"Five of us stayed for five nights. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. The home owner supplied us with detailed instructions to get to the house and the property manager was quick to answer all of our questions.It really is a nice secluded property but close to everything we needed. Would stay again. Also, we awoke every morning to the sound of toucans in the trees."

"We greatly enjoyed this property. The natural environment is gorgeous. I would recommend for anyone seeking a quiet place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. We heard the howler monkeys, visited by white face capuchins, entertained by a friendly coati and spent time identifying many different birds. I was nervous about the driveway from the reviews. Don’t let that hinder you. It is totally doable! The fresh fruit was a welcome touch. "

"The house is absolutely beautiful. The view of the ocean is amazing. We really felt like we had a private villa on a private beach. We were a big group. 10 adults and 3 children. Each little family had their own room and connected bathroom. The pool area and kitchen brought everyone together while the rooms gave us our space and privacy at night. We loved being steps from the beach and enjoyed the best sunsets every night. We saw iguanas, sloths, macaws and butterflies during our stay. Jackson, who takes care of the outside property, cut us down some coconuts which was an extra treat. We highly recommend this home and would stay here again! "

"My husband and I just spent 28 glorious days at this property. This is our 7th trip to this area and our favorite stay so far. The casita / guest house is new, clean and very well stocked with everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable, there is also A/C if you choose, and the WIFI/Internet was strong. The location is only a short drive (maybe 5 minutes?) up the mountain from the highway. A 4 x 4 is a must. It is also a short drive to Playa Matapalo and Playa Linda. I would say the location is top notch. The exterior of the property is an experience in aromatheraply with all its wonderful plants and flowers. And although this is a guest house, with the owner residing in the main house, we had the pool to ourselves every day with great privacy (Gelena, the owner, insisted on this). And it was a bonus to have Gelena on site as she was very responsive to all our questions and provided excellent information about surrounding markets, amenities etc. The location is very safe and the bonus was having monkeys visit us frequently, as well as toucans and parrots. Highly recommend this property. "

"The house was everything advertised and more. What a beautiful house and grounds. The owners representative, Elisabeth, met us at the property and showed us around. There were many included gifts such as nice bottles of wine, champagne, rum, etc along with supplies like eggs, cereal, pancake mixes, and others too numerous to mention. What a great surprise. They even had a cake to celebrate a special occasion we had. The property has a great pool and spa and is across the small street from the beach. Included are beach chairs, towels etc. The wildlife is numerous and beautiful around the property. We saw many monkeys, a sloth, and numerous macaws, toucans and other beautiful birds. There are restaurants and small markets close by. Overall it is a fantastic place to stay and close enough to many activities like Manual Antonio ( so glad we did not stay there). Loved the property, owners rep, and the owner. "

"We were rewarded for enduring the long drive from San Jose airport to Portalon with this beautiful vacation spot. Kids arrived with jaws dropped, the outdoor kitchen & dining area was spacious next to the pool. View of the ocean and watching the tropical rain squalls pass over - stunning. A perfect getaway. Kitchen stocked with ample equipment to cook, small salt shaker, no other spices. Scant containers to hold leftovers, but that was not a priority. Definitely need 4wd to get up to the house, but so worth it. WiFi was quite reliable, no issues. Matapalo beach within minutes of the house by car, everyone with Portasol super helpful & kind. Our stay exemplified “PuraVuda”. We defnitely hope to return someday!! Gracias a todos. If u stay at this spot, book zip line tour thru Portasol team with El Sanctuario - worth it. "

"This is a wonderful and clean boutique hotel. The last mile and a half drive to the property is a narrow, winding and steep road, but the drive is well worth it. The view from the rooms is spectacular looking out onto the ocean and amazing sunsets. The staff made our stay. The waiters were very friendly and gave us information about the area and wildlife. We saw toucans and a sloth on the property. Our waiter, Giovani, shared a video of a sloth climbing a tree and I view it now to make me happy. The dining area was conducive to talking with other guests. They have a very nice yoga platform and readily provided mats. The staff responded to all of our requests promptly and happily. We will stay at Lapazul again if we visit Costa Rica."

"Our trip to Justo Perfecto was amazing! Our family of five( kids 12, 8, and 3) and our friends with their 6 year old had the best experience staying here!

All of our requests were perfectly taylored to make this our best vacation ever! Justo Perfecto is a 10/10! Pura Vida! "

"Our family just returned from 1 week stay at this incredible property. The views are nothing short of amazing and we wanted to spend all our time on the patio or in the pool to soak it all in. The host was so accommodating, messaging a couple times just to be sure we were happy and had everything we needed. We hope to go back again! "
