Studio in Playa Panama

Lisa was an amazing host. Very warm and welcoming. Upon arrival she was friendly and even baked us banana bread and had fresh cut pineapples for us. She showed us a map and recommended local areas. The rental is attached to her home, so it feels like you are renting a private section of a home with a separate exit, similar to having a neighbor. She was always friendly when we saw her. The place looks just like the photos. The room is like a studio apartment with a mini fridge, sink, coffee maker, and dishes but no kitchen. The pool area is gorgeous with an ocean view. It is a gated community on a mountaintop with security. Closest stores are in Playa Hermosa. The bed is comfortable, the bathroom is large, and the TV is about 32 inches. The shower water does not get very hot but that was fine given the climate. We did experience a significant ant issue on the final day which affected comfort. Lisa was very apologetic and mentioned the property is exterminated yearly. Thank you Lisa!

Lisa’s place was phenomenal! For the price and for the experience of staying in a Costa Rican community — five stars. Every morning I started my day taking a gorgeous neighborhood walk, saludando a los vecinos, and even playing with the neighborhood dogs! 🐶 The guards were some of the kindest people we met and at the end of our short stay it felt like we were saying goodbye to friends. We came for a wedding at El Mangroove and it was the easiest drive to and from! Plus Lisa was the kindest host we’ve ever had. Thank you Lisa and thank you Vistas del Pacifico!

We loved our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. The place is perfect for those looking for a quiet place. The bed is comfortable, everything was clean and well-equipped. The solarium is great too. The pool is even more beautiful than the pictures. The host is great, nice and responsive. Plus, she makes good banana bread.

Host Response

I’m happy that you are happy! Please come back!

Lisa was an absolutely amazing host, she was incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. She went above and beyond, even making us delicious homemade banana bread, which was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel right at home. The BnB itself was fantastic, very safe, quiet, and well-protected, which gave us great peace of mind. The views were amazing, and having access to the pool was a huge plus. Lisa also gave us access to her balcony, where we had the incredible opportunity to spot monkeys, which made the experience truly special and memorable. The space has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the overall atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. We couldn’t have asked for a better host or place to stay and would highly recommend this BnB to anyone visiting the area.

my stay here was such an amazing end to my trip in costa rica. the place is so comfortable and the pool is breathtaking. lisa went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. I loved birdwatching from the porch, at the pool, and especially the drive to the property which was just lovely. it is such a short drive to great restaurants (esp Hacienda BLU), and towns like Hermosa and Coco. I will definitely be staying here again to visit with Lisa and make another great start or end to my guanacaste adventures.

Great stay, Lisa is super friendly and welcoming. We stayed in the small studio not the main house and it worked good for the two nights. Kitchenette has coffee and a toaster oven no stove. Lisa left a delicious loaf of bread that was a great surprise! The community pool was great and located just across the street. You are up in the hills so you need to drive for everything. Local restaurants were good but limited budget options. Beautiful location and great host.
