"We loved our stay of 9 days. The view is spectacular. Access to beach and the small town of San Francisco, both a short walk or drive. This is a place to get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy nature. We will be going back. Property perfect. Thank you Charlie for great communication and making everything super easy. Best Regards Mark and Kelly "

"Our host Jason went out of his way to ensure we had a good stay at his place. We had support in getting to use a local pool, with groceries and transportation to our next location to mention a few. If you need local insights and super hospitality then go with Jason. The location is in a quiet local neighbourhood and it feels safe to have kids running around outside. Walking to the beach is possible, but can be a bit hard for little ones up to 4 years old (especially considering the heat). Go to...

"A unique and wonderful experience! The open air living areas and pool were perfect. I. The middle of a small village, we loved it all. Host was communicative and helpful."

"This was an amazing property with an amazing view and location. All expectations were exceeded. What puts this property above others is the caretaker. The caretaker was absolutely fantastic and made our trip more enjoyable than expected. She made amazing meals, was super friendly and was super helpful when planning our daily activities.
Thank you"

"10/10 hospitality from Guido and Krista! We thank you for your insight, recommendations and perspective! Casita 3 was a fabulous getaway for a week. Kitchen is adequate, as we did prepare most of our dinners there. The deck and views are fabulous. The mattress is very comfortable! Water quality and water pressure are great. Guido and Krista responded right away to an unexpected water pressure surprise. It’s close to Restaurant Teosinte, which should not be missed! Don’t forget Juan’s farm tour!...

Fabulous Ocean View, Walking Distance to the Beach
10/10 Excellent
"Spectacular view of the ocean from the bluff. Easy access in and out of the property. Felt very secure with the gate that we were given access to upon arrival. Sherry was great and very communicative"
Private, spacious, well-equipped & luxurious retreat. Perfect for large groups.
10/10 Excellent
"10 out of 10! This house is even better in person than it is in the photos. It was a great place for our family of 14 to spend a magical vacation together. The house is nestled in the jungle and it feels wonderfully secluded, yet it’s just a 5 minute drive to the town and a lovely beach. The zero edge pool is quite large and has a large shallow end which is perfect for small children and a substantial regular depth end as well. The home beautifully appointed and has all the practical amenities you want including lots of games, books, pool and beach toys, and a well equipped kitchen. An added bonus is the amazing howler monkeys that live in the trees surrounding the house. They provided endless entertainment for all of us. Our host Sue was incredibly gracious and immediately responsive to any questions we had and once on site Mauricio and Leo couldn’t have been more helpful and attentive. I highly recommend Casa Mesakeca."
"Such a great location and wonderful spot! My husband and I loved the cleanliness, spacious room (and AC!) and friendly and helpful front staff.
Breakfast was good although options seemed a bit limited and the wait staff was not friendly. Also just a note that it can get really loud if you stay over a Friday or weekend as there are parties in town and it is situated on the central road."
"The pool and property were excellent, we spent an equal amount of time at the hotel and the beach. The one of the mattresses were very hard but despite that we would come back again."
Luxury by the Beach - Great for Families or Multiple Couples
10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home near the beach in Costa Rica. The location was excellent—close enough to easily walk to the beach. Nearby restaurants and plenty of outdoor activities. The house was very peaceful and private.The house was exceptionally well maintained, clean, and equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was clear that the owners take great pride in keeping the property in excellent condition.What truly made our experience special was the outstanding staff. Everyone was friendly, responsive, and eager to help with any questions or requests. Their hospitality made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.We would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area and would happily stay here again on a future trip to Costa Rica."
"This hotel is peaceful and perfect for a couples vacation. The housekeeping wasn’t really cleaning for example our sheets became dirty instead of them changing the sheets they made the bed up with the exact sheet on opposite side, they left the garbage and the cups of alcohol that were left on the mini fridge. Other than that the property is amazing food is amazing bartenders will have those drinks coming. It wasn’t to crowded as it is a small all inclusive resort. I will definitely be staying there again."
"I almost do not want to write this review because the TM is such a hidden gem that I don't want it to get over booked. However, the place is so amazing it would be wrong of me to not rave about this property. The service was EXCEPTIONAL. From the moment I arrived at the property and was greeted by Maria Fernanda the experience became special.
The staff at the TM are aiming for your enjoyment and happiness. They know how to make you feel special. As the Author of Winning the Customer, my business is about building relationships and high touch customer service and TM definitely overdelivers.
From the Concierge team of Andres, Alexandra and Maria Fernanda to the Wait Staff and Bartenders including; Alex, Daniel, Stephanie, Jose, Ronny, Edwardo, Joshuan, Gary and Warner. All went out of their way to perfect my stay. I can't forget Ian who got me back and forth from Beach Break, their other property close to the beach.
And the views... Spectacular! You will be in awe of the scenery and having breakfast with the butterflies and humming birds.
Finally, I would be remiss not to mention Chef. My son and I enjoyed an incredible tasting menu, prepared by Chef Paulo Valerios that was "off the charts" delicious. Amazing flavors, ingredients and stories by Chef himself. I have been to many Michelin Star restaurants, and Chef & Huacas should be in the Michelin family.
If you like adventure, scenery and being pampered, Tierra Magnifica is true to it's name, Magnificent!"
