Hosts Raquel and her daughter Manesa were great. Manesa picked us up from the ferry once we arrive on Isla and took us to pick up our golf cart, which you will need to get around the island. The home is just as beautiful as the pictures. Raquel told us how to get to the grocery store and provided us with everything we needed like towels, pots/pans, water, etc. She also set up the bbq grill for us and we invited some new friends we met in town over for a bbq/pool party....which was our best night there. This house will really make your vacation memorable...not to mention you will be the envy of the island when people hear that you're staying there! Definitely be ready for onlookers and photos. TIPS: If you're a little daring, there's an amazing beach about 5 minutes north of the house that you have to climb down some rocks to get to. It's worth it...trust me. Also bring some bug spray, because there are tiny little ants in the bathroom and kitchen that get into the house. Wasn't that big of an issue for me though.

This house is unlike anything we've ever seen. Not only is it creative, unique, and beautiful, but the owner Raquel was so friendly and happy to help us, we felt immediately at home. Every detail from the round everything to the unique artwork to the way the house opens up to the sunrise each morning is so interesting, creative and inviting -- and authentic to the island. Yes, there were harmless little lizards occasionally in the bigger house, and yes, there were a few ants on one of the bathrooms -- but that's part of the charm of Isla Mujeres. If you're looking for something antiseptic and predictable, there are plenty of options in Cancun. If you're looking for something unique, personal, and unforgettable, Casa Caracol is hard to beat. Oh, and the other reviews are totally right about tourists just stopping by whenever and taking pictures. It wasn't that big of a deal -- plus, the kids made a game out of it, doing their best to photobomb each pic. If anyone has a shot of this place with one of my kids making a derpy face, please send it to me.

My husband and I spent five lovely days in Feb at Casa Caracol. Michelle was prompt to respond to all inquiries, and Raquel, the owner of the property, is a gem. She took us to the supermarket our first day there, and offered to take us to rent a golf cart. All of our needs were more than met. The grounds of the house and the pool are immaculate. It is private and very romantic. Tourists stop and take pictures of the house many times per day it is so beautiful. Inside, we loved the artwork and the beds. The island is safe and locals friendly. It was easy to get around by taxi, we didnt bother to rent the golf cart. Raquel will even place the calls for you! We are rebooking for next year.

The house looks exactly like it does in the pictures! The hosts could not have been any nicer. They picked us up at the ferry when we first arrived and accommodated us with everything we needed. They were sweet and extremely helpful. The house was incredibly unique and we had such a great time. It had everything you could want on a vacation, and we found it to be the perfect place to relax. We can't wait to go back and stay at this house again!

The host canceled this reservation 74 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

My husband and I went on an anniversary trip to Cancun, so we booked this beautiful seashell house on Isla Mujeres. I have to say it is the best experience we've ever had! Raquel's daughter came to pick us up at the ferry station once we arrived, and she is so amazing that she already helped us reserved our golf cart. Thus, we do not need to wait in lines to get it. A golf cart is highly recommended to drive around Isla Mujeres, and the price is quite reasonable. About the house itself, it is very beautiful both in and out. It has two bedrooms, one first floor and the other second floor, with comfortable queen/king size bed in each. Raquel and her daughter were very helpful, they showed us closest supermarket, places to visit and authentic Mexican restaurant... Very pleasant experience, we will definitely come back next time we visit Isla Mujeres!

Everything about this experience was amazing! Communication was excellent - the hosts helped arrange a golf cart rental ahead of time (highly recommend this!), Vanessa (Raquel's daughter) was there at the ferry terminal to greet me, and she also provided great recommendations of things to see and do. Staying in the Seashell House was an amazingly unique experience. I really loved exploring the island, but relaxing, and enjoying the house was also a perfect activity!

The seashell house is a truly unique experience! It is comfortable and cozy! We had a golf cart and got around town and scoured the small island. Loved that independence of having conveyance and not coming back to a boring hotel room at the end of the day. The house is a 3 min golf cart ride to Punta Sur, the southern most tip of the island and in our opinion the most beautiful part of the island! Vanessa and her mom were hospitable and great hosts!

Denne leiligheten er utrolig vakker. Trolig er det få boliger som er like vakker som hjemmet til Pepe. Familien bor i etasjen under leiligheten og hjelpe deg med eventuelle spørsmål. Leiligheten var den dyreste av vår tur, men leiligheten var verdt pengene. :) Hvem har sjansen til å besøke Trinidad og å leve i denne leiligheten, bør denne muligheten ikke bør gå glipp av. Leiligheten er vakker. Mest sannsynlig er det bare noen få hus gjorde er sammenlignbare med dette huset. Familien bor under leiligheten og hjelper når du har et spørsmål. Det var den dyreste leiligheten på turen, men det var verdt det! Hvis du har sjansen til å besøke Trinidad og bo i dette huset ... så ta det !! ;)

Veldig vennlige eiere som har gjort oss føler meg veldig velkommen og ga gode tips. Leilighet var fantastisk og middagen var utmerket! Vi er veldig glade for at vi vi er i stand til å bo i denne casa.

Perfekt! Flott sted når som helst synspunkt: romslig innkvartering, godt innredet, veldig hyggelig terrasse, utsøkt måltid med ultra frisk og vakkert forberedt fisk, vertene av stor vennlighet, gjestfrihet med gode Canchanchara, turisttavler ... Hva mer!

Overnatting på Pepi sted er vakker. Vi hadde første etasje av huset som har en egen inngang og er innredet til en meget høy standard. Pepi var svært nyttig og hjalp oss med å bestille en restaurant for vår første natten og anbefalte andre. Den vakre unge damen som gjorde vår frokost hver morgen (hvis navn jeg har glemt) var også svært nyttig. Og hun gjorde en fantastisk Canchanchara. Vi elsket rundstykker og kaker sammen med resten av frokosten. Kjøleskapet er velfylt hvis du vil ha øl eller vann, og dette er belastet ved slutten av oppholdet. Frokost var også rimelig. Det var en feiring i Trinidad når vi var der, så det var mye musikk overalt. Vi hadde fantastiske måltider på Vista Gourmet, La Ceiba og La cubita. Casa er innen gangavstand til alt og vandre gjennom gatene gjør at du kan se mer av severdighetene og folket. Takk for et fantastisk opphold. Ali & Ian

Pepes stedet er en perle !!! Casa de er ikke for nær hovedtorget - langt nok for fred og ro, men nær nok til å gå. Stedet er svært moderne - det er som en romslig leilighet i NYC eller Johannesburg med moderne utførelser som u lett kan glemme at du er i Cuba. Verten var snill å foreslå et sted for salsa leksjoner og selv gikk oss der. Damen som hjelper ham er svært profesjonelle og holder alt veldig rent. Dette var den beste casa i vår to ukers tur i Cuba og middag som verten forberedt var også det beste måltidet fra en casa for hele turen - også bedre enn restaurantene vi gikk til i Trinadad. Vi elsket også Canchanchara cocktailer som de forberedt på vår ankomst :) Pepe har også en romslig terrasse med deco som gjør u føler at du er på en gresk øy. Vi elsket casa så mye at vi bodde mer innendørs enn ute :) stor verdi for pengene

Vi likte absolutt oppholdet på dette stedet. Anbefaler det til alle. Vil bo på dette stedet igjen.

Elsket dette stedet! Ren, moderne, romslige og vennlig vertskap! Jeg likte å bo på Jose hus. Frokost var den beste jeg hadde på Cuba! Jeg ville helt komme tilbake hit hvis jeg har en sjanse til å besøke Trinidad igjen. Takk skal du ha!

Dette var vår favoritt Casa opphold under våre 15 dagers tur rundt Cuba! Vi hadde tilgang til hele hele oppe med et fantastisk kjøkken, to bad og herlige soverom med to senger (single og double). Pepitin var svært imøtekommende og hjalp oss med alt vi trengte! En annen flott kvinne (glem hennes navn) tilberedes oss mest fantastiske frokost hver morgen - frukt, juice, egg, salater og ferske bakverk! Hun gikk alltid ut av hennes måte å sørge for at min mor og jeg likte oppholdet, inkludert frokost, rengjøring og klesvask! Plasseringen er også lett walkable til byen (ca 10-12 min gange til Plaza Mayor). Hva en fantastisk opphold! Vi håper å være tilbake snart !!

We loved everything about the condo and would definitely stay there again. The location is outstanding, only a block away from the best part of the beach (Mamitas Beach) and two blocks away from 5th Avenue. Everything you need (convenience stores, several good bars and restaurants, a scuba shop) is all right there. The roof top terrace was the best part. Incredible view, great pool, and nice relaxing furniture. We spent a whole day up there. You can see Cozumel. The condo is spotless. Manolo and his assistants (Renzo and Juan) treated us perfectly. Try Hangover Bar on the corner. I highly recommend Fusion for dinner. Enjoy!!

