enquiries that are on site.  Super recommended!

La casa es realmente linda, acorde con las fotos. Muy limpia, espaciosa y cómoda. Los cuartos tienen aire acondicionado y también el área de la cocina y el comedor.  Me gustó mucho que los cuartos están independientes del área común.  Los baños son espaciosos. Tenemos un hijo en silla de ruedas y los baños tienen todas las comodidades. El único detalle es las gradas para ingresar a la casa, pero una vez ahí todo es accesible.  La única recomendación, seria importante un horno de microondas ya que es más sencillo si se llevan alimentos para poder calentarlos. Fabián es súper amable, está atento a cualquier consulta que se tenga en el lugar.  Súper recomendada!

The place is 100/10, we loved it!! the decor and spaces of the place are spectacular!! It is close to everything, private, and impeccable. The hosts are very friendly and in constant communication.

El alojamiento es 100/10, nos encantó!! la decoración y los espacios del lugar son espectaculares!! Está cerca de todo, es privado y estaba impecable. Los anfitriones son muy amables y en constante comunicación.

Had an absolute wonderful time. Very modern and well laid out space. Will 100 percent book this house again. Staff are extremely tentative and responsive. Big thank you

Nice place close to downtown. A bit hard to find initially but worth it.

Very Nice Place. The living room attracted a lot of ants and bugs which the country is a nature place so that’s expected. The AC works perfectly. The WiFi connection didn’t work during our stay. The pool was clean . Also the host is very responsive

The place is very nice and well located. You can walk to the beach. There's a lovely beach bar there too. The space is relatively new and nicely furnished. However, kitchen utensils, especially pots, are sparse and are a little older, partly broken. But there are a lot of restaurants nearby, so you don't have to cook:) I would recommend the place!

Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön und toll gelegen. Zum Strand kann man zu Fuß gehen. Dort ist auch eine schöne Beach Bar. Die Unterkunft ist relativ neu und schick eingerichtet. Küchenutensilien insbesondere Töpfe sind allerdings nur spärlich vorhanden und schon etwas älter, teils kaputt. Es gibt aber sehr viele Restaurants in der Nähe, so dass man nicht kochen muss :) ich würde die Unterkunft weiterempfehlen!

Excellent attentive, flexible friendly host! As for the comfortable natural place perfect for family clearance! We would definitely come back

Excelente anfitrión atento flexible amigable! En cuanto al lugar natural cómodo perfecto para despejar en familia ! Sin duda regresaríamos

Daniel was very responsive  and we loved being so close to the beach. Also really enjoyed the pool.

The house is beautiful and the communication with the host is excellent. We'll definitely be back!

La casa es hermosa y la comunicación con El anfitrión es excelente. Volveremos sin duda!

Comfy modern house, steps from playa negra and at a quiet location. Host were great and responsive. We had a great time!

The place is exactly like the pictures, really beautiful, quiet and private. Good communication with the hosts, very attentive. I'd recommend this place. Close to beaches and supermarkets. Well equipped the rooms with the necessary, in the kitchen you can find condiments and details from the owners, just keep in mind that if you want to reheat food there are no microwaves you should do it in the kitchen. Please note that the bathroom in a room the doors are glass so it can affect the privacy of those in the room. And check-out is much earlier than normally, it's at 10 am so you should consider this.

El lugar es exactamente como las fotos, realmente hermoso, tranquilo y privado. Muy buena comunicación con los hosts, muy atentos. Recomiendo este lugar. Queda cerca de playas y supermercados. Bien equipado los cuartos con lo necesario, en la cocina pueden encontrar condimentos y detalles de parte de los dueños, solo tomar en cuenta que si desean recalentar comida no hay microondas deben hacerlo en la cocina. Tomar en cuenta que el baño en una habitación las puertas son de vidrio por lo que puede afectar la privacidad de los que esté en la habitación. Y el check out es mucho más temprano que normalmente, es a las 10 am por lo que deben considerar esto.

