We loved our stay at Las Palmas. I was worried about the 'beefier' insects as there were only curtains separating the communal area with outdoors, but I needn't have done - we had no issues at all. I was also lucky enough to have a Jesus Christ lizard visit, albeit briefly as he was so shy, while I was reading a book by the pool - what a treat! The rooms were spacious with great air con and the pool was bigger than I imagined: we all enjoyed swimming in it. Erica on site was very helpful and, as we had a Spanish speaker in our party, communication was easy. All in all it was a great stay!

Our family absolutely loved staying at Sarah’s place and would give it 5 stars without hesitation! Everything was exactly as described in the listing and reviews. The home is private, quiet, and surrounded by beautiful wildlife, which made it feel like a true getaway. The outdoor living space was amazing and we could have happily spent months here without any issues. We spent most of our days lounging in the hot sun by the pool and cooling off with a swim. The pool was actually much larger than it appears in the photos, which was a wonderful surprise! The kitchen was perfectly laid out and fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare great meals. The house is also just a 5-minute drive to Uvita, where there are plenty of dining options if you prefer to eat out. Highly recommend!

This place was amazing. It’s private, quiet, has everything you could possibly need. The onsite caretaker, Erika is the best also. So communicative and warm. The handbook says to follow a pin provided, however, it brought my sister to the wrong location. Following the name of the place in Google Maps did work, however. Either way, we saw monkeys, toucans, so many hummingbirds, butterflies, everything you could want all at the house. Miss it!

Everything went perfect from check-in to check-out. The house felt very safe, the pool sparkling clean. Easy access from the main road. Very close to the town of Uvita with great restaurants and a beautiful beach. Having Wonderful Ericka attentive to all our needs was a very valuable. She really went beyond her duties and was most helpful. Thank you for sharing your home with us, enabling an unforgettable Christmas celebration.

The place is just as it appears in the photos. In general, it is clean and organized. The kitchen is well equipped. I would add black-out curtains for the bedrooms as a lot of light comes in at dawn.
