Eugenia was amazing, with quick replies to our chat, sending staff over when needed, offering help and tips for restaurants and transportation. She was able to accommodate our requests as much as possible. Very happy with the house and the staff.

Eugenia was very helpful from the initial contact, which made communication easy at all times. Likewise, the attention we received from all the staff was excellent. She also offered us the option of having breakfast at the hotel next to the house, and the experience was very good, with a varied breakfast of excellent quality. The house is very nice, with spacious areas, and it is safe, private and very clean. It was definitely a very pleasant stay.

Eugenia fue muy atenta desde el primer contacto, lo que facilitó la comunicación en todo momento. Asimismo, la atención que recibimos por parte de todo el personal fue excelente. También nos ofreció la opción de desayunar en el hotel ubicado junto a la casa, y la experiencia fue muy buena, con un desayuno variado y de excelente calidad. La casa es muy bonita, con espacios amplios, segura, privada y muy limpia. Sin duda, fue una estancia muy agradable.

This place was amazing. It was very close to everything. Great pool, very well thought out house and amenities. I would definitely recommend.

Eugenia’s place was very lovely! It was right near Jacó but still very private and quiet. Everything was clean and the property was so nice. It was awesome sleeping in AC! We did have issues with a bad storm but Eugenia was quick to accommodate us. I will stay again!

Beautiful house to enjoy as a family. We had a great time... 🤩

Hermosa casa para disfrutar en familia, la pasamos super bien.. 🤩

The place was super spacious, the pool was beautiful and large, and they cleaned it every day, the social area is super nice, we had a very nice weekend.

El lugar súper amplio, la piscina hermosa, grande y la limpiaban todos los días, la zona social es súper linda, pasamos muy lindo fin de semana

Beautiful house, in an excellent location and equipped with everything you need.

Hermosa casa, súper bien ubicada y equipada con todo lo que necesitas

This home was perfect for our tribe of 5. We loved having a private pool, rooms and outdoor space with the convenience of a restaurant & concierge services right next door. The home was clean, comfortable and as described. The property is beautiful - a truly peaceful retreat. Just minutes from downtown & beach, the location was great for us. Host & staff were incredibly responsive to any/all of our needs.

The house is super cute! There were 18 of us at a bachelorette party and we all enjoyed the space very much (respecting noise hours obviously). It was big enough to be comfortable, we were able to play games in the living room/terrace and the ice machine was a huge plus! We were all delighted with the surroundings of the house, it felt very private and full of greenery. Eugenia was one of the best parts, amazing as a host, always answering my questions quickly and kindly. 20/10 we would go back!

La casa es súper linda! Fuimos 18 personas a una despedida de soltera y disfrutamos muchísimo todas del espacio (respetando horas de ruido obviamente). Era lo suficientemente grande para estar cómodas, pudimos hacer juegos en la sala/terraza y la máquina de hielo fue un plus enorme! Todas quedamos encantadas con los alrededores de la casa, se sentía muy muy privada y llena de verde. Eugenia fue de las mejores partes, increíble como host, siempre respondiendo a mis preguntas de forma rápida y amable. 20/10 volveriamos!

House and property definitely met our needs. We were a traveling group of 9, with two families. The outdoor living space was perfect to dine and watch movies while some swam and others read or napped. The pool and rooms were cleaned daily and the property was safe and easy to find. All the rooms had AC which was great. Kitchen was set up with everything we needed. BIG PLUS...I cannot say enough about the staff at the adjacent hotel. They were incredibly friendly and very accommodating. We arrived much later than anticipated and the front desk attendant said "no problem" to keeping the kitchen open for us. He even volunteered to be our waiter. The concierge helped set up things for us to do and they were just such a great resource to have so close.

The house is very nice and very well equipped; it is close to the beaches. You can use the hotel facilities, which is a plus. I recommend this stay for families or large groups.

La casa es muy bonita y muy bien equipada; está cerca de las playas. Se pueden utilizar las instalaciones del hotel, lo que es un plus. Recomiendo esta estancia para familias o grupos grandes.

Everything was perfect, the place was beautiful and the young people who took care of us were always willing and kind. Good amount of cloths, utensils, etc. Suggestion: remove some branches so that a little sun can pass through.

Todo salió perfecto, el lugar preciosos y los jóvenes que nos atendieron siempre dispuestos y de buen trato. Buena cantidad de paños, utensilios, etc. Sugerecia: eliminar unas ramas para que pase un poquito de sol.

Our family had been planning this getaway for about 3 years. my grown kids were amazed at the wildlife and landscapes. Eugenia, Teejey, Pablo and all the staff were so helpful. we made lifelong friends on all of our adventures. it may take a while but we would love to come back some day for more rest, relaxation and adventure.

Our stay was a little disappointing. The owners are very friendly but things happened that did not make our stay the best. First, one of the rooms informed us that they had problems with the air conditioning and that they would fix it, but it only worked part of the night and the next day they came to fix it again. They very kindly gave us a room in the hotel next door, but it was not what we expected. That same day at night there was a leak in the middle of one of the rooms. The owners were informed but unfortunately they did not offer a solution. We had a baby sleeping there and what was done was to move the bed to the side but they were getting wet. Fortunately, the rain stopped at night. The kitchen has a metal curtain to keep animals out. When you lower it, it makes a very loud noise that wakes up the babies. All the doors were stuck and made a lot of noise. It would be good to have a thorough maintenance of the place.