Amazing villa, very large space! Ideal for family or couple. Pool maintenance during the stay, a few insects but it's part of the charm of the accommodation 🐸 Very close to the beach and we felt very safe. Hope to see you soon! Léona & Max

Villa incroyable, très grand espace ! Idéal pour famille ou couple. Entretien de la piscine pendant le séjour, quelques insectes mais ça fait partie du charme du logement 🐸 Très proche de la plage et on s’est senti très en sécurité. À bientôt on espère ! Léona & Max

We had 10 incidents. I have to call next day. I had a whole trip coming to figure something out, but still we had bucks and worms coming out the sinks so yeah I talked to the property manager. He said oh we know that it’s a problem. The room comes out to think so I said I want money off from the property what I paid the property manager called Danielle the owner and what was the problem. He said oh I give you $300 off not $500 but I expected but you have to leave me a good review so what I dit a ride a bad review and the AMEX Centurion take care on it!!! I will never refer this place to some friends and also please be careful when you’re renting this place. This have nothing to do. Also, when the place is cheaper is have to be clean and no worms running around what we had in our bathroom and master bed also, the second bedroom smells like mold and see on the ceiling. There is cracks in and there’s also more so I did all the pictures and videos to prove everything for in Sashy

We feel it's necessary to provide context for this review to give potential guests a clearer picture. Sashy's account unfortunately doesn't align with the reality of what transpired during their stay. Here are the key points to consider: 1. We promptly addressed all reported issues within 12 hours, which is our standard practice for all guests. 2. While Sashy mentions "10 incidents," many of these concerns were not initially reported and only surfaced during discount negotiations. 3. We offered a $300 discount as a goodwill gesture and requested he state that the management team promptly attended to his complaints if he was to leave a review. However, this was met with a demand for a much larger discount (nearly 50%) in exchange for not leaving a negative review. We don't engage in such practices. 4. From the moment of arrival, Sashy's communication was aggressive, abusive, and laced with profanity. This behavior was so severe that we had to report it to Airbnb within 24 hours of check-in. Despite this, our staff continued to address all concerns professionally. 5. The claims about bugs, mold, and structural issues were not raised until the end of the stay with the request for an almost 50% refund in exchange for not leaving a negative review. These complaints also contradict our maintenance records and regular inspections. 6. The mention of using AMEX Centurion for a chargeback is irrelevant and potentially fraudulent. Sashy stayed for the full seven days, and chargebacks are not intended for disputes over service quality, especially for completed stays. To potential guests: We take pride in maintaining high standards and addressing issues promptly. While we always strive for guest satisfaction, we also believe in fairness and honest communication. We welcome guests who are looking for a quality stay and open dialogue if issues arise. Our team is committed to providing excellent service to those who approach their stay with reasonable expectations and respectful communication. We stand by our property and our team's efforts. We invite you to book with confidence, knowing that we're here to ensure a positive experience for our guests.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Villa Palawan was great! I’ve stayed at a couple places in playa negra and this was one of my favorites! Very relaxing and peaceful. The host and management staff were very responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful place to stay at! We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Villa Palawan.

Overall the house , its location and the host's reception were very good.  We had an issue with a health service and it was really resolved very quickly. However  on the issue of water supply they have a significant improvement opportunity since the water supply is very low , the water has an unpleasant smell.

En general la casa , su ubicacion y la recepcion del anfitrion  estubieron muy bien.  Tuvimos un problema con un servicio sanitario y realmente fue resuelto muy rapido. Sin embargo  en el tema de suministro de agua tienen una oportunidad de mejora importante dado que el suministro de agua es muy bajo , el agua tiene un olor desagradable.

Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you had a positive experience overall. We sincerely apologize for the water-related issues you encountered. We're actively working to address the water pressure and quality concerns to ensure a more comfortable stay for future guests.

The place was very nice and we had a nice time. The pool was always clean. Large kitchen and recreation room. It takes about 5 minutes by car to Puerto Viejo. A smaller supermarket is 7 minutes walking just like Playa Negra. It is not entirely optimal that there are no mosquito nets in the entire place.

Die Unterkunft war sehr schön und wir hatten eine schöne Zeit. Der Pool war immer sauber. Große Küche und Aufenthaltsraum. Man braucht ungefähr 5 Minuten mit dem Auto nach Puerto Viejo. Ein kleinerer Supermarkt ist 7 Minuten zu Fuß entfernt genau so wie der Playa Negra. Nicht ganz optimal ist, dass in der gesamten Unterkunft keine Moskitonetze vorhanden sind.

