The PAD at Buen Camino
2.0 star property
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, 16 reviews
"Be ready for rough a ride up the hill and nothing around...but once you get there it's paradise. Perfect place to unwind far from city noise. (And no barking dogs!) Dani is a gem, speaks fluent English and super professional. We had a wonderful dinner and a great breakfast facing the mountains. You can even see the ocean. The little villas are rustic and super comfortable. I want to go back!"

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, 196 reviews
"For our second week in Costa Rica, we chose this home in Atenas. The photos do not do it justice- it is such a wonderful and relaxing retreat. The private pool and outdoor shower allowed a connection no nature. Hammock and hanging chairs, lush landscaping, toucans…. Just too much to mention. We will return to this special place. Lizz did massages on the breezeway our last day to the sound of rain and the birds. Communication was excellent."

"For reference we stayed in Atenas Costa Rica April 14th through April 19th. The house is gorgeous, and the view from the backyard is stunning. On two separate occasions toucans came to the tree in the backyard to feed on the berries. We also had 6 head of cows/ bulls wander up one morning while we enjoyed coffee on the back porch. The late afternoons did get warm, but we just cooled off in the pool. We did not see any rain while we were there. The nights do cool down, but was still a little...

"Pros: The pool was amazing! Definitely the highlight of our stay. The view from the patio was beautiful and a great place to relax. The bathrooms were really nicely updated. The beach was nice as well. Cons: The doorknobs and window locks need serious upgrades. The hallway bathroom window lock was broken and the window was open (with no screen). I found the screw on the window sill and screwed it back in place to have the lock work again. The patio sliding door knobs felt like they were about...
