"We have stayed at Steve’s and Nancy’s for two weeks and experienced their hospitality, friendliness and such a warmth. Loved the place : super comfortable, very private yet close enough to know the host is there when you need them. Steve and his helper rescued us from a very daring car trouble for which we were so grateful. We enjoyed the tranquility and spectacular views, jacuzzi on the huge terrace was awesome. We will go back next year."

"We had a great time staying close to nature. This is next to Kids Saving the Rainforest. "

"There is only one VRBO along with the owners home up the road on this exquisite property. We were blown away with the natural beauty. Waterfalls literally everywhere. You could hear them from the house. The owner Bill could not have been any nicer or accommodating and Recardo takes care of the landscaping as only a professional could do. He walked the first day in the pouring rain all the way up the mountain to show my husband around - just plain charming. We loved this place - it was hard to...

"Beautiful location on the mountain, overlooking rainforest below and the ocean in far distance. The house is spacious with glass wall floor to ceiling on the side facing the view. There is a wrap-around covered porch on two levels so we enjoyed stepping out even when it was raining. We spent a couple of days just hanging on the property, by the pool and in the house, relaxing. We did not feel getting there was dangerous, but there are some ups and downs and narrow bridges over creeks along the...

"Messed up my reservation, didn't let me know. Lost a night for which I wasn't refunded although they offered to, and amenities were not at all as described in Expedia. There's no TV signal, TVs not pre-connected to wifi, no info on the password, gave me pass 3 options none worked. Pretty pics that don't live up to the actual experience. I'm never coming back."

"This beautiful log cabin is perched in the hills where the deck catches the mountain breezes. Bring binoculars for birdwatching! We lived on that deck! The air conditioning is once for sleeping, and the kitchen is small but functional. The drive up to the cabin from the main house is very steep, but we made it up without 4 wheel drive since I am used to driving up hills in snow and ice! If you are not, rent a 4 wheel drive vehicle. Or take the bus (4) or taxi 14) from Quepos. Sheyla is an...

Smart TV, DVD player, books, video library

"Perfect size for 5 adults. Overall a fantastic experience where the property managers/host were very responsive and the home was a wonderful retreat from your work life. The amenities were great with a dedicated A/C in every room and a pristine pool where you'll just love to spend the night listening to the rainforest and staring at the stars. This home is very remote (3km from the main road to the "gate"+ 7km from the gate to the home). It'll take you an additional 10-25 min to get to the main...

"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the beautiful, spacious, well equipped home. We loved sipping wine on the deck while spotting monkeys and other visitors. The pool was perfect, and Brian was so incredibly helpful and accommodating! We were sad to say goodbye and hope to be back! **Note the location before booking. It is remote with the closest grocery stores approx 15 minutes away. PERFECT for us as we wanted to cook, and enjoy the feeling of being in the jungle. :). Pura Vida!"

"Would definitely stay here again. Great layout, great view and overall nice property. Just make sure you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Road to the house can’t be a little tricky."

"Pay attention to past reviews they provide some great information. You must have a 4 wheel drive, I didn't realize how far in the jungle the property is. And it is a challenging drive.If you have the opportunity arrive in the day light we arrived a night and it was challenge to figure things out, we ended up at someone house and they helped us you need to meet some so they can take you to the house. We did have some challenges with the property but they were resolved, don't hesitate to contact...

"We have stayed at Paul's place for 4 nights during Christmas time. Host was very responsive to all of our questions and he made sure that checkin process and the whole stay as pleasant as it can be.Plenty of space (big kitchen, big bedrooms, closet space etc) for 11 of us. Pool and outdoor areas for the house was very welcome. Grocery stores and couple of places to eat were within walking distance. Main town Quepos was about 5 km (less than 10 min drive) where all the activities, beaches and...

