Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Johnny teaches excellent classes that are accessible to all levels, without all that hippy dippy vibe. Directly in front of one of Guanacaste’s best breaks, the AM classes start right around the time the wind shifts, and if lucky the PM stretch classes end right in time for a sunset glass off session.
    Reasonably priced packages to boot!

    Our family vacation was enhanced by using TPV for all of our transportation needs. Doug, Sheri, and Fernando are informative, fun, and excellent to work with when planning our Costa Rica trip. We even scheduled some last minute trips and TPV was accommodating and helpful. I recommend booking 100% of your tours and transportation through them—a private shuttle with only your group, ethical activities, and the best food recommendations (and also what to avoid!) We will be back and look forward to working with them again!

    I had a great experience renting mountain bikes for my wife and I. Javier is a super nice guy and made the rental process very easy, communication was exceptional. He dropped off and picked up the bikes and provided helmets and a lock. I highly recommend if staying in Los Pargos/Playa Negra. Thanks Javier!

    We had such a great time on our SUP river adventure with Kevin & Joanne. The river was beautiful and the pictures they took and sent to us were a surprise added bonus! Kevin knew so much about the river and the Costa Rican wildlife. Super well organized and a wonderful memory for our family. Highly recommend!!!

    This house is the perfect getaway for a solo traveler. I love waking up to the sound of nature and I was not disappointed as the monkeys and birds sounded like they were right outside the bedroom window! My room was quite comfortable and I hardly needed the a/c. The kitchen had everything I needed and then some!

    I felt really comfortable walking to and from the beach and the tidepools are so close! I need to bring a mask and snorkel next time.

    The living room has an amazing collection of fish and mythical sea creatures mounted over a lovely underwater scene. I can stare at that wall for hours!

    The outside has a "rinse off" shower which I ended up using more tham the inside shower. It's so nice to rinse off the sand and saltwater surrounded by big trees and all kinds of tropical plants.

    This house is very comfortable and safe for a solo female traveler such as myself and I can see the possibilities of bringing a group of friends here next time.

    The owner is the consummate host and made sure I had everything I needed, even taking me to the store for groceries.
