Luxury Jungle Villa with Pool near Chiquita Beach - Houses for Rent in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Limon, Costa Rica

The house is wonderful. It's as shown in the photos. The truth is that it feels bad when you have to leave ;) Regarding the area, it is very quiet and there are good restaurants and a supermarket nearby. Regarding Monica, she has been very attentive, with perfect communication. In short, I would return to this house without hesitation.

La casa es una maravilla. Es tal como aparece en las fotos. La verdad es que sabe mal cuando uno tiene que irse ;) Respecto a la zona, es muy tranquila y cerca tiene buenos restaurantes y supermercado. Respecto a Mónica, ha estado muy antenta, perfecta en la comunicación. En resumen, volveria a esta casa sin dudarlo.

The place is as seen in the photos. Communication was good! The place is very comfortable for the family. The pool, as seen in the photos, is surrounded by nature, ideal for resting! I hope to return!

El lugar es como se ve en las fotos la comunicación fue buena! El lugar es muy cómodo para la familia,  la piscina como se ve en las fotos está  lleno de naturaleza ideal para descansar! Espero volver!

We loved our family stay in this house. It is equipped with everything you could need to spend a few days with your family. Very spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Beautiful pool. I recommend it!

Nos encantó nuestra estancia familiar en esta casa. Está equipada con todo lo que se podría necesitar para pasar unos días en familia. Muy amplia, cómoda y lindamente decorada. Hermosa piscina. Lo recomiendo!

We loved the house! It's beautiful and very comfortable, but the best part is the connection with nature. We spent a week there with our family and the days weren't enough. We never lacked anything. What's more, we didn't want to leave the house. Very important point: you DO NOT need air conditioning. Everything in perfect condition, very well equipped, and the location is very good, in the middle of everything. Highly recommended!!

Nos encantó la casa! Está hermosa y muy cómoda, pero lo mejor de todo es la conexión con la naturaleza. Pasamos una semana ahí con nuestra familia y los días no fueron suficientes,  nunca nos hizo falta nada. Es más, no queríamos salir de la casa. Punto muy importante, NO necesitas aire acondicionado. Todo en perfectas condiciones, muy bien equipada y la ubicación está muy buena, punto medio de todo. Recomendadisima!!

Very well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Quite nice, fresh and with a beautiful garden to spend the day enjoying the pool and nature. As seen in the photographs.

Muy bien equipada con todo lo necesario para una estancia cómoda. Bastante linda, fresca y con un jardín hermoso para pasar el día disfrutando la piscina y la naturaleza. Tal como se ve en las fotografías.

A beautiful house surrounded by nature... Just what you need to unwind and recharge.

Una casa hermosa rodeada de naturales.. Justo lo necesario para desconectarse y recargar.

Amazing place!! We saw lots of animals, walkable distance to restaurants and beach. The house is beautiful and surrounded by nature. I highly recommend!

This place is absolutely amazing!!! We cannot wait to rebook here. The host also helped book our transport from San Jose and two other tours. We cannot thank them enough for making our trip so amazing. We saw all the animals at the house!!!! Monkeys flying in the trees above us while in the pool. We saw so many red eyed tree frogs at night!!! Toucans up in the trees!!!! 10/10 expierence the house is STUNNING!!! I traveled with my husband and 7 year old and we had the best trip literally EVER

Stunning home that was perfect for our family of four. The garden was breathtaking, the pool was large enough for the kids to swim and play. The house itself is open and breezy and we didn’t want to ever leave. Easy walk to the beach, the market and great places to eat!!! Loved our time here!

It has everything you need and more, spacious design, very cool house, no need for air conditioning. What we enjoyed the most was being surrounded by trees, so we were visited by toucans, limpets, guans, guatusas, sloths, cariblancos, congos, blue frogs and more.

Tiene todo lo que necesitas y más, diseño espacioso, casa muy fresca, no hace falta el aire acondicionado. Lo que más disfrutamos fue estar rodeados de árboles, así que nos visitaron tucanes, lapas, pavas, guatusas, osos perezosos, cariblancos, congos, ranas azules y más.

We had the absolute best time at this house for two weeks. It's a wonderful location, and the house was fantastic. We had two small children with us and it was perfect for everyone. The property was gorgeous and lived up to the hype. We started to all wake up super early and sit outside to see what animals we would see. We saw sloths, toucans, green macaws, monkeys, lizards, frogs. Absolutely amazing. They also sent a cleaner twice while we were there which was very helpful. Thank you for a terrific time. We will be back!

