Recent Puntarenas guest reviews

Everything was great, except for the complete lack of customer service. Vacasa was literally unreachable and no help whatsoever during our stay.

Close to friends, sand, convenient to restaurants…. Beautiful view

La casa es muy acogedora, cómoda y con todo lo necesario para disfrutar. La cocina está muy bien equipada, la piscina es deliciosa, el espacio de terraza es genial para compartir y descansar. Tiene detalles hermosos que nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos. La casa queda muy cerca de la playa, así que la ubicación es perfecta. ¡Pasamos un fin de semana espectacular! ¡100% recomendada!
