Recent Puntarenas guest reviews

The room was clean and secure and ideally located. It was a two minute walk to a major grocery store and 10 minute walk to the beach. The host was responsive for the most part. I stayed for two weeks so there were a couple of minor issues that popped up but nothing that would stop me from returning.

The drive in was a little slow and bumpy you need a vehicle with good clearance and 4 wheel drive. Joel was an exceptional host and incredibly helpful, the house was comfortable and well equipped, you should consider bringing cards or games for the evenings. The beaches and waterfalls were within easy walking distance and phenomenal. Absolutely a 10 out of 10

Loved the pool. It was hot so nice to cool off after our excursions. Pool was kept very clean. Kitchen appliances a big plus. Loved that it had a washer and dryer. The views there are spectacular. House is roomy and bedrooms are comfortable and spacious. Each bedroom had its own bathroom. Lots of seating areas. Loved the decks. We made a good choice.