The condo was amazing, the location was great, there was some problem with the lock door and bathroom but Renzo was very quick to fiz our problems.

The communication between Manolo and Renzo was very quick. The responses were almost instantaneous. They have great instructions on how to get to the condo from Cancun. The apartment was perfect. It was one block away from the beach and Mamitas Beach Club and Fifth Avenue. Everything you need is in the apartment. The rooftop terrace with the pool is a great bonus. At night you get a security guard for extra security but it isn't really needed since the area is really safe. I highly recommend this condo.

WOW was the first thing that I said when I saw the place. It was amazing. So well lit, decorated, clean, safe, sleek and classy. I felt like a princess in a modern castle! The roof top pool was amazing and it overlooked the beach, truely magical. It was a step to the beach and a few more to 5th Ave where all the action is. As for Manolo, unfortunately I never got the chance to meet him but he had some people look after me in his absence that were amazing and very available if I had any questions. Highly recommend this place and I would definitely revisit again!!

From the moment we arrived in Playa del Carmen and met with our host Renzo, we felt like family being taken care of! We cannot speak highly enough on his generousity and acts of service - that went above an beyond! Before we even arrived he had stocked the fridge with snacks and drinks of choice, as an added special touch for my boyfriends big bday trip. In addition he arranged rooftop massages by the AMAZING Alma and made dinner reservations at a few great recommended spots in town! Romeo's ...... BEST find by far and the most delicious and enjoyable dining experience while there. The chef was expecting us, called me by name and prepared a special birthday desert, along with complimentary limoncello. AMAZING. Again .... all this - thanks to Renzo. The unit itself was very nice. Contemporary, clean and the rooftop seals the deal (as many write in their reviews). The pool up top is perfect, the lounge beds nice and even a gym and bathroom to use as desired. It was relatively quiet our entire stay and it only added to the romance and ease of use when it came to the top deck. In way of amenities there were a few minor touch ups needed: the shower handle, along with a few drawer handles came loose and just need to be tightened up. In addition the toilet is finicky when it comes to flushing. Also would have loved a few more nice pans in the kitchen - yet appreciated all the appliances and utensils that were there. No deal breakers here and nothing that a once over handyman "touch up" couldn't remedy. As one that travels to Playa on a regular I will definitely consider again for a future stay as it was WONDERFUL .... location, comfort, style and most of all SERVICE! Top notch :-) Thanks much for the hospitality Renzo and Manolo! Angela & Cole

This place was clean, beautiful, cozy, and perfectly situated by the beach. The view is outstanding!

What a lovely condo! Beautiful and clean with a lovely rooftop pool, walking distance from the beach. What else could you ask for? Playa Del Carmen is a party town so bring earplugs for sleeping.

This place is fantastic - my wife and I really enjoyed the location and the hospitality of Manolo's team. The condo is very clean, perfect size for two people and a good layout. The pool on the roof is as advertised and a nice beach club is a block away. Zero complaints - I would come back and highly recommend to all.

Vi kom sent og vårt rom var pent venter på oss. Arkitekturen av huset er noe du kanskje har sett på tv, det har en indre gårdsplass der vi hadde våre innbydende drinker og frokost neste dag. Stemningen var virkelig flott. De har også gitt en parkeringsplass for oss.

Luis er en fantastisk vert. Hvis du ikke har noen plan i Trinidad, kan han hjelpe deg med å lage en fantastisk plan. Han kan oppfylle mange forskjellige forespørsler. Han smiler alltid til og samtaler med oss noen fantastiske ting. Og hans middag og frokost er "må" prøve alternativet. Fiskene i frokost er velsmakende og svinekjøtt og hummer middager er fantastisk. Vi spiste hver frokost i hans casa og nesten hver middag, og veldig fornøyd. Super foreslå dette Casa i Trinidad.

Dette er et bra sted å bo i Trinidad. Flott beliggenhet i sentrum av gamlebyen; Luis er en suuuper vennlig vert og snakker godt engelsk (og jeg så ham ta engelske briller en dag - denne herren er motivert for å bli enda bedre. Rene, romslige, moderne rom, god dusj og seng, god frokost. Inngangen til huset er århundrer gammel og oser karakter Anbefaler sterkt

Tusen takk for gjestfriheten Luis. Du var så vennlige og hjelpsomme. Hans plass er i en perfekt beliggenhet. Bare en kort spasertur til alt og Luis kan ordne alt du ønsker fra mat til drosjer. Han var fantastisk og definitivt Trinidad var min fav sted i Cuba. Jeg kan ikke vente med å komme tilbake og minst tilbringe to hele dager. Casa de er akkurat som det ser ut i hans pics

Rommet er komfortable, super nær sentrum av byen, og i gangavstand fra busstasjonen. Våre verter var hyggelig og nyttig!

Luis er en stor hær og ønsker å imøtekomme på alle måter han kan. Du kan stole på ham til å sette deg opp med noen gode opplevelser. Huset hans er i en god plassering uten å være rett på toppen av støyende musikk arenaer. Innkvarteringen er svært enkle og grunnleggende, ikke noe fancy. Senger i et lite rom med minimal møbler og eget bad. Tilgang til en åpen gårdsplass i tillegg.

Luis var en veldig snill mann, og han gjør en fantastisk frokost. "Fisken" er et must med frokost, og jeg beklager at vi ikke får det hver morgen. Vi bare bodde her to netter. Casa ligger sentralt og har en svært rustikk appell. Rommet er enkel, men privat. Luis gjorde alt for å gjøre oppholdet behagelig. Takk skal du ha.

punto de partida ideal para Trinidad y sus alrededores, muy agradable y atento anfitrión. el desayuno y la cena recomendable mucho. Tenemos mucho de nuestra estancia en esta casa particular. El propietario es muy atento y sirve un gran desayuno y la cena. Situado en la ciudad, es un lugar perfecto para alojarse y podemos lo recomiendo mucho.

Really lovely house with a fantastic view. We spent 10 days here over Christmas and had a great time. The pool, house and garden are great and the beach is a walk away, down a steep hill though.

First time booking Airbnb.. fell in love with this house and when we arrived everything was true to the post!! Fantastic view, Rogelio & Reina, caretakers were waiting for us with a big smile, they then made our stay wonderful by assisting with setting up Wi-Fi, the house and food. We received welcome coffee which worked out great! We loved that the villa is very spacious, well equipped with utensils, towels, and even some toiletries. You will not miss a thing.. well maybe some extra days to enjoy even more!! Thank you Wally for your excellent and prompt attention to last minute questions. Please extend once again our gratitude to Rogelio, Pamela and Reina :) We enjoyed it a lot and are already planning our next time to Terrenas-Paradise!

A very nice house with an amazing view. The house itself is very clean and confortable. The house looks great both from inside and outside and is decorated with taste. The view from the balcony is breathtaking The villa is nice and comfortable, the kitchen is well-stocked and all the things you need (plenty of dishes, glasses, cookware etc), with great appliances, furniture, a new laundry machine, a new refrigerator, towels, beach towels. The Wi.Fi. was outstanding (which is unusual in las Terrenas area) because Wally decided to install 2 Wifi connections and both of them worked very well (watching Netflix, downloading movies , videos or files was not an issue) , great service. The views from the verandahs the fresh air and the tranquility here are gold. You can reach the beutiful Playa Coson beach along on foot, it is calm and peaceful, lush and green. The location is very peaceful and only a short walk down to the beach with it's amazing waves. The house is in a convenient location not far from the nice Las Terrenas just 5 minutes driving but far enough from noise and cahotic town of Las Terrenas. We had an excellent stay at this beautiful villa. It was much more spacious than we'd imagined from the pictures, the outside area was really pleasant and the pool was delightful always kept clean (by the house caretaker Rogelio, always available) and was great for relaxing by and for the children. I would recommend renting a car if you stay there (and Wally and Rogelio were great with helping us with that) so you can get all around the Samanà peninsula and visit loads of beautiful beaches. Rogelio & Reina were attentive and attended to our requests greatly. The area is amazing - close to some gorgeous spots and very beautiful. Thank you for sharing and hosting us in your beautiful spot.

La estancia en Coson fue maravillosa. La casa tiene unas vistas increíbles y Wally y Rogelio fueron muy amables con nosotros La casa es igual que en las fotos y pasamos Unos días increíbles. Gracias

Just one world : Amazing view and area ! This is the first time ever i wanted to go back just after my flight landed in New york. I would love to spend all my WE there. You have different beaches all beautiful, many different kind of restaurant ( french community there) , snorkeling, diving, spring fall, kite surf..... Music speakers quite strong! Moreover, communication was perfect ( fast, many informations) and there were people on the site to help us for ANYTHING ( local Alcohol, ice, charcoal etc...)

