What more do you need?" - "This property was worth every penny. You enter into the Las Lagos property where there is a guard who checks your credentials and lets you in, so it's very safe. The amenities at Las Lagos are great to have as well, we ate at the restaurant and walked the walking trails. But better than anything was the actual house, with the view of Arenal volcano, that just takes your breath away. So quiet up on the mountain, away from cars and the tourist area. The property, with it's own private hot tub, rain shower and full stocked kitchen made it hard to leave. We fully enjoyed every moment at Jade and did not want to leave. I would say this place, made our stay worthy of traveling back to this part of Costa Rica again. PERFECTO! Oh and Santiago, so welcoming and helpful. Thank you thank you!!"

- "This place was everything we wanted it to be! Loved our time here so much! " - "Highlights: - Close up photo opportunities with coatis, spider monkeys, iguanas and peccaries - Wide open and beautiful gardens to see hummingbirds, toucans, parrots and macaws - Delicious and plentiful food - Incredible staff who quickly make you feel part of the family - Wide range of walking trails from easy to tough – especially the Pacific Trail that leads to a secret waterfall hidden from the beach - At the junction of Golfo Dulce and the Pacific – so, opportunity to see pilot (and humpback) whales in season We stayed in Ylang cabina, perched 120m above the Golfo Dulce, on the edge of the jungle. Fabulous deck for watching the spider monkeys playing in the nearby tree. Spacious bedroom and lounge area. So lovely to be able to hear all the jungle noises during the night through the netted windows as this is an eco-resort run by micro-hydro and solar, so there’s no aircon (or fridge/hair-dryer) but enough power to run a ceiling fan and lights at night. What gives this resort its charm is the incredible ability of all the staff to immediately make you feel part of their family (special thanks to Glenda, Heylin, Mar and Felipe who all went the extra mile and are just charming). That and the many residents who’ve been coming back for years – who we got to know over Tico Sour cocktails at 6pm and the communal dinner (signalled at 7pm by a conch shell horn."

For meals, we could cook right there (the Super Rosvil market is a short walk away) or we could go out to eat - there's Mario's place on the next corner for easy food, or an easy walk to downtown for lots of other options). Secure parking at the apartment beat trying to find parking in town. Maily was a pleasure to work with. The place was very comfortable and clean. Again, I would HIGHLY recommend this!"
