I loved our stay at Casa Atevida! Our private chef was wonderful and the house was perfect for our group. The local wildlife did not disappoint either - from howlers to Macaws to hummingbirds to capuchin monkeys - everyone came out for a show. And the beach, just a super short walk, was quiet and gorgeous (especially for sunrise). Oh, and the plunge pool seemed small at first but it turned out to be a great place to hang out and relax! There are some minor things I’d change to make it even better but ever without, I’d highly recommend it and I’d definitely stay there again. I’d recommend that you have a rental car though as that makes everything so much easier. We shopped for our own drinks and snacks and could easily get anywhere we needed to be for excursions (with the added flexibility of stopping when / where we wanted and going to the bank or store when we needed). Again, I’d highly recommend it!

Excited about unique home, but expected some breeze given proximity to beach. Given how far back home is set in the jungle that was not the case. While house has ceiling fans, one in kitchen didn't work, and wasn't fixed despite us reporting. Many bugs in master, no other rooms had issues. We almost moved to a hotel the first evening (it was that bad), but we stuck it out. Enjoyed the pool (Carlos kept it clean each day!) and ended up making some great memories. -Capuchin monkeys on the property were a highlight! Being awakened by howler monkeys each morning at 4am was a surprise. We were warned upon arrival, but I wasn't aware when we booked. No way to sleep through this as it's VERY loud and quite frightening, but just went to bed early to be prepared to wake early. -Can't say enough good things about Chef Chon. Everything he served for dinner & breakfast was out of this world. -No dryer, only washer..hang on lines -Need to buy water..told better to not drink from tap. -Beach time was minimal as black sand too hot and the under toe was too dangerous. -Cab rides are VERY expensive. Rent car instead. -Book excursions before arrival. We were told we could wait for some, but then wasn't able to except snorkeling, which was disappointing. 2 hr ride to/from the boat..served picnic on beach no restaurant...didn't see much in a 8 hr excursion. -Necklace disappeared from our room, but Jackie (maid) was relentless in searching and found it after we left. Had swept it onto the roof.