The house was even more beautiful than the photos! The view is breathtaking--you have a view of both the serene ocean and the luscious greenery surrounding it. It can be tricky to find, but Wally provides very clear and detailed instructions. When you arrived, Rogelio was waiting for us at the gate, and was very friendly upon greeting us, even though it was almost 1am! The home is very spacious, with lots of windows to enjoy the beautiful views. There is also wifi provided, which was extremely fast. There is also a gate that Rogelio closes at night at the entry to the homes, which made us feel even more safe during our stay. My friend and I did not rent a car, but were able to find a motorcycle taxi who agreed to drive us anywhere we wanted to go for our entire stay. I recommend renting a car, but if you don't, this is a great way to get around, while also supporting a local. Instead of using tourist companies to go on excursions, we used our taxi friend and his brother, who had their friends and family take us to some amazing places. We horse back road to the waterfall in El Limon, which i HIGHLY recommend. It comes with a decent hike, but the view is worth it. Once to the falls, you can relax and swim with others. There is even a small underwater cave to explore. Every beach you can go to is extremely beautiful, so I recommend all! Wally provides several recommendations before arrival, which came in great hand. The town of Las Terrenas is very chaotic, but everyone was fun and friendly. My friend and I had the absolute time of our lives here, and will never forget this vacation!!

This is a great place to relax. The house is clean, beautiful and very spacious. It has an amazing view from all the rooms. Everything is as described. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Our stay at Wally's Villa could not be any better. The location,the villa and the service we got were all amazing. The house had everything we needed, and the pool and the views were just wonderful. I specially want to mention Rogelio, the person who took care of us and helped us with anything we needed. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Las Terranes and this villa, so I recommend it to anybody who is willing to relax a few days at one of the best places I have ever visited.

Si lo que buscan es escapar de todo, este es el lugar ideal, el ambiente es insuperable, y la atención de Lazare y Carmen es de primera, ellos harán lo que sea por hacerte sentir cómodo. Una de las cosas que más disfruté, fue poder compartir con personas de distintas partes del mundo, fue realmente agradable. Las cabinas tienen lo necesario para su comodidad. Los amaneceres, los atardeceres y las noches son espectáculos mágicos aquí. Es obligatorio hacer snorkeling cerca del arrecife, es una experiencia casi de otro mundo. La comida, especialmente los desayunos, son espectaculares y siempre hay una cerveza fría para acompañarlos ( no olviden apuntarlo en la pizarra :) ) si aman a los perritos, acá encontrarán amor de sobra. Disfrútenlo!

Wow! I could not have had a better experience. The hill house was lovely and Ulrich couldn't have been more hospitable. I played a set at the local eatery at Sunday lunch to a great group of people. It was a wonderful adventure; snorkeling, kayaking and wake boarding. The deck hammock was my favorite spot to relax and write songs. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone.

Our stay here was really incredible. After a half hour boat ride (if you're lucky like us, you'll encounter a school of dolphins), you are taken to a secluded retreat. It's quiet, in nature, and absolutely beautiful. The hill house: We stayed in the hill house, which was surprisingly well equipped and really bug proof (though of course there are still bugs). There is an amazing view from the terrace and it had everything we needed. It is a bit of a walk uphill, but totally reasonable and a good workout ;) The food: I highly recommend going for the meal plan. For ten bucks a meal it's great value, and the food was always varied and delicious. You'll enjoy plenty fresh fruit smoothies, coconut water, and tasty, filling food. Special shout-out the burger we had one night, who knew that one of the best burgers I'd have would be on an island off of Panama? The caretaker: Lazare was an incredibly accommodating and friendly host. We really enjoyed his company and really appreciated everything he did to make our stay as great as it was. Overall, our stay was awesome. We stayed for 4 nights; we kayaked to dolphin bay one day, and took the floating dock out into the water in the middle of the night on a full moon on another. On sunday we went to a restaurant across the bay for a long, bloody-mary'd brunch. There is a diving board going off the reef cabin that proves to be much fun, and the snorkeling in the area is great. However, the secluded nature of the place and the natural beauty does owe to the fact that is completely rural, so you shouldn't be expecting the comfort of a five star hotel. That being said, our stay was completely comfortable and we had everything we needed. Bring some good bug spray, sunscreen of course, and a few bottles of wine. We stayed in Bocas Town for two nights afterwards and totally regretted it because we missed the place and the people there.

Love this place - I've stayed in both the Hill House and the little loft with the diving board. The Hill House is great for seclusion and privacy, but be prepared to hike up that hill. The loft is nice because you can literally jump into the lagoon from your room, but you are also right above the common area. I'm an introvert so I don't like being near the common area, so preferred the Hill House for privacy, but then had to be willing to climb far up and down to get between the water and our room. Over all both great stays and I'd go again.

Wow! what a wild experience. We were a big group on a healing retreat and spent a whole week fully immersed in nature. Swimming with the bioluminescence at night was the MOST MAGICAL thing I've ever done in my life. Lazare's cooking was delicious, Carmen made sure everything ran smoothly, & Daisy was super sweet. Although it seemed like our needs were different than most people who come through, the team worked hard to accommodate us, and for that I am grateful! We felt like the pirates of paradise.

I am a pretty experienced traveller who visited more than 50 countries backpacking, for business and vacation with family. I am impressed with the comfort Ulrich has been able to bring to such a remote and nature intense location. 3KW of solar panels, drinking water in a quantity to let 8 people take shower, clean cloths and cook without problems. A good internet connection though a wifi bridge to the continent. Daily cleaning service and a boat driver to take you around the islands looking for great beaches, dolphins (many!) or simply exploring. The location is also very good for snorkelling (note that underwater visibility in Bocas is never excellent, but the corals are great) and safe swimming. We stayed there with 4 friends and our 2 kids (3 years old and 1 year old). The water house is not the place where you would leave them alone if they don't know how to swim. We end up by taking the boat to go to close beaches during the day and that worked very well. You can keep insects out of the house easily if you manage the nets and lights correctly. But if you are too much scared about bugs, this is probably not the right place for you. I strongly recommend this place to any world traveller looking for great nature, privacy and good conforts. I recommend to read Ulrich notes very well because it helps you understand how to take the most from your stay. Thank you Ulrich for the great experience!

This is a fabulous and special place! It's not for everybody - It's not for someone that doesn't like the outdoors and wants to be pampered in a resort. There are plenty of those places, but this is quite unique and special. This is is for people that want to see and be close to all kinds of fabulous nature in a gorgeous and largely unspoiled area, where you might get fish for dinner from an indigenous fisherman paddling by. You will get coconut water a minute after it was chopped from the tree. You'll see an amazing coral reef that's underneath your feet and your bed. I counted at least a half-dozen corals, a dozen invertebrates, and lots of different fishes. All this with good internet ((SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) video works well), good solar power and rainwater or bottled water. I used the Internet to keep up on some work things, learn about coral and the area, and to post pictures that made my friends want to join me. The hosts, Dorene and Lazare, are friendly and helpful. I took the meals option, which I would recommend, especially for a short stay. As others mentioned, you should read the advice about preparations. By all means take precautions against bug bites. The rooms are well screened, but when you go out, especially morning or late afternoon, use your favorite bug protection method. I got complacent after a couple days and then they got me! But I would go back in a heartbeat and I miss it already. So maybe next year another visit!

Upon arrival i was greeted in town by the caretaker Eduardo. At first you will be surprised at his young age of 21. He took us to the retreat and the ride was not bad at all. Before we had come to Panama I inquired to the owner, Ulrich, about the level of danger present in Bocas, and his specific house. I have been on high guard Ever since a very recent near death encounter traveling through Mexico. We chose to stay in the house over the water but when we got there he said we could only stay in the hill house because he was living in the water house. were tired and and it was quite late we went right to bed. The next day when we saw the house in the daylight. The place in the ad claims to be rustic. Rustic I'm used to, i've camped in a tent for two months, but this place was just dirty. The floors had dead geckos everywhere and mice poop that had been there for weeks. Anyway we ended up leaving on day 3 of 8 and made other plans. We decided to leave when the care taker Eduardo told us he used to do work in columbia but got in trouble from the cops and his name wasn't really Eduardo. :(

Leiligheten er veldig koselig. Elvin var tilgjengelig via tekst og svarte raskt på våre spørsmål og bekymringer. Den vedlikeholdsarbeider var tilgjengelig og imøtekommende til våre behov. Plasseringen er nær strender og en nærbutikk åpen 24 timer med varer. Wifi fungerte veldig bra.

