Everything was perfect!! the cottage (studio) met all of our needs. The kitchen had everything we needed. The best part were the owners! They took us on a tour of the property to show us all 5 of the sloths as well as the 2 across the street on the beach. Town and the national park were a 15 minute walk or a 4 minute drive.

We loved every second of our stay. Place is run by 2 passionate owners. They shared local ideas and advices in between pointing out slots, iguanas, toucans that inhabit their wonderful property. Couldn’t recommend that place enough and can only be jealous of next guests that will be staying in Maria and Pierre’s property.