The house was lovely with careful consideration taken in decor and it is in a beautiful area.  We loved the layout of the home and the idea of the outside tub; however, there was no privacy to afford anyone the opportunity to utilize the beautiful bathtub area as it was completely open to the pool area.  Since we were two couples, it would have been awkward for anyone to utilize the tub. Additionally, there was no microwave, and even though one wasn’t listen as an amenity it wasn’t specifically listed as not having one. We utilize Airbnb’s regularly and have never seen one without a microwave. Without utilizing the stove/oven, there was no way to heat leftovers from a restaurant so they were wasted. The bedrooms and bathrooms were beautiful and the showers were gorgeous and spacious.

The area, the house, the beaches and the people was unforgettable. We Wil definitely be back.  Daniel’s team was very responsive and helpful to us. We were stocked with groceries and the  pool was cleaned almost daily. A wonderful time!

Loved the location- LOVED the pool- it was super clean and the pool guy came about 3 times to clean it and check the jets during our stay.  My only complaint is that we need better instructions on attaining a few items like batteries for the tv remote or access to garbage bags, but we asked and they responded immediately.  Some things would be nice to just already have on deck or know in advanced to bring them.  The place, location, comfort and cleanliness is overall GREAT!

Hi Joanne, thank you so much for your review. We're glad you had such a great time here in the area :) thank your suggestions, we don't usually have a lot of extra bits around the house to keep it clean but we'll make sure there are some easy to find items for future. Hopefully see you back here again!

The main gate is complicated to open and close, also the water pressure during our visit was weak on many occasions, which affected the use of the shower and sink. Finally, the house has a very good location and the place where it is located is very safe.

El portón principal es complicado de abrir y cerrar, también la presión del agua durante nuestra visita fue débil en muchas ocasiones, lo cual afectaba el uso de la ducha y lavamanos. Finalmente, la casa tiene una muy buena ubicación y el lugar en donde se encuentra es muy seguro.

Thank you for your review and your visit. We're glad you had a great time at the house :) unfortunately the area is on water rationing at the time of your visit so this can sometimes effect the water pressure. We hope to see you again someday!

Great location! We absolutely loved the black sand beach that was in front of the Airbnb. It was a short drive to puerto viejo and punta uva as well as Cahuita park. Having a pool was awesome and the bathrooms were spacious and clean, only thing is that the shower water pressure was kind of low, but no complaints. The space was perfect for our group and would recommend to others looking for a place to stay in the area. Amenities worked well and being greeted was helpful at Check in. They were so nice about letting us do a late check out which gave us more time to swim before leaving the area.

An incredible place, everything was perfect, highly recommended

Lugar increíble, todo perfecto, sumamente recomendado

Love the place the only draw back was the WiFi was down and the hot wasn’t working. But I understand that it was circumstances beyond there control, so i will definitely book again.

Thank you so much for your understanding and kind words about your stay. We truly apologize for the inconveniences you experienced. The fiber optic line is back up and running and on your second day when the hot water went out it was due to a hot water heater that required a warranty repair which has now been fixed and re-installed. We hope you can stay with us again and we are happy to provide a discount as an apology for the inconvenience!

It was very nice and everything as described! The pool was a dream, only the construction work next door disturbed something that has nothing to do with Villa Palavan!

Es war sehr schön und alles wie beschrieben! Der Pool war ein Traum, lediglich die Bauarbeiten nebenan haben etwas gestört, was nichts mit der Villa Palavan zu tun hat!

Villa Palawan is more beautiful in person than the pictures suggest. We spent 5 glorious days there and struggled to leave everyday to go on the many adventures available to us. The beach is spectacular and only a few minutes walk, as well as, a small, very well provisioned market, and a hotel restaurant. By car or bike, Puerto Viejo is 10 minute away, and there are lots of restaurants, activities, tours to explore. The Villa itself was so comfortable, clean, and stunningly beautiful. We returned every afternoon for a dip in the pool, and relaxation on the patio, before preparing meals in the very well equipped kitchen. The beds are comfortable, the showers luxurious, and the bedrooms are equipped with black out shades so you don't have to get up when the sun does! We are very much looking forward to a return visit. Thank you, Daniel, for your hospitality!