Enorm erfaring, vakker beliggenhet. Ingen tvil om jeg vil være tilbake!

Oppholdet var fantastisk og stor glede, engasjement av hans hær, oppmerksomhet og omsorg gjort det mulig. Stedet har en beliggenhet det er nær alle typer turistattraksjoner, strender, restauranter, blant andre.

Det var litt vanskelig å finne huset, men Elvin retninger fikk oss der. Når på eiendommen er det fantastisk. Vi hadde rom 5 som var nylig oppusset og svært komfortable. AC fungerte bra, og det var en Roku at vi så Netflix på. Bassengområdet var definitivt en av de største attraksjonene. Det har en fantastisk utsikt og bassenget føltes fantastisk etter en lang dag med reise. Sengen, mens squeaky var så behagelig. Samlet vi hadde et fantastisk opphold og vil definitivt komme tilbake igjen

Super fin leilighet som var verdt prisen, rimelig i forhold til kvaliteten. Veldig fint basseng og godt plassert i den vakre byen Rincon!

Nydelig leilighet med privat terrasse og fin, men lite svømmebasseng. Veldig vakkert og nydelig dekorert. Hyggelig eier, trygt nabolag. 5 minutters kjøretur til stranden og mange fine restauranter. Huset er utstyrt for bare to personer, ville det ikke inn fire. Vi var 3 personer, men det var bare 2 plater, 2 kopper, 2 glass, etc. Sjekk-feilkommunikasjon (skal ha mottatt kode) og fravær / erstatte Elvin i ferien sin. Endte tre dager tilbrakt med en brukket kjøleskap som var en skam.

Utmerket sted, veldig koselig, rent nær stranden og restauranter.

Vi hadde en flott 5-dagers opphold i Rincon! Selv om huset var vanskelig å finne på første- Elvin svarte raskt med nyttige retninger. Selv om vi ikke kommer til å møte Elvin, han var svært nyttig via tekst og tilbys gode restaurant / bar anbefalinger. Leiligheten var stor, veldig koselig med perfekt beliggenhet. Men du trenger en leiebil for å komme seg rundt. Vakre bassengområdet så vel! Jeg vil absolutt anbefale å bo her :)

Location was absolutely perfect. We walked in to town everyday and there was great restaurants. a 10 min taxi ride will get you to a great nightclub. Being right on the beach was the best part.

Bardzo podobało nam się do willi, widok był doskonały, byliśmy zaledwie kilka kroków od plaży, dom został całkowicie wyposażone, w pobliżu wszystko. Gospodarz był świetny, zawsze dostępne i bardzo miły. I na pewno zarezerwować ponownie.

It was amazing! I would totally recommend this house, the view is breath taking and the house is awesome, well equipped and very comfortable. I can't wait to go back!

Have you ever dreamed of waking up next to the beach? This is the place!!! It is the most central point of Bavaro and has all the amenities you'll need close by. The staff is attentive and totally cool. The house has everything you need for a great vacation. I will definitely return to stay in this house. Don't mind the electricity bill issue, I was for 2 night with A/C on every night for at least 7 hours straight and i paid around US$13 total. Thanks for everything...

Sonhos se tornam realidade! Até recentemente, nós não acreditamos que por um preço muito favorável obter exatamente o que você imaginou. Mas, quando nos trouxe para as malas casa, literalmente, caiu das mãos! Crianças gritou com prazer! Isso era exatamente o que a descrição !!! Hotel Cinco Estrelas em comparação. Esta é a melhor vista para o mar, provavelmente, toda a ilha! A praia é ótima e pode ser visto a partir do terraço da casa de campo vale cerca de segurança, nós silenciosamente lançou as crianças a nadar. Mesmos na maioria das vezes foram no terraço, até dormia lá: a brisa do mar é delicioso! Terraço - é a jóia da casa, tudo para as pessoas e ver que tudo é organizado com o amor. Localização excelente - muitos restaurantes e cafés, lojas, barracas com frutas e grandes lojas de souvenirs. Já estamos planejando a nossa próxima temporada aqui e nem sequer considerar outras opções. Só que desta casa de praia! É uma pena que eu não posso mostrar minhas fotos, porque tal beleza que todas as imagens como fotos de uma revista! Delícia completa!

La propriété est sur la plage !!! La liste est comme vous le voyez; Cependant, ce n'est pas une maison 5 étoiles. Ce serait une maison de 3 début. Vous pouvez dormir 7, mais 2 des lits sont dans le salon sans air conditionné. Vous ne payez pour l'électricité, qui était de 71 $ pour 5 nuits pour 6 personnes. Nous avons dû prendre un des matelas de la salle de séjour et de mettre sur le sol dans la chambre des maîtres. Les luminaires dans le bain et la cuisine sont datées. La douche dans la salle de bains principale est étroite, de sorte qu'une grande personne voudrait utiliser l'autre salle de bains. La cuisine était bien équipée, avec des plats datés et les appareils. Nous avons cuisiné le petit déjeuner et le déjeuner chaque jour et visité certains des restaurants locaux pour le dîner. Si vous prévoyez de cuisiner pendant votre séjour, je vous suggère d'apporter vos propres épices et condiments; autrement, vous devez acheter tout cela. La description est précise, juste un peu daté et maison bien usé. À notre arrivée, nous avons été accueillis par Anna. Elle était notre contact via What'sApp pendant notre séjour et très utile. La sécurité autour du complexe était très gentil et serviable aussi. Ma fille avait perdu son téléphone, et la sécurité nocturne trouvée. Milady, notre gardien de maison, nettoyée tous les jours sauf le dimanche. Nous avions quitté tôt le matin pour une excursion et à gauche de la vaisselle sale dans l'évier. A notre retour, il a été tout lavé. Nous nous sommes sentis terribles qu'elle avait fait, mais très reconnaissants. Autres suggestions pour les autres: apporter des vêtements de lavage si vous les utilisez pour le bain, lingettes nettoyantes, serviettes de plage (la leur ne sont pas absorbant), et le papier toilette (manqué). Je ne voudrais pas considérer cela comme une plage privée. Nous avons été approchés par de nombreux marchands ambulants. En fait, ils sont là toute la journée. Après un certain temps, ils nous ont laissés tranquilles. Si je devais visiter à nouveau, je considérerais rester ici.

WHAT A VIEW !!! Questo è il miglior mare villa fronte in tutta la Dominicana! Abbiamo svegliato con l'immagine fantastica della nostra terrasa e cadiamo un sonno con la stessa vista incredibile e brezza dall'oceano. La posizione è di 10 stelle: tutti raggiungibili a piedi! Il personale ci ha aiutato con ordinare la consegna di villa (generi alimentari, acqua, bibite, tutto). Spiaggia, sdraio, palme - tutto per noi! Torneremo di 200% !!!

Séjourner à Casa Belle était une incroyable partie de mon voyage. Idéalement situé et une vue incroyable. Jay n'a pas pu être là, mais il avait quelqu'un à la main si je besoin de quelque chose.

Jay was geweldig en het huis was precies zoals beschreven. De uitzichten zijn geweldig en de bedden zijn super comfortabel.

The house was amazing! Extremely comfortable beds (not so common in CR), big spaces, beautiful bathrooms. The kitchen was stocked with what we needed (although it's a mini fridge so keep in mind if buying perishables). And don't forget the views! On the very top of a large hill (mini mountain?), which makes for an incredible vista. We only stayed one night but will definitely take advantage of this gorgeous house again!

The house is well placed, with lots of privacy, a fantastic view from the outdoor seating area and a quiet neighborhood. Jay was a gracious host, bringing us to the house, leaving coffee and breakfast to start our day. He promptly responded to questions and inquiries. The house looks just like the pictures but what you cannot see if how private it feels from the inside. It was a romantic and relaxing place to spend a few days. There is about a 20 min walk to the charming town center (but take an inexpensive cab home, the house is at the top of a very tall hill) and Atenas has enough to keep you pleasantly occupied for a few days.

This house is even better in person. We originally booked this for the view, but Jay was so accommodating! He had fruits on the table, some groceries in the fridge, and a music system. It was perfect!!!!

Fantastic location and one with nature is how we would describe Casa Bella. 30+ mins drive to San Jose and 1 hour 20mins from Jaco. Perched on top of the hill with inspiring views to the surrounding countryside, it was great choice for our last few days in Costa Rica. Jay's friend Cristian provided a warm welcome and some local tips. Great experience and definitely recommended.

Amazing place to stay...

