The villa was well equipped and very clean; we enjoyed our stay tremendously. The location is remote and unspoiled, so anyone arriving late in the day might want to stock up on food supplies on the way. We would be happy to return. An outdoor area to wash off sand might be very useful!

I love Costa Rica. It’s so full of life and adventure. The excursions are amazing and worth every penny, The people of the country are unbelievably friendly and they truly make you feel at home.

For dining. Be more specific what “casual” is. My husband has a handicap and we got up to the restaurants to find out that nice shorts with a collared shirt is not appropriate attire. After we learned that numerous other people complained also

4/5 - Good
