3BR Villa in Punta Uva

Maura

Excellent, 2 weeks ago

Our family had a really lovely time here. The gardens around the pool are lush and beautiful, and we spotted plenty of wildlife while swimming. Beach is a short walk down the hill.

Very pleasant stay in the middle of the rainforest. Very clean house with amenities and air conditioning in both bedrooms and ceiling fans everywhere. We had the Ginger house. Cabinets in the bedrooms to store clothes and mosquito nets in the patio doors of the bedrooms and kitchen. Kitchen fairly well equipped with a gas stove. Access to the entrance is narrow and very steep; a 4x4 facilitates the climb. We found the entrance easier to maneuver when arriving from above. Note that Punta Uva is down the coast; for young and fit people, it can take about 5 minutes to walk, otherwise it takes a car. We loved our stay, the excursions were close by car. Grocery stores are a 5-minute drive away. César, the concierge, is on site and responds quickly to our requests. Incredible to hear the sounds of the jungle and see the macaws, hummingbirds and other animals. Thanks to our host for a memorable stay!

We enjoyed our stay! Beautiful villas and beautiful poolside. We saw toucans and green macaws while we were resting by the pool! Several amenities in the kitchen. The beds were very comfortable even the sofa bed for my boy. It's a 10-minute walk to the beach. The return is more difficult because of the big hill to climb, but it made us exercise! We appreciated the beach towels provided by the host. We used the same tuk tuk driver who came to pick us up directly from the villa. We wrote to him on WhatsApp. Count 5,000 colónes to go to town. Thanks to Cesar, the caretaker who is exemplary in his kindness.

We had a good experience with the villas. Zvezda was a good host and responsive quickly. Some things you should take note of are: the place comes ONLY with curtains in the deck outside and terrace. There are no curtains or black outs in any of the bedrooms and living rooms either ( where the sofa beds are) or in the bathroom of the first villa. The place is smaller in person than it looks in photos. The dish washer in the second villa with the great view does not work. Apart from that the experience was very pleasant, great view, beautiful property with pool,etc . Cesar that takes care of the property and lives there too is very responsive and helpful. The host is not that flexible tho. Just for you guys to know

Host Response

Dear Isa, thank you for taking the time to review your stay. I’m glad that you enjoyed at least some of it. I’m surprised that you gave us 3 stars as I was inspecting 1 star. The dishwasher was working. You should’ve asked César how to use it. The houses are not smaller. The pictures are realistic. We don’t use blackouts per other guests’ requests who want to enjoy the views waking up. I too gave you 3 stars. You were exhausting with your continued requests for earlier check in and later check out. Sand everywhere inside the houses and mess. You labeled me “inflexible host” although that I kept your dates blocked for quite some time to help you with your reservation payment. You showed a great disrespect, not only of our “quiet time”policy, but also of the surrounding neighbors who wanted to call the tourist police. Two nights in a row partying with loud music and noise till 4am and 5 am. Disturbing the caretakers’ rest, who wake up early to for their work. We will not host you again.
