Relaxing, beautiful, exciting -- truly Pura Vida!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 16, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
Amazing stay, wish we'd stayed the whole week! Condo was larger than expected, plenty space for my husband, me (33 wks pregnant), mom-in-law & 2 active boys (7 & 8). Kitchen has essential dishes/appliances, we stopped at grocery in Santa Cruz to stock up on drinks, snacks, breakfast/lunch food; later we went to a more local grocery. Sipping coffee on the condo porch to the view and sound of the ocean & birds and walking along the beach was simply relaxing, my boys enjoyed the two pristine condo pools & playing in the waves/rocks at Playa Azul-waves too strong for swimming, we stayed at knee depth (waist depth with wave), but warm waves perfect for playing & body surfing in the morning before hide tide & with morning shade from a hill (the dark sand beach heats up). We explored 2 beaches in San Juanillo, beautiful white sand and more tranquil water at 1. The solitude was a treat, we often had the beach/pool to ourselves, or maybe shared with 1 or 2 people. Easy walk to both from condo. One morning, we saw dolphins/sea life playing in the distance. On a night beach stroll, my husband & I saw delightful hermit crabs skittering in beautiful shells; smaller ones poked in & out of holes by day. The boys enjoyed watching iguanas wander around the grounds & monkeys playing in the trees. The highlight was a boat tour with Paski's Adventures -- Mike took us on a fishing boat to see turtles, swim with a turtle and then to spot wild life. We saw a couple mantas jump out of the water & enjoyed a beautiful cruise along the coast. A simple but very informative tour, not commercialized, perfect. Carol (owner) and Jennifer & Leah (property managers) sent us great, detailed instructions from the airport in Liberia & prepped us for the last stretch (~25 km of unpaved road). Our larger 4x4 SUV rental made for a smoother ride, though still pretty bumpy. Bridges over all rivers/creeks. We checked the route via Google maps (satellite view) beforehand, helpful to know lay of land, signs mark direction to towns & beaches, not road names. Car was handy for local trips to restaurants & beaches, and drive ok once we got used to road signs/markings. Property managers gave us sketched maps with local venues of interest; their suggestions for restaurants were spot on, we had enjoyable, delicious dinners at Tiki Hut-Marbella (on beach at sunset) & place in San Juanillo. A++ for customer service, very accommodating! I highly recommend for raw nature, tranquility, relaxation, PURA VIDA!
Owner's Response: So happy that the condo and the area exceeded your expections and hope that you return again to enjoy the pura vida lifestyle.

Surfers Paradise

5 of 5
Submitted: April 9, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
There is really nothing to dislike about The Sanctuary condos. They are spacious, luxurious, have satellite tv, full kitchen, two full baths, swimming pool, and are beyond comfortable. We have stayed in them for our winter getaways from New Jersey for years now. From a surfers standpoint they are probably way above what most surfers are used to. There has been four of us in the condo every year. My wife, son, brother and myself, and we have always been really happy. The surfing area is only 10 mins away and there are also numerous other breaks within a one or two hour drive making it nice variety wise.

Was the listing description accurate regarding the location, layout, amenities, etc?
Absolutely! Exactly as described.

Was the property clean, was it well-maintained, etc?
These units are IMMACULATE! The cleaning staff and maintenance crew are really meticulous!

Did the owner provide good customer service?
No doubt. They were really nice and answered all our questions quickly.

Would you recommend this property to a friend or relative?
Would and did!

What activities, attractions and restaurants did you like or dislike?
There are numerous tours, activities, and restaurants to check out in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica. The office at the condos have great staff to help w/whatever you are interested in doing. We've done sooo much over the years. Volcano tours, sunset cruises, zip lines, monkey park zoo, river tours, quad rentals, scooter rentals, horseback riding, turtle watching, surfboard and SUP rentals, and great restaurants have all been enjoyed.

