Gringo's Paradise became our paradise during our stay! Excellent location with everything you could possibly need. Our host was very helpful and quick to answer any questions. Comfortable beds, nicely appointed, serene and quiet neighborhood and beautiful beaches within walking distance . The true essence of Pura Vida

Muchísimas gracias al Sr. Scott propietario de la Villa, siempre pendiente con una sola llamada. Estuvimos mi cuñada y yo, eso si pensamos que la Villa es perfecta más como para una pareja y jóvenes. Para nosotras dos. Wouuu!!todas las personas desde los guardias realmente amigables y atentos a ayudarnos, nos sentíamos en casa. Si Dios me lo permite la próxima vez., regresaría ahí mismo pero ahora en compañía de mi esposo, para otra económica, súper tranquila luna de miel.

This was a wnderful vacation site for rest and revitalization from busy work. The environment of the house and the resort complex was impressive. It is a quiet, safe and attentive community. It has the largest swimming pool we have visited and wonderful, scenic beaches just a brief drive away. We especially selected the site because of its pet friendly policy. It is a place we would like to return to.
