The house is beautiful, very clean, and the landscaping is stunning. However, the constant noise of weed wackers, leaf blowing, yard maintenance and music from the adjacent properties was a bit of a drag.
Also, we added 2 more guests to our stay a few weeks prior to our arrival, and for whom of course, we had to pay extra. However, 2 days before their departure they tested positive for Covid and were not allowed on any plane. The place where we stayed at a few days before getting to Villa Cabu offered to refund us their stay, even though they had a no refund policy. Here they didn’t even offer a partial refund. We did have a friend from Fortuna come stay the night prior to our departure so as to drive us to the airport the next day, so paying for him made sense. There is a “no refund” policy on Villa Cabu’s agreement, but we never did cancel our actual stay which originally was only for 2 people anyway, so it would have been nice to be offered some kind of a discount for our loss, like the original property did. It’s just poor business etiquette, and a main reason why we will return to the other property on our next trip but not this one.
Furthermore, we have stayed at 48 different places throughout all of CR, from 5 star to treehouse, and although we always leave the place extremely clean (from gathering all garbage, to stripping the beds), we have never actually been asked to take out our garbage and clean all the dishes, especially considering the fact that we were charged cleaning fees, a service that we actually cancelled because we didn’t want people in and out of our “space” due to covid.
But if you don’t have any issues with the above statements, then Villa Cabu remains a beautiful home to stay at.
