Wow! What an amazing experience and I can't wait to return and I will be back again soon. The house is at the very top of the hill so from virtually every window facing towards the ocean there are fantastic ocean views. On the back side of the house it's a very dense jungle and a lot of wild life. The howler monkeys and McCaw Parotts and Toucans were nonstop. We never got a great view of the howler monkeys but a troop of 15 or 20 little monkeys made there way all the up to the house. It was truly awesome to see them come so close to us. If you're the prissy type this place may not be a good fit for you. You could nit pick about the floors being concrete and the rain forest is too loud and the power might go out for a few minutes during a storm ect. but if that is the case for you Pavone's is a bad idea for you period.

So the house and the jungle experience was truly amazing all on its own but to make things even better the house keeper Jenny and the care taker of the home Santo's were the best of the best at making you feel welcomed and going way beyond normal to make sure everything was great. My group would be gone for hours either surfing or fishing and come back to the house and everything was cleaned including our clothes in the laundry basket. Plus they would bring us fresh cut coconuts and other fruits. Did I mention it was a truly amazing experience? Gustavo was not in town but he would also check in to see what more could be done to make our stay enjoyable. One last thing worth mentioning was the vibe of the town was unreal. While surfing I met a lot of people that were really friendly and I even took my first paddle board lesson from Sean who is a 57 year old guy from Florida that was tearing it up on his paddle board. Sean's wife Natalie also surfs and she grew up there and knows pretty much everything about Pavone's including buying a home there. BTW- his lessons were only $40 and he took us to basically a private beach and the lessons went several hours and worth every colony. The owners of the surf shop Sea Kings were really cool and we went fishing on a ponga right at Pavone's with Captain Juan. The first day we caught 9 yellow fin tuna and the second trip we fished and surfed at Mata Paulo. On our first morning a guy from Connecticut Nick welcomed us to his restaurant. He told us he moved there about 4 years ago following his sister Sherry's footsteps who owns a bar is next to the beach. Thank You for such an awesome vacation