Nuestra estadía fue un poco decepcionante los dueños son muy amables pero sucedieron cosas que no hicieron que nuestra estadía fuera la mejor. Primero uno de los cuartos nos informaron que habían tenido problemas con el aire acondicionado y que lo arreglarían pero funciono solo parte de la noche y el día siguiente llegaron a arreglarlo de nuevo. Muy amablemente dieron una habitación en el hotel del lado pero no era lo esperado. Ese mismo día en la noche se presentó una gotera en el medio de una de las habitaciones se les informó a los dueños pero lamentablemente de eso no ofrecieron solución ahí teniamos a una bebé durmiendo y lo que se hizo fue mover la cama al lado pero se estaban mojando. Por dicha la lluvia paró en la noche. La cocina tiene una cortina metálica para no dejar entrar animales cuando se baja hace un sonido muy fuerte que despierta a los bebés, todas las puertas se quedaban pegadas sonaban mucho sería bueno un mantenimiento a profundidad del lugar.

A Diego le dimos early check in GRATIS, pero es ese tipo de clientes con memoria selectiva… como bien dice, cuando ingresaron todo funcionaba perfectamente. El Sábado en la noche tuvieron un problema con el aire acondicionado de una de las habitaciones y al ver que la persona que lo arregla no podía venir esa misma noche, LES DIMOS GRATIS LA HABITACIÓN MAS PREMIUM DE NUESTRO HOTEL AL LADO (una Kal Suite, de Hotel Pumilio - si está leyendo este review, le invito a buscarla). Al rato de eso, cuando vieron nuestra excelente respuesta y el nivel de suite que les dimos gratis, escribieron diciendo que había una gotera, lo curioso es que no estaba lloviendo y desde que se fueron no hemos encontrado una sola gota en la habitación, ya no teníamos habitaciones disponibles en el hotel entonces les informamos que a primera hora revisaríamos la gotera… para nuestra sorpresa, NO HAY GOTERA! Lo que querían era otro cuarto gratis y como no se lo dimos… nos puso un 2!!

My family and I spent a week at casa Pumilio and it was a great time with beautiful surrounding. It was great have the hotel next door, the staff was friendly and helpful. We would definitely go back again!

Great family holiday in a beautiful country, peaceful settings & your really feel like your in the jungle with the iguanas & unbelievable array of colourful birds.

Excellent place, we had already visited it and we always have a great time. The fact that they help us with cleaning every day is wonderful and we will continue to choose it for a long time

Excelente lugar ya lo habíamos visitado y siempre la pasamos increíble. El que nos ayuden con limpieza todos los días es una maravilla y por mucho lo vamos a seguir eligiendo

The house is directly beside the boutique hotel (but on 2+ acres and very private), so service is easy to access and they are very responsive. It’s also hard to beat the breakfast buffet; get it! The pool is fantastic and cleaned daily, and you can just sit there and enjoy seeing many species of beautiful birds and lizards.

Excellent place to disconnect, just as it is in the description, communication with the hosts and at the reception is wonderful. The spectacular house is super comfortable and has everything you need. 100/100 privacy. We'll definitely be back.

Excelente lugar para desconectar, tal como viene en la descripción, la comunicación con los anfitriones y en recepción es maravillosa. La casa espectacular super cómoda tiene de todo lo que uno necesita. La privacidad 100/100. Sin duda regresaremos.

We had such a great time at Eugenia's place. We were on a girls trip with 12 of us and if fit all of us so great. Beautiful surroundings and we loved the outdoor kitchen setting. We found a waterfall hike that we walked to right from the house and the locked automatic gate made us feel super safe. Eugenia was great at communicating and very responsive. Highly recommend staying here!

I could not say enough positives about this home - it was a slice of paradise! The pool was beautiful and we loved having the outdoor living space to see all the wildlife and enjoy the lush foliage. Having the hotel next door was incredibly convenient and we had the BEST massages there, the staff were absolutely amazing, so helpful, and Eugenia was responsive before and during our entire stay. You can uber anywhere you need easily, which was a huge plus. My only complaint is that we did not book for longer than one week. I would not hesitate to book it again, and will definitely plan another trip back to this home!!

It's a perfect place for large families, the pool was perfect, the common area and the surrounding nature is very nice.

Es perfecto lugar para familias grandes, la piscina fue perfecta el área común y la naturaleza alrededor es muy lindo.

As a group of 8 adults and 2 children this place definately met our expectations.  With 4 air conditioned bedrooms we were all quite comfortable, one adult slept in the upstairs loft with only fans and it was a bit warm but this was all part of the description so no fault of Eugenia's.  The location is beautiful quiet and has some fun tours just a ten minute walk away.  Waterfalls, a chocolate tour and a quaint little restaurant that is definately unique and very local a fantastic Costa Rica experience.  A super nice surprise was that there was a provided breakfast every morning next door at the hotel with everything you could want for a breakfast and super friendly staff there to help and answer any questions as well as help provide advise and help with tours and transportation.  Because we like to travel around we probably won't be returning but if we were we would not hesitate to again book with Eugenia.  Thank you so much for the hospitality.

