Check in Procedure

  • Checkin time: Your Villa will be ready any time after 3:00 pm (we need this time to proved the deep cleaning necessary between guests) unless you have a pre approved early checkin time.  Early checkin and late check out is available but is per availability and be confirmed the day before your arrival. Once you are on the road please message us at our CR number +506 8304-8474 so we can be ready for you incase you are delayed on the drive. 
  • Keys & Arrival: Our on-site care takers Janet and her Husband Donald (they live in the apartment next to Villa 2 above the garage) will be there to greet you and open the home as well as give you the keys and answer any questions you may have.  We are also always available to assist should you need us via whats app or phone. ​
  • Cleaning: ​​Cleaning &  the Safety of our guests is a top priority and we are following the Health Ministries recommendations for the sanitation during this time.  Your home will be give to you clean and in order and should you desire to have daily cleaning services our cleaning team are available for you for $3 per hour to be directly to the girls in cash.  Please let us know in advance if you would like to have them so we can coordinate that for you so you can relax and enjoy your stay with us! 
  • Electrical Allotment & Meter Reading:  Our caretakers will take a meter reading for you upon checkin since your rental comes with a daily allotment which is sufficient to cover normal use of the home and minimal use of the ac for sleeping only (8pm-8am).  The home is designed to stay fresh naturally and the hill top has beautiful natural breeze most all of the day and at night.  The home has many fans and also has screens on the windows and doors so you can keep things open and stay cool naturally!  If you choose to use more AC in the day time it will go over the daily allotment and for this we charge per KW over the included 50KW per night .70$ USD per KW exceeding the limit.  We do not do this to make money only to cover our costs as the electrical is very high in CR and these are very large homes and due to our current promotional rates we have to cover our costs if guests wish to use more electrical.  Our groups that use the AC more liberally end up paying around $50-$60 per night extra just to give you an idea of the costs if you choose to use more the Central AC system . ​
