What an amazing home! We loved every minute of our trip! Leonidas and Freddy helped us get in touch with a tour coordinator that helped plan our actives and provided us with a private chef that made our trip even more memorable! Getting back to the bnb after a full day and taking in the beautiful view and relaxing in the private pool was truly a gift. We would definitely recommend!

The accommodation is perfect, the house is beautiful, and the entrance and location are convenient. As a recommendation, there are already quite old items, the refrigerator doesn't cool, the microwave doesn't heat, the electric gate is slow, and it could use an upgrade. As a recommendation: We are a family of chefs, and we cook a lot. The supplies were used up quickly, for almost a full week, and I don't see why the guest should be advised to buy them. Also, put pool towels and bathroom towels out. They can't be the same, since this causes people to come in wet. Also, there are no bowls for salads or cups with lids. You also need to do the kitchen inventory again. Many things are missing, and the knives are not sharp. From then on, everything was perfect. It's a beautiful house, but it needs to be revamped with newer items. Thank you.
Host Response
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry that these observations weren't communicated to us during the stay, as our team is always available to attend to any needs. We would like to clarify that the refrigerator was checked and is working properly; the problem with the microwave was identified and will be taken care of. The property also has pool towels, which were even used during your stay. We will take the other suggestions into account to continue improving the accommodation. Thanks for your visit.

If you’re thinking about booking an airbnb in playa hermosa book with Freddy! I absolutely loved the space, everything was in working condition the pool stayed clean. Everything was exactly as described. The host were super flexible about check in times, send us a guide with all the best food spots that we appreciated. They warned us about the monkeys during our trip, and communicated to us about the area very well. The area was very close to jaco, Ubers were easy to order and we felt extra safe with the airbnb having an automated gate we could control on top of the hill. I would definitely book with him all over again, when I come back!

An excellent place, as described in the listing. The house is spacious, the pool is clean, and there are many rest areas. The truth is, for comfort, I would come back. The only thing, unfortunately, is the noise, since we had to be quiet from 7:00 PM to 10:00 AM. Even if we turned off the music and were just talking, they still asked us to be quiet. One of the neighbors came out to tell us to be quiet, not in a very nice way. I think there should be communication with the neighbors, at least agreeing on the noise until 10:00 PM, since one is going to enjoy and have a good time! Likewise, I would like to clarify that this is not the fault of the owners of the place, who informed us that we could not make noise during those hours. However, I thought it was too much that they did not even allow us to talk in the pool. In other words, it was useless that the pool had 24-hour access if we could not even talk! We also appreciate the attention the place gave us, as the place itself is beautiful!

We loved this place overall but had some issues with the pool. Carolina and her team tried to remedy the issue and were very prompt. The location and house are amazing. If the pool gets cleaned properly the place will be a 10/10

Our experience was spectacular. The villa is perfectly designed for friends or families who want, as a priority, rest, relaxation and healthy time together. My wife, our friends, and I were delighted with the place, but above all, with the service from Freddy and his team. We definitely want to come back soon.

A very nice and quiet house, perfect for a family trip. Keep in mind that parties are not allowed and there are specific hours for music! My only observation would be that the pool looked dirty when we arrived, but we still had a great time. Everyone was very attentive and communicated very quickly. We would definitely come back.

Excellent place, very clean and very complete. The only bad thing is the music. I had previously read messages that loud music was not allowed, but I was playing music at a moderate volume. Even so, there were complaints. But other than that, it is a very nice place to stay.

The place is excellent, communication with Freddy was very good, and the service was great. Yes, we had a couple of issues. The description mentioned something about not bringing a DJ or playing loud music. We know that we were told to lower the volume, but after doing so, a person was yelling at us rudely to be quiet. And on Sunday at 9 am, a similar situation happened, and that bothered us a lot because we were enjoying the place. It's a shame because the place is beautiful, the facilities were impeccable, and we were having a great time. But this situation with neighbors should be clearer in the description of the place so we know what to expect.
Host Response
Thank you very much for your comments and for highlighting the communication, the service, the facilities, and the cleanliness of the place. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We offer you a sincere apology for the situation that arose with the neighbors. We fully understand that the way the situation occurred may have been uncomfortable, and we are sorry that this affected your experience. For our part, we will contact the neighbors to discuss what happened and prevent this type of inconvenience from happening again. We really appreciate your visit and hope to welcome you again another time. Pura Vida☀️🌴

Our stay here was incredible and we will definitely visit again in the future. This location is perfect for whatever your plans are in the Jaco area. The location has the upmost privacy but within driving distance to the main town. The host was proactive and communicated well with us about our needs.

Perhaps it's good to specify that turning on the radio is not allowed, since the neighbors complained because the radio was on at a moderate volume. We had to turn it off completely.

Place was perfect for a long weekend getaway with friends. We each had our own room and bathroom which was nice. The pool was perfect during the day. We had a small issue with a sink on the lower level and Freddy had someone there to fix it for us same day! Will note that driveway is STEEP so a 4x4 is definitely needed if you are driving in and out of the house yourself. Near so many local stops and a ten minute ride to the beach where we saw perfect sunsets night after night. We’d easily stay here again.

Very private home, nestled inside a small green zone. Simple layout and has the required amenities to have a pleasant stay. Kitchen and 2 bedrooms upstairs. A small living space and 2 bed rooms downstairs. A small pool just to dip and relax. Host responded quickly to few minor issues we faced. Uber or taxi drivers always tend to miss the direction into the lane, so you have to guide them. Otherwise we had a good stay and enjoyed the property.