The stay was very pleasant. The location next to the hotel is very convenient, the breakfast is delicious and the staff is extremely friendly, Eugenia too, always ready to answer questions. Ideal for families who need accommodation in the area. As a detail to improve, some infrastructures are somewhat old, such as the window frames, and one bathroom had a leak, and they could benefit from remodeling. During our visit there was some noise from nearby construction, but it seems to be temporary. Despite this, I would recommend the place for its service and location.

La estadía fue muy placentera. La ubicación junto al hotel es muy conveniente, el desayuno es rico y el personal es extremadamente amable, Eugenia también, siempre dispuestos a resolver consultas. Ideal para familias que necesiten alojamiento en la zona. Como detalle a mejorar, algunas infraestructuras están algo viejas, como los marcos de las ventanas,  y un baño tenía una fuga, y  podrían beneficiarse de remodelaciones. Durante nuestra visita hubo algo de ruido por construcción cercana, pero parece ser temporal. A pesar de esto, recomendaría el lugar por su servicio y ubicación.

Eugenia’s house was perfect for our family of 11.   As part of the hotel we received amazing assistance from the concierge booking our excursions.  Daily breakfast is included which was a great bonus.  Location is close to beaches, groceries and restaurants.

Like being in a tropical garden with everything you expected and more. Peaceful, relaxing and comfortable. Close to the strip on the beach with shops and restaurants. Tropical rainforest tour just 10 minutes by car. I recommend this house 100%.

Great location, close to Herradura and Jaco Centro. It has enough space for a comfortable stay. The common area is perfect for a large group of people. Pool deli and having the breakfast included in the Hotel Pumilio is a success. Perfect for family resting.

Excelente ubicación, cerca de Herradura y Jaco Centro. Tiene espacio suficiente para una estancia cómoda. El área común es perfecta para un grupo de personas grande. Piscina deli y que tenga el desayuno incluido en el Hotel Pumilio es un exito. Perfecto para descanso familiar.

The place is amazing, very private and  great hospitality

This is my second time to stay with Eugenia. This time I rented the Casa Pumilio. It has 4 air conditioned bedrooms, but you will only sleep in them. We lived at the kitchen when we were there. It is well equipped and has a beautiful pavilion that would let you cook for and serve 20. The fenced and gated yard was secluded. There was a big storm and power outage while we visited. Hotel staff brought us torches, candles and buckets and bottles of water until power was restored. Wonderful service. I will return.

Very nice place, breakfast is really good, the customer service is a 10/10. Just the tv in the common area was not working. I would like to come back in the future, recommended.

The place is amazing, we were having a bachelorette party and we loved EVERYTHING, the green areas, the pool, the breakfast included is delicious, the house has all the comforts for large groups, we also got to clean the house on the second day, which we were too grateful for being so many people. Communication was always excellent and Eugenia was very flexible with check-in and check-out times, as well as when answering all my questions before the visit. In short, we would come back and recommend the place without a doubt.

El lugar es increíble, estuvimos celebrando una despedida de soltera y nos encantó TODO, las áreas verdes, la piscina, el desayuno incluido es delicioso, la casa tiene todas las comodidades para grupos grandes, también nos llegaron a limpiar la casa al segundo día, lo cual agradecemos demasiado al ser tantas personas. La comunicación siempre fue excelente y Eugenia fue muy flexible con los horarios de ingreso y salida, así como a la hora de contestar todas mis preguntas antes de la visita. En fin, volveríamos y recomendamos el lugar sin duda.

Eugenia was amazing and very responsive.   This place felt like a home away from home. Eugenia even had the breakfast kitchen open early for us due to having an early morning fishing trip. Would definitely stay again

Eugenia was so helpful start to finish. She gave us recommendations for restaurants and activities and made sure we were taken care of every step of the adventure. 5/5

Amazing stay. We stayed with a group of 9 and had plenty of space. There was space for us to play games, eat, retreat to our private rooms, and just chill. The service and connection to the hotel were awesome.  Breakfast each morning was perfect and allowed mommy to rest too. in addition, the team helped us with games, books, and had bikes IF we wanted. This is a must stay place with all kinds of great restaraunts and activities within a few minutes. I'm not a camper but the outside living was relaxing and the temparature was just right in the day and night. We even went on a little river hike right from the hotel. Grab a little bug spray or mosquito band and  Book now...this is a gem.

Very nice place to share. The space is spacious and the breakfast exc!

Muy bonito lugar para compartir. El espacio es amplio y el desayuno exc!

The entire experience was exactly what we were looking for. The breakfast was amazing every morning. Air conditioner worked great. The only reason i gave the location less than perfect was because we spent most of our time closer to Manuel Antoino.

Absolutely beautiful house! Me and my family (+15 ppl) really enjoy our time there. Breakfast at Hotel Pumilio was GREAT and the private pool surrounded by nature was our favorite part. The staff is friendly and the amenities at the house are just as described! Hope to be back soon!

