"Beautiful and Quiet property, will likely need a 4x4 to access as the driveway is quite steep, but overall a great experience. :)"

"We had a fantastic stay at Casa Tranquila. I can’t say enough positive things about this place. We traveled with our family (kids ages 7 and 9). The place was safe, clean, and comfortable for our family. The property is surrounded by 9’ stucco walls requiring a separate key to enter-we always felt safe and secure. The property has a feel like it’s your own private resort with the saltwater pool in the back, which was the perfect depth for our children. Plenty of beach towels were provided. Our kids enjoyed the boogie boards at the house as well. The outdoor Sonos system at the pool was a nice touch and we had fun just sitting outside and relaxing. It’s very easy to do at this house! The air conditioning kept the house cool and comfortable. The house is very quiet (with the exception of the howler monkeys, which we enjoyed seeing in the tree out front). It’s in a great location, only a few minutes drive to Samara and Playa Carrillo, in a safe neighborhood with lots of other nice homes. I would recommend 4wd to get up the steep gravel hill to get to the home. The kitchen had everything we needed to make several meals when we weren’t dining out in Samara. The place is very close to the zip lining place which was convenient. Louis was an incredible host and extremely welcoming and responsive to our requests. If you are looking for the perfect getaway in Samara, don’t hesitate to book this place! We will definitely be back!"

"Having been attracted by the numerous positive feedback comments about Libelula prior to booking the property for our own holiday, (and I am quite thorough in my research) I can now give my own thoughts; if you are considering booking this, you've found the right place. You will not be disappointed. It was a privilege to stay there. The amenities available to you are comprehensive, the configuration and location is perfectly idyllic, the diverse wildlife often on view within the garden itself a joy to behold. The owner and rental company were very attentive to our every need and responded to us in a very timely manner on any query we might have and the property is suitable for all ages. I'm now of an age where I do now have a bucket list of destinations I would like to go to. If ever anyone were to compile a bucket list of properties you should stay at before you die, Libelula would have to be on it. In short a dream home with a spectacular view. An absolute privilege to stay there. I very much hope i have the opportunity to return in the future."

"My wife and I spent 5 wonderful nights at Casa Bella Vista. The house was clean and well appointed, and very comfortable. The pictures don’t do it justice! The highlights though are the incredible views and hotel size pool. The 270 degree views of the ocean and surrounding hills are ones that very few properties have anywhere on the coast and to be able to enjoy them in this private paradise was very special. Swimming under the stars was our nightly ritual after sunset cocktails! The road was steep and parts were a bit rutted, but I saw all types of vehicles navigating it. We had no issues but appreciated that we had a midsize SUV. Great place!"

"A beautiful jungle setting, back from the road, fantastic property with privacy and a pool. The house was well furnished and we lacked for nothing while we were there. Bring groceries (and some fresh fish from town) and grill a lovely dinner on the deck. During the day, the place feels like a bird sanctuary and we enjoyed watching a Toucan go in and out of a rounded hole in the large tree behind the house to feed its chicks. We felt comfortable and at home during our stay. Internet was slow at times, spotty at others. Oh well, Pura Vida!"
