El Carmen Hotels, Nicoya

"We had a wonderful stay! The house was clean and stocked with everything that we needed! It was easy to communicate. Excellent recommendation for beaches in the area! "

"Our family of four kids and four adults had an absolutely wonderful time at Casa Mesakeca! Everything was exactly as described in the listing, right down to the visits from howler monkeys and the proximity to an excellent beach. When the power went out our first night (not a typical occurrence), the property managers were incredibly responsive and fixed it immediately. I can't recommend Casa and Samara highly enough!"

"This is a great place! Sunsets are first class."

"Property was exactly as described on the listing. It was an amazing view overlooking the ocean, and the house was spotless and just as shown in the pictures. "

"Overall we had a good stay. The house is about 10 minutes from downtown, which made getting around easy, and the gated entrance added a sense of security. The pool was great to cool off in after being out during the day, and we appreciated having access to a washer and dryer.A few things future guests may want to know. The home could benefit from some updates, and it would be helpful if the host provided a binder with house information. For example, guidance about not flushing toilet paper and instructions for the air conditioning would make things clearer.The house does not come stocked with extra supplies, so plan to purchasing basics things like hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, laundry detergent, and trash bags. Also note the washer and dryer cannot run at the same time or the power may trip.You will definitely hear the local wildlife in the mornings, roosters, monkeys, cicadas, and the occasional dog barking, which is part of the local environment.Two of the three beds are very firm, so keep that in mind if you prefer a softer mattress.We chose this property mainly because it was close to family, which worked well for our trip."

"Enjoyed our stay, highly recommend the property "

"When we arrived the host said he did not have our reservation. The gate was locked. The number on the listing was not an accurate number. It took messaging Expedia to get a new number and the owner did not answer that number. He did respond to Expedia and finally reached out on WhatsApp. They came and cleaned while we were waiting to enter. The pictures on the listing are from probably 10 years ago - the home needs some repairs and maintenance. Faucets are loose, no hot water in the downstairs bathroom, washing machine quit working. They were responsive to come the second day after reaching out to Expedia again about the condition of the home - not matching the listing and the issues we were having - still not impressed with what is portrayed on the listing to the actual home."

"Perfecto para una estancia corta, aunque las instalaciones estan un poco descuidadas, el personal muy amable, la habitación muy limpia y con camas cómodas. El desayuno delicioso."