A fantastically beautiful house near the beach. Communication with Eugenia was always so kind and helpful, thank you very much for that. We had a great birthday weekend and would come back anytime. Very very nice facility and the breakfast was great too

Ein traumhaft schönes Haus in Strandnähe. Die Kommunikation mit Eugenia war stets so freundlich und hilfsbereit, vielen lieben Dank dafür. Wir hatten ein tolles Geburtstagswochenende und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Sehr sehr schöne Anlage und das Frühstück war auch großartig

Couldn’t have asked for a better start for our Costa Rica trip. The wildlife and quick access to Jacó made for this being one of my favorite Latin America trips I’ve taken. Thanks to Eugeni and the hotel located right next door made this an experience you’ll never forget!

This airbnb was lovely and perfect for our family with 4 teens! Our family enjoyed the many perks of the hotel next door, like breakfast buffet and towel service :) Grounds were clean with lots of lush greenery. Rooms clean and cool. Really appreciated the 3 full bathrooms and washer and dryer! Pool was wonderful and cool. Many different types of beaches nearby, ones with big fun waves and some calm swimming. Not too far from airport, very easy to find, not too far from National Park Manuel Antonio, where we saw spider monkeys and sloths! Many fun guests while staying at this airbnb, like big friendly iguanas, a scorpion (not so friendly but cool to see! Yikes) a kitty and a nice doggie. This airbnb is partially outdoor living, so keep in mind when booking, there will be creatures and much warmer in some part of the living space, but hey... that's the true Costa Rican vacation experience! Thank you for the wonderful memories!

This place was a gem. The host was a sincere blessing. We would recommend the house AND hotel next door if you have a large gathering. The Spa is beautiful and the pool has a water slide built into the rocks. This will be our goto spot going forward for family gatherings.

Absolutely amazing stay! Only a 5-7 min car ride into down yet felt secluded. Amazing staff of the neighboring hotel made sure we were taken care of and were able to suggest excursions and beaches in the area. Would definitely recommend this home for big groups was plenty of room and privacy for everyone!

Staying Eugenia’s was a dream! I was first welcomed by little desserts because I mentioned that this vacation was to celebrate my birthday, which was so thoughtful. The place was beautiful on arrival. The AC and the pool was a huge plus given hot it was. Walking over to the hotel for breakfast was super easier and tasty. It was a great way to start our day. Communication was also very quick and fast. We really appreciated the daily cleaning service because we had a large group so it was nice to have clean towels and bathrooms. We also used the spa services as well that was easier to set up with the host. Overall, we really recommend staying here!

We’ve stayed at Hotel Pumilio multiple times in the past few years. It goes without saying that we always enjoy our times there. The service and staff have always been exceptional. This year we traveled with three families and were excited to stay at Eugenia’s place for the first time. We were met with warm welcomes and great service as always and felt like we were personal family guests. Everyone had an amazing time from the day we arrived until the day we left. There was plenty space for the kids to play and for the adults to relax and unwind. It was the perfect place to vacation with a big family or a larger group. We enjoyed the large open seating area by the pool where we watched our kids swim! We will miss our mornings and breakfasts there where we got to enjoy fresh cooked meals and chat with Biselda. This goes without saying, we can’t wait to visit again! Thank you for hosting us in your home! Until next time. Pura Vida!

It is a very nice place, comfortable and safe, plus an excellent breakfast :)

Es un lugar muy bonito, cómodo y seguro, además de un excelente desayuno :)

Very grateful to Eugenia and the Pumilio staff who took care of us in the best way. Always attentive and the house is wonderful.

Muy agradecidos con Eugenia y el personal de Pumilio que nos atendió de la mejor manera. Siempre atentos y la casa es maravillosa.

Excellent place, comfortable, very clean, quiet and the service is spectacular

Excelente lugar, cómodo, mucha limpieza, tranquilo y la atención es espectacular

Excellent accommodation! Very good location, privacy, service from the hotel staff to the property. Highlight the amenities included in breakfast and cleaning. Very well-equipped house! 100% recommended, another point to highlight was Eugenia's attention and flexibility. I will definitely be back.

Excelente hospedaje! Muy buena ubicación, privacidad, atención por parte del personal del hotel al apar de la propiedad. Resaltar los servicios incluidos del desayuno y limpieza. Casa muy bien equipada! 100% recomendado, otro punto a resaltar fue la atención y flexibilidad por parte de Eugenia. Definitivamente volveré.

Our family had the best time at Eugenia's house. I don't think I could've picked a better place to suit our needs / wants. AMPLE of space in the house and around it. Such a beautiful location. Best of both worlds - privacy and freedom of your own space with the benefits of having the hotel next door. Everything was well upkept from the house, pool to the landscaping surrounding the property. I'm already telling all my friends and coworkers about where we stayed and how awesome it was - just like to them I would highly recommend staying at Eugenia's house to anyone who is traveling to Costa Rica. When we are fortunate to travel even with so much to see in the world, we try not to go to the same place more than once but with no hesitation I would gladly revisit this house! Once again thank you so much for having us!  :)

We had an amazing stay at Casa Pumilio! Perfect relaxing vacation home, adjacent to the hotel with friendly helpful and accomodating staff. They were attentive and so sweet. They answered any questions we had, brought towels and cleaned the pool daily. The newly included breakfast at the hotel is a great benefit. We were a group of 6 and had plenty of room. I think the upstairs could host a sports team! This airbnb is great for groups, foreigners with limited Spanish proficiency (like us) and SO relaxing. The maintenence staff/security are not intrusive at all. Eugenia's instructions for check in and communication are excellent. I highly recommend Casa Pumilio and Hotel Pumilio.

a beautiful house run by lovely people. the fact that you get the benefits of the hotel services (including a delicious buffet breakfast) is just the cherry on top of the cake. I couldn't recommend the place highly enough. It was a delightful stay and at a very reasonable price.

