We arrived in San Jose De Coyote at 1am due to a flight delay. We were not able to use our U.S. cell phone (Verizon) to call the housekeeper as pre-arranged for the house keys. Luckily a guy standing by the road smoking a cigarette helped us out and his buddies cellphone worked. Vivian's husband arrived 10 minutes later and led us to the house 10 minutes west of town. (5 minutes of that drive is up the mountain on the private drive after you leave the road). The road is somewhat steep and bumpy but very manageable in even a passenger car. Honestly, our first impression of the house when we walked in and saw the kitchen was "uh oh". The kitchen is sparse, as is the case with most of the out-of-country; VRBO properties we have rented. The kitchen was equipped with the basic stuff, although the two non-stick skillets were so worn out that cleaning them was a chore. There were no measuring cups, measuring spoons or even a shot glass for mixing drinks. There were no paper towels, no napkins, no basic condiments of any kind, so be prepared to hit the local grocery for all your basic cooking items. The prices are high for everything, probably double what you will spend at home. There is NO GASOLINE available in town. The two closest sources of gas are the town of Jacaral, 33 km to the east (it's on the way from the Liberia Airport, so stop there on your way to the house and top off. The next closest gas is the town of Cobano, about 38 km south, on some pretty basic gravel roads with several river crossings. (no, not on bridges, you drive through the river) so we recommend a 4 wheel drive. We had a Suzuki Grand Vitarra and it did fine. All the roads in the area are gravel. Drive defensively and avoid the many, many sharp rocks laying in the roads to protect your tires. We carried a rental sat phone (from Mobal) as you are out of cell coverage a lot. The house was clean, and we chose the upstairs master suite. The bed was comfy, and the two basin bathroom modern and well appointed. Note, bring your own hair dryer. The view from the patio is just stunning, and you will experience local wildlife, (howler monkeys, Iguanas, peccary's; Tejons (Mexican word for the White Nose Coti) which is a cousin to the racoon. The pool was clean, and warm. We would not recommend Rios Restaurant at all, but highly recommend Rancho Loma Clara restaurant. Also nearby is Barcos, an awesome beach-front restaurant. We recommend this property and would return.