We have stayed at Casa Ambar previously and knew we wanted to return. We brought family on this trip and they too enjoyed the house. We love the location, easy to walk to so many great food locations and the beach. We had visitors from the local wildlife including a sloth. The large bedrooms let the two families feel like they had their own space and the kids loved the pool.

The house is beautiful, identical to the pictures. It is super equipped, the directions to get in and check in very clear. The spotless and private place. I would return as often as I could.

La casa es hermosa, idéntica a las fotos. Está super equipada, las instrucciones para llegar y hacer check-in clarísimas. El lugar impecable y privado. Volvería todas las veces que pudiera.

Beautiful stay at the Ambar house. The environment is really spectacular, the jungle is in the background with all kinds of animals (monkeys, toucans, agoutis, etc.) there were also large spiders but they are only in their webs and if you do not bother them they are not a problem at all. The pool is very good, and the spaces inside the house are all very large and comfortable. The truth is we already want to go back, although the house is not cheap, we will evaluate it for next year. Thank you Monica and staff !!

Hermosa estadía en la casa Ambar. El entorno es realmente espectacular, la selva esta en el fondo con todo tipo de animalitos (monos, tucanes, aguaties, etc) también había grandes arañas pero solo están en sus telas y si no las molestas no son para nada un problema. La piscina muy buena, y los espacios dentro de la casa todos muy grandes y cómodos. La verdad ya tenemos ganas de volver, aunque no es barata la casa lo evaluaremos para el año que viene. Gracias Mónica y personal !!

If you’re looking to relax and enjoy a pool day surrounded by nature look no further. Keep in mind there’s no AC in the house but it is well ventilated and there’re plenty of fans provided. It can get warm if it is sunny so I wouldn’t recommend it if you have any medical condition or if you definitely prefer AC. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The house is beautiful, has a lot of space, the kitchen is equipped with everything you need and the pool area is perfect. It has a a great location, very close to super markets, restaurants, Puerto Viejo's downtown and of course to some of the most popular beaches of the area. I hope to visit again soon.

Nice place, comfortable, spacious, quite private, very well equipped, a place I would definitely come back to.

Lindo lugar, cómodo, espacioso, bastante privado, muy bien equipado, un lugar al que sin duda volvería.

Beautiful house near Puerto Viejo. Spacious, clean, and comfortable.

Casa preciosa cerca de Puerto Viejo. Amplia, limpia y cómoda.

We have stayed in this neighborhood before and we love the location. Ambar house is perfect for our family. The kitchen is fully stocked to cook meals, the bathrooms and bedrooms are great with plenty of airflow and fans. We enjoyed the pool when we were not at the beach. It is the perfect location to walk to local restaurants or the beach. I would recommend and would return.

We had a great time, we felt right at home. The house is close to everything. We'll be happy to go back!

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour, on s'est senti comme à la maison. La maison est à proximité de tout. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir.

Thank you, we are going to considered this feedback for sure :)

Amazing service! The house is incredible, beautiful and peaceful

The house has a spectacular structure, very spacious, comfortable and fresh, ideal for resting and sharing as a group. The spaces are well distributed and the architecture really stands out. However, some cleaning details were missing and certain basic items such as kitchen towels were not available, which would be important to improve to provide a more complete experience. Still, the place has a lot of potential and with small adjustments it could be excellent.

La casa tiene una estructura espectacular, muy amplia, cómoda y fresca, ideal para descansar y compartir en grupo. Los espacios están bien distribuidos y la arquitectura realmente destaca. Sin embargo, faltaron algunos detalles de limpieza y no había disponibles ciertos objetos básicos como toallas de cocina, lo cual sería importante mejorar para brindar una experiencia más completa. Aun así, el lugar tiene mucho potencial y con pequeños ajustes podría ser excelente.

Gracias por el feedback e informados, vamos a revisar esos puntos

The place was close to all beaches in the area.  The place excited our expectations

The house is quite spacious, with lots of natural light, ventilation, well-equipped, large and clean pool. Surrounded by nature, you can see monkeys and many birds. The only thing that needs to be changed are the showers and faucets in the bathrooms, and they are very rusty. But the place is very nice, we'll definitely go back.