Eugenia’s place was marvelous very clean and super spacious the outside sitting area is awesome for hanging around with the family and huge pool to the atención that was given as a host also was great I would highly recommend this place to anyone thanks again for a great stay

Outstanding attention and service from everyone on site

Excelente atención y servicio de todos en el lugar

House was as described but an sitting area inside would of been and added plus. I know Eugenia did mentioned the maintenance from the hotel had access to the yard on the house and that they will be there that was one thing we did not like. It didn’t feel private on that sense. Other than that it was great.

Our family really enjoyed the stay, spacious, comfortable, many activities to be able to do around. We went to see waterfalls, ride on a bike. Doña Eugenia is always available and the hotel's partners are always trying to resolve any situation. We had some issues with the internet and cable service.

Nuestra familia disfrutó mucho la estadía, lugar amplio, cómodo, muchas actividades que poder realizar alrededor. Fuimos a ver cataratas, andar en bicicleta. Doña Eugenia siempre pendiente y los colaboradores del hotel siempre tratando de resolver cualquier situación. Tuvimos algunos inconvenientes con el Internet y el servicio de TV por cable.

The house is super nice. We loved the pool and the spacious green space. The rooms and bathrooms were fully equipped and were what we needed The upstairs room with several beds comes in some light and mosquitoes but outside of that the house was perfect for our weekend. When we arrived the refri was blocked by a peak in the voltage due to a storm but the hotel team next door resolved it immediately and the communication was fluid and constant to fix us. The location is perfect for eating out but the kitchen also had everything you need for cooking. We look forward to returning.

La Casa es súper bonita. La piscina y el espacio verde amplio nos encantó. Los cuartos y los baños estaban totalmente equipados y eran lo que necesitábamos. Al cuarto de arriba con varias camas le entra algo de luz y mosquitos pero fuera de eso la casa fue perfecta para nuestro fin de semana. Cuando llegamos la refri estaba bloqueada por un pico en el voltaje debido a una tormenta pero el equipo del hotel al lado lo resolvió de inmediato y la comunicación fue fluida y constante para solucionarnos. La locación es perfecta para salir a comer pero la cocina también tenía todo lo necesario para cocinar. Esperamos poder volver.

Excellent place to spend time as a family

My family and I absolutely loved this place! The grounds were beautiful with so much to explore. We loved that we had our own private place and pool, but still had the amenities from the hotel. This place is not too far from major attractions. Upon arrival, Eugenia explained the grounds and amenities to our large group then answered any questions we had. Throughout our stay, she was extremely responsive, organized and helpful. She organized dinner order/ brought dinner to us + provided additional fans + sent someone to fix the WiFi + allowed us to borrow board games from the front desk + and offered to clean the rooms while we were out. Truly one of the best host we've had. The grounds felt very safe and secure. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the host being so responsiveness.

Spacious, safe place with an excellent location, we had a very nice time with family and friends.

Lugar amplio, seguro y con excelente ubicación, la pasamos muy lindo en familia y amigos.

Very nice house, very spacious and the pool is giant, one of the rooms smelled humid but with a dehumidening that facilitated the problem was removed, the attention was excellent from the hotel's chic@s which is next to the house, anything we needed was provided quickly and kindly. I was able to spend some great hesitation with my family and we will definitely be back.

Muy linda casa, muy amplia y la piscina es gigante, uno de los cuartos tenía olor a humedad pero con un deshumecedor que nos facilitaron se eliminó el problema, la atención fue excelente por parte de los chic@s del hotel que está a la par de la casa, cualquier cosa que necesitamos nos lo facilitaron de manera rápida y amable. Pude pasar unas excelentes vacilones con mi familia y definitivamente volveremos.

Lovely spacious home. Everything we expected, no glitches, smooth check in and check out. Would recommend this home.

I couldn't have asked for a better host or place to stay during my weekend here in JACO. I was celebrating my 30th birthday and not only was the location beautiful, the concierge and staff were extremely attentive and helpful. They gave the best recommendations and helped with all of our needs. I would 100% stay here again. The first night we arrived, we were starving and exhausted. The concierge not only picked up our food and dropped it off at the villa but, arranged for 7 massages at our villa while we waited for out food. She also asked for a list of groceries we may need for our stay. A++ service!!!!

We were 3 families, the house was perfect for us, lots of space, a beautiful pool and especially the fact that the house was close to the hotel made sure the very friendly team at the hotel was able to help us on several occasions. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Nous étions 3 familles, la maison était parfaite pour nous, beaucoup d'espace, une belle piscine et surtout le fait que la maison soit prêt de l'hôtel a fait en sorte que l'équipe très sympathique de l'hôtel a pu nous aider à plusieurs occasions. Merci pour ce beau séjour!

