"Lani and her team were delightful to work with. My company chose this venue for our 30-person mastermind.Every staff member we came into contact with was kind, polite, and happy to have us on the property! We loved the pool and the bar area/event space was perfect for our event. If we had any questions, the team was quick to respond and take action. Our only hiccup is that we weren't prepped well that the "office" bedroom listed on VRBO was not quality enough to sell to a client. This taught me...

"I had such an amazing experience at this property in Nosara. Coltin was an excellent host and he answered all of our detailed questions from beginning to end. He was extremely responsive and on top of every little detail. The property was very clean and everything was just like the photos. Jumping in the pool after a long day at the beach and one day, we walked to the beach for an adventure. I would recommend this 10 out of 10"

"This was one of our favourite places in all of Costa Rica to stay and I can't recommend it enough. Coltin is a fabulous host who is very responsive and knowledgeable about the local area but also keeps your privacy. The house is stunning and has the best views for sunset and relaxing and it's super convenient for going anywhere in town when you actually can leave the property though it's hard to do! I can't say enough about this place and don't have anything negative to say, which is rare for me...
