Los Malinches, amazing home and garden!

Our family of 16 including 7 kids, spent 8 days at Los Malinches. There was plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was well supplied. The outdoor area included a beautiful garden, swimming pool, tennis court, soccer field, ping pong table and comfortable patio areas. Washer and drier were used often. A fridge in house, and a fridge and freezer in washing room were all used. It’s helpful to know some Spanish for communicating with caretaker. He came daily to clean pool and patio areas. 10 minute drive to main street in Jacó made it so convenient.

Positives and Negatives

It was difficult to come up with a fair review for this property - so here's the positives. Good location close to Herradura & Jaco, nice pool with shallow end for the young kids, wonderful outdoor spaces (covered buildings - amazing sitting outside during massive rains), big property that feels private, good room layout, a nice "local" property feel. AC and fans in the bedrooms were excellent. It would be a 2-star review if left within the first few days, not sure if we're the first renters but here are some of the negatives. The property manager & on-site maintenance speak no English, us no Spanish (both very nice), but the property management group (Vacasa) is terrible IMO. It took 5 days with multiple requests by us to get more than 1 key and gate remote so we didn’t have to leave things open when not day tripping together. Property pictures are misleading - playset is in poor shape and you wouldn't let kids on it, trampoline has some rot & wouldn't be safe, tennis court has rackets but no balls and no darts for the board and the ping pong table is just a table (no net or paddles). As most people don't travel with those, and they feature so prominently in the pictures I'd expect they'd have those available - in our case not major issues but felt a little misleading. We could only find 4 pool towels which is a bit odd considering they advertise it sleeps so many people? We paid about $400/night (rainy season) so 4-star value, less if it cost more.
