I thought the place was very nice. It was clean, private and peaceful. You could also walk to local restaurants and the beach was a short drive away (you could also walk it if you like). The hosts were very responsive and welcoming, I would stay there again in the future.

I stayed at this place through Airbnb and it was really a wonderful experience. The room is quite nice, it even looks better in person than in the pictures. The structure is modern and very well designed, which makes the stay comfortable and pleasant. Outside the room there is a hammock perfect for resting and enjoying the natural environment. The area is surrounded by nature and is currently being reforested, which gives it a very special atmosphere. During our stay we had the incredible experience of seeing a family of howler monkeys pass just a meter from the room, something really magical. The pool is phenomenal, very relaxing and perfect for disconnecting. In addition, the hosts were very friendly and allowed me to stay a few extra hours, which is greatly appreciated when you are traveling. The location is also excellent: it is very close to Playa Negra, which you can even walk to, and there are several delicious restaurants in the

Me hospedé en este lugar a través de Airbnb y realmente fue una experiencia maravillosa. El cuarto es bastante bonito, incluso se ve mejor en persona que en las fotografías. La estructura es moderna y muy bien diseñada, lo que hace que la estadía sea cómoda y agradable. Afuera del cuarto hay una hamaca perfecta para descansar y disfrutar del entorno natural. El área está rodeada de naturaleza y actualmente están reforestando la zona, lo cual le da un ambiente muy especial. Durante nuestra estadía tuvimos la increíble experiencia de ver una familia de monos congos pasar a apenas un metro del cuarto, algo realmente mágico. La piscina es fenomenal, muy relajante y perfecta para desconectarse. Además, los anfitriones fueron muy amables y me permitieron quedarme unas horas adicionales, lo cual se agradece mucho cuando uno está viajando. La ubicación también es excelente: está muy cerca de Playa Negra, a la que incluso se puede llegar caminando, y hay varios restaurantes deliciosos en los

Thank you very much Jessica. What you write gives us motivation to continue working to maintain this place. We are nature lovers and we like to see our guests enjoy and admire the wildlife we have on the property. Hope to see you back here soon:)

Another amazing stay at Mango house!  Peaceful and relaxing clean and comfortable.  Playa Negra is one our favorite towns and beach.  Highly recommend

Ted again a great moment with you guys here. Wish you could stay longer! See you soon

Pura Vida at its best!!! Super clean comfortable and quiet.  Great location and charming with responsive and kind hosts.  Everything you need and Just a super cool and enjoyable experience.   Book it you won't be sorry.

Ted As always it was a pleasure having you here.

Los Nancites was the perfect spot for us. Beautiful, quiet and private. Looked exactly like the photos and everything was as described. The garden and pool area were even better than anticipated. The hosts were kind and welcoming. Located very close to a small grocery store and lots of good restaurants. So peaceful. 5 minute drive to beach. We will for sure be back!

Nicole it was a great pleasure to have you here. We are glad you had a good time here and are happy to seeing you again anytime!

A great place to stay close to the beach with great sunsets. There was plenty of shade and a great pool. Perfect for staying with children. We spontaneously stayed 2 nights longer and would be happy to come back.

Eine tolle Unterkunft in der Nähe vom Strand mit tollen Sonnenuntergängen. Es gab genug Schatten und einen tollen Pool. Perfekt für einen Aufenthalt mit Kindern. Wir sind spontan 2. Nächte länger geblieben und kommen gern wieder.

Thanx Lisa It was a real pleasure to know you. We are happy to read this comment. It is a great source of motivation for us and we'll keep doing our best to let people enjoy this place as much as we do... Kind regards Caro and Sylvain

Comfortable, spacious with high ceilings and all the necessary cooking utensils.

Cómodo, espacioso con techos altos y todos los utensilios necesarios para cocinar.

Muchas gracias Nat, esperemos verle pronto aqui.

