"This was the best Airbnb experience that I have EVER had. Everything was done with a professionalism that is hard to find in Central America. The house was significantly better than the pictures — and those pictures were amazing."
Stephen · Layton, Utah · April 2026
"Extremely stylish, in the middle of the jungle. Parrots and toucans live in the trees above the villa. The combined living and dining area with its perfectly equipped kitchen is the centerpiece. EXCELLENT."
Christoph · Stayed a few nights · March 2026
"Staying at the house felt like part of the vacation. Our one week featured toucans, parrots, and a couple of sloth and monkey pass-throughs. Very peaceful and private."

"The place was even better than the pictures — and the pictures were incredible. The pool is incredible, the rooms were fantastic, and the outdoor showers were better than I expected."
Beth · Poetry, Texas · May 2022
"Beautiful villa — stunning pool and social areas, beautifully appointed bedrooms. We were five couples and it was perfect. We particularly enjoyed the birds and the sloths we saw around the gardens."
Belinda · Stayed a few nights · March 2022
"If I could give the hosts and the villa more than five stars, I would. The place was gorgeous and perfect for our large group. Even better than the pictures."
Jenny · Toronto, Canada · January 2022
"Each room is a separate bedroom with great views of the jungle. The social area was great to cook breakfast, make smoothies, even watch a movie on the projector. The house is tucked away on a little road — private and beautiful."
Bryan · Seattle, Washington · March 2023
"Loved that it was in the jungle — lots of wildlife visited and it was very entertaining. The home is amazing: so much room, yet you have your own space. So open, yet so secluded."
Georgia · Ohio, United States · December 2022
"Everything about this villa is magnificent — the pool, outdoor showers, common kitchen, individual bedrooms, and the hosts themselves. No request was ever too much trouble. I couldn't recommend it enough."

"We'd seen pictures of the place before and were already loving it, but when we finally got there at sunset it was even more magical and breathtaking. If we could give 7 stars we would — it was perfect in every way."

"Amazing. The AC in the casitas works great and the property is beautiful. It was so nice to have such a private retreat in our own tropical paradise. Giuly and Guillermo were fantastic."
