My wife and I spent a wonderful week at Sam and Mary's home. It is located in the hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean and lies between San Juanillo and Ostional.
The Sounds: The roaring surf of the Pacific, the howl of monkeys, the songs of parrots
The Sights: The vast Pacific, dry forest everywhere you look, splashes of orange and red sunsets
The Wildlife: howler monkeys right in front of you, coati, iguana, giant frogs, and many, many birds-from hummingbird to parrot to seabirds
The architecture: intricate stonework, rooftop finials, gorgeous metalwork doors and gates
The property: a wonderful infinity pool, tropical plants, privacy galore
The basics: strong cell service, fast internet, nearly floor-to-ceiling glass for great forest and Pacific views
The bottom line: We loved this tropical paradise and have many beautiful memories. Highly recommend