Stayed here for about 5 days and it was so wonderful. Luckily we didn’t have anyone staying directly next door to us so it was very private, however it’s private enough anyway if someone is staying next door. Very close to some very beautiful beaches at Playa Negra and Playa Avellanas. The area also had some nice cafes and little restaurants we were happy to visit. Close little market nearby as well. If you want quiet, private beaches and to surf (probably beginner - intermediate) then I can’t recommend this place enough. Honestly don’t have anything too negative to say about this place. It’s right in the woods so a decent amount of bugs are to be expected. If you can pack a thermarest or mattress foam I would recommend doing so. Our only complaint would be the spring mattress, but even then, you’re so tired by the end of the day it doesn’t matter too much!

This stay was my third at Los Nancites. I love the aesthetic of the buildings - so simple and clean - and the grounds are lovely. I always see tons of birds, and sometimes monkeys. It is quiet. A little oasis in Playa Negra and a great starting point for all sorts of adventures. Christian and his family are welcoming and friendly hosts.

What a nice spot Los Nancites is The location is lovely, very closed to the beach and the area is not overwhelmed by tourists The grounds are very well kept nice and quiet and the casitas absolutely a gem. And we are so thankful for the understanding of our personal situation Couldn’t recommend Los Nancites more, we will definitely be back!

Loved our beautiful studio in such a peaceful setting. The pool was amazing to swim in while gazing at the pretty flowers and tropical trees all around. I would definitely stay here again. The entire area is all dirt roads but they are in good condition and fine for a passenger car but it does mean that anything not very close does take a long time to get too. This place is best to just settle in and enjoy Playa Negra. There are good food options and a lovely beach that is very swimmable.

A tropical oasis near excellent beaches, many good restaurants but most of all some truly amazing people who have made playa negra their home

Los Nancites is a treasure in Playa Negra. We can't wait to come back! It is super close to the liquor/grocery store, which has all you need for a comfortable stay and is close to some great breakfast and coffee shops as well. The pool is amazing and the room has everything we needed! Hospitality was amazing and was an excellent value for the price. There's nothing better than waking up, walking outside to lay in the hammock and enjoy the sounds of the morning. 100% recommend this stay!

Thank you Lillia It is very rewarding to read your comment and realize the same small things are as important for us and for you. It is true that enjoying the sounds of nature is one of those things that made us love this place and choose to stay here... Have a good trip and see you soon

We loved our stay at Casa Mango. Quiet, super clean, and lovely touches all around. Small kitchen area but with everything you'd need to prepare a quick meal. Very kid-friendly. Our toddler enjoyed hanging out in the hammock and dipping into the pool on just about every occasion. The garden setting is lovely and it's only a short ride by car to the beach at Playa Negra.

If you are looking for a quiet retreat in a beautiful and serene setting then this is the place for you! Wake up to monkeys in the trees and tropical birds singing, all while getting great recommendations from the hosts Sylvain and Caroline on things to do and see while in Playa Negra. I cannot recommend this place enough, it was one of the best airbnb experiences I have had yet.

Great place, Great people and amazing hospitality. This little resort type is owned  by a really nice family who made us feel welcomed. The whole family was ready to help for every issue you could possibly have. We loved this place and will definitely be returning

Thank you for visiting. It feels realy good sharing this place and it's little secrets with people who are likely to appreciate. We hope to seeing you again soon

The place is super clean an amenities are very good! The property itself is very cute and you can see birds around the trees all day. The place is close to the beach, but since we went during the dry season, there was no way we could walk to the beach, we would get completely dusted. The closest beach is Playa Negra, which is good for surfing and not so crowded. The pool area is cute, we never used it since we spent our days at the Costa Rican beaches. The kitchen is somewhat complete to someone that wants to cook during the time there. Since I love to cook, this place was amazing for me, we had pleasant morning or afternoon meals at the table outside the place! Very important in Costa Rica, this place has working air condition! There are two small stores at walking distance, but to buy real groceries you have to go a little far. It was very easy to talk to Christian or Caroline, they would help us on anything we needed. We spent an amazing time there!

