Gisella was friendly, welcoming and attentive, making sure everything was in order for a pleasant stay. She provided us with fresh avocados and lovely fragrant floral arrangements from her garden. She also shared some history of the main house and surrounding property with us. They have an interesting past. The cottage is spacious, clean and quite comfortable. The kitchen had everything you needed for cooking and food preparation. The grounds are surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, huge trees and flowering tropical plants that provide a peaceful private experience. There is lots of free roaming wildlife on the property. Chickens, roosters, cats, geckos and the occasional wild pig. We enjoyed having our breakfast and coffee on the covered veranda while overlooking the grounds and watching the wildlife. In the evening and early morning the sound from the Coqui tree frogs and roosters can get loud. It is not an unpleasant sound but if you are a light sleeper you might want to bring ear plugs. We did and slept quite well. This is not a perfect pristine resort experience but instead is a charming, rustic, and unique experience from from another era. We enjoyed our stay at Gisella's guest cottage and would stay there again
