In Jaco (15 min North) you can find pretty much everything you need. There is grocery stores, banks, Clinics, Spas, beauty salons, pharmacies, many restaurants to choose from (we recommend sushi at Tsunami, or at Arigato), casinos, juice bars, mail office, Gyms, Bakeries, souvenir shops… etc…
Or just stay at home and enjoy a delicious cup of coffee on your private terrace, as you watch the parrots, the toucans and the macaws flying overhead. Or maybe go for a walk, or even for a swim at the waterfall just a few minutes away on the property. You might even see the white face monkeys jumping from tree to tree!

Beautiful but hot
The villa was beautiful and clean. The only issues we had were with the comfort. It is so hot in CR in Feb that after dinner each sweat-drenched person was forced to either go back to the pool, take a shower or go to bed. Air conditioning is only in the bedrooms. Yes, I know it's the full tropical experience but it makes socializing difficult. The living room / kitchen is wide open to the outdoors with a screen wall so there is no way to escape from the heat. You can sit under the fan on the porch to play cards but mosquitoes will find you. We sat on the extremely uncomfortable (think torture rack) futon to watch a movie or two and ended up making pillow nests on the tile floor as a more comfortable alternative. So I would suggest you consider whether you need a/c and if you want to continue to gather as a group in the evening - or anytime of day - in the heat. Perhaps they should invest in a more comfortable futon and some hammocks. There was just nowhere to recline and relax, other than bed.

Breakfast with the Macaws
Great spot with outdoor seating where you can eat breakfast with the macaws, watch iguanas sun bath in the afternoon and a waterfall is only a short 10 minute walk away. Miele was very responsive and provided some great suggestions for the excursions and food. Can’t wait to go back next year!

Amazing house
Clean and well appointed. Love the abundance of nature and the trail to the private waterfall was such a bonus. AC worked well in the bedrooms and beds were very comfortable. We will definitely return.

playa hermosa retreat
The property was lovely, really enjoyed the pool and having real hot water in the showers! Everything we needed for our week long stay way there. The AC in the bedrooms was so important as it was very very hot while we were visiting and without the cool bedrooms to retreat to we would have been quite uncomfortable. Really enjoyed seeing the Macaws every evening and iguanas throughout the property. Waterfall walk was a plus and even spotted some capuchins there.