Playa Azul get way

4 of 5
Submitted: March 19, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
The condo met all of our expectations. The product managers Leiha and Jen were fabulous. Our evening trip to the trip to the Tree Top was the highlight of our trip. While there we also went fishing with Captain Mike as well as the swimming with the sea turtles evening cruise. The only negative are the roads. It can be a little nerve racking to get to some of the locations we visited. 4 wheel drive is a must. Next December the adjoining resort is scheduled to re-open and that will be an added bonus although the two pools near the condo were well maintained and provided us with a nice un-crowded place to relax.

The condo at the Sanctuary lived up to our expections. Large bedrooms with ocean view and wonderful large bathrooms with excellent showers. Beautiful kitchen that has been fully stocked. Another bonus was a washer and dryer in the condo. The staff at the Sanctuary were very helpful, courteous and friendly. The managers Leah and Jennifer went above and beyond to make sure our tours and our stay at the Sanctuary was a good memory. The sunsets were amazing, howler monkeys and beautiful birds at our backdoor. Enjoyed the swimming pools. We were here for three weeks and we toured Guanacaste with excitement. Marbella beach and San Juanillo were our favorite beaches and of course the black sands of Playa Aqul was where we watched amazing sunsets. We got groceries in San Juanillo and Nosara and also enjoyed a variety of eating places close by. The Tree Tops was our New Years Eve celebration and the food was excellent. Fish store in San Juanillo was excellent also Ancient People had the best ice-cream. We also went fishing with Mike (Paski's Tours) and caught lots of fish. Also went with Mike and swam with the turtles. That was totally amazing. We also went to the Arenal volcano and with zip lining with Miss Sky Canopy Tour. The zip line was one - of -a- kind- through the jungle tour that left us breathless and fully charged. The guides were incredible and kept us all very safe. We were so lucky to go to Ostional and get to see turtles laying their eggs on the beach. We snorkeled lots and swam every day. If this trip is not on your bucket list add it on and do it!!!

Tuvimos unas vacaciones increibles fuimos 4 adultos y 2 niñas, el sitio es hermoso, el condominio esta totalmente equipado y tiene una hermosa vista al mar. Visitamos la playa de San Juanillo, y apesar que soy de Costa Rica no habia visto una playa tan hermosa con esta, especialmente para niños, el agua cristalina y es especial para que los niños disfruten del mar. La carretera no esta mala, de San Jose al lugar duramos 4 hrs, hicimos una parada para desayunar, pudimos disfrutar de otras playas cercanas como Ostional donde es perfecta en las epocas de Setiembre y octubre para ver el desove de las tortugas marinas, tambien tuvimos la oportunidad de pasar por las playas guiones y Nosara que al igual que San Juanillo son hermosas, si realmente quiere un contacto con la naturaleza y la bella del pueblo TICO este es un buen lugar para quedarse, Quede enamorada y tenemos muchas ganas de volver y conocer mas playas cercanas.


We had an incredible holiday we were 4 adults and 2 children, the place is beautiful, the condo is fully equipped and has a beautiful ocean view. We visited the beach of San Juanillo, and even though I'm from Costa Rica had not seen a beach so beautiful like that one, especially for children, water is crystal clear, our kids enjoyed the so much the ocean. The road is not bad, from San Jose to the place we lasted 4 hours, we stopped for breakfast, we also enjoyed other nearby beaches such as Ostional where perfect seasons in September and October to see nesting sea turtles, also had the opportunity to going through guiones beach and Nosara which like San Juanillo are beautiful, if you really want a contact with nature and the beautiful village this is a good place to stay, we look forward to come back and visit more beaches nearby.


100% Recommend!!!
Owner's Response: So happy that the children enjoyed the weekend. Snorkeling is good in San Juanillo. We've seen many different fish, morney eels, and my favorite, blue star fish. The condo is located perfectly to enjoy the ocean, swimming, snorkeling, and surfing.