La casa bastante amplia, con mucha luz natural, ventilación,  bien equipada,  piscina grande y limpia. Rodeada de  mucha naturaleza, se pueden observar monos  y muchas aves. Lo único que se debe cambiar son las duchas y grifería de los baños y están muy oxidadas. Pero el lugar muy lindo, de fijo volvemos a ir.

A very nice place, close to everything, the pool is the best part of this house.  It needs some details to make it "Luxury" as the description says, for example, the sinks are rusty and the showers need to be improved, but overall it's a good place.

Un lugar muy bonito,  cerca de todo, la  piscina es de lo mejor en esta casa.  Hacen falta detalles para que sea "Luxury" como dice la descripción, por ejemplo, los lavabos están oxidados y las duchas hay que mejorar, pero en general es un buen lugar.

Everything was great and as described. Monica was very responsive and good to communicate with. We liked the nature and lots of animals around us. We will for sure come back. Thank you!

Beautiful place! The area is very strategic by car. The house is beautiful and despite not having A/C we never found it necessary. Monica's service was very friendly! We definitely want to come back!

Bello lugar! La zona muy estratégica en carro. La casa es preciosa y a pesar de no contar con A/C nunca lo encontramos necesario. Muy amable la atención de Mónica! Definitivamente queremos volver!

Great place. Surrounded by nature. The house has all the amenities and the pool is amazing. Close to the best beaches. 100% recommended.

Excelente lugar. Inmerso en la naturaleza. La casa cuenta con todas las comodidades y la piscina es increíble. Cerca de las mejores playas. 100 % recomendado.

We have stayed several times in the house and it is very comfortable, it has everything you need to spend it at home. The location is excellent!

Nos hemos hospedado varias veces en la casa y es muy cómoda, tiene todo lo necesario para pasarla como en casa. La ubicación es excelente!

A quiet and private place, where you can reach all the beautiful beaches of Porto Viejo no problem

Un lugar tranquilo y privado, donde se puede llegar a todas las hermosas playas de puerto viejo sin problema

The spectacular house, Monica's service is really friendly. We had the idea of resting from the noise of the city and right next to the house they were doing a construction that would pick us up every day at 6:00 am with everything that entails, workers, machinery and so on. So we didn't achieve our goal. Everything else is fine.

La casa espectacular, la atención de Monica realmente cordial. Teníamos la idea de descansar del ruido de la cuidad y justo a la par de la casa estaban haciendo una construcción que nos levantaba todos los días a las 6:00 am con todo lo que conlleva, trabajadores, maquinaria y demás. Así que no logramos nuestro objetivo. Todo lo demás muy bien.

Gracias por su retroalimentación. Estamos a la espera de que la construcción cercana termine pronto. Sabemos que puede resultar molesto, y por eso hemos incluido esta información en la descripción de la casa, para que los huéspedes puedan tomar una decisión informada sobre si es el lugar ideal para sus vacaciones.

I think it's the best airbnb I've stayed at. The house is beautiful, the giant and private pool, excellent lighting, high ceilings, it feels cool even though it was hot, better equipped than I expected, safe, close to Playa Chiquita. We saw frogs, toucans, guatuzas and other animals in the garden.

Creo que es el mejor airbnb en el que me he hospedado. La casa es hermosa, la piscina gigante y privada, la iluminación excelente, techos altos, se siente fresca a pesar de que hacía calor, mejor equipada de lo que esperaba, segura, cerca de playa Chiquita. Vimos ranitas, tucanes, guatuzas y otros animales en el jardín.

Beautiful house, tastefully appointed and decorated. Great location, near all the nicest beaches and restaurants. Awesome place to stay!

The house is beautiful and the location convenient, but the lack of air conditioning makes the stay not comfortable.

La casa es bella y la ubicación conveniente, pero la falta de aire acondicionado hace que la estadía no sea confortable.

Very good place, hopefully it will be available for next time; my family and friends have a very quiet time at ease

Muy buen lugar, ojalá esté disponible para la próxima vez; mi familia y amigos la pasamos muy tranquilos muy a gusto

The villa is very beautiful and clean, we wake up to the sound of nature every morning ( birds, howler monkeys, and lot of other creatures). We didn’t rent a car, we walked back from restaurants every night, and there’s no light on the path, dark, and the road is not paved, occasionally you see spider webs, or animals coming out, it’s an experience, not to be negative, just be prepared and have flashlights with you.

