Recent Cabo Matapalo guest reviews

The house and location were perfect. The house gave us a great home base to have while we explored Osa. Excellent kitchen ... I have never seen a rental house with such a well equipped kitchen and we used it quite a bit. Bedrooms have fans and bug nets and bugs were not an issue. Joel was super friendly and helpful, REALLY nice guy. I would recommend this place for anyone needed a place to call home while in Osa.

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

We loved the open air home right on the beach, the sound of the waves, the privacy at the end of the road, and Joel, the host, was very responsive to our questions, helped make dinner reservations and organized a tour to Corcovado NP. Pura vida.