The host is so clear and organize . He wrote me in details the directions and all the stuff that we can do in the area even the places that we can order food. He provided breakfast for us . There a TV with many choices of movies . The place is so beautiful and clean ! One of my favourite place to stay in Costa Rica !

Nice cabin directly in Porti. Good starting point to everywhere. Amazing view. But a lot of steps up there. Thanks for all.

Amazing in every way!! Rain and all this place helped make our trip magical. Definitely for the adventurer and free spirit. The view and accommodations are worth the 300 step trek... So very worth it! Owner even met us with umbrellas in the rain and had red stripe waiting in the fridge. One thing for sure is take advantage of the outdoor shower, I totally got my life showering out in nature's oasis. This is now our must stay place for Porti, we will definitely be back! It was 3 of us and we were very comfortable. The hammock in the room is cozy. Everything is simple living, an experience for all. This place is for your soul!

The most amazing place to stay in Jamaica! Definitly our best experience on our trip through Caribbean! Michael was a good host! We stayed for only one night, wish we could stay for 5 more. Will come back!

Michael's place is superb. He is a great host and the place is in a great location. Good vibes every time!!! Beautiful views and nice little houses.

Yes it's true... 250 steps! every day... two times... but guess what? It is worth it!!!! Go to Mango Ridge and enjoy the property as well the wonderfull sight over Port Antonie. You really feel like being in the jungle... Michael and his family will are lovely people. Go check it out! Bastian, Clara and Zoé

Our experience at the Sunrise cabin was really special. Mango Ridge is a hidden nature retreat right outside the town of Port Antonio. It's easy to walk down into the town and meet the local folks to have a more authentic experience of the area. Home was very clean, super cool and had a great view of the water and town. The accommodations are simple, but you'll have everything you need. It's wonderful to hear the nature and music being played by the neighbors and it's really awesome walk up the stairs through the jungle to get compound. Michael is a accommodating, interesting and kind person.

Mango Ridge is spectacular, a secluded treetop escape. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

The reservation was canceled 15 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Vi elsket denne familien! Roberto, Tancy og barna var fantastisk. De var lett å henge med, snill og ekte mennesker. Vi var trist å si farvel. De også koblet oss med en flott guide / sjåfør for å se severdigheter rundt Baracoa. Huset deres var komfortabelt og rent. Utsikten over bukten og havet var nydelig. Maten var veldig bra. Huset er flere kvartaler fra sentrum av byen. Det er i en flott beliggenhet. Bo i huset sitt og sørge for å henge ut med dem litt.

Roberto og Tarcy var utmerket vertskap ... veldig nyttig, vennlig og sjarmerende. Frokost på terrassen med utsikt over El Yunque og bukten var en godbit. Rommet var veldig hyggelig og maten var enestående.

Tarcy приятно, смешно и полезно. Захватывающая настройка. Все хорошо, несомненно, снова остановиться. Большое спасибо за помощь, чтобы сделать нашу первую поездку на Кубу запоминающейся и проще! Ужин огромен! Tarcy дружелюбен, весело и полезно. Захватывающая настройка. Все хорошо, несомненно, остаться здесь еще раз. Большое спасибо за помощь сделать нашу первую поездку на Кубу запоминающейся и проще! Ужин огромен!

Tarcy es una persona encantador y muy simpática. Hace todo que se pueda para que sus invitados se sienten bienvenidos y cómodos. Todo muy limpio. Camas cómodas. La terraza arriba es una gozada, ideal para desayunar, cenar, leer o simplemente relajar. Solo el cuarto de delante tiene vistas pero lo de atrás es mas tranquilo. La playa mas cercana está en bastante mal estado debido al huracán del octubre pasado. Hay que coger un taxi para llegar a los otros que sale a unos 20-25 CUC

We have been in Roberto's and Tarcy's Casa from 10. to 15. November 2016. Tarcy has given us a very warm welcome and provided help and information, whenever needed. The breakfast was good and the dinner we had one evening was with the best coconut salsa in Baracoa. The view from the roof terrace is beautyful. As well, she recomended us a local guide for some tours we made. We can 100% recommend the Casa from Roberto and Tarcy

En raison de surbooking (!) nous avons été accueillis dans la Csas Particular d'une voisine très sympathique. Par contre le logement ne correspondait pas à un logement entier mais à une chambre sur un étage comportant 4 chambres particulières et une cuisine commune. L'accueil était toutefois très chaleureux et l'appartement comportait un balcon avec une vue imprenable sur la baie.

We loved Tarcy! She called the airport to check on our flight, arranged the taxi, fixed wonderful breakfasts and a delicious lobster, shrimp in coconut sauce, white fish dinner. She also arranged our one and only beach time while in Cuba at a beautiful beach with mojitos. She's learning English and doing quite well!

I had a FABULOUS time in Baracoa & one of the reasons had to do with the fantastic accommodations I found using Airbnb! Roberto and his family provided this wonderful haven, consisting of comfortable beds & room, the most luxurious, clean bathroom & shower (--the hot water worked!!), and delicious breakfasts and dinner and kind and gracious hospitality! The location is great, not too far from the main plaza, but far enough away so that it was relatively quiet; roosters waking up before the crack of dawn only added to the ambiance of Baracoa! When I return to Baracoa, I definitely would stay here!!

The apartment is perfect for Playa. 1min to the beach. 5min to 5th Avenue with all the restaurants and stores. Just a short summary: Great terrace for breakfast. Got every day breakfast from a nearby store and spend 1h in the sun and listening to the see. Watching the stars at night with a Corona - priceless and let you rethink your life. Perfect communication with Ben and Andrea via Whatsup. They were always there when you needed them. Late check-out? No problem! Ben also send me a list with the best value for money restaurants in Playa. Really helpful. Reliable internet. We used to watch Apple TV movies. Comfortable bed with anti mosqito net (helps a lot). I would not hesitate a second to recommend the apartment. PS: Best welcome present: 5 Coronas in the fridge.

I did not personally meet Ben, but he was very responsive by email, and his representative Andrea met us at the apartment. It is in a lovely, and very convenient location within easy walking distance to beach, shops and 5th Avenue. I especially enjoyed the view of the trees and ocean from the balcony. The apartment is not as big as depicted in the pictures, and it is in need of a little tlc. I had an issue with the toilet seat being broken, but Ben got this fixed quickly. It is in a nice, quiet area except for some noisy neighborhood dogs, which really didn't bother me too much. I do prefer a darker room for sleeping but some well placed towels really helped. The stairs up are quite steep and I don't think this would be a great place for elderly or young kids. The pool looked nice, but we didn't use it with the beach so close by. Overall, it was a adequately equipped and with a little work will be a great place to stay.

Benoit's place is simply perfect. Just a few steps from the beach, for the most part away from the noise, yet close enough to anything and everything that you might need. The apartment itself is cool, comfortable, and an ideal place to relax. Everything just worked out perfectly.

This place is in a great location. Walking distance to 5th ave and if you have a car you can drive around easily too. Great pool to cool off in, the beach wasn't great a lot of seaweed and a sewage smell.

The place is really nice

Ben's place is in an excellent location just a block from the beach. The apartment is lovely and Ben was very friendly & helpful as we were arriving, directing us to a friend of his to pickup the keys & offering tips about the region and the neighborhood. There is an electricity poll immediately outside the balcony, which I felt got in the way of good photos or feeling your ocean view is completely unobstructed but it is still a very beautiful ocean view, especially at night on a full moon. We slept with the windows open & the fan on & this was very comfortable. There are some nice restaurants & shops nearby which are not as touristy as 5th Ave, this is a great perk. The neighbors were very friendly as well. Great apartment!

WE HAD A FABULOUS TIME! Ben left us a bottle of wine + a fruit plate and water in the fridge to welcome us. His apartment was exactly as described and what the pictures show. Just fantastic. The location is at the north end of Playa del Carmen just minutes away from Avenida 5th and 100m away from the beach. The only not ideal things were that there was construction going on during our stay and they turned off the water several times. Also the beach right next to the apartment is not very big. Go there you will love it. Rica and Arne

Merci infiniment pour ce merveilleux séjour. L'appartement nous a offert du repos, avec beaucoup de romantisme. Nous avons adoré la terrasse et le hamac, un vrai plus! Ainsi que les boissons mis à disposions qui nous ont fait directement nous sentir comme à la maison ;) L'emplacement est ideal, à deux pas de l'océan d'un coté et de la rue principale de l'autre. Benoît est plein de bons conseils et de bonnes adresses. Nous reviendrons!

Our stay at Coco Lodge was fantastic. The bungalow is very privat and everything is in great shape. We really enjoyed spending time cooking outside and relaxing on the deck and in the pool. The surrounding is unbelievable, it is the perfect hideaway in the jungle, yet very well located. It is easy to reach everything in the southern part of Martinique. We can really recommend to spend some time of your holiday here.

