Waterfront holiday rentals in Rivas

Matapalo Beach ist ein wunderbarer Strand mit wenig Tourismus. Die Tierwelt rund in der Umgebung ist mannigfaltig und lässt nie Langeweile aufkommen. Die Sonnenauf- und Untergänge sind wohl die schönsten in der Umgebung. Ohne Mietwagen würde ich Matapalo allerdings nicht empfehlen, denn mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel ist es sehr schwierig Abstecher in sie Umgebung zu machen, dann steckt man einfach an diesem schönen, nicht mit Tourismus überladenen Strand fest. Die Unterkunft von Laura war die ersten drei Monate ideal, sehr ruhig und erholsam, rundherum vom vielfältigen Gesang und Gezwitscher der artenreichen Vogelwelt untermalt. Der letzte Monat war allerdings nicht so toll: Gleich hinter der Unterkunft bauten jemand ein neues Gebäude und fast diesen ganzen letzten Monat war Tag für Tag unerträglicher Baustellenlärm, auch am Wochenende; das war nervenaufreibend und kein Urlaub mehr. Aber wenn das Gebäude einmal fertiggestellt ist, wird ja auch wieder Ruhe und Frieden einkehren.

We enjoyed our stay at the Cabinas La Chirincocas. William was available and easy to communicate with. Pablo greeted us warmly and allowed for flexible check in. The room and amenities made for a comfortable stay, and it was very clean. The location was great for walking to the Bahia Ballena park with many excellent restaurants. Would stay again.

Geweldig verblijf gehad. Vriendelijk ontvangen en leuk gekletst in de avond, we mochten nog gebruik maken van het zwembad, speciaal voor ons waren de watersproeiers in het zwembad aangezet. Heerlijk wakker geworden met tropische geluiden en fruit gekregen in de ochtend.

Our stay at this property was absolutely incredible, with a breathtaking view! The room was clean, beautifully decorated, and well-equipped. The concierge was welcoming, and we appreciated for a hot shower and fresh towels. The pool area was stunning and well-maintained.However, there are a few areas that could be improved. It good to have coffee or tea for guest, and we were surprised to find there was no iron. Additionally, some house rules were unexpected, such as the prohibition on drones and no BBQs, despite them being shown in the photos. Although the balcony is shared with other guests, we were fortunate to have it mostly to ourselves. The bar chairs on the balcony were not very comfortable, and there was only one patio chair for the two of us. We also felt a bit uncomfortable with the presence of several cameras on the property, including one right of our apartment. Despite these minor issues, our overall experience was fantastic! We would definitely stay again!

Ian's hotel is the perfect little spot in Dominical. Great location great pool great rooms. Great crowd. Ian himself is a cool guy and has fun plans to expand the place. Really looking forward to staying again sometime.

El alojamiento es muy cómodo, los anfitriones amables, el lugar es tranquilo, tiene piscina y se encuentra muy cerca del mar.

Excelente atención, Verónica es super amable y atenta, todo estaba impecable en el alojamiento, 100% recomendado 👌

Outstanding view. Everything was clean, the canavida team was very responsive all time. We had a seamless self-checkin. I definitely recommend the place. I loved it.

un lugar excelente para relajarse y descansar. playas cerca y lugares para caminar.

Nos vamos muy contentos, Carlos siempre estuvo al pendiente de nosotros, la casa es muy cómoda y bonita. Sin duda Carlos es un excelente anfitrión, nos llevó a la cascada y nos dio recomendaciones para ir a comer y actividades para realizar. No dudaría ni un segundo para regresar. Al estar ahí no puedes olvidar probar las hamburguesas de Sneaky monkey las cuales son exquisitas.

Clara was a wonderful host - so kind and thoughtful. Place was beautiful, in serene nature with river access. Couldn't ask for anything more, it was perfect! I would go back in a heartbeat. The access to the river was amazing, the place was stunning, would recommend anyone looking for a tranquil getaway. It was well-stocked and also very large. Airconditioning was installed half-way through my visit, which was wonderful in the heat. Thanks Clara! Note for fellow digital nomads: This area occasionally experiences short power outages, usually due to weather. I’d recommend having an internet backup plan just in case—an eSIM with data worked really well for me (I used Airalo). While coverage can vary along this road, this particular Airbnb had excellent Wi-Fi (40mbps) and strong eSIM reception. With both high-speed internet and a reliable backup, it was a great spot for working online, even with higher bandwidth needs. It was the best internet experience I had in all of Costa Rica.

Like so many others have said, do not hesitate to book this! This destination is absolute paradise and the villa was fully equipped to make our vacation perfect. Perry, Paola and Flory are the most gracious hosts and provided a luxurious stay. Flory's breakfast is a must as well as dinner at the Supper Club. The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds are very comfortable, the shampoo and conditioner provided are delightful. The beach is endless and the sunsets are magical. The pool was refreshing and the pool basketball hoop was a huge hit with our boys. We can't thank you enough for the special memories made at your villa!

