Location
The location was inaccurate it takes close to 5 hours to there from San Jose the people drive real slow so it takes a lot longer than three hours. The house and host r wonderful but it is a long way away from San Jose and u don’t just need a 4 wheel drive u need a high profile 4 wheel. If u like nature and quit which we do it is great will go back but now no what to expect.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE
Just WOW! The property and the management team are amazing. If you are looking for a "jungle" getaway then look no further. The house is immaculate and perfectly secluded near an amazing waterfall for swimming. We loved the pool and the outdoor seating areas to enjoy our daily encounter with all of the birds (especially the toucans). All of the amenities are wonderful and the team managing everything are so easy to communicate with. They were available anytime we needed them. We would all stay at Casa Monos Locos again on our next trip to Costa Rica.

Very private with great pool and sunny terrace
The house is nice, located in the rainforest with beautiful sunsets. Everything was extremely clean, the cleaning lady is top! We were enjoying the pool and sunbathing at the terrace which is nice sunny. All parts of the house and garden are very private, you never see the neighbors. There is beautiful natural pool for swimming in the river and picnic area just next to the house. Communication with the property management was outstanding, they were always attentive and helpful. We had problems with electricity shortages (most of the times problem outside of the Portasol area), which was creating struggles for our remote work due to lost internet connection. Just another day we received a backup generator which was really amazing and appreciated. Unfortunately, we had bad luck with cicada invasion, they overpopulated just around the house and there was nothing we could do about it. The cicadas created noise of 82 decibels nonstop from 8:30am till 6pm. Then in the night we couldn't sit in the open living/dining area because they were flying around like crazy and bumping into us. I would ask in advance what is the current situation because it happens only during mating period just few weeks per year. Other than that, we had good time with my husband,

Dream trip of a lifetime
I don't think words can do justice to this picturesque property in the rainforest. Not even photographs can capture the peaceful, tropical paradise in the treetops. The house is both elegant and practical. My mother and I spent 7 days at this beautiful retreat and swam every day in the private pool...even in the rain. Our favorite nearby town was Dominical, although The Montapala beach was very nice and just a 10 minute drive. Surprisingly, we didn't see any monkeys or tropical birds while at the house, (we heard birds) but we were able to go to Manuel Antonio, 40 minutes away and see them. If you are afraid of insects and lizards, this house isn't for you....but what do you expect in the Rainforest? The nearby waterfall and river were nothing short of breathtaking, and we always felt safe at Portasol. I will remember this adventure forever and always, and am so grateful for the opportunity!

Amazing property!
This is an amazing place! It’s quiet, and beautiful and has everything you need to spend time soaking in nature. We saw so many animals here. We saw an anteater coming home one night, and lots of frogs and lizards. The river and waterfall is within very close walking distance & you should definitely plan to swim there—it’s breathtaking! The staff was so helpful & easy to reach. We appreciated the gated security, too. We would definitely stay here again!

Very nice if u know what you’re getting into
The place is very cool in a really interesting place. Everyone told us the road in would be a problem but it wasn’t and we didn’t have a 4x4. Security is very nice and helpful. The house is nice and done well. We are 9 people and it is meant to fit us but almost everyone is in two bedrooms with one one bathroom between them. That was a bit of a struggle as well. The pool is cool and has a cool view but we went during rainy season and it was too cold for us. I’d def think hard before going during rainy season though. Everything is outdoors. Each bedroom and the kitchen are indoors but to get from one place to the other you have to go outdoors. The seating and eating area is also outdoors. It’s covered from the rain but the wildlife is very intense. There are bats flying around and massive lizards and frogs and grasshoppers and insects. So if you’re really good with bugs etc, go for it. If that makes your kids nervous, it can be stressful. The waterfall nearby is so cool but unfortunately we kept getting poured on so we didn’t get to enjoy it. If u go during the rainy season, go out early all will be fine. I’m summary, if u love the outdoors, got for it. If u want some space between you and the outdoors, look elsewhere.

Needs a remodel
Although the property was amazing and the waterfall nearby was to die for, the house is in need of work. The downstairs bedrooms which house 4 of the 5 beds was absolutely infested with spiders and bugs. It took me 2 hours to kill them all, but still kept coming in. There are cracked in the ceiling, molding, and doors that allow every bug from the forest in. We also found out the hard way that you need to turn off every light in the home and use candles for light after 5pm when the locusts are in the area. We were attacked by hundreds of them. With the outdoor living area, we were pretty much banned from it after 5. I'm sure it's not a problem when the locusts aren't there. As for the rest of the house: It was nice and as advertised. Wifi doesn't work downstairs (just a note). As for the property: It's a 500 acre secure property with amazing rain forest. It truly was a paradise. The waterfall and swimming hole made us forget all about the bug infested room. The swimming hole is 15 feet deep and there is a cliff you can jump off of into the pool from about 20 feet up. It was so awesome! If they would remodel that downstairs I'd give this place 6 stars if I could. The fact that they think it's ok boggles my mind. It's dated and in obvious need of serious attention.

Away from it all in the Central Pacific
This was our first trip to Costs Rica and had just 5 days to experience as much as we could. Staying with Portalosol Living in Portalon allowed us the experience of being nestled away from tourists surrounded by lush rainforest. The house is as it’s described-all the mechanicals and appliances worked well. It was nice to have our own space to cook a bit. An advantage for our 2 families who enjoy being able to have a refrigerator stocked with favorites. Because it was a first trip of just 5 days, at times I might have wanted to be closer to Quepos where our adventures generally left from. Or if the long dirt road were paved that might have helped. So being in an area that is remote had its challenges, but the privacy afforded us by the house and beautiful property was a reasonable trade-off compromise.

Casa de Paz
This review is for Casa de Paz, as the original house we booked ( shown in this picture) was not available upon arrival. Casa de Paz was a very nice house near to the Casa de los monos locos that we had reserved at VRBO. The Portasol loving area is a beautiful area in the middle of the jungle, up the round from the main highway about 2 kilometers. It is a convenient location as it is about 20 or 30 minutes to Dominical and Quepos and just a little farther to manual Antonio and Uvita. The house was comfortable for our family of 8 and the air conditioning in the bedrooms was a valuable necessity that made sleeping comfortable. We had many little visitors such as frogs, toads, and all kinds of insects including a praying mantis that were so cool to see each evening. The Portasol living property has its own beautiful waterfall to spend a peaceful afternoon. The staff of Portasol were also very helpful with providing us with information. Only a few minor problems. One is that the house we rented had a room with bunk beds to fit our 4 kids, while this house didn’t so we had to figure out sleeping arrangements differently. We had originally booked the Casa de los monos locos due to the features of the beds in the 3 bedrooms, so we were a bit disappointed about the change in house without any notice until arrival. Also the Casa de Paz has to share its WiFi with another house and is extremely slow. It says high speed internet, but it was not that at all. Overall the house was very nice in a nice location with nice amenities such as abundant hot water, air conditioning, fans, washer and dryer. It
