Istmo Retreat - Playa Grande San Carlos

However, there were some issues with the property. It could benefit from better maintenance and a thorough cleaning, especially in the shower and kitchen areas. The pathway should be improved with more gravel and fewer dead leaves. The room decor could also be enhanced with some new colors. It took a while to get hot water, wasting a significant amount of water. We also experienced some difficulties with a noisy brush cutter during our four-day stay. The ceremonies held by the neighbors were disruptive and not conducive to a relaxing stay. The owners' dogs were quiet and friendly. The electrical outlets only accommodated US plugs, so don't forget to bring an adapter. On our last day, we encountered an issue with no hot water and only the gardener was present, working loudly for three hours with his equipment. Unfortunately, this was too much noise and disturbance for those seeking a peaceful and stress-free stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this restaurant. We came with friends and rented two bungalows with a kitchen. It was a great setup to enjoy with friends. There are plenty of places to relax in hammocks or on terrace chairs, and the nearby beach is stunning. There is plenty of sand, few people (at least during the week we visited), and lots of trees providing shade. We will definitely be back, just be aware that the road from the highway requires careful driving. It's not dangerous, just watch out for potholes and bumps.

Quiet, with good mood and great facilities, very close to the beach. a jewel near the city, for a good segregation from day to day stress, while up-to-date stood with the work.

This restaurant is truly unique! The host is friendly, the food is delicious, and it's just steps away from the beach. The atmosphere is relaxing, with a large balcony to enjoy. The room is impeccably clean. Thank you!

Beautiful place located 5min (walking) from the beach. The Cabañas are simple but clean and equipped with an AC. Customer service is nice and friendly, the breakfast was big and delicious!
