"The host was more than accommodating throughout the booking, arrival and even allowing us late checkout time, which we needed because of a tour at the nearby Carara National Park. The room was beautiful with an amazing ocean view, clean and convenient with a kitchenette. We saw macaws fly by! Loved everything about Akua!"

"Jaime and Dinete made us feel welcome even before we checked in. They were extremely attentive and had great recommendations for activities and food. The place was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. We even saw macaws from our patio in the morning. It’s a hidden gem. Basic with stylish touches!"

"Nice amenities and location. Area isn’t perfect but decent eating options and safe enough if traveling in a group. "

"Excellent food and birds."

"We truly enjoyed our 3 weeks at Villa Fortuna in Costa Montana near the town of Tarcoles along the Pacific Coast in Costa Rica. Costa Montana is a gated community with 24/7 security. The views are breathtaking! All 3 bedrooms overlook the Pacific Ocean and the rainforest below. The drive up the mountain is not for the faint of heart. It is STEEP - a 4 wheel drive is an absolute must. The last section up to Villa Fortuna is a 22 degree grade with 3 switchbacks. If you like to walk be prepared for very steep inclines. The house is very comfortable with 3 floors, 3 large and comfortable bedrooms (with a 4th small overflow bedroom). Breakfast at the outdoor table just off the kitchen was our opportunity to see toucans/macaws. The Sonos sound system which feeds music to the pool, den or family room was excellent. The BBQ area was perfect for eat at home nights. We requested a cleaner to come in weekly and she was excellent and very affordable. The pool and patio overlooking the Pacific and rainforest below were the absolute highlight of our stay. Not everything in the write up is accurate. There is no fresh fruit on the property as stated. There are a number of typos. There is only 1 bathroom (not 2) serving two bedrooms on the third floor. The property does not have a direct sunset view - the sun sets behind the rainforest. Our host was excellent - always there to meet our needs. Gracias Robert. A wonderful stay at a very beautiful home."

"We had an amazing time during our stay at Casa Cięło! The road to the house is very steep, but we had clear directions from Diana and the drive was worth it for the views! We saw monkeys some days and beautiful birds every day. It was so easy to set up excursions with their reservation team. We enjoyed the dinner from the private chef, loved ziplining/ATV tour at the adventure park and had a great time going to Tortuga island. The house was set up perfectly for our group of 6, and there was still an extra bedroom downstairs. Everything was clean and we really enjoyed the pool everyday! "

"Very cool spot. Will be back with my kids and friend with kids. Close to SJ CR easy peasy "

"The place was just fantastic, it had everything yet a minimalistic feel to it. The trek up the hill is a bit high but you get used to it. Now let's get to what I thought was THE MOST fantastic view of the gulf! Your could sit there for hours in awe of this view. The pictures do not do capture this, you really need to be there to view it in all its glory. Don't think about it, just go for this property. On top of that Edgardo the manager and the owners Frank and Sammy were great with communication. Highly Highly Recommend!"

"Great property, friendly proprietor and staff. Highly recommended. "