It is located in a comfortable area to access by vehicle, it is close to beaches but by vehicle, the facilities need maintenance and fumigation more frequently, the quality price seemed very high.

Está ubicado en una zona cómoda para accesar en vehículo, es cerca de playas pero en vehículo, las instalaciones necesitan mantenimiento y fumigar con más frecuencia, el precio calidad me pareció muy alto.

Very nice staff, smiling and answering our questions quickly; always ready to help us out. The laundry dryer was missing when we arrived, and the hotel installed one. He replaced the TV; cleaning, towel change, and pool maintenance were done daily. Sufficient amount of dishes for the 14 people we were. Great place with young kids. Close to the sea. In short, no hesitation to recommend this place.

Personnel très gentil, souriant et répondant à nos questions rapidement; toujours prêt à nous rendre service. Il manquait la sécheuse à linge à notre arrivée, l'hôtel en a installé une. Il a remplacé la télévision; le ménage, le changement de serviettes et l'entretien de la piscine se faisaient quotidiennement. Quantité de vaisselle suffisante pour les 14 personnes que nous étions. Endroit idéal avec de jeunes enfants. Proche de la mer. Bref, aucune hésitation à recommander cet endroit.

It is definitely a very nice house, and with a very good location and excellent construction. The common area and pool are spacious and pleasant spaces. However, the house needs maintenance. Our observations related to the condition we found the property, and some things that didn't work out and are not expected for the cost of such property. When we arrived the house was dusty, it didn't seem to have been cleaned the same day our entrance, we found dead insects in the apartment, there was no hot water, one of the beds did not it had sheets, another bed with stained sheets, we found a dirty cup under one of the beds, the blinds in one of the bedrooms could not be raised and the fan in that room does not it worked, the toilet in the main room didn't work so it was reported to the person in maintenance and I didn't have the necessary spare to replace it, the water was overflowing in the shower of the master bathroom, there was a gap in a window of one of the rooms, doors and windows with humidity mold, refrigerator with rusty doors, most kitchen utensils need to be changed (old and/or in poor condition). Cable TV didn't work and the internet was unstable, we couldn't work because of the bad connection. The second floor has access outside the house, entering through the common area, but there is no key to lock it, which allows anyone to enter through there at any time. We consider this a safety concern. All of the above was reported to the person in charge who kindly and quickly tried to fix some of the topics, such as hot water, house cleaning, beach chairs cleanliness, which could not be used for how dirty they were, cleaning of the pool ranch which we also could not use for being very dirty. The person in charge gave us bottles of wine, an extra night, and complimentary massages for the two people who were able to enjoy the extra night. Finally, a nice house, but we didn't consider the value for money. It wasn't what I expected We appreciate the courtesy they gave us, however, I don't think we will stay again or recommend it.

Definitivamente es una casa muy bonita, y con una muy buena ubicación y excelente construcción. El área común y la piscina son espacios amplios y agradables. Sin embargo, a la casa le hace falta mantenimiento. Nuestras observaciones relacionadas con el estado en que encontramos la propiedad, y algunas cosas que no funcionaron y no se espera para el costo de dicha propiedad. Cuando llegamos la casa estaba empolvada, no parecía que la hubieran limpiado el mismo día de nuestro ingreso, encontramos insectos muertos en el piso, no había agua caliente, una de las camas no tenía sabanas, otra cama con sabanas manchadas, encontramos una taza sucia debajo de una de las camas, las persianas en uno de los dormitorios no se podían subir y el ventilador en ese cuarto no funcionaba, el inodoro del cuarto principal no funcionaba por lo que se reportó a la persona de mantenimiento y no contaba con el repuesto necesario para cambiarlo, el agua se rebalsaba en la ducha del baño principal, había un hueco en una ventana de uno de los cuartos, las puertas y ventanas con hongo por humedad, el refrigerador con las puertas con óxido, la mayoría de los utensilios de cocina necesitan ser cambiados (viejos y/o en mal estado). La TV por cable no funcionó y el internet inestable, no logramos trabajar por la mala conexión. El segundo piso tiene acceso por fuera de la casa, ingresando por el área común, pero no se cuenta con llave para cerrarlo, lo que permite que cualquier persona pueda ingresar por ahí en cualquier momento. Esto lo consideramos un tema de seguridad. Todo lo anterior se reportó a la persona encargada quien amablemente y con velocidad trató de solucionar algunos de los temas, como el agua caliente, la limpieza de la casa, limpieza de las sillas de playa, las cuales no se podían usar por lo sucias que estaban, limpieza del rancho de la piscina el cual tampoco pudimos hacer uso por estar muy sucio. La persona encargada nos dio botellas de vino, una noche adicional y masajes de cortesía para las dos personas que pudieron disfrutar de la noche adicional. Finalmente, una bonita casa, pero consideramos que la relación precio calidad no fue adecuada. No fue lo que esperábamos. Agradecemos las cortesías que nos dieron, sin embargo, no creo que nos volvamos a hospedar ni la recomendamos.

