Recent Cabo Matapalo vacation rental reviews

Amazing place to stay. Steps from the beach yet also in the jungle so you get lots of animals passing by! Also thanks to Joel for all his help in makng sure we had everything we needed in the home and also for helping to book activities and trips.

Casa Santa Maria far exceeded our expectations! The property itself is very unique and gorgeous. The house is breathtaking and comfortable, the kitchen has all you need to cook, there is hot water, the wonderful staff comes to clean every 3 days, and the grounds of the property are impeccable! The yard and garden are a dream with birds singing all around and animal sightings. It’s one of the best properties in Matapalo. The little plunge pool is a nice touch and refreshing. There are loungers with shade and grills to use. The house is open so be mindful and do not leave any fish or trash in the garbage overnight that animals may like and don’t leave bananas out, the monkeys love them! Having Joel, the property manager, onsite made us feel more comfortable and he was able to set up trips for us. Joel brought us fresh coconuts daily which was such a treat! The property is kept so nicely by Joel, Jose and Maria. They are a fantastic crew! We went in August and some days rain did come inside but not on the comfy beds, mostly in the living room, it dried up later in the day. Must rent a 4X4. The King waterfall is a short hike and so gorgeous. Having the view of the beach across the street is heavenly. It’s paradise here!!!
