What made the stay was the 5 star chef. He was over the top with quality and customer experience. We didn't plan on using him but we got amazing meals, on time and with a smile for less than we could go to a restaurant (fresh fish daily). Tipping was asked for several venues.....and an 18% surcharge of your stay added for use of cabinet items (paper towels, coffee, condiments, etc) as info. We gave the Chef a nice tip and an even nicer gift...he was worth every penny!Not the fault of the rental but there were daily power outages, one that lasted 6 hours.

Pictures of house do not do it justice, Chef was amazing. ##### Matt G. Stayed 5 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennalyn S.

We spent the first part of our week in Costa Rica here and it exceeded our expectations. From the moment Chef Ricardo greeted us at the door, we were treated with warmth and care. The meals were outstanding, the views breathtaking, and the massages truly top-notch. The entire property felt like a dream come true!The pool was ideal for both kids and adults, and the space was perfect for our group of four couples and two children. We also booked the extra suite, which gave everyone plenty of privacy and comfort. One of the highlights was the wildlife—we spotted monkeys, parrots, parakeets, scarlet macaws, agoutis, and more, all from the balcony!A point of note: there are a lot of stairs to access the property. While this wasn’t an issue for our group, it could be a consideration for those with mobility challenges.Additionally, one of the couples booked a jet ski tour through the concierge. While the tour itself was fantastic, there was some miscommunication around scheduling and a significant delay in response time. We recommend following up consistently and including the property owner, Jackie, in all communication to ensure plans are confirmed.All in all, we had a magical stay and would absolutely return! ##### Jennalyn S.