Great accommodation, tranquility assured, in the middle of nature, near a magnificent quiet beach. Christian and his wife are welcoming and adorable!  I would recommend it in a second

Super logement, tranquillité assurée, au milieu de la nature, près d’une magnifique plage tranquille. Christian et sa conjointe sont accueillants et adorables!  Je recommande sans hésiter

Nice quite space for a couple days of retreat. The hosts greeted and then didn’t see much of them afterwards, which for me was more than enough. Open WiFi, just look for network called LOS_NANCITES. I’m local so I didn’t ask for any recommendations, you can’t go wrong using Foursquare and TripAdvisor. It has a nice pool and hammocks for resting in the afternoon. I appreciated the nicely equipped kitchen for a quick snack as restaurants are a bit far. A small car can make it around, but if you want to venture around to secluded beaches bring in a 4x4. Overall I enjoyed the stay. Thanks a lot Christian. Would go back in the future.

Everything we expected and more. A truly relaxing natural setting. Exceptionally well maintained.

Beautiful place, very comfortable, private and quiet. Christian was great with us!

Muchas gracias Marisol seria un placer alojar Uds de nuevo cuando quiere! Saludos cordiales Christian

A beautiful place to stay. I enjoyed the scenic route there and the authenticity.

Friendly staff, good location, and cozy quiet place!

This is such an awesome place for the price and what you get!  Los Nancites is a 5 minute druve from the beach, walking distance from really fabulous restaurants, and the perfect retreat away from the chaotic world. Unlike many places in Costa Rica, there is HOT water and the toilets can flush TP with no problem.  We are definitely coming back :)

Anytime you want to come back, you are welcome.

This is my second trip to Costa Rica, my first stay with Christian and it went amazingly well. Upon arrival I was greeted and shown to Mango, my casa for the stay. It's clean, industrial feel with all concrete and beautiful wood ceiling felt very cozy. The grounds are well laid out and the pool is amazing. A fridge, coffee maker, hot plate and blender are all there to use, along with basic kitchen necessities. Within walking distance is a small grocery store so it's possible to make food at "home" instead of eating all meals out. If you're looking for a quiet off the beaten path place to decompress, relax and have easy, instant access to beaches, without being terribly far from the Liberian Airport or driving further south to Nosara and some of the other great surf / yoga spots. Christian couldn't have been more kind and informative during my stay, he's a truly kind gentleman and I hope our paths cross again soon.

Great! I loved the place and would definitely come back.

Genial! El lugar me encantó y sin duda alguna regresaría.

Gracias Marcela. Hasta luego con mucho gusto

Very nice place, private, quiet and safe!! Just what I was looking for to start my 2017 in relaxation mode!! 

Los Nancites is a really nice place to stay. Christian and his wife are extremely nice and helpful. They will make sure you have everything you need in order to be comfortable and happy at their place. The facilities were really clean and everything was great about Los Nancites. 

Muchas gracias Andres, por su comentario. Fue un placer de alojar Usted. Ustedes están bienvenidos a Los nancites cuando quieren! Saludos cordiales Christian

Los Nancites is a very charming place to stay, even considering we came during the dry season. We stayed in Mango, a perfect lil cute studio, just right for me and my bf. Christian, Ani, and Will were very hospitable. We'd definitely recommend for anyone looking for a cute, relaxing place to get away  to come here, Los Nancites!!

The studio was perfect.  Had everything you could need including a full fridge, microwave, and hot plate, as well as dishes, etc.  The property was really lovely and quiet as well.  I would recommend renting a car if you plan to go anywhere other than just Playa Negra.  

thank you so much, Taylor, for your good comment, come back "los nancites" as soon as you want!  regards Christian

Los Nancites is like an oasis in the desert. The pool and the grounds are well-tended, my casita was immaculate and built solid--and it had screens in every window. Unusual for rentals in CR. 

Thank you Garth, we hope to see you again. You are a perfect guest.