"Está propiedad es una joya, increíble lugar para escaparse el finde semana. El lugar es mágico y con bastante opciones para disfruta dentro de la propiedad. Además la atención de Doug es excepcional siempre está pendiente que tu estadía fluya con perfección y que no te falte nada. Esta propiedad es súper recomendada. Les voy a dar un tip nosotros fuimos también a visitar Copey Vinícola Tour y la propiedad está a 30 minutos de este increíble paraíso en donde nos quedamos a dormir. "

"We loved our stay here. Pool was great. Pool house had everything we needed. The views were incredible. Pretty easy to get into town. 4x4 is definitely a must to access the house. Check in and out was easy. Felt very safe. Amazing sunsets (short drive up the road). Would love to return here someday!"

"The property looks exactly like the picture and is situated in a nice neighborhood. Would highly recommend!"

"The house is in a neighborhood about halfway up one of the mountain roads from the town of Orosi. Overall, it's a fantastic house very comfortable for our party of 4. Great place to enjoy a glass of wine on the porch and visit in the late afternoons. The kitchen was adequately equipped with coffee maker, microwave, range, fridge. We mostly ate breakfast and brought take out dinners during our stay. The views of the Orosi Valley from the dining area and porch are amazing! Vernon was available and...

"I NEVER do any reviews. This was compelling. We had a horrible two night stay. For the entire two days, not a drop of running water!! The host said it could come anytime but he did not know when because it was a ‘water company problem’. He ‘could not do anything about it and “that’s the way it is” he said. There was a hot tub outside, that was thankfully filled. We had to use a bucket to bring water from the Tub to get the toilet flushed. The hot tub had to be connected with an extension wire...

We even got to meet the owner at the restaurant (breakfast is free with your stay). The room had a fridge and big screen tv where we watched Netflix.

"The Staff in all areas is very friendly and do their best to provide great service. For instance, the staff in the restaurant was very accommodating on our dietary needs, since my family is allergic to gluten and dairy products. Since the day we visit it was breakfast buffet, they helped us to cook some eggs for us to avoid cross contamination. The only thing that we noticed is that the hotel is could be a little noisy, as is quite close to the main street. (which at the same time is convenient for easy access)."

"What an amazing experience staying at Santa Juana Lodge! Myself, my husband and our 2 year old daughter had an amazing time here. The views were incredible, and sleeping in the screened in bedrooms listening to the wildlife was so relaxing. Even though we were here in February it was very comfortable and cool sleeping at night. We arranged transport through Santa Juana Lodge which I would highly recommend. It was nice not having to worry about driving up the mountain. My husband did the birding tour with Alan which was absolutely incredible, they saw 55 birds in a few hours! My daughter and I walked to the waterfalls (with her in a hiking backpack), it is about 1 mile out and back on a very quiet road. I loved that there was a smaller waterfall which was great for her. The big waterfall looked amazing but was more appropriate for adults or kids who can swim. It is a steep walk back! The best part was the welcoming and friendly staff. We especially loved making empanadas with Julia, fresh tropical juices with every meal, and the endless supply of fruit (which made my toddler so happy!) I wish we stayed an extra day so that we could do the nature / waterfall excursion. But we hope to return in the future! Staying at Santa Juana was one of my favorite travel experiences I have ever had."

"This hotel was wonderful; the tour guides were particularly knowledgeable and also great with kids! We enjoyed the restaurant and especially the views from the rooms (we had 3, and all were incredible). It is a bit of a walk through the cloud forest to the rooms, but there is help for luggage, and it's exactly the kind of walk you come to Costa Rica to take! Thank you Dantica! "

"Room was comfortable. No view from room. Pretty area with gardens around walkways. Not a lot of outside seating areas. Most rooms are a walk uphill a ways. Not many have close parking. Trails uphill behind resort. 4x4 drive to upper parking was in good shape and looked good enough for 2 wheel when dry. Dining was fine, with good service. Trout was good, though I think it was better for lunch up the road at the next cafe. Bar area has seating and fire. Happy hour 3-5. The resort seems to do a lot of large bus groups. Dining room was full with 4 tables of 10-15 people and just a handful of couples at other tables."
