Beautiful view
Publié le 29 août 2024 sur HomeAwayThis house is located way up on the mountain. It has a beautiful view of the Whales tail. From the bedrooms and pool deck. Inside the house is very spacious. Plenty of room for two families. It was just me and my wife. Adri the caretaker is great and will help you out if you need anything. The pool nice but was a bit cold when we were there .You will need a all wheel or 4 wheel deive vehicle to get upthe mountain

Thank you for choosing Del Congos Exotica! our architect achieved his goal of creating a space that feels open and freeing! The location on the mountain affords great privacy, much cooler temperatures than the beach And the cleanest air in the world because of the surrounding primary Jungle! it is a bird lovers paradise! Wouldn’t you want to live or vacation in this magnificent creation? are most common comment From previous Guests Is that this? Was there most memorable vacation ever?

Excellent stay
Publié le 14 août 2024 sur HomeAwayMy wife and I had an excellent time. There are a few things that initially surprised me, but it was no fault of the homeowner. I don’t think there is a better view of the Whale’s Tail in all of Uvita. The house was huge! Definitely larger than 2 people needed, but it was nice having so much space. Adrian was awesome, and set up some tours for us very quickly (which were also awesome)
Some of the things that surprised me a bit:
1. We knew there was no AC going into this, but didn’t take into account just how damp everything is all the time. You will have literal clouds moving through the house. We got used to this after a few nights.
2. Toilet paper goes in bins, not toilets, then goes out with the trash. Makes sense as to why, but this was initially pretty gross/shocking. Got used to it after a while, and it isn’t not specific to this house
3. Ants. They WILL be inside, outside, everywhere. We noticed they tend to invade a specific place for a day, and the next day they will be gone. Mostly tiny ants inside, and leaf cutters outside. Do not leave food or drink out anywhere.
4. We arrived at night, in the rain. The drive up the mountain was steep for sure, but never felt unsafe. The sandy/rocky soil offers good traction in 4x4.
5. Driving in general felt like controlled chaos - laws are just suggestions. Wasn’t bad after we were able to flow.
All of those are just to inform. Overall, we had an amazing time!

Incredible views
Publié le 12 août 2024 sur HomeAwayDel’s place is beautiful and the view is incredible. You can see the whale’s tail from almost every window in the house. The home was very clean and large enough to keep our family of five comfortable. Adrian, the caretaker, lives close to the property and was available to help when we needed it.
Lots of reviews say that you need 4X4. You really must have a TRUE 4X4 vehicle. We were told that our rental was 4X4 when in reality it was AWD. We barely made it up the mountain to the property in the rain. The roads are very steep and a lot less scary with a 4X4. The view is worth the adventure but don’t take this recommendation lightly like we did. Spend the extra money and get the 4X4.
Thank you, Del, for helping us along the way. We hope to be back sometime in the future!

Ainsley,
Thank you for staying at Del Congos Exotica. I was happy when you decided to rent my turbo diesel, 4 x 4 Prado. All of Costa Rica has been experiencing a lot of rain and I felt I’m sure as well as you And your family, that safety comes first! A road is maintained by our Home association and receives maintenance regularly. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay and I’m happy to hear that you want to return again soon.

Paradise on the Mountain!
Publié le 11 juill. 2024 sur HomeAwayI can’t say enough about this place! It’s so incredibly beautiful! The house is equipped with everything you need! I stayed here with my 25 yr old son, and he was never bored, which says a lot! The grounds are stunning! Stop at the waterfall on your way up the mountain, it’s beautiful. We booked a couple of tours through Del and they did not disappoint!! We did a snorkeling trip to Cano Island and it was awesome! We saw sea turtles, sting Rey’s and lots of beautiful fish! I did a horseback riding tour and it was incredible! We came during the rainy (slow) season, so I got very lucky and was the only person on the tour, so Edgar gave me a 2 for one! Not only did I get to go horseback riding through the jungle, but I also got to ride on the beach! He even let me run her! One more thing to check off my bucket list! We had Del book round trip transfers to and from San Jose, and he rented us his 4 wheel drive suv for the week. Driving up and down the mountain is an adventure! We had a great time and will definitely come back! Pura Vida!!!!

Glorious Stay
Publié le 15 avr. 2024 sur HomeAwayAmazing property for Birthday week. The pool and whole home have the most beautiful view and is surrounded by wildlife. Internet was strong but the tv was unavailable due to no remote and the outdoor grill needs a little help. The home is like a museum to Costa Rica and Uvita....filled with awesome artwork and masks available to purchase. Del was a perfect host showing the property and full of local information. Beautiful vacation on Whalestail!

