"Hotels dot com screwed up the reservation, but Jessica at the property did everything she could and made sure I️ have accommodations for my trip. She’s there to help and does a great job at that. The road going to the site is dirt, but that’s expected in CR. The pool at the smaller condos is amazing. Infinity, with fantastic views and the right depth to hang out and enjoy life. Definitely going back there the next time I’m in Uvita!!"

"Excellent stay, the property is clean modern and very spacious. I stayed in Villa 1 which had plenty of space for me and my wife. The room had a nice kitchen area with a large fridge / cutlery, cups etc , a comfortable bed and a clean modern bathroom. The property is located within walking distance to one of the entrances to Marino Ballena national park and provides secure parking with an electric gate. Overall I had an excellent stay and would highly recommend to stay at Cedrela Beach Villas....

"We were a group of three adult females visiting Costa Rica for the first time. The house, property and pool are beautiful. I highly suggest allowing Del to schedule your transportation and excursions. All were flawless. The transportation to and from the airport was worth every penny. Don't be intimidated by the driveway. We rented the car from Del and once Adrian showed us how to navigate the driveway, it was no problem at all, even in the rain and dark. We saw lots of birds, had daily...

"Our family has stayed at many properties in the area. This location of this house is what sets it apart for us. We've gone a half hour up the mountain to get to houses, this was 1 minute. There's a little highway noise because of it, but not annoying enough to take away from the close proximity to everything and the amazing view. We would definitely stay here again. "

"The Villa Ambiente worked out to be a perfect location for our family to enjoy both a reunion and a celebration of our 50th Wedding Anniversary.There was lots of room for all of us to hang out without being on top of each other, and the pool was a great hit with the 6 children. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well stocked, and the environment was outstanding. The Villa is a real gem and we are so glad that we found it."

"Steps from the beach, we fell asleep to the waves crashing and woke to them as well. The kids couldn’t get enough of the warm water and surf. The beach was beautiful as well with large rocks and cliffs due south, and Dominical beach proper was just north. The accommodations were as expected. 2 queen beds and very comfy. AC worked great. Only downside is exiting the driveway is pretty blind so you really need to be ready for passing traffic. But the house and stay were great. Landlord was...

"Our stay here was perfect! Our entire family loved it!!! Natasha was such a wonderful help throughout our whole stay and everyone around town was so nice. Even though it says to in the listing be sure to rent a 4x4 vehicle, you will NEED it for the drive away and many other locations during your stay! The kids are already asking when we will be going back!!!!! The pool was lovely and being surrounded by very friendly toucans, macaws and a sloth made it even more special. Can't wait to come...

"This house is definitely nestled in the middle of paradise with a million view. Very interesting architecture and love the pool. Loved the animals that did finally come in appear to us. Sloth every night in back tree. Kids(18+) loved being able to just walk out the door and explore. The bonus of having a private farm owner hike us to the waterfall and the private beach club is a big plus all provided by homeowner Claire who’s super attentive. However a few things you need to know that isn’t...

"We booked our week at La Libulela well in advance to celebrate our 60th wedding anniversary with our two sons and daughters-in-law. When we saw the pictures of the house and its location overlooking the Pacific on the south coast of Costa Rice on VRBO, we were sure this was the place we wanted to be for our anniversary. We arrived at La Libulela in the early evening after flights from three different places, and then took an almost 4hour drive in pouring rain most of the way. Needless to say...

"This was a top notch house. There’s a reason why it’s all five star reviews. I loved every second of it. The living room can get a little hot since there is no AC due to the open air around the rooftop, but you can always open the sliders. I was just not wanting so many bugs in. So when I got too hot, I’d go sit by the lovely pool and be immediately cool. I saw monkeys, toucans, iguanas, the most beautiful hummingbirds I’ve ever seen in my life. Really spectacular. The owners and the manager are...