My nephews cried when it was time to leave! We really loved Eugenia’s home. We definitely created some core memories there. Beautiful house. Super spacious. And the open space was great. We didn’t have much issues with bugs but I’d recommend to buy just in case. Communication was quick, and daily house keeping options was so important with such a big family so having that was great.

Great stay, incredible location. Super flexible and helpful plus the house is gorgeous.

This property is in a good location and within a decent walking distance to a restaurant (Casita del Sabor) we loved and a couple of stores. The property is located next to the Pumilio Hotel that you can access to get breakfast or a massage. We had a very good massage there. We loved the pool on this property and the lushness of the garden. Everyday was very hot and humid during June so we enjoyed the pool quite a bit. We also appreciated the towel service and the daily cleaning. We didn't realize that the only living space is outdoors. This is a plus and a minus. On the upside, it's quite nice to be near nature but it's hot and full of biting insects. Most of the doors did not lock so I've notified the owner about that. I'm hopeful that this will get corrected. However, I was able to get past it knowing that the property had a gate but our unit was always accessible to the hotel... a potential problem. It was obvious that the location had not been used for a while (maybe due to Covid). Thus, many things did not work or broke when we started using it: A/C in the upstairs bedroom; pipe broke in the laundry room; toilet was leaking near the base. Also, overall cleanliness of the rooms left a lot to be desired. However, the hotel staff was terrific and it felt like an oasis.

Thank you so much to Eugenia and the Pumilio Hotel! We have stayed here 3 times now and it feels like home! Everything is perfect! Thank you and we will be back again, of course. I recommend it 10/10!!!!

I do have nothing special to say about this place. Please read the rules otherwise you will feel harassed.

This house is a gem! The location is very close to San Jose, very convenient, and it’s hard to find a nice place to stay in that area. It is particularly especial for a big family with kids, because you can be in the terrace or kitchen and the kids can be in the pool, within view. The rooms are also comfortable and have a good distribution. Another plus is that the owners also have a hotel in the next property, and they are available for any help you might need in the house, they also offer a delicious buffet breakfast, you can just walk over. Thank you for everything!

What a wonderful place! We loved it! The service is good, the house is really nice. Magnificent!!

Don't walk....run to this amazing Costa Rican retreat. I treated my friends with kids to this one week stay. It's the best travel decision i've made yet. Kids ages were 14, 15 and 6. It's perfect for all of them. The house is set up so that everyone has their own privacy for "Me time" and yet the kitchen/living room/dining area is set up so that we can all enjoy one another. We played card games, board games outside, swam until our fingers wrinkled, scooted to town often. Jaco town and tours are right nearby. We did one of the all-day boat tours to an island it was amazing. With the owners hotel next door you have easy access to their amazing staff. In all my years of travel i've never experienced such accommodating, upbeat staff. We are so grateful to each of them. Married, single with kids (like me) or just want a place to get away with friends (also me) then this home is for you.

Very good location, the house is next to the hotel and arrives hotel staff to clean and change cloths daily👍🏼. The pool can hardly be taken advantage of because it gets dirty every minute of leaves from the trees. Appliances could be better. In general, it's good for you.

Muy buena localización, la casa queda a la par del hotel y llega personal del hotel a limpie y cambiar paños diariamente 👍🏼. La piscina casi no se puede aprovechar porque se ensucia cada minuto con hojas de los arboles. Los electrodomésticos podrían estar mejor. En general bien para ir en grupo.

Amazing house layout. The outdoor living room and pool area are the perfect set up and size. There plenty of places to play games, enjoy meals, or lounge. We didn’t watch a ton of TV outside of some of the March Madness games but it was nice to have if needed. There are some things that are a bit more run down than you see in the pics. We hired a chef for the week and struggled with the bbq not working sometimes and the stove/oven needing some repair. Small things that will be easy fixes. It was a little disappointing to see some of the reviews prior to our arrival mention this and not have had it be addressed yet. The BEST appliance however was the hotel grade ice machine. I cannot tell you, for a group of 11, was a game changer. I read in other reviews about the pool being dirty. They staff cleaned it daily but you are in the jungle under many beautiful trees so it will get some tree debris in it. Nothing unexpected and if it really bothers you they will leave you a skimmer. The hotel staff were great and responsive. There is not a dryer so if you plan of doing laundry just know that, as it is very humid it can take a while for things to dry. There is a safe in the pantry that I would recommend for peace of mind as there are lots of people constantly coming and going. Saw lots of iguanas and lizards and birds. And a cat that visited us nightly. Very close to the neo fauna waterfalls that I highly recommend checking out.

First of foremost, Eugenia’s communication is GREAT! The hotel concierge was also very responsive which we enjoyed and guided us through a lot. They helped us with our airport transfer, excursion and transport to downtown Jaco. The access to the hotel amenities was also very nice. There is mold in two of the rooms and definitely needs to be removed. There was construction around the property however it was far enough from the house where you can still get some privacy. We did not enjoy the pool much because it was always dirty. The gentleman cleaning the pool every morning was a sweetheart but Pool gets dirty within minutes he’s done. We did ask him to leave the skimmer so we could clean the pool ourselves throughout the day and which he did. Overall it’s a beautiful location, space and can accommodate a lot, just needs a little bit of TLC.

