This property was an absolutely beautiful location for this year's family vacation. We felt like one with nature. Early mornings and afternoons brough visits from Capuchin and Howler Monkeys and occasional visits from Squirrel Monkeys. So thrilling! Also, this property is centrally located and close to all amenities including markets, shopping, and quick taxi ride to Espadilla Beach.All excursions booked through the concierge were worth every penny; reasonably priced and most times included breakfast and/or lunch. We did horseback riding, zip lining, 1/2 day waterfall tour, and guided tour of Manual Antonio National Park. We also hired resident chef, Esteban, to prepare both breakfast and dinner every day. He was the star of our vacation! His meals were diverse, delicious, and bountiful with plenty of leftovers. He took care of every part of the meal - setting the tables, meal preparation, clearing the table, and cleaning the kitchen. Our only job was to enjoy the food. We were a party of twelve and we definitely saved money by hiring him. High end restaurant quality food for a budget friendly price. The housekeeping team were very thorough and accommodating to any special requests. The house has had a nice refresh and some photos of the spaces do not reflect that. The upper level of the pool house is different and probably should not be counted as a sleeping option as it is not weather tight and more of a lounge space.