A wonderful house in great nature! You were accompanied by jungle music while you were there - just wonderful! The house, the pool- all beautiful! Just a few 100 meters to a wonderful beach, very good restaurants around the corner. You were completely on your own, but could be quickly in civilization. Kitchen fully furnished, you will find everything you need in the house. If you don't feel comfortable here, you can't help! Only tip: bring a hairdryer and ask for more towels if necessary. We'd love to come back and highly recommend this house!

Ein wunderbares Haus in großartiger Natur! Man wurde begleitet von Dschungelmusik während man dort war- einfach herrlich! Das Haus, der Pool- alles wunderschön! Nur ein paar 100Meter zu einem wunderbaren Strand, sehr gute Restaurants um die Ecke. Man war ganz für sich, konnte aber schnell in der Zivilisation sein. Küche vollständig eingerichtet, man findet im Haus alles, was man benötigt. Wer sich hier nicht wohl fühlt dem ist nicht zu helfen! Einziger Tipp: Fön mitbringen und ggf nach mehr Handtüchern fragen. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder und empfehlen dieses Haus wärmstens weiter!

Exelente ubicación, espectacular lugar!!!

Beautiful house, nice and big pool. The house does not have fence but we didn't feel unsafe. There are many trees around so you feel in the middle of the jungle. Monica's response was great, very fast and very clear.

Excellent stay. Extremely nice place with everything you need for a family. Close and at the same time away from everything. It was beautiful to wake up to the birds singing and feel the raindrops so close to one.

Excelente estadía. Lugar sumamente bonito y con todo lo necesario para pasarla bien en familia. Cerca y a la vez lejos de todo. Fue hermoso despertar con el canto de las aves y sentir las gotas de lluvia tan cerca de uno.

It is a nice place to stay and nice location

Excellent place, we will definitely be back.

We rested really well in casa ambar, it is a very quiet area where you can observe birds, howler monkeys and many other animals. We felt very secure and at peace. We'll be back, thank you for everything🫶

On s'est vraiment bien reposé dans casa ambar, c'est un quartier très calme où on peut observer des oiseaux, les singes hurleurs et plein d autres animeaux. On s'est senti très sécurisé et en paix. On vas revenir, merci pour tout🫶

excellent beautiful place property, the pool is a great plus, the only bad thing was that the TV didn't work and when going with children it is otherwise spectacular necessary

excelente lugar hermosa propiedad, la piscina es un plus genial, lo único malo fue que no funcionó la TV y al ir con niños es necesaria por lo demás espectacular

Nice and private house with a pool however it’s not 3 bedrooms - it’s actually 2 bdrms and a loft with no privacy nor curtains. Also, the bed cover in the loft was stained and beds are very uncomfortable - super hard. Despite being charged a cleaning fee you will be requested to wash all kitchenware and place back where you found it, that’s probably why some dishes were dirty. Would definitely seek other options in the area. Please note there is a retainer/deposit of $300 which is not advertised nor requires your consent.

My family and I absolutely loved this Airbnb. Private pool middle of a lot of greenery. The unit was spotless spacious and simply beautiful. There is no AC but you can cook off by pool. Plenty of restaurants on beach and activities. Will definitely recommend.

A very complete super bonitay house! Thank you so much for the beautiful experience! 10/10 stay

Una casa super bonitay muy completa! Muchas gracias por la experiencia tan bonita! Estadía 10/10

Great location, the hostess communicated very well. Came with towels and soap and coffee as well.

We enjoyed our stay highly recommend in great location

Really peaceful little neighborhood off the main road. House is very modern with beautiful views of the pool and forest. Saw lots of monkeys and a sloth in the mornings. Would definitely stay again!

This house is perfect! The living room is spacious and bright. The pool Is excellent and feels like you are in the middle of the jungle. At the same time is close drive to Everything. Well worth the price.

The house was amazing. Beautiful surroundings. They gave us an unopened jug of water. More than enough for our stay. Shower had hot and cold water. The pool was refreshing to cool off in or a nice morning dip to wake up. I don’t feel like I was over promised and under delivered. The house and surrounding were beautiful. We had a troupe of howler monkeys hang out in the tree above the drive way as well as a three fingered sloth cross the driveway to the same tree.

