Beauty and the beast!
I struggled with this review, because, with a little care and attention, this house could be more amazing. The location is awesome! You get great views of Arenal Volcano and there are many stores and restaurants within a few minutes drive. The layout of the house is also very cute and funtional. The small outdoor garden is beautiful and we saw lots of hummingbird enjoying the nectar from the all the beautiful flowers. The problems, however, were as follows: The house is very difficult to find if you arrive after dark and it gets dark around 5.30pm in Costa Rica. Finding the lock box was also challenging in the dark. When we called the host for direction/
instruction, he seemed bothered by us and made a point of making us aware that he was eating dinner.
The toilets gurgle, and on on arrivals the toilet in the cabana room would not flush properly. The host blamed us for putting toilet paper in the toilet, even though we had only just arrived. The shower in the cabana room was also difficult to operate and it was near impossible to get hot water and good water pressure. Our friends had to shower in the main house. The faucet in the master bedroom wobbled around when being used. There was no kitchen towel or dish wash cloths. The oven did not work at all and was partially dislodged from the cabinetry. The pool had missing tile. Overall the house was not well maintained and the host not very gracious, in fact, somewhat abrasive.
