"We loved CanaVida, the property was beautiful, the condo was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The staff were very happy and friendly. We used the laundry service, which was fast and a great price. The resort also arranged a massage for us and they came right to our room - it was also fantastic! The location is far enough from the busy town of Dominical and Uvita yet close enough to go into for shopping, restaurants and entertainment. We highly recommend CanaVida Jessica and...

"We had an amazing time staying with you! Oscar, our concierge, was exceptional from start to finish. From the moment we booked to the day we left, he was always available to meet our needs, arranging airport transportation, coordinating the delivery and pickup of our rental car at the house, and ensuring everything went smoothly. The property itself is in a fantastic, private location, and we loved seeing all kinds of wildlife roaming the grounds. We’ll definitely be returning for another stay!"