Celeste,
Thank you for staying at Del Congos Exotica.
it was a truly a pleasure to meet you. I checked the TV remote and found that someone had dropped it and the connection worked once I put it back together.! Like all electronics in the jungle, the electronic Spark on the barbecue needed a new battery and has been fixed.
I was really glad to hear that you will be returning soon!

Pool Time
Publié le 24 mars 2024 sur HomeAwayI’ll start at the top, no pun intended as we are up in the cloud forest! 4WD is a must. The bedroom, super comfortable beds! Great towels and bedding. Shower could use a bench for shampoo etc and in case you slip. Lots of stairs, but we enjoyed the exercise. Kitchen was well stocked and sharp knives, bonus! Plan on doing some cooking or eat out early as traveling up and down the MT in the dark is a bit scary. The outdoor living is wonderful. It could use some cozy outdoor furniture. The pool was my favorite! Laps in the morning and relaxing/reading in the afternoon. The view is spectacular looking out to the whales tail, even though no sunrise or sunset views. The birds and wildlife are fabulous! We heard many different birds and howlers. Saw frogs, toucans and coati all on the property. If you like to hike, this place will not disappoint and it can be as extreme as you want. The host is very accommodating. Adrian is the best! He’s a can do assistant and a beautiful soul! Pura Vida💕

Thank you, Brad and Helen for staying at Del Congo exotica! In many ways, it sounds like we exceeded your expectations. However, Adri and I are a little puzzled that you only left a four star review. Since your review, has many five star comments, to the point that we even did an extra mid stay cleaning when you requested. With all of our guests, we always communicate throughout the stay, Adrian lives on the ground. If there are any maintenance issues they are fixed immediately. Very few houses offer this kind of service.

Tim,
Thank you for your kind words. When I am helping VRBO renters before I retired how important a family vacation was! Keeping that in the forefront of my mind, helps me to provide a five star experience to each and every Renter. I’m Not the only one who believes we have the most beautiful view in the entire southern Costa Rica coastline (verified by topographers, returning guests and internet installers) and I also take my job as a Vrbo host very seriously with the end goal of providing an amazing experience.

Honeymoon Heaven
Publié le 5 déc. 2023 sur HomeAwayMy husband and I spent five wonderful days/nights at Del Congo for our honeymoon. We are already pre-planning a future return trip and hope to bring the whole family! This place is serene and idyllic. We loved the town of Uvita, and everyone we met was so lovely.
A few tips. We rented a 4WD SUV (Geely Azkarra). Don't skimp on a rental. We arrived after dark in the rain, so we were glad to have this vehicle on our journey up the mountain. It also had a hill assist feature which was a blessing for our brakes. But don't let the tales of the road scare you away from this property. It is totally doable and honestly a fun part of the adventure.
I also recommend having Alicia prepare at least one meal for your party! She's a great resource and a fantastic cook!
If you want to plan an excursion, let Del handle that for you. He booked us a snorkeling trip to Cano Island and the company/guides were top notch!
Aside from that, I am convinced you will not find a better vantage point for viewing the whale's tale! There are amazing restaurants and bars just down the road (Uvita Beer Garden, Los Laureles, Whale's Tale Brewery), and any essentials can be found a short drive in town.
Whether you're a couple or a whole group, you will not regret staying at this gorgeous home! If you're on the fence, jump down and book this place!! Del is a fantastic host and readily available to answer any questions you may have! Enjoy your trip, Pura Vida!

Sadra,
I consider it an honor that you allowed me to be part of your special honeymoon! Thank you for sharing your experience with others. I’m glad I could put my 21 years of experience in Costa Rica to help you an stress-free vacation. And yes you are correct. All of Costa Rica is mountainous and a good 4 x 4 vehicle is the way to go.
I hope you return soon!

Del Congo Stay
Publié le 8 nov. 2023 sur HomeAwayMy husband and I stayed at this beautiful home and it was lovely. We enjoyed the pool and the grounds. Only special note when they say you need 4x4 they mean it! Once you get up there it is beautiful, we loved seeing the Lappas, monkeys and Tucans!

Anne,
Thank you for your five star review. My home is very unique in that it is on 13 1/2 acres with the best in Uvita 50 mile view of the coastline.
There are 30 other rental homes (all of them on the same typical Costa Rican mountainous roads )which are in our development, ours being the closest to town, yet the most secluded and private, and best view of all of them.
We are so pleased that we could provide a five star experience for you and look forward to your return.

Brett,
Thank you for staying at DelCongos exotica!
It’s pretty obvious you enjoyed your stay immensely by the fact that you wanted to extend your stay another day ,not wanting to leave! I hope you return soon.
