Corcovado Private Villas

Beware! It’s not as advertised The house had a beautiful view! What isn’t disclosed in the listing: there is no AC for the whole house and it was VERY uncomfortable. There are only 2 bedrooms on the lower level that have AC. There are no doors on the upper part of the house (only screens) - expect very large bugs and spiders!!! The dishes in the home had to be washed before use and could stand to be replaced - as could the toaster and small appliances. Suggestions to the owners: spray for ants! They were everywhere! Inside, outside! It made the entire property unusable. Finally - let’s talk about the roads! I have a 20 minute video of how horrible the roads are to get to the main house! This part of the trip was the worst part of the drive I experienced on my 2 week road trip of Costa Rica! The roads to get to the property are full of pot holes, standing water/mud. It truly is 4 wheeling at its worst! The roads when you get to the property aren’t much better! Steep driveways (at least they have 2 concrete pads for your tires) but they let the middle grow so large between the 2 concrete pads, the bottom of my SUV was scraping. Note to property: dig out the middle between the concrete and make it a little easier to drive! The pool was dirty! The jacuzzi was warm but the jets didn’t work. We were so disappointed we checked out after one night (and this was the hotel I was most looking forward to)! The staff was nice though.

This property is unique and beautiful. Separate units create privacy and the setting is filled with green, flowers, and jungle sounds.

Go for the hot tub! Stay for the kitchen. We stayed in Villa 1 and it was lovely. Communication and service was very efficient. The hot tub is a big bonus! The bedrooms are both upstairs, and you go out onto the hot tub deck in order to access the stairs to get up to the bedrooms. One of the bedrooms (with the large bed) has air-conditioning, and the other bedroom has a medium size bed, plus a single bed but no air conditioning. You can move fans upstairs for the room with no air-conditioning during the hot season and it gets cool at night because you’re in the mountains and in the forest. I especially like that the kitchen is well equipped with a coffee maker, electric kettle, and a blender.