Great studio. Better than in pictures. Ultra clean. Everything is functional Bring your soap/dishwashing detergent. Beautiful pool. Just 1 km from playa negra. Quiet neighborhood. Hosts available, accommodating, nice, pleasant. 

Super studio. Mieux que sur les photos. Ultra propre. Tout est fonctionnel Apportez votre savon/détergent à vaisselle. Superbe piscine. A peine 1km de playa negra. Quartier calme. Hôtes disponibles, accomodants, sympatiques, agréables. 

Merci pour les compliments, Taher.  S'il n'y avait pas de produit à vaisselle dans la cuisine, c'est un oubli, car nous en mettons dans toutes nos maisons; vous auriez dû nous en parler! Soyez tranquille, il y en aura pour votre prochain séjour ! Cordialement Annie et Christian

Super relaxing and beautiful place to stay. Christian and his wife were great host and we enjoyed every day of our trip to Los Nancites. Secure and calm place!

We loved staying here! The villa we stayed in was very comfortable and modern, with such beautiful surroundings. We stayed in a studio villa and it had an amazing shower, aircon, wifi and a small kitchenette for cooking. Definitely a great place for people looking to relax off the beaten path! I would recommend renting a car for your stay, it's about a 30 minute drive away from Tamarindo and the roads can be bad - word to the wise, don't rent a motorbike! There's a small grocery store 2 minutes away and the 10-15 min walk to the Playa Negra has a few nice restaurant choices. Worth it!!

My boyfriend and I stayed at Los Nancites for 3 nights on the 2nd half of our trip to CR. It worked out perfectly for us since the first few days we stayed on the beach in Playa Langosta. There we were close to the beach and very close to Tamarindo where there was a lot to do and see. Once we arrived at Los Nancites we were ready for something more remote and quiet which is exactly what we experienced. The studio was clean, very well decorated and had everything we needed. Christian made sure to stop by on our 1st night to ensure all our questions and needs were met. Which they were! Playa Negra also had a very different feel from Tamarindo, as it was very laid back and tranquil. We recommend to stay here if you are looking for something quiet and relaxing. We will definitely consider staying here again in the future!

Thank you Gabrielle I hope you will come back next year with a perfect Spanish :)

This place is a hidden gem.  When you look at it on a map it seems in the middle of no where, which it is, kinda.  It is a beautiful property with a pool lots of beautiful flowers and trees all very well kept.  The flats and very well kept as well.  They ensure a quiet environment after dark which makes it a very peaceful.  It has a locked gate and you'll never feel unsafe here.  It's a quick drive to convenience store(2 mins)5 minutes from playa Negra(which is the best of all the beaches) 20 min drive to Tamarindo.  Christian and his wife make you feel very comfortable.  I would HIGHLY recommend this rental of traveling to the pacific coast of Costa Rica.  

Thank you so much, Patrick, for such a good comment! you are welcome here as soon as you want! Christian & Annie

The place is just as it appears in the photographs, that is, nice, clean and comfortable. I spent three days there with my two young daughters and we had a great time. In addition, the location is very good for visiting different beaches such as Avellanas, Playa Negra, Playa Blanca and Junquillal. I recommend it.

El lugar es tal cual aparece en la fotografías, es decir, bonito, limpio y cómodo. Pasé ahí tres días con mis dos hijas pequeñas y lo pasamos muy bien. Además, la ubicación es muy buena para visitar diferentes playas como Avellanas, playa Negra, playa Blanca y Junquillal. Lo recomiendo.

The accommodations and the grounds were lovely and exceeded our expectations. The place was minimal but very clean. A few bugs but understandable due to rural Costa Rican location. Playa Negra beach was also very beautiful. The hosts were great and we would definitely stay again. 

Christian and his son were very accommodating! The property is very pretty, well-kept, and safe (they lock their gates at night). Pictures were accurate. Place was very clean. Would stay here again! And in general, Playa Negra was one of my favorite places to visit in Costa Rica! 

