Akua Ocean View Suites

While the accommodations appeared nice on the surface and the ocean views were beautiful, there were issues that caused us to depart early and find other accommodations. There was no hot water in either the kitchen or bathroom sinks. The shower did not drain properly. Lastly, the rooms were infested with ants when the evening hit. There were so many that I couldn’t sleep.

Wonderful!

Great property!

Nice property very helpful

View was amazing. Plunge pool was a great benefit

There are not enough stars to give this property! Beautiful villas, breathtaking view, animals just out our door! We stayed 7 nights in Suite 1, toucans, macaws, kookaburras, iguanas, hummingbirds and a Pizote all viewed from our pool deck. Wonderful indoor shower that could be open to outside, also had an outside shower, private pool with lounge chairs. Very clean, grounds well maintained. Would stay here again happily, honestly it was the best part of our trip!

We just left and already want to return. The plunge pool was amazing. The wildlife- iguanas-toucan-squirrels all made it feel magical. The room was cool- clean and spacious.

Very nice rooms and good value for our 1 night stopover. Enjoyed the sunset. Recommended.

The view is absolutely breathtaking at sunset! The pool just puts it over the top! Absolute gem! Ill definitely be back here!

Great view, balcony, and room.

Amazing ocean view with private pool.

The host was more than accommodating throughout the booking, arrival and even allowing us late checkout time, which we needed because of a tour at the nearby Carara National Park. The room was beautiful with an amazing ocean view, clean and convenient with a kitchenette. We saw macaws fly by! Loved everything about Akua!

Our stay at Akua Suites was the highlight of our trip. The view was sensational, the kitchen was well-stocked, the bathroom and shower were excellent, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We would love to come back.

Beautiful property and amazing staff!

It was beautiful. Having your own pool was amazing. Need a rental car, tv options were limited, advertising a bit deceiving. Overall if you have your own vehicle it was very nice

Beautiful location and the plunge pool was superb

We stayed for one night in chalet no.1 and loved it. The property is well appointed and pretty isolated with a lovely outlook over the Gulf of Nicoya. Being close to the River Tárcoles and Carara NP, there is plenty of wildlife and we saw scarlet macaws flying overhead in the evening. Laura met us at the entrance and showed us round our chalet which was clean and quite luxurious with two large beds, kitchenette, large bathroom with pleasant, natural views yet private and secluded, and a patio fully across the front and side with a clean, cooling plunge pool, loungers, tables and chairs. Other reviews have criticised lack of cleanliness, hot water and reliable wi-fi but we had no problem with any of these. Because there are only a handful of chalets here, there is no bar, café or restaurant nearby so we self-catered, though there's a variety of options in Tárcoles (a short drive away) most of which offer online ordering and delivery. The location is fairly quiet, but traffic on the main coast road can be heard during the day at varying levels of intensity. Akua Suites was the perfect final night for our Costa Rican tour. We got up early for a 2-hour birdwatching tour in Carara Park but we still had time afterwards to get a reasonably priced breakfast at the Crocodile Bridge and return to pack up before leaving the property shortly after 11am.

Absolutely friendly and helpful all the time. Property is stunning with beautiful views.

It was a very quiet place Very clean. Easy check in and out. Owner was quick to respond via messages. Would be a great place to stay for a honeymoon.

This is a great place to be on your own. Amazing views from the balcony with a private pool. You need a rental car, and the town nearby is quite small, but it's a lovely place to spend some time.