The house is amazing in a fabulous location in front of the jungle. Be aware that you'll here a lot of nice sounds from it. Surroundings are great. Fantastic pool with a refreshing water, at the begging of FEB, 26 degrees. Inside the house, everything is fantastic. Kitchen very very well quipped. Fans are available. AC not available but not needed. Very good WIFI. Close to the beaches, restaurants and shops. Highly recommended, especially for the families with kids / teenagers. When being at the pool, easily you can observe birds, monkeys, lizards, etc.

Great place.. Matches the description. Great kitchen with all you need. Lots of animals living around the house… Mathias was great helping us with our questions.

We had a very nice time at the place. We particularly liked the quiet location and the many animals we could watch from the property (iguanas, howler monkeys, sloths, aras...)

Wir hatten ein sehr schöne Zeit in der Unterkunft. Besonders gefallen hat uns die ruhige Lage und die vielen Tiere die wir vom Anwesen aus beobachten konnten (Leguane, brüllaffen, Faultiere, aras…)

Wonderful stay. Perfect base. Very quiet. Gardens filled with animals. We found a cute harmless snake. Tons of red eye tree frogs. A sloth. Macaws etc.

Great and beautiful place. Only minus are the bed mattresses were unfortunately very bad and probablly have seen better days. Otherwise, I can greatly recommend the place and location.

Hola Patrick, we are really sorry you didn't like the mattresses :( Actually they have less than 4 months, we bought them new at the end of 2022, high quality orthopedic mattresses and very expensive for our guest comfort. Even though we know a mattress is a personal thing, we want all our guest to have a great night sleep and good rest. All the best for you!

We loved the house, the pool area and the jungle surrounding the property were amazing. The interior was spacious and house was clean and fresh. The kitchen was fully equipped, the appliances were great. People need to be prepared for the sounds of the jungle as the bedrooms do not have proper walls (the outer walls are wooden frames with insect netting wrapped around them). We had no problem with it, we loved it and added an extra charm to our nights and immersive jungle feeling. On our first night there was a power cut (including water), and the house was not equipped with candles or flashlights. As there was no power, there was no wifi and there wasn't signal either in the area, so it was very hard to get in touch with the hosts. Overall we felt a bit unsafe as there is no actual gate to the property. However, the team that managed the property was quick to rectify the situation and sent an emergency light the next morning.

We stayed at Casa Ambar from December 24, 2022 to January 4, 2023.  We were a family of 4 (teenagers 14 and 17).  The house was just as described. Nati recommended Chef Ashton which we had come into the house on December 25th to cook us a home cooked meal which was delicious.  We rented a golf cart to tour for the first 3 days then rented quads for the remainder of our vacation.  If you plan on touring and checking out various beaches and restaurants from Puerto Viejo to Manzanillo I would highly  recommend either golf carts or quads.  We saw monkeys, toucans and lizards in the jungle surrounding the house.  Would be nice in the upstairs den bedroom area if there was some window coverings.  Overall we enjoyed our vacation at Casa Ambar and would return to see other parts of Costa Rica.  Pure Vida

The villa was clean, spacious and private - spot on for a family vacation. The pool is a fantastic addition and set in a well maintained garden, with a few furry friends  to sit and watch. The kitchen was also very well equipped. Nati was a fantastic communicator from start to finish - friendly, accommodating and very thorough. The remainder of the team were also super friendly, all of which added to a very enjoyable stay.

Home is in an excellent location. Very entwined with nature. That does have its own challenges. Be prepared to have bugs in the home. They are not in your face, but be prepared to see some around the house throughout your stay. Facility is great, very good home design. Great pool, and amenities around the home. There is a lot of outside noise due to there being screened walls but that’s the beauty of it as well. You get to have nature sounds right in your home. Minor updates would go a long way with this home. You can tell some of the items and fixtures are dated. Overall, I’m satisfied with my stay at home.

We had such a lovely time at this house! The kids had a blast playing at the pool and we saw monkeys, sloths, toucans, and so much more right from it. House is so well appointed and enjoyable. Location is amazing. We can’t wait until we can come back!

Nice and comfortable house. It is well reflected in the photographs. It's important to note that the room upstairs is pretty hot.

Casa linda y cómoda. Se refleja bien en las fotografías. Importante tomar en cuenta que el cuarto del piso de arriba es bastante caliente.

Beautiful place, close to everything with beautiful beaches just a few steps away and multiple dining options. The house is beautiful and comfortable, surrounded by nature.

