First time in Costa Rica but won't be the last

After staying for four nights at two different high-end resorts, we were certain that our last nights in this beautiful country were going to be very memorable...Del Congos de Uvita was everything the listing description said...and more.....from the photos of the scenery to the cleanliness of this home....spectacular is a more appropriate word...Diego and Arysella speak very little English, but you can understand them by just looking into their eyes....how sweet, kind and caring the Costa Rican people are !!! ..."Downtown" Uvita is very quiet , but beach activities abound...you just have to look for them as the "touristy" feel you get at most beaches will NOT be found here...One word of advice...if you drive CR as we did, get a rental that has heavy offroad tires as the road up to this piece of heaven is strewn with rocks that can potentially pierce a road radial...Thank Goodness that I grew up in the country and was well prepared with knowledge of how to navigate with a 4 WD...our little Suzuki Vitara never let us down ,though.... Would I recommend this home to a friend or relative? Heck, I wanna load them ALL up and take 'em here again next year...the toucans,parrots, and monkeys ( both the Cappuchins and the howlers) will be something we will never forget......oh..... and the view of the Pacific..and the landscaping..and the solitude..and the pool...words just cannot describe it...or maybe that is what Pura Vida means ....???? Thanks again, Del... for working with me on this last leg of our journey..God' s Splendor is evident everywhere here ...We will be back for sure....

Owner's Response: Mike,
Glad that you enjoyed your stay. Great advice on 4X4 tires, as 90% of roads in Costa Rica are unpaved and contain larger rock than we are used to in the states.
Always rent a 4X4 and always with good tires like the one we rent .