Los Nancites in Playa Negra was a really beautiful place (even during the dry season, which is when we went). The owner Cristian, his son Silvan, and the entire staff were very welcoming, kind, and informative. They helped us with anything we needed, from travel, to finding places to eat and visit, to even finding activities for us to do. Traveling in costa rice with out a car can be a pretty big hassle. Cristian mentioned to us that having a car will give you more of an opportunity to explore this beautiful country, but there are other ways to get around. We called cabs to some of the places we weren't able to walk to and, met some people along the way who also helped us out. The property of Nancites is very well kept, we saw the staff out there every day planting and maintaining the vegetation. We were able to hear, and see howler monkeys every morning 5am and every evening at 5pm. It was amazing! All in all Los Nancites in Playa Negra is the perfect place to visit if you're looking to wind down, relax and catch some sun. I'd recommend it to anyone planning to go to Costa Rica. It will definitely be memorable! Peter and Yunimar, Pura Vida!

The photos and description match perfectly. The place is tranquil and peaceful. It feels like home. The accommodation is modern, simple, clean and spacious-it's really nice for a long stay. It is also well equipped. The pool is a real plus and above all very nice given the temperature. The advantage of this well-maintained garden is the almost total absence of mosquitoes. There are various beaches at your fingertips as well as several nice little restaurants. If you're looking for peace, this is ideal. If you're looking for more adventure, this is also the best, as you're not far from several national parks, but you'll need a car. Our stay was perfect and especially since the welcome was very warm. We were greeted with smiles and sincerity. They are available and at the same time discreet. Christian and Annie made the most of our stay. In one word : EXCELLENT !

Les photos et la description correspondent parfaitement. Le lieu est tranquille et paisible. On s'y sent comme à la maison. L'hébergement est à la fois moderne, simple, propre et spacieux : c'est vraiment agréable pour un long séjour. Il est aussi bien équipé. La piscine est un vrai plus et surtout très appréciable vu la température. L'avantage procuré par ce jardin bien entretenu est l'absence quasi-totale de moustiques. Il y a diverses plages à portée de main ainsi que plusieurs petits restaurants sympathiques. Si vous rechercher le calme, c'est l'idéal. Si vous recherchez plus d'aventure, c'est aussi le top, car vous n'êtes pas loin de plusieurs parcs nationaux, mais il vous faudra une voiture. Notre séjour était parfait et d'autant plus que l'accueil était très chaleureux. Nous avons été reçus avec sourires et sincérité. Ils sont disponibles et à la fois discrets. Christian et Annie ont fait le plus de notre séjour. En un seul mot : EXCELLENT !

C'était un plaisir de vous accueillir chez nous, votre discrétion et votre gentillesse font de vous des hôtes que nous aurons grand plaisir à revoir dans notre petit paradis, revenez quand vous voulez!

Beautiful place, ideally located between several beaches quickly accessible. Christian and Annie were very welcoming, always available and ready to give us advice on interesting things in the area. Very clean apartment, nice pool, beautiful setting. We had a really good time for the last few days in Costa Rica. Thank you! We highly recommend

Superbe endroit, idealement situé entre plusieurs plages rapidement accessibles. Christian et Annie ont été très accueillants, toujours disponibles et prets a nous donner des conseils sur les choses interessantes dans la region. Appartement tres propres, piscine sympa, beau cadre. On a vraiment passé un bon moment pour nos derniers jours au Costa-Rica. Merci! On recommande vivement

Merci Adrien, nous avons été ravis de vous accueillir. Ravis également que vous ayez apprécié la beauté de la région et nos suggestions d'activités. Revenez nous voir. :)  Amicalement  Christian

Excellent place to rest and enjoy the beach and nature. It is in an excellent spot to have access to 3 beaches(Junquillal, Playa Blanca and Playa Negra).  The studio is very clean and well equipped, as well as great attention from the owners. 