Hermoso lugar, cerca de todo con playas hermosas a unos cuantos pasos y múltiples opciones gastronómicas. La casa es hermosa y cómoda, rodeada de naturaleza.

The house is beautiful and close to restaurants and beaches. The access is tricky as it has non-paved road, but it’s part of the adventure. The place is surrounded by nature and wild animals. It’s amazing. Energy shortages in the area are common and there is no cellphone reception at the house. A note in case you plan to work from there. Communication and response from the host are easy and fast.

We loved our stay. The home was clean and beautiful, the location was great. There are a troop of howler monkeys in the area which I loved, but they got pretty loud on several nights. The hosts were very accommodating and available. Would happily return

This house is charming, well maintained and management is responsive! It’s a great spot for rest and relaxation. The upper bedroom could use a standing circulating fan like the other two bedrooms have as it does get warmer up there even with the windows open. It’s a wonderful spot!

A really great place with a large pool. The garden is like a jungle, which is really noisy at night. The house could use some love and renovation in a few places. Due to the open construction, there are always a few insects in the house which did not disturb us any further. Nevertheless, the hosts are super nice and the cleanliness and function of the house was very great. We enjoyed the pool and the sweet agutis in the garden very much. We would come back:)

Ein wirklich toller Ort mit großen Pool. Der Garten gleicht einem Dschungel was in der Nacht wirklich laut ist. Das Haus könnte an einigen Stellen etwas Liebe und Renovierung vertragen. Durch die offene Bauweise sind auch immer ein paar Insekten im Haus was uns nicht weiter gestört hat. Dennoch die Gastgeber sind super nett und die Sauberkeit und Funktion des Hauses war sehr toll. Wir haben den Pool und die süßen Agutis im Garten sehr genossen. Wir würden wieder kommen :)

This house is in the middle of jungle,but just 500 m from the ocean. Amazing experience. First day saw sloth on the tree, above the house, green frog just where chilling buy the door , Ara’s flying every morning,monkeys morning wake up, and much more. Communication,service,place, atmosphere- we could not have better for the last days in Costa Rica. We have been travelling more then 10 days all over,and final destination was by the ocean- best choice. Happy the moon and back.

Very nice and quiet place. We enjoyed our stay a lot. well equipped kitchen as well and the communication was also nice and fast. Definitely would recommend this place

We stayed here 8 nights with our two tiny kids and we absolutely loved it. We used the two downstairs bedrooms and didn’t bother with upstairs, although that is also lovely as a mezzanine / bedroom space. The house and pool are both wonderful. It is huge and open plan and very easy to live in. Lots of wildlife hanging around. The kitchen is very well equipped, and the master bedroom and en suite felt luxurious. There’s no bath. The walls are mostly netted screens not glass, which means it’s noisy especially around dawn - the howler monkeys are loud! Good idea to bring ear plugs. But it’s also amazing to listen to all the animals at night. The area is great for restaurants and bars. Punta Uva was our favourite beach. You’ll either need a car or to hire a bike. Cahuita national park was a highlight, and the jaguar sanctuary. Very much recommend this house and the area - was an absolute holiday highlight.

Very good Airbnb with a perfect location and great amenities. However, you have to take care of the house a little. The curtains had stains everywhere and the garden should be well maintained . Otherwise the house is unique

Sehr gute Airbnb mit einer perfekten Lage und tollen Ausstattung. Jedoch muss man sich um das Haus etwas kümmern. Die Vorhänge hatten Flecken überall waren Spinnennetze und der Garten gehört gepflegt . Ansonsten ist das Haus einzigartig

The house is stunning. Amazing, private location with a jungle backdrop and minutes walk to a stunning beach as well as cute restaurants and grocery store. The home itself is gorgeous, spacious, clean and comfortable. The screen feature is delightful as you fall asleep to the sounds of the rainforest. But to top it off Nati and team made everything so easy. Her communication was the best I’ve ever experienced. She responded instantly to our variety of inquiries and was helpful beyond words going above and beyond. My family will 100% be back.