We were happy with the place. However, it is not recommended without a car. Unfortunately, the internet didn't work, but I think there were general network issues. Overall, we were satisfied. Check-in took a bit because we didn't receive the code for the keybox, but we were contacted after a short wait.
Host Response
Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you were generally satisfied with your stay. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience they experienced. At the time of your booking, the automatic message with the check-in instructions was not sent correctly, which caused the delay in checking in. Furthermore, at that time, we were experiencing a general internet service outage in the area, which prevented us from responding as quickly as usual. We greatly appreciate your understanding and take your feedback very seriously in order to continue improving the experience for our guests. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future under better conditions. Pura Vida☀️🌴

Super friendly , house looks just like the picture, only thing just be careful with the driveway , it’s just very steep , but other than that the whole experience was wonderful from the set up with transportation and giving us a lot of options for excursions.

The place is very spacious and nice, perfect for the family outing we did. It's the same as the photos, only there's no tub (but that's something we didn't need). It was very easy to communicate, they responded very quickly, the manager Carolina helped us several times with some issues, they are very helpful and friendly. It's very close to the beach, which is great. The cars are outside the property, however it feels like a safe place. There are some details to improve in the place to be 10/10, for example: The ceiling is made of wood and loose termites and black garbage which falls on the beds in the place where it happens the most is the room that is external, there is a bathroom door that is in a room which does not lock. The internet did not reach the room that is outside well. The air in the room is damaged, they came to repair it but it still did not work 100%, it did not cool enough, the good thing is that the room has large fans on the ceiling. We would definitely come back!

This Airbnb in Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica was nothing short of amazing. Just 10 minutes from Jacó, the location was perfect, close enough to everything, yet peaceful and private. The home itself was absolutely beautiful. Every single detail, right down to the furniture, was immaculate and designed to perfection. It was extremely clean, thoughtfully styled, and truly felt like a luxury retreat. I would 100% recommend this home and would definitely stay here again without hesitation. One of the highlights was the two back decks, which offer views you truly wouldn’t imagine. We had wildlife experiences right from the house—an iguana briefly came onto the deck, and we saw about 15 monkeys playing in the trees. It honestly felt like a private monkey excursion happening right in the backyard. Seeing that level of nature up close was surreal and unforgettable. Lastly, the hosts were incredible. They were attentive, professional, and checked in multiple times to make sure we were comfortable

My mother, daughter and I were lucky to spend a week in this incredibly beautiful place! The house and location are so lovely and we were very happy to have it as a home base. The beds are very comfortable and each bedroom has a bathroom. We loved getting up early and birdwatching and listening to the howler monkeys. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking. We enjoyed preparing meals and eating out. The location is perfect for exploring the central pacific coast with convenient proximity to Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio and superb beaches. Playas Mantas and Herradura are pretty calm and great for families. We rented a car and felt comfortable getting around even though we had a flat tire. Our hosts were immediately responsive when I reached out for assistance. The setting is private and we enjoyed cooling off in the pool. We hope to visit again!

The place is very nice, just like the photographs, spacious and well-equipped rooms. The house is quite spacious, as it is on one floor, if you are traveling with older adults or children, it is very accessible. It would be good to specify that the property's parking space does not have a gate as such. But the location is quite safe and it's a quiet place. Access to the house is easy by following the directions provided. The managers are always attentive to messages and needs. We returned very happy with the accommodation at Casa Paz!

The house is very nice and is just as it is in the photos, the location of the house is very good too. The only complaint is with the neighbors around the house. The neighbor in the back was making trouble all day and came to knock on our door around 6 pm because we had music, which we don't think is the most appropriate. In addition, the property allows him to look into Freddy's property and we don't think that has the privacy we are looking for.

The place overall is excellent and the naturality of the location is a plus. The only criticism I have is the hill once you enter the property is a bit dangerous to drive up when it’s raining because of the steepness and it’s slippery. I would still stay there again regardless because of the beauty of the location and property. Thank you for allowing me to stay!!

The house is beautiful and looks like the pictures. The contact persons always went out of their way to help us with problems, unfortunately we had far too many of them in the three days. The furniture, the couch, beds and the kitchen are very rickety and partially broken. The shower faucet is constantly off when operating. Two bathrooms didn't have warm water until the last day after the handyman was there, one. The bed linen in the annex was not clean. The pool was totally dairy, you couldn't even see the reason, parts of dead insects floated everywhere, I think because the filter performance of the cleaning system is much too low. The roof was leaking and dripping from the ceiling in the rain. We had a power outage for several hours until late at night. There was only one emergency light throughout the house, but it didn't work for long. The neighbor's emergency power unit was very noisy, sleeping was unthinkable. We wouldn't come again.
Host Response
Thank you for your feedback and for recognizing that our team did their best to assist you during your stay. We’re truly sorry to hear about the issues you experienced. Unfortunately, during your visit, the entire area was affected by unexpected power and water outages, which were completely out of our control. We understand how frustrating that must have been, and we truly regret the impact it had on your experience. That said, we’ve already taken steps to address the items within our control, including the pool, water heaters, and general maintenance, and are working with our team to ensure better backup systems in the future. We appreciate you staying with us and wish you all the best on your future travels. Best regards,

Overall great stay and comfortable for our group. However some cautionary items to be aware of. The driveway to reach to the top of the property is quite steep, and in the rain the car skidded and wouldn’t get to the top of the hill. Need to have a vehicle if you’re going in and out with luggage. Good bit of wildlife you will encounter in the rooms and bathroom. There is only a hot water heater in the main bathroom.

The accommodation was in good condition, clean and tidy, the rooms are spacious, the sheets were clean and the kitchen was quite equipped. A comfortable place to sleep, without noise from the street, you can see animals such as white face monkeys and raccoons. The only recommendation is the time of entry, since it is at 4pm but the check-out time if it is at 11am, what I suggest is that we enter a little earlier or leave a little later of the stay to take advantage of the day a little more.