Séjour inoubliable. Nous avons été super bien accueillis par Camille et Sébastien qui durant tout notre séjour ont toujours été aux petits soins pour nous, avaient toujours le sourire, de bons conseils à nous donner, bref ils nous ont fait nous sentir comme à la maison. Le Coco Lodge est exactement comme sur les photos, le cadre est magique, les oiseaux et lézards sont nos seuls voisins, c'est calme et reposant, bref tout était parfait et nous reviendrons si c'est possible avec grand plaisir. Ce Coco Lodge et son cadre nous manque déjà. Merci à tous les deux c'était une chouette rencontre.

Tout était parfait et plein de bonnes surprises et de découvertes. L'environnement était superbe nous avons adorés cette sensation d'être dehors tout en étant confortablement installées. Nous avons gardées les fenêtres ouvertes jours et nuits pour profiter de l'air si doux ; pas besoin de climatisation, un léger courant d'air est bien plus agréable et nous avons vraiment aimé d'être bercées par le chant des oiseaux nocturnes et des grenouilles. Et jamais de ma vie je n'avais vu des lucioles ! Elles se mélangeaient avec les étoiles filantes :-) C'était un vrai rêve que l'on n'oubliera jamais et que j'espère retrouver ! Si vous aimez la nature vous serez aux premières loges du matin au soir, n'oubliez pas vos jumelles, il y a pleins d'oiseaux à observer et des magnifiques petits lézards à l'oeil vif ;-)

Excelllent small hut in a beatiful valley in the mountains of Martinique. The hut is fully equipped with everything that a traveller needs. It was a very nice experience to drink Ti Punch on the veranda during sundown and watch the humingbirds visit the nearby banana plants.

Un endroit vraiment jolie dans la végétation, très agréable pour des vacances. Nous recommandons cet endroit.

Logement paradisiaque calme et reposant, idéal pour des vacances, très bien décoré, piscine très agréable, notre hôte aux petits soins, des mangues, bananes et citrons du jardin à volonté tous les jours, de bons conseils pour les sorties.

Magnifique logement très bien pensé, propre fonctionnel avec un bon accueil! Nous avons apprécié notre séjour. Merci à vous

Excellent séjour au Coco lodge, une vraie coupure au milieu de la nature et en parfaite intimité. Description plus que conforme à la réalité, même mieux en vrai. Hôtes très sympathiques, et case hyper cosy, je recommande vivement ! Mais ne pas avoir peur des petites bêtes inévitables en pleine nature bien que certaines offrent un joli spectacle (dance de lucioles dans la nuit). À bientôt !

Our stay in Villa del Mar Azul was perfect. Stefano is a very helpful and kind person who made everything that we had a wonderful stay in Playa. His Villa is a really beautiful place, quiet and ideally situated, near to the beach and not too close to a noisy 5Av. The perfect place to appreciate a charm of Playa del Carmen.

It was pleasure to stay at Villas del Mar Azul. Stefano and his wife, Paula, are wonderful people and hosts. Paula met us when we arrived and showed around the house. We felt very welcomed. Our place was very clean, quiet, cozy and comfy. They advised us what places we should see and even organized a swim with Dolphins on the same day as we wanted. Also, they gave us good tips where we should eat and those places were great. We were sad that we couldn't book one more day at their place because Villas del Mar Azul was fully booked. But Stefano was very helpful in advised us of other places to stay. I wish all Airbnb places would be like Villas del Mar Azul. Thanks a lot for a relaxing time!

Place was really nice and comfy. Everything was exactly like on pictures. It was like Fata Morgana in the middle of Playa del Carmen. Stefano was very nice and VERY HELPFUL. He helped us even when we got into problems with local police while driving a rented car. If I decide to visit Playa del Carmen again, I'lldefinitely stay with Stefano again.

es un lugar perfecto para relajarse y descansar,muy cerca de todo y bien comunicado,la pareja es muy atenta y siempre se interesa por solucionarte cualquier duda y facilitar tu estadia en su bello lugar,muchas gracias chicos fue un gran placer.

Yet to stay due to changed booking

We only stayed one night. The place was just as described and displayed in the pictures. The room was perfectly clean and very nice. Stefano and his wife were very friendly and helpful. It's about a 10min bike ride to the city center (you can rent bikes from stefano). The beach is really close by and we went for a morning swim after breakfast.

Villas del mar is a wonderful place that Stefano has put together for a very nice relax and holiday. It is a very pretty construction with very well equipped apartments. We really liked our time here. It was clean, pretty, comfortable and 5 minutes from the touristic area of playa del Carmen. We would totally recommend it for a nice private holiday. Thanks Stefano!

We had a most excellent stay at Villas del Mar Azul. We had selected this listing based on the photos and comments from previous guests, and everything held true. While "a city never sleeps," it was actually quite quiet inside the apartment and we slept extremely well. The kitchen contained essential cookware and we loved having coffee each morning on the roof or in the terrace before venturing out for the day. The neighborhood felt very safe, and everyone we passed gave a warm smile. I personally loved being outside of the chaos of downtown, but in an authentic neighborhood. We felt like we got a greater taste for the true culture of Playa this way. Stefano and Paola were always quick to respond to our questions, and I felt they would have done anything for us. We got great recommendations from them and each day of our week-long stay was filled with a new and interesting experience. The price simply can't be beat... excellent value for the comfort and ambiance provided.

Dette er det beste stedet for en ekte ferie. Fra får gå, Raj var et fantastisk vertskap. Noen spørsmål jeg hadde ble besvart i løpet av minutter via e-post. Omfattende og nøyaktige veiledning og informasjon på vår plassering gjorde det lett å komme seg rundt uten stress. Beliggenheten er utenfor utrolig. Definitivt utenfor allfarvei, som mange har allerede sagt, men det er helt på best mulig måte. Villaen er rolig, og du kan ikke se noen eller noen andre villaer mens du bare slapper av og nyter utsikten. Bassenget og utsikten er fantastisk, og selv i regntiden når tordenvær rullet inn, det var fantastisk. Det er en strand på bunnen av bakken som er tilbaketrukket og føltes som vår egen private strand. Det finnes tabeller, slik at du kan pakke noen øl og mat og nyte en hyggelig piknik. Mitt eneste forslag ville være å kjøre ned (det er parkering) fordi åsene er bratt og vi slet med å gå opp igjen (må jobbe med det fitness). Huset er utstyrt med alt du trenger. Kjøkkenet hadde alle gryter, panner, og retter vi trengte. Badene ble fylt med masse håndklær. Det er også en vaskemaskin / tørketrommel for alle som er interessert. Og vi kan ikke glemme den utendørs gassgrill og brennere. Vi brukte det ofte, og det virkelig lagt til opplevelsen. Matlaging i regnet var det kjempegøy. Vi vil uten tvil være tilbake. Alle rundt A + erfaring.

Jeg er normalt ikke en lang anmelder, men jeg vil gjerne gjøre et unntak for Raj villa. Bildene ikke gjør dette stedet rettferdighet. Det var helt nydelig. Raj var svært nyttig hvert steg på veien og hadde oss exompletely forberedt for vårt opphold på dette paradiset. Mellom hjelpe sette oss i kontakt med folk som kjørte villaen, som gir lister over hva du skal ta med og hva du kan forvente, var vi i stand til å bare slappe av og nyte turen. Jeg vil anbefale dette stedet til alle jeg kjenner ønsker å dra til Costa Rica.

Denne villaen ble en drøm som går i oppfyllelse! Min mann og jeg tilbrakte 5 netter her på vår bryllupsreise og elsket hvert minutt; som andre anmeldere har nevnt, bildene ikke gjør det rettferdighet. Raj var så nyttig fra tid vi booket stedet, sende informasjon om landet, og mange morsomme aktiviteter. Arlene gjorde at vi lett kunne bestille aktiviteter og gitt informasjon mens vi var der. Villaen er faktisk utenfor allfarvei og er drivkraften var spennende, gjør at du leie en 4WD kjøretøy! Men det var nok av ting å gjøre i løpet av et par timers kjøring, og vi hadde en flott tid å utforske den sørlige enden av Nicoya halvøya. Vi hadde også god tid til å slappe av ved bassenget med den vakreste utsikten du kan tenke deg, og nøt massasje på bassengkanten med Anja. Jeg vil anbefale dette stedet!