Thank you so much for the amazing review!!!   It was a pleasure to help you and make everything so easy for you. I am more than happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Casa Ambar.   Wishing you all the best for 2022!!  Warm Regards, Nati

Very nice house surrounded by nature, You can see toucans, guatusas, lapas, the pool is the best with that view and that peace that is breathed. The rooms are very clean, comfortable, me if I would put extra fans in each room because sometimes the ceiling one is not enough. Other things to consider: maintenance of many lights in the house as it is burned out, it is a very large failure that the pool does not have lights to make use of it at night, and the room that is on the second floor should have curtains. The pans also need a change, they are very old and all the food sticks. The house's location is very good, 1 km away from Playa UVA and Playa Chiquita Front. Overall everything was great, if I don't recommend going to old port in long weekend time or for important dates as everything collapses and makes the experience not so good

Casa muy linda rodeada de naturaleza, Se ven tucanes, guatusas, lapas, la piscina es lo mejor con esa vista y esa paz que se respira. Los cuartos están bien limpios, cómodos, yo si pondría ventiladores adicionales en cada cuarto porque a veces el de techo no es suficiente. Otros aspectos a considerar: mantenimiento de muchas luces de la casa ya que están quemadas, es un fallo muy grande que la piscina no tenga luces para poder hacer uso de la misma en las noches, y el cuarto q está en el segundo piso debería de tener cortinas. Los sartenes también necesitan un cambio, están muy viejos y toda la comida se pega. La ubicación de la casa es muy buena, a 1 km de playa uva y al frente de playa chiquita. En general todo estuvo muy bien, si no les recomiendo que vayan a puerto viejo en época de fin de semana largo o para fechas importantes ya que todo colapsa y hace que la experiencia no sea tan buena

An excellent house with a private pool in a very cool natural setting. The rooms are very spacious, but on the top floor it's very hot and it doesn't have a bathroom. Old, used cookware.

Una casa excelente con una piscina privada en un entorno natural muy chulo. Las habitaciones son muy amplias, pero en la del piso superior hace mucha calor y no tiene baño. Los utensilios de cocina viejos y usados.

beautiful house, worth going. 100%recommended

hermosa casa, vale la pena ir. 100%recomendado

A nice house with everything you need to have a good time. Recommended!

Una casa linda con todo lo necesario para pasarla bien. Recomendada!

The house, location, and service is very good. Second time I visit the house, I'm happy to love it.

La casa, ubicación, y atención es muy buena. Segunda vez que visito la casa, me encanta.

A nice house, but with an old and dirty kitchen, in the rooms there are no windows but an mosquito fabric that in most places is broken and due to the location of the house any bug can enter. Wifi works very badly. Nice pool and setting. 100% car required.

Una casa bonita, pero con una cocina antigua y sucia, en las habitaciones no hay ventanas sino una tela antimosquitos que en la mayoría de sitios esta rota y por la ubicación de la casa puede entrar cualquier bicho. El wifi funciona muy mal. Bonita piscina y entorno. Necesario coche 100%.

Beautiful house, looks better than the photos, it is worth going  to relax for a weekend, the place is very quiet and private

Hermosa casa, luce mejor que en las fotos, vale la pena ir  a relajarse un fin de semana, el lugar es muy tranquilo y privado

This place was a 10/10 for me and my friends. The house is beautiful and in a great location. The pool was a treat and we saw lots of wildlife while we lounged at the pool. Very eco friendly as well which is much appreciated.

We stayed at this house 6 1/2 years ago and have wonderful memories. The location is nice because it is across from Playa Chiquita, a short bike ride to Playa Cocles where my oldest surfed and my youngest boogie boarded. There is a market a short walk from the house and many restaurants. There is no air conditioning or glass in the bedrooms but that was what we loved - we felt like we were in the jungle and could hear the monkeys, birds so clearly. Pool is huge and we loved swimming in it after a long day at the beach!

100% recommended, you won't regret it, the house is a joke and the pool is delicious.

100% recomendado, no se van a arrepentir, la casa es un chuzo y la piscina es deliciosa.

The location and place were amazing. Looking forward to come back.

The house is very nice, surrounded by nature; we really enjoyed the monkeys and other species that visited us. The service was very good.

La casa es muy linda, rodeada de naturaleza; disfrutamos mucho de los monos y otras especies que nos visitaron. La atención fue muy buena.

A perfect place to spend the weekend, whether with family or friends, very attentive, lots of privacy and excellent facilities, I would come back a thousand times.

Un lugar perfecto para pasar el fin de semana, ya sea en familia o entre amigos, muy atentos, mucha privacidad y excelentes instalaciones, volvería mil veces.

The place is very nice, it's better than what you see in the photos

El lugar muy bonito, es mejor de lo que se ve en las fotos