Very nice modern villa with everything you could braucjt.

Sehr schöne moderne Villa mit allem was man braucjt.

Excellent place, very welcoming. It's just like the published photographs. The host's attention was always good.

Excelente lugar, muy acogedor. Es igual a las fotografías publicadas. La atención del anfitrión siempre fue buena.

we didn't have the best experiences with accomodation in Costa Rica. we switched our plans and spontaneously booked the villa - vest decision we could have made. it was awesome. would stay there again anytime. we stayed as a family, but the place would be even better for two couples.

Perfect 😄Beautiful villa ,excellent service ,cleaning in the living room , impeccable pool that is cleaned often ,service rendered (not included )excellent, welcome basket,everything is of quality. The howler monkeys we hear very well .

Parfait 😄 Belle villa ,excellent service ,menage dans le séjour ,piscine impeccable qui est nettoyé souvent ,service rendu (en sus )excellent,panier de bienvenue,tout est de qualité. Les singes hurleurs que nous entendons très bien .

Super beautiful place with bohaime style! Loved it! Everything was super clean! To the taste of the day! I highly recommend it!

Super belle endroit avec style bohaime! J’ai adoré! Tout étais super propre! Au gout du jour! Je la recommande fortement!

A beautiful house, with all the necessary amenities, beautiful decor and a great pool. We're comfortable there and it's very cozy. Beautiful amenities and you will be 10min drive from the center of Puerto Viejo. The closest beach is 5 min away. You will be 20min from Cahuita and Punta Uva. In the area there are only villas and one is under construction right next door currently but the workers are discreet. The communication was impeccable with the agency and they are very flexible. We highly recommend this place, you can book without hesitation.

Une maison magnifique, avec tous les équipements nécessaires, une belle décoration et une super piscine. On y est à l’aise et elle est très confortable. De belles prestations et vous serez à 10min en voiture du centre de Puerto Viejo. La plage la plus proche est à 5min. Vous serez à 20min de Cahuita et Punta Uva. Dans la zone il n’y a que des villas et une est en construction juste à côté actuellement mais les ouvriers sont discrets. La communication a été impeccable avec l’agence et ils sont très flexible. Nous recommandons fortement ce logement, vous pouvez réserver sans hésiter.

merci beaucoup Audrey, ce fut un plaisir d'héberger :)

The house was beautiful and exactly as pictured and described. This home is excellent for tranquility and simply enjoying some down time. The construction is still ongoing as they are building a house next door but it did not bother us.  The recommended chef, Priscilla, was absolutely fabulous and helped us to just relax and enjoy our stay. I highly recommend using her. Overall, a great place.

The property is beautiful with lovely details. The house is well equipped and with all the necessary things to have a perfect stay. The location of the house is in a private place out of the noise, but surrounded by nature which makes it spectacular. We really recommend the place as the property offers all the expected comfort in a very comfortable environment.

The place is beautiful. Great kitchen for cooking. The pool was cleaned daily, and there are lots of bids. We had hummingbirds, toucans, parrots, and lots of other birds. The only negative thing was that there was construction right next door. We were told about it the day of check-in, which was fine. What we didn't know is that the construction workers would be living in a lean-to right against the pool wall where they would be using the restroom and bathing outside. When they would cook, the smoke would permeate the backyard. They smoked what smelt like cigars, so you have to smell that while in the pool day or night. The beach is beautiful and close by.  Also, it would be helpful to have a location or even the name of the house prior to a couple of hours of arrival time. Immigration was an issue as we could not provide the address.

Beautiful new villa, with very good kitchen equipment, so you can cook for yourself without any problems. The communication was very friendly and also the employee who greeted us at check-in was incredibly friendly and accommodating. A great red wine awaited us in the property. It was all spotlessly clean.

Wunderschöne neue Villa, mit sehr guter Ausstattung der Küche, so dass man auch für sich problemlos kochen kann. Die Kommunikation war sehr sehr freundlich und auch der Mitarbeiter der uns beim Check In begrüßte war unglaublich freundlich und zuvorkommend. In der Unterkunft erwartete uns ein toller Rotwein. Es war alles makellos sauber.

superb quiet villa and very close to Puerto Viejo.