Dette var et fantastisk hjem! Som andre har skrevet, er det enda bedre i person. Raj var utmerket i sin hosting fra start til slutt. Han sendte en e-post med spørsmål om vi hadde gjort det greit på vår ankomstdagen. Arlene var like nyttig, viser oss til villaen og anbefale ting å gjøre, steder å se. Internett-tilkoblingen var fantastisk og rask nok til å streame Netflix for kiddos i kveld. Det er et vakkert hjem, i en by som ikke føles som en turistfelle. Den lille stranden i nærheten var nydelig. Jeg absolutt anbefale dette til alle som er litt interessert eller tenker på å besøke Costa Rica. Det var veldig varmt og tok et par dager for oss å få acclimated til varmen. Det er inge(URL HIDDEN)hovedrommet, men soverommene var fint og kjølig.

Jeg er redd min anmeldelse kommer til å bli veldig repeterende, ekko de andre du har lest. Alle av oss kan ikke være galt. Dette stedet er ganske utrolig. Jeg har aldri sett en så perfekt utsikt. Du har faktisk to peer rundt et hjørne for å se et annet hus, det er en på hver side, men de er mye lavere og gjemt tilbake. Bassenget / patio tilbyr en solid 180 utsikt over Nicoya Bay, og det er rett og slett perfekt. Vi likte dette stedet så mye, at jeg bare måtte spørre kjæresten min til å gifte meg med denne visningen i bakgrunnen. (Jeg skriver fra hennes konto) Vi vil aldri glemme tiden vi brukte på Roma del Mar. Huset er den beste delen av turen. Surround sound virkelig setter stemningen og gjorde huset føles som vårt med våre favorittlåter spiller i hvert rom. Jeg må være uenig med mange anmeldelser på ett notat, den lokale stranden, bare nedover grusveien, var en personlig stranden, nydelig og innbydende. Kysten består av brutt ned skjell, som var morsomt å se på og og ikke så verst på bare føtter. Det er litt steinete i vannet, men det er varmt, veldig privat, og så i nærheten. Vi var sparker oss fordi vi ventet til den siste dagen til å våge nedover veien. Stranden er verdt en stopp, det føltes som vår stranden for 2 hele timer, bare oss og fuglene. Hvis du ønsker å se noen apekatter, gå ned til Playa Blanca, omtrent 10 minutter fra Roma Del Mar, når du forlater villaen, ta til venstre i stedet for en rett som vil ta deg til hovedveien. Det er en massiv tre i enden av veien når du treffer stranden. Det er rett ved siden av en tidligere bar, som har vært stengt i lang tid. Vi så vel over 20 små aper i dette treet, hylende svingende, og å være ganske aktiv i midten av dagen. Området virker litt sketchy, som andre lesere bemerket, men vi hadde ikke noe problem, og så et flott show. Du kan høre to grupper av små aper fra Raj hus, men heller ikke er så nær å holde deg våken om natten eller våkner du om morgenen, jeg var takknemlig for det. Til slutt, den lille markedet var stor, Arlene var nyttig og tilgjengelig, og Raj svarer på e-post så fort du kan forestille deg. Dette var veldig nyttig for oss når våre flyreiser ble slått to ganger i span av to dager. Vi fikk ikke gå glipp av noe takk til Raj og Arlene. Jeg håper å gå tilbake en dag, bringe noen venner med oss neste gang. Det er mye å utforske rundt området, men bare bor på huset, soaking i denne visningen, og å ha et par kalde Imperials vil alltid høres ut som himmelen for meg.

Det er en vakker villa strøk ser fantastisk. Komplekset roma del mar playa Naranjo ligger 5 minutter fra fergen, så praktisk! Arlene var svært imøtekommende og når denne tilleggsinformasjonen! Villa kan gå glipp av !!!

Vi ønsket å takke Raj for den vakre Villa, det var langt høydepunktet av ferien. Hjemmet er enda vakrere deretter bildene på airbnb og vi kunne bare ikke få nok av utsikten fra bakgården med utsikt over bukten. Vi brukte huset som en base som vi tok dagsturer og det fungerte perfekt siden fergen til Puntarenas er en 5 minutters kjøretur. Når det er sagt, er Arlene omsorg taker for Villa, og hun var fantastisk i å hjelpe oss med å bestille ulike aktiviteter som ziplining gjennom regnskogen, hest ridding, kajakkpadling, name it ... så mye å gjøre i Costa Rica. Vi vil absolutt anbefale dette hjemmet for en ferie og ville ikke nøle med å komme tilbake i fremtiden, det var fantastisk! Stefan og Jillian

Genoten van onze vakantie. We zouden terugkeren.

Jean-Jacques was kind enough to meet us at the ferry in Gustavia and then we followed him to his home up the hill which was FANTASTIC. The view is superb and the energy there is so tranquil, it is very lovely. We enjoyed it very much and hope to be back again soon!

My wife and I recently stayed for a week at Jean-Jacques' lovely home on St. Barth's. The experience was wonderful, and by the end of the week we felt as if it was our home on the island too! We loved having coffee on the deck every morning with awesome views of the island waking up, the proximity to all places of interest (by car), and the tranquility and quiet of being up in a mountain retreat after long days of beaching, eating, and shopping. Perhaps some of our best memories will be returning to the house with fresh bread, cheese, good wine, and other amazing French foods from the market for intimate twilight dinners with a view. Jean-Jacques was the perfect host, providing just the right amount of attention, and was always available for any needs. I'd recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a more intimate and local (but still convenient!) experience than what is offered in a resort. We would, and will, stay here again!

Amazing location on this small paradise island. We spent 5 days at JJ's place and enjoyed it very much. You need a rental car, not only to reach the accomodation, but to reach all the wonderful beaches. JJ as a host was great. He gave us recommendations about restaurants across the island and he had snorkeling gear and umbrellas we could use throughout our stay. If I come back to St Barths I would certainly stay here again and I will recommend this place to anyone who asks.

Tuvimos una maravillosa estancia en casa de Jean-Jacques '! El bungalow es perfecto. Te despiertas en la mañana para una vista increíble. Uno se siente como si se encuentra en un pequeño oasis tranquilo en la cima de la colina. La habitación está bien equipada con todo lo necesario, incluyendo una cama cómoda y una zona de cocina pequeña con cafetera y nevera. El baño es amplio, con una maravillosa ducha y acceso a una ducha exterior. Nos encantó el espacio de la cubierta al aire libre - un lugar muy agradable para tomar una copa de vino y ver la puesta de sol. Jean-Jacques era muy agradable. Él nos recibió con prontitud y nos llevó a la casa y luego nos dejó en paz que nos dice cómo contactar con él si necesitábamos algo.

Erstaunlich und erholsamen Aufenthalt bei Jean-Jacques wie immer, sehr hilfsbereit und freundliche Gastgeber, sehr empfehlenswert!

Our stay at JJ's was better than we could have even imagined. JJ greeted us at the ferry upon our arrival and patiently waited for us to get our rental car so we could follow him to the house. The room was perfect! Gorgeous property, clean home and amazing location. We cannot wait to return to St Bart's and book JJ's place again. Highly recommended!

Jean-Jacques era una grande schiera! Il suo posto è bellissimo e nascosto. Ha tutto ciò che si ha realmente bisogno - piccolo angolo cottura, bagno grande (due docce - out interno ed), e un grande letto con zanzariera! Si tiene a se stesso dietro un sacco di tende e porte coperte, ma è sicuramente in giro e felice di rispondere a qualsiasi domanda, se avete bisogno di qualcosa. Consiglio vivamente di soggiornare qui!

I would recommend 100%. It was just as described - clean, comfortable with great views and a pool. The pictures are totally accurate. Stay here if you can during your visit to St. Bart's.

We were staying at the Villa for 4 days. Located at the top of a hill. Beautiful view, surrounded by nature. Better have a car to access the property since there is a steep path. Other than that great stay. Andrew is a great host. Surf boards to rent if needed. I definitely recommend this property.

Andy was a wonderful host. He arranged an ATV for us, soon after we arrived. I definitely recommend an ATV over motorcycle or car. The roads are steep and bumpy! We loved the views from our top floor villa, which was very spacious and clean. We also enjoyed meeting the resident dogs and kitty. Made the place feel like home :). Highly recommend the Surf Vista Villas and we would come back and stay anytime. Santa Teresa is a great town full of beautiful beaches and great restaurants/shops. Andy also arranged a taxi and the ATV pickup for us before we left.

