Our stay at Casa Reina was a complete paradise. The home was gorgeous and spacious enough for our entire group (9 adults!) to spread out and get lots of rest and relaxation. From swimming laps in the pool to napping in the "hammock garden," each of us was able to fill our days just how we wanted. I especially loved coming downstairs each morning to everyone lounging around the large indoor and outdoor living spaces, just drinking coffee, reading books and enjoying themselves. At mealtimes, we would gather together at one of the large dining areas to play games and enjoy an imperial light. As I said, paradise!
If, like our group, you plan on cooking a lot, I would recommend stopping in Liberia to load up on supplies. There is a very convenient little grocery store, Wilmart, near the home but it might not have everything you need/want. We also arranged to have a cleaner every day which kept dishes and clutter to a minimum. If cooking isn't your thing there are several great restaurants in the area, our favorites were Rip Jack Inn (also great for a sunset cocktail to take to the beach) and El Huerto. One night we had a sushi chef come up to the house which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
If you are looking for a little more activity the sunset sail was a highlight of our trip! Serendipity charters did a great job and seeing Costa Rica from the water was unforgettable. Surf lessons and an estuary tour are also a great way to spend a few hours.
Having been to Costa Rica several times before and staying at hotels, we loved the privacy and serenity of having our own house. Keith and his team provided us 5-star service and the luxurious home felt like a boutique hotel we had all to ourselves. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with family or friends.
