Recent Cabo Matapalo guest reviews

This house is located at the end of the dirt road in one of the most beautiful places on earth -- Capo Matapalo. It is wonderful to spend time on the porch, looking at the ocean or the birds, and falling asleep to the sound of the waves. The house is very comfortable and a lovely place to stay. The hosts were responsive to all our questions and needs.

If youre looking to unplug from "reality" and go deep into Pura Vida, this is your place. It is the 2nd to last house on Matapalo rd and sits about 30 ft from high tide. Disappear into the melody of the ocean. The property is beautiful with a full garden in the back yard leading to the "pool", which is more like a soaking tub. Everything was awesome! Cant recommend it enough...if you want to be fully immersed in the Pura Vida life.

Casa Aviari is well equipped, very clean and comfortable. But the best of all is the housekeeper Joel and his thusband.Their friendliness and helpfulness is extremely remarkable. Thanks for the wonderful days!