Santa Teresa and Surf Vista Villa were both amazing and beautiful. Andy was very helpful, with suggestions of places to eat, he helped us find a zip lining place, and even took us on a hike in the pouring rain! The view was unbeatable, and we really liked the outdoor cooking and eating, and felt comfortable. There is a definite community feel of the place (not a lot of privacy), which was perfect for our group, but might not be ideal for couples or families. The road up to the house was very challenging in the rain and mud however, even in our 4 wheel drive jeep, but I think Andy is trying to pave it all the way up, so it might be easier in the future. Also, it was abnormally rainy while we were there, but the roads to Santa Teresa itself were pretty scary (landslides, washouts, river crossings), and the internet and phone were out while we were there, so it might be worth checking the conditions before heading out there. But we had a great time, loved the views, and Andy was a great host!

good directions...keys were in the door when we arrived. great place! an incredible view and a relaxed vibe. glad to have stayed there and would definitely stay again

Wow! The pictures of the view do not do it justice. I extended my stay from 1 week to 2 weeks. The sunsets overlooking the Pacific are unreal, serene, and soothing to my soul. San Diego, Malibu, or Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica don't hold a candle to this view. It is very quiet and serene. Off the main road and away from the hustle of Santa Teresa. Locals are super friendly. This town is obviously a surfing mecca. Andrew is quick to communicate and accommodate. Crystal and Juan were also very helpful. My room was cleaned every other day. I had access to a nice washer and dryer. Internet works great, the fastest during my month traveling here. Showers were always hot. The beds were very comfortable. Here is the real skinny about the hill to the villas; I had no problem getting up and down with a Toyota Yaris (2 wheel drive) dry and during heavy rain (I stayed here during the rainy season - Aug & Sept). Juan fills in potholes after rain. 90% this hill is paved. I also ran every other day. The hill is steep in a couple spots but not a big deal. It is a short 3 - 5 min drive to all restaurants, grocery, and other attractions in Santa Teresa. Super La Hacienda (grocery) is a block away at the bottom of the hill. The beach is 100 yards from the bottom of the hill. Love The Bakery for breakfast. Zula Restaurant was a staple for me. Burger Rancho, Casa del Mar, Chicken Joes are all great as well. A local named Jack ((PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN)) will deliver just about anything from local restaurants to grocery. Al Capone Delivery on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN).

Andy's set up is pristine. We arrived late at night and easily navigated ourselves to our room with his instructions on the very visible message board. We were excited to visit Santa Teresa and do some exploring/surfing. The set up was so great that we didn't even leave the house the first day because we felt so relaxed with the view and beds. The architecture, construction and decorating give an unexpected aesthetic appeal. This will now be our Santa Teresa destination. Head's up: If you're traveling without a car, it's a significant hike up the hill to get to the location (hence the beautiful ocean views).

Surf Vista Villas was wonderful. I highly recommend it. The house was beautiful, peaceful and well maintained; the staff was friendly, helpful and responsive. The other guests were very sweet, and the view couldn't be beat! We loved the location - a little out of the hubbub of downtown, byt only a 10 minute walk to the closest grocery and restaurant (Soda), and 20 minute walk on the beach to the heart of downtown. Walk to the ocean in 10 minutes. Yes, there is a BIG hill to walk up to get to the lodge -- you probably want a car if you have small children or don't like walking hills. We walked it 2-4 times a day, and it was fine. I have buns of steel now ;) Thank you to Andy, Juan, Juan and the rest of the staff at Surf Villa Vistas!

Great place, great location, great view, and great owner. Yes, there is a hill to climb, but that's a small price to pay for what you get. If you can't handle it, rent an ATV. I look forward to getting back here again as soon as possible.

Four of my friends and I recently traveled to Barbados for a period of 6 weeks. Throughout our entire stay, Neeraj and his family went above and beyond to make us feel at home and to cater to any need. They were beyond generous and made us feel like part of the family! The house is exactly as advertised and was a great space to live in, perfect for a large group like ours. There are 2 large bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and a powder room. Having a fully equipped kitchen was very convenient, as we cooked many of our meals. The location in Graeme Hall was ideal because it was not far from the fish fry in Oistins, only a 10-15 min walk from Dover beach and St Lawrence Gap, and just 15-20 minutes from Bridgetown by van. Overall, we had an amazing experience and it would not have been the same without this family. We would absolutely recommend that you stay here! Don't think twice :) All of their rave reviews are legit. Travel tip: You must go to the gap for a late-night burger at least once during your stay! Seriously.

We were 5 girls having the best vacation ever in Barbados. I can honestly say that without the hospitality of Neeraj and his extreme concern about us that we are having a great time it wouldn't be as amazing as it was. About the house : 10 of 10 points Very specious, clean, AC, everything for the kitchen that you would need, very comfortable beds, books to read, living room perfect for watching movies from a huge collection or chilling with my friends. He has a Apple TV and we played our own music and every night we were watching the pictures on the big screen from the phone how we were having fun during the day. WiFi. We loved the garden and the flowers outside. When we were home we even didn't close the door of the house. The area is very safe and quite. You can only hear the birds in the morning. One day we woke up with the beautiful view with a rainbow over the ocean and the palms and the other day we were stunned by the most beautiful sunset that you have ever dreamed about. We were very busy working just before the vacation and didn't have much time to do our own research where to go , what is a must and good places for food. Actually we got lucky because we didn't have to . Neeraj picked up us from the airport, showed us the house and prepared our first rum punch. He was very kind to drive us to the beach and back even it is only 15 min walk. Every night he booked for us restourants with different food and location so we can experience as much as we can. The first night he took us to a nice bar . One day he booked for us the best catamaran in the island and the other day he took us for a whole day tour around the island. He arranged the most delicious birthday cake for one of the girls and we surprised her in a golf country club - very green, beatiful view and another amazing sunset. All of that thanks to Neeraj. He took a lot of pictures of us and at the end of the vacation made a cute video with nice music as a background. Everything he did for us in order to have the best vacation was coming from his heart. Everyday we got surprised from him and amazed how such an absolutly caring host we got. We were treated as real princesses even though non was required from him. He went beyond our expectations and definitely We recommend Neeraj and his nice villa for spending a memorable vacation in Barbados. Thank you Neeraj for everything ! We won't forget you and most wellcome to visit us as well !

Neeraj was a great host who took the time to send us great recommendations and ensure we were all properly welcomed.

Great spot though we spent only one night - flight change left our party of 7 without a place to stay the last night of our trip, and Neeraj was very accommodating to let us stay one day and check in early. Location was great, better than where we had stayed previously up north of Holetown - short drive to Rockley beach during the day, and another short drive to Oistins for the fish fry at night. Unfortunately didn't get to spend much time there as our flight was so early the next day, left at 6 for the quick 15 minute drive to the airport. View from the roof is amazing, took lots of sunset/sunrise pics.

Neeraj's place was fantastic! It offered everything as advertised in a nice neighborhood very near the coast. Neeraj's also offers great extra perks such as an iPad with tips on things to see and do on the island and a basic local cell phone. Both were very handy during our stay. I would definitely recommend staying here if your looking to go to Barbados.

I stayed here on a spring break trip with 7 other friends and overall we all agree that the place was awesome. Neeraj was a phenomenal host, and made an effort to pick my friends and I up from the airport even though we came at different times. I came earlier and had to wait 3 hours for my friends to arrive so he took me to a really nice club/bar to pass away time. In addition he was willing to take us grocery shopping and always willing to go the extra mile to make us feel at home. If you are going to Barbados, definitely stay at his place! The house is beautiful and looks just as described. Its big and comfortable enough for 8 or more people. The house is neat overall and well stocked with everything you need. It is also in a good location close to the gap and the beaches. Neeraj also gave us a local phone which made it easy to call taxis and order food, etc. Even though Neeraj stays on the same compound, you will have more than enough privacy. I loved my stay at his place and would definitely go back again. Don't second guess yourself, this is where you want to spend your time in Barbados!

Neeraj's home is something special in Barbados. We were greeted and given a grand tour and everything was perfect. Beautiful, huge and clean home was ours when we arrived. He was welcoming, accommodating and available for questions and at any time. He also brought over some killer rum punch - nice touch! Location is quiet and close to St. Lawrence Gap which is what we were looking for. Getting to and from the Gap was easy. We never walked it, because cabs were not expensive and we didn't have a car. I would recommend this house for a small or large group looking to experience the island in a good central location. Neeraj was so helpful during our stay we were all so grateful. Appliances all worked perfectly. Oven, stove, microwave were all brand new. HDTV with AppleTV was a nice touch for watching some TV while it rained one day. Bedrooms were very big and comfortable with AC in each room. The shower was amazing too! What a great house, and perfect airbnb experience and I would recommend staying here.

From the moment I placed the booking Neeraj was really friendly and helpful. Throughout the stay he made us feel very welcome providing us with wine and giving us lifts to various bars. The house is modern, very comfortable and clean. There is plenty of space to relax and unwind after a day at the beach or on an excursion around the island. The most stunning feature is the staircase which makes you feel like you've just walked into a movie set. Highly recommended!