Excelente lugar para descansar y disfrutar de playa y naturaleza. Queda en un excelente punto, para tener acceso a 3 playas(Junquillal, playa blanca y playa negra).  El studio muy limpio y bien acondicionado, ademas de una gran atención por parte de los dueños. 

Muchas gracias Humberto. La naturaleza esta maravillosa y es este que queriamos cuando hemos empesado vivir aqui en losnancites. Espero que nos vemos de nuevo pronto.  Christian

Christian ended up putting us in another property on the same lot as this "Grand Studio". It's a gated property called Los Nancites (losnancites.com). SO this isn't a review of this particular accommodation so much as it is a review of the host. We actually looked at the Grand Studio in person when we arrived and it looked very nice, new and clean.  Just to note, Christian can communicate via email in english, but speaks french & spanish and has a hard time talking with you in english.   So we ended up in a 2 bedroom house that appeared as though it hadn't been inhabited for a while.It didn't seem like this house had been prepped for our arrival. It wasn't what I would consider clean, especially in comparison to other accommodations we had in costa rica through airbnb. There were lots of cob webs and bugs. The floors were extremely dirty. Walking on them for only a few minutes resulted in black feet.   We were willing to deal with it for the couple of nights (wear flip flops) and say nothing. However there was no hot water when we arrived. We had 2 cold showers and realized that his posting specified hot water and it's advertised on the sign out front of Los Nancites for all the houses/studios as you enter the property. So we wrote him an email on our second night as he mentioned this was his easiest form of communication. We mentioned that we had no hot water and decided to mention the floors not being very clean. We thought maybe he could have a cleaner come in the next day OR that maybe he would reduce our daily rate. We were paying $150 a night for this place and it seemed over priced.   The next morning he woke us up at the front door and proceeded to sternly yell at me about the email saying it was rude and that he can't believe we would tell him his floors are dirty. He said he's a doctor so he knows what clean is! He wouldnt' allow me or my boyfriend to talk or reason with him. He also made me feel the hot water tap - which was now running hot water - and yelled "is this hot?!" he obviously had just turned on the water heater. We were not trying to argue or defend ourselves as he wouldn't let us talk, but he then said we had to leave and that he was kicking us out. We couldn't stay another minute and he would refund us. As he stormed out without letting us say a thing, he admitted he forgot to turn on the water because he is "an old man". After we gave him time to cool down we wrote another email saying he had to honour the airbnb reso and we never heard another word. This person is rude and unreasonable and I would not recommend dealing with him.

Hello Lauren. I am sorry to read this. All our guest say the exact opposit.  Lauren : Instead of coming up( 50meters walk ) to our house and let us know about your complains, you choose to send very rude and directive emails. Maybe you could try to re- read them and realize that. I won't comment the lies and arrangements you made in your comment to make it sound true. I know it is useless. As everyones knows, our houses are cleant and prepared for every new guest OF COURSE !!! We are not crazy and don't want to ruin our reputation. Also : You had a free upgrade to a 2 bedrooms instead of a studio and payed 110$ (not 150..).  However, we do live in the country, in a dry area during dry season. And when the wind blows as it sometimes blows strong at this period of the year... Of course some dust from the dirtroads and the trails or the dry leafs make their way into the houses within minutes. Everyone who lived in a house in tropical country knows that ( unless you live in a bunker with AC full on all day and closed windows). This makes also the charm of the area. No asphalt. Lots of trees... Most of the people understand this... And even love this ! This comes along with "nature"... Some people prefer the luxury of a golf court hotel. Matter of taste, i respect that. I have no power to tell the wind not to blow. I cannot come every 30mn to clean the floor. (we are not a hotel but a vacation rentals). what I can do is having a normal talk with people that come to me and try to let them have the best experience and the best vacation. It seems to work most of the time if I believe what our guests write.  We work a lot to make this place look as good as it is. Haven't you enjoyed the beauty of the trees, the garden, the pool, the tropical birds and the monkeys... And of course the bugs ( this is the food for birds... No bugs no birds !). We live in the middle of nature and of course you cannot tell animals to "not enter a private property" ! But seriously don't you think you're exagerating ? Would we have guests coming back if it were that bad ? We're open for almost 10 years and we try to make it better every year. We love suggestions and we hear them.   Regarding your way of writing emails, To be honest, I don't allow myself to speak this way to my own staff. There are some oldschool rules and behaviors I am proud to respect. Maybe due to my age.  When people check in I always tell them : "if you have any trouble or see anything that doesn't work, please come up and let us know". Doing this would have let you take hot showers from the first day.   Maybe are you used to have people around you that obey whatever you might say. Even if you treat them with no respect. Being 65years old and also a former doctor, I had the opportunity in my life to deal with a lot of people. Some nice, some not. I never let people disrespect me but I always try to help the best I can. That comes from my past as a doctor I guess.  I'm not here to lecture you but I can tell you this is the first time in 10 years I have such an experience.

