Gem in the Nicoya Peninsula
We stayed 9 nights and it is a special place. The views are unmatched as it's perched atop a high cliff and overlooks the ocean. The staff at the house is also world class and became our friends, helping with anything that arose. The house manager, Jeni, even cooked us some special Tico foods that were scrumptious. We were well cared for and the house is so perfect for 5 separate bedrooms and bathrooms when you have a large group. We had 10 total people and the house offered us multiple spots to hang out and dine at home. We enjoyed watching 2 scarlet macaws nesting in a palm in front garden each day. Grocery within 15 minutes, but otherwise pretty remote. A few things that could be improved are as follows: there is no central air conditioning in the main living spaces of the home (although the home is best utilized when the 'glass wall' between the living space and the pool/ocean view is wide open)! We understand WHY AC is not suited for the home, but nonethless, the listing made us think the entire house was air conditioned. The bedrooms are - though when we arrived, we had to spend one terribly sweltering night as one AC was broken. It was quickly fixed the following day. Also, the sofa in the main living space of the house could use a refresh. The beach needs trash pick up badly, and the Tango Mar resort also is a bit rundown. We stayed in our villa mostly when we weren't adventuring. Overall, a beautiful place if you're near Tambor.
