Fantastic yard and pool, beach was right through the back gate. Loved the chef (Rita) and night-time security guard was very friendly. Home was spacious, kitchen well-stocked.

Hi Bonnie, we are pleased you had a fabulous vacations and that you and your family enjoyed the house, pool, beach on and Rita's meals, we agree with you... excellent meals. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Casa Royal was perfect for our family of 14! The property was gorgeous and Rita was amazing. Only negative was the family room couch. Not very comfortable.Other than that 5 stars!!!We would go back!
Beautiful house, great location. Pool is awesome, Beach is perfect and private and walk into town! Loved every minute.
Highlight is Rita, the chef. Cooked us fabulous breakfasts and dinners almost every day.
House was great!! We had 12 people and had plenty of space for us to all hangout. The cook Riata is a wonderful cook. Every meal was delicious. We all had a wonderful time.
House was awesome! Pool and backyard are as good as advertised and shown in pictures. Beach and sandy ocean just a few steps away. Rita was the best part of the trip, as we relaxed and she prepared two great meals every day.

Great Home
I loved that the home had plenty of room for everyone, and love the cook Rita.
I think the living room upstairs needs a new couch, not very comfortable to sit on.

Thank you Melannie for giving us your feedback. We will submit your proposal to the owners - thank you.
We are glad that you had a wonderful vacation and we look forward to welcoming you at any time again.

Best vacation ever! The staff, concierge and drivers were amazing. The house and yard are lovely. We really enjoyed the pool and sunsets on the veranda. I love that it was so well stocked with everything from kitchen basics to hair dryers. The two washers and dryers were put to good use. But the very best part was having Rita feed us two delicious meals each day. Better than ANY restaurant.

Thank you for your wonderful review, Valerie! We’re thrilled you had the best vacation ever and enjoyed the house, pool, and staff members. We're especially glad to hear Rita's meals were a highlight for you. We hope to welcome you back soon!
We discussed a family vacation last fall, decided on Costa Rica and we could not have selected a better home and location! We had 14 people stay at the home and it was a wonderful experience. Everyone had a great time! Everyone involved with Casa Royal was first class. No complaints! We would definitely stay in this home again! Thanks to everyone who made our week so special.

Perfect Experience
This was the second time my family has stayed in Potrero. The town is great...small town, but plenty to do and to eat. This house was very clean and in great condition. The staff at the house (maid and pool/yard maintenance) and the concierge were 100% on top of it. The outdoor spaces are great and the beach is just steps away. There are several fruit trees in the backyard as well!

Pura vida at casa royal
Our family of 14 enjoyed every minute at Casa Royal. We had a wide range of ages in our group, and all had an equally amazing time. The proximity to the beach, the market and other nearby activities was great. And what can I say about our chef, Rita. She is very talented and provided a restaurant quality experience with a soulful and heartfelt touch. She made our trip the memorable experience it was.
Not a thing.

Gorgeous property
The home was just beautiful. Waterfront gorgeous landscape. Sunsets. Out door patio amazing.
A few minor things. One sink in master the drain would not open. Would be nice to have kayaks or bikes. Would be nice to proceed a few condiments like coffee etc.
Lora
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Oct, 2024
Thank you Lora for your feedback which has helped us to improve our property. The problem with the sink in the master has already been fixed and the kitchen is now stocked with spices and coffee. Whether to buy a kayakbicycles is still being decided.
We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Casa Royal and we look forward to welcome you again.
This place is as advertised. Right on the beach with amazing sunsets, multiple decks to lookout over the ocean, and a clean pool to play in. (Although the ocean was so warm we couldn't pick between the two!) The cleaning service that comes every few days keeps the humidity from making the house feel sticky, and having the option to use the chef for dinners when we didn't want to venture out was such a great option. Would definitely come back in the future.
Wonderful! Clean and well kept. Close access to the small town restaurants, bars, brewery, market, etc.
the grounds were beautiful. Ocean provided magnificent sunsets and daily joy. Pool worked well for 10 adults.
We felt safe the entire time.
Michelle and Teresita made planning, checking in, and checking out a breeze. Rita the chef was great!
Highly recommend.

Paradise
There were 13 in our group. The house was perfect for our group. The location was great, We could walk everywhere ever though we had a 6 person golfcart. The house was perfect and we really enjoyed eating our meals on the porch everyday. The pool was warm and sunny and the yard provided just the right amount of shade when you needed it. The beach in front of the house was great and we rarely saw anyone on the beach. But the jewel of the house was Rita, the cook. Everyone was very helpful and accommodating as far as setting up excursions. Thanks again and we will be back.

We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

Perfect beach getaway!
The location of the house on Playa Potrero was away from the crowds of places like Tamarindo but had enough activities and places around to stay as busy as we wanted. Dealing with the concierge, Maria, at Tropical Homes, was what made the trip over the top, arranging anything/everything we wanted to do.
It's more of a culture thing, but it is an extremely cash intense place. While safe, the need to carry around tons of cash because of the lack of acceptance of other forms of payment (credit card, for instance) made it a little cumbersome.
Michelle
Response from VrboOwner on 24 Oct, 2024
Thank you for taking the time to rate Casa Royal.
Many tour operators try to avoid the credit card fees that the banks charge, while also giving the customer a slightly cheaper price. However, it is usually possible to pay by credit card if you don't want to pay in cash for whatever reason. We can understand that this has complicated your holiday a bit.
That's why we are very pleased that despite this circumstance, you spent a wonderful holiday in the beautiful Casa Royal directly at the beach of Playa Potrero.
We would be happy to welcome you again.
Best regards,
Tropical Homes of Costa Rica

Awesome rental for a large group
This house was perfect for our group of 13. Walking distance to restaurants, a market & massages on the beach. We LOVED having Rita & her daughter cook for us each day. It was such a nice service & a surprisingly good value. Margue the concierge was extremely helpful at coordinating transfers & excursions & super quick at answering any questions we had. We found the heat mid-day to be a little oppressive but loved hanging out on our covered front patio with fans it was comfortable for our morning coffee or evening wine. Definitely a highlight of the house. We would highly recommend this house!
