Villa Havana ~ Wunderschönes geräumiges magisches Paradies, nur 1 Minute zu Fuß vom Strand entfernt

Very nice villa! We loved our stay. Great management

We have visited Costa Rica 4 times. This area by far was our least favorite. Two weeks before our trip we received notification that our host had been changed. Efforts to get information about our check- in process yielded nothing. I finally had to contact VRBO to find out what was going on. The day before our flight we got that information stated check-in was at 3:00 and the address. I was trying to coordinate 3 families When we arrived in Cobano, we received texts telling us repeatedly about 3:00 check-in. Got It! We arrived at the property at 3:30 only to find the house a total disaster. Apparently the visitors before had massive parties. The house was in no shape. I contacted VRBO and was told to work it out with host. Unacceptable. Finally, at 7:00 the house was "ready". Problems: Kitchen: No hot water, refrigerator rocked forward every time opened and leaked water, the stove did not work properly. Bedrooms: If you like living in a cave it is perfect. No windows or natural light. Beach Access: down a very busy road with no shoulders. We had two children - scary. The road is strewn with litter. Beach: LOTS of trash! My daughter and I actually found two hypodermic syringes with needles still intact. Pluses: pool was nice - when the pool guy showed up to clean it. Yasmina was amazing helping with laundry and basic clean-up. The wildlife: monkeys, iguanas, geckos, butterflies was fun for all. Would not recommend for the price!

The house was flooded after Friday’s rain. All rooms and specially the kitchen fully flooded, even though water was removed the house remained wet the whole time. Random people came in without notifying or us knowing who they were. No locks on the house’s door so we couldn’t lock at night. People from outside (UberEats) could walk in and appear in the middle ok the house without any notice or security checks. Bathrooms needed to be fixed. Kitchen stove was bad, it leaked gas so after using it we had to disconnect it. Overall we were dissatisfied with the experience and the house.

We had a great spring break at Havana Lodge in Malpaís. The lodge was beautiful, the pool was amazing, and the location was perfect. When we had questions, they were answered within minutes. We couldn’t light the grill, and someone was over within 5 minutes to assist. I’d love to go back. So relaxing.

Great place to stay. Everyone had there own room with AC, pool and house were cleaned daily. Amazing