Nuestra visita fue todo un éxito, todo estuvo exelente, Sara, siempre muy atenta y disponible para asistir con todo, la casa estaba perfecto tal como se veía en la publicación. Exelente cocina muy bien equipada. 100% recomendado, la pasamos increíble, volveremos pronto. ¡Gracias por todo!

This place is amazing! We went for our honeymoon! What an adventure. The house is up the mountain where you feel like you’re in the middle of the rainforest with lots of wildlife but it’s also convenient to grocery’s restaurants and shopping. We simply did not want to leave! The indoor outdoor shower is private for those who don’t want to be seen but also giving that showering outside feeling with the sounds of the wildlife and rain. House was immaculate and host was very generous with recommendations. Tv internet air conditioning hot water and a backup system in the event power goes out. Amazing stay! Want to come again

Vivi and Jorge were wonderful at making sure that we had everything we needed. Midweek, they came through to exchange towels and take out the trash. The location at the beach was so beautiful. We were able to swim in the ocean every day when the tide was low we were able to walk into town, there were trinkets to buy and great restaurants in Dominical. There were beautiful birds around the place, and it was very easy for us to go both north and south along the coast with a rented car. I can’t wait to come back!

Very clear instructions on where to go and how to get into the house when you arrive. Easy checking in and checking out. Location is beautiful! VERY short drive to a lot of restaurants and a large supermarket. We bought groceries and cooked breakfast most mornings and a couple of dinners. There was plenty of kitchenware, a great stove, and an outdoor grill that made cooking easy. The one thing to note if you are from the USA, is that this is a Costa Rican style home. There is no air conditioning in the kitchen, and no indoor living room. Sitting spaces are outside with no climate control. The bedrooms are spread out, and the only access to most bedrooms is from the exterior balcony or patio. All bedrooms had their own air-conditioning units and were very comfortable to sleep in at night. The neighborhood is very quiet and the property is gated. We felt completely safe staying there with seven kids in our group. If we’re ever in the area again we would definitely stay again!!!

Big cabañas with AC, a pool and a shared kitchen which is great for communication and social contacts. Very nice hosts and family. Having a car is a plus due to the long road to the beach/supermarkt, but they rent bikes for a fair price, too.

La estadia fue rapida pero el lugar estaba limpio y acorde a lo que se encuentra en el anuncio. La comunicación fue adecuada. Completamente recomendado.

Por encima de todo fue excelente Nos sorprendió llegar y ver un lugar tan hermoso, ordenado, organizado y limpio, la piscina es bastante honda (Unos 1.70cm ya que mido 1.47 y no alcanzaba el fondo) Lo cual es bastante comodo para nadar a gusto y sumergirse un rato, la cocina está muy muy bien equipada⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Con el Victor no tuve que esperar ni 2 minutos a que me respondiera, siempre dió con el resultado de mis consultas, y Gabriela sin duda a alguna muy muy amable y atenta a nuestras necesidades, el lugar está igual que en las fotos, cerca de playas y el lugar es muy muy tranquilo para darse una caminata, ir a comer, playa e incluso cataratas(a 10 minutos en auto) Lo recomiendo bastante, en definitiva volveremos algún día⭐⭐⭐⭐

Todo muy bueno y es como en las fotos y además el ambiente es bonito ya que hay un choque de culturas y se pueden llevar bien

Beautiful macaws in the tree right outside the hotel! The owners are a very nice family and live on-site for support if needed. The communal kitchen was actually kept very clean, and each room has a designated section in the fridge and a box for non-refrigerated foods. The communal space was a nice way to meet others in the hotel. It isn’t a very walkable area, but that’s Uvita in general, so I’d recommend having a car or renting a scooter in the town (the hotel has plenty of parking spots). I worked remotely while there and the wifi was good for video calls.

The view was spectacular and it was our favourite part of staying at Victor's bnb. We watched the storms, sunsets, and wildlife right from the balcony. The kitchen had everything we needed and the beds were comfortable. We would recommend a 4x4 vehicle but could probably be okay without.

If we could give the Macaws 10 stars we would. This is the best AirBnB and one of the best accommodation experiences that we have ever had. Our entire vacation was great, largely because of the Macaws. Yes, the beds, location and rooms are excellent but what sets the Macaws out is the outdoor kitchen/dining area. For travellers who wished to hang out there to share stories, a meal, play a game, etc. it was the perfect setting. If you didn't want to, you could stay in your room like any other place and no one would bother you. The pool was also nice and refreshing. Finally, on a few occasions we saw big Macaws in the almond tree. Thanks Victor and Family!
