My girlfriend and I stayed at finca de nada for 4 days and loved every minute of it. Very straight forward from the start. The pictures and description of the property are up to date and pretty much spot on. The home is very nice and well kept. There is a little bit of wear and tear on some areas but nothing that will take away from your experience. From the sounds of it Colin (the owner) has plans to take care of those small problems in the near future. After our stay at the finca de nada we stayed in a house that cost 4 times as much a night up in the mountains above Tres Rios and it was much more modern with A/C but it had so many issues I don't have time to explain them all. We wanted to go back to our little piece of paradise in Rincon after our first night in Tres Rios.

From the start we really liked Manuel (the caretaker), a quiet, hard working, genuinely nice local man that would be willing to do anything you asked without question. Colin is very lucky to have him. We also had a chance to meet Colin the day before we left and he also is a very nice guy that seems to truly love his home in the jungle.

The animals in the area hardly seem to notice your even there after a couple of days. Howler monkeys wake you up in the morning and let you know when its time for dinner. Humming birds are everywhere, Macaws are flying overhead all day and land right in the trees above the house sometimes. toads, many different types of insects, coati, peccary, bats the list goes on. The fishing was slow but that was due to extremely warm waters, still very fun and easy with the kayaks at the property. The snorkeling was great.

I would recommend this to anyone that likes an adventure and doesn't mind the heat. It truly is like camping with a really nice jungle home to stay in. The home is completely wide open, no doors, windows, or screens. The mosquito netting over the beds is your only protection. We did not have any issues with bugs or animals while sleeping at night. We did burn a small candle on a plate in the middle of the room just to give us a little light to be able to see if we got up in the middle of the night. You also need to plan ahead for your meals, Manuel will gladly take you back to your car at any time but the more you stock up the first trip out the better. There is not a refrigerator but they do have a very large icebox (I could easy fit into) they keep stocked with ice so keep that in mind while you are shopping.