This was amazing! Christian and his wife was the perfect combo of friendly and giving us privacy! The pictures don't give this place justice, it's so much better! As we also said while being there, you can't take a picture that describe it, you gotta be there to fully enjoy it!

Thanx Hannes. It was a pleasure to have you here. We're glad we knocked on your door to let you know the monkeys were just around the house. Come back soon ! Kind regards  Christian and Annie

I was so very much looking forward to staying here during my visit to Costa Rica. Unfortunately, we were not made aware of the difficulties of travel on the Nicoya Peninsula during the rainy season. We were re-routed 5 times and 15 hours , but even more unfortunate – our phone calls and e-mails we made to Christian were never returned. We had hoped that maybe they could either provide us with some insight as to how to travel to their location. We even tried to re-schedule some of our future reservation stays so that we could still come to Christian’s place – but having never received any communication back from them, we had to stay in a “not so nice” place for 2 nights until our next reserved location was available. I do truly hope that we did not receive responses from them due to the incredibly sporadic internet & cellular accessibility in those areas of Costa Rica.

Hello Leigh Anne. This is the mail I received from you saying you would arrive around 2pm : Quote :"Christian, We left from Santa Teresa today around 1:30. After 6 hours - 1 successful river crossing - and 1 long drive that led to a very deep river - we had to turn back around and have ended up in Cobano also that in the morning we can take the very long way around to get to you guys. We should be getting in by 2 - sorry for any inconvenience! Leigh-Anne " end quote I was worried and sent you a message but got no answer. If you wish to reschedule I would be happy to welcome you here of course. But when a customer writes to say he will arrive later it is normal that I do not worry about him finding the way to come ... Am I wrong ? Anyhow as I said you are welcome if you want to reschedule. Kind regards  Christian

This place is awesome. A pool, nice room, air con, beautiful grounds - really great and affordable. 

Beautiful stay in every way... Los nancites is heavenly, the wildlife is beautifully represented, the iconic Yucatan bird the blue eyebrow motmots, the famous howler monkeys and parrots.... Zen villa, clean and comfortable, very nice terrace where it's nice to eat and read in the hammock, nice well maintained pool with sun loungers. Discreet and respectful tenants and charming owners... I would recommend this destination to Quebecers looking for heat in winter, it's a small paradise, the beach is very accessible, magnificent excursions possible the same day. You absolutely must rent a good 4X4 vehicle. See you next time...

Magnifique séjour à tout point de vue... Los nancites est paradisiaque, la faune est magnifiquement représentée, l'oiseau emblématique du Yucatan les motmots à sourcils bleus, les fameux singes hurleurs et les perroquets.... Villa Zen, propre et confortable, terrasse très agréable où il fait bon manger et lire dans le hamac, jolie piscine bien entretenue avec chaises longues. Locataires discrets et respectueux et propriétaires charmants... Je conseille cette destination aux québécois recherchant la chaleur l'hiver, c'est un petit paradis, la plage est très accessible, des excursions magnifiques possibles la même journée. Vous devez absolument louer un bon véhicule 4X4. À la prochaine..