Casa Pumilio was truly an amazing accommodation for my 7-person stay in Jaco. The outdoor/pool area is breathtaking, and we spent a majority of time there. The house itself had plenty of space for us to spread out as a group, and the individual AC units worked really well for the Costa Rican heat. The hotel attached to the villa was also perfect; the housekeeping services were amazing and the front desk was so helpful in helping us call taxis and arrange our ATV excursions, transportation to the airport and more. I can’t think of any criticism besides the fact that there is a bit of construction going on near the house, so you may hear that some in the mornings, but besides that it was all perfect. I will definitely stay here again!!

Service from the neighboring hotel was excellent. The refresh on towels, pool maintenance and assistance from the front desk was very helpful. But we found the accommodations to be in very poor repair. The coffee maker was cracked and leaking, only one burner would turn on on the stove and several wouldn’t work even with the lighter the front desk gave us, showers had mold growth, very uncomfortable beds, no basic cleaning or kitchen supplies, and construction was happening on the property with workers coming and going so there was no tranquility or privacy. The photos are very misleading because the house looks decidedly more rundown than when it was photographed. It worked for our family group but I can’t say I would recommend the house.

Great home with lots of space! The beds were very firm but the yard and pool area made up for that! Would stay here again!

Really a very nice place. We had a great time. Spacious, safe and clean house. I want to go back many times.

Realmente un lugar muy bonito. La pasamos muy bien. Casa amplia, segura y limpia. Como para volver muchas veces.

Incredible service. The best of both worlds between a private home and a hotel.

Communication. And the service is super good. There is daily cleaning and change of towels, ice. A very large and comfortable social area for large families

La comunicación. Y el servicio es súper bueno hay limpieza diaria y cambio de toallas, hielo Una área social muy grande y cómoda para familia grandes

Casa Pumilio is beyond-words-fabulous. Not only is the property (with it's open air living room, barbecue grill, full kitchen and private pool) incredible, the staff is top notch. Cindy and Eugenia corresponded with me months before our trip to arrange our transportation and a few excursions. They answered every one of my questions promptly and thoroughly. During our stay Cindy was on property arranging taxis, food deliveries and refining our excursions. She was a wealth of information in suggesting local shops, resturants and beaches. Two of us took advantage of the onsite spa, which again, Cindy seemlessly scheduled for us. Alice gave me the best deep tissue massage I have ever had - that in itself was worth the visit! I simply cannot say enough about our experiece at Casa Pumilio except to once again express our thanks to the entire staff from those cooking breakfast, cleaning our pool and rooms, to the general maintence crew. One of our group members had to miss the trip due to Covid concerns, but wanted her experience to be included in this review... “My husband, son and I were unfortunately unable to join my family at Casa Pumilio due to Covid. We did get to video chat and were very jealous because the property looked beautiful! Most importantly, even though we were not guests, Eugenia and Cindy worked with us so we could send Christmas and birthday treats to our family there. They went out of their way to make things nice and to support us. This was certainly above and beyond as we were not even guests! We so appreciated being able to stay connected to our family with their thoughtful help!”

The location of the house could not be better. It is next to a hotel that takes care of the cleaning and resolution of any problem that has one and that is it👍. The house is a bit old and needs some improvements, but nothing that deserves a concern. One thing for large groups, the house really only has 4 rooms. The fifth space is a living room with about 6 single beds.

La ubicación de la casa no puede ser mejor. La misma está a la par de un hotel que se encarga de la limpieza y la resolución del cualquier problema que tenga uno y eso es 👍. La casa es algo antigua y necesita algunas mejoras, pero nada que amerite una preocupación. Un dato para grupos grandes, la casa realmente solo tiene 4 cuartos. El quinto espacio es una sala con unas 6 camas individuales.

Eugenia was super friendly, the house is great and the location is very good.

Eugenia fue super amable, la casa está genial y la ubicación es muy buena.

The house is in a great location just outside of Jaco adjacent to the hotel also owned and operated by the same owners.  The hotel staff operate the house and it is very convenient to have them next door.  The hotel staff also cleaned the pool and house daily which was great.  There is a small convenience store very near by on the same street that is great for basic items.  We  had a fairly large group and this house worked great for us.

Thank you so much to Eugenia for being so responsive and kind in every way! We loved our stay here for the second time and the hotel staff connected to it is AMAZING! We can't wait to come back for a 3rd time and we would recommend this to anyone!

Such a great stay! Pool is huge and area is very private, apart from the hotel but with the hotel facilities (every day cleaning, fresh towels and toiletries, etc.). The house is big and all rooms are as described, each with tv and AC. Kitchen is very well equipped and living room is open allowing for sharing and quality family time, just make sure you have mosquito repellent with you :). The property is surrounded by big trees so we woke up to many different birds each day, which was beautiful. The hotel personnel are very attentive and breakfast (if you decide to pay the extra fee) is really good and varied, fee is worth the pay. Would definitively recommend.

The house was amazing!! Will love to come back.

This place is great for family reunions, girls trip, small group trips etc…..the place looks exactly as shown in the pictures. Eugenia is a fantastic and very accommodating host
