Recent Puntarenas vacation rental reviews

Loved the cleanliness, security, and amenities. Great spot with a nice ocean view for enjoying a sunset.
Jonna C. | Dec 2025
This home is superb. You live at home with nature in the place. Every morning and evening a troupe of Capuchin monkeys would travel past (and through) the house. Three tiny, beautiful bats lived in the thatched roof and at night would help keep the house mosquito free. The bed was super comfy. The stove was great for cooking meals. Each morning the howler monkeys would be our alarm, followed by the scarlet macaws then the toucans. We LOVED this house so much. Note: you need a high clearance 4WD to get to the house. The instructions to find the house are very confusing. To make it easier, just follow the road to the very end (it's much further than the instructions suggest). At that point you've gone too far. Turn around and when the road turns left and starts climbing an hill, the driveway to Casa Contiki is on the left as you go up the hill. There is no sign that we could find.

Our stay at this Jaco beach condo was absolutely perfect! The unit was impeccably clean and beautifully maintained, with breathtaking views of both the ocean and the surrounding mountains. Every morning we watched macaws soaring from tree to tree right from the balcony—truly unforgettable. The location couldn’t be better. The condo is just steps from the beach and also has its own private pool, giving us the best of both worlds. Inside, it had all the essentials we needed to cook breakfast and enjoy it overlooking the water. We also loved having the convenience of a washer and dryer during our trip. Everything about this stay exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t have asked for a better place—highly recommend and would absolutely return!
