Our family of 4 (two kids under 12, two adults) had a fantastic 1 week stay at Villa Aragón in mid-August! The property had everything we wanted for a beautiful, restful, and comfortable home base as we explored the local area or spent time there relaxing, playing in the pool, cooking, or gazing out the windows, watching and listening to wildlife or waiting for rain to pass. The Aragón family was incredibly helpful and easy to communicate with! Per the family's recommendation, we had Chef Ashton prepare an incredible dinner for us, received excellent in-home massage from Novelty Spa Puerto Viejo, and had an awesome tour of Cahuita National Park from Tirza and Enrique of Life, Culture, and Travel. We were a little unlucky with a couple days of heavy rain during our stay, which revealed a blocked rain gutter that led to a bit of indoor leaking - as with everything during our stay (a cleaning refresh, laundry, questions...), Ricardo was very responsive and helpful. Our family enjoyed the drama of the tropical weather that's so common/everyday there and had a good time in both the rain and the sunshine. We LOVED walking to the beautiful nearby black sand beach. Although the current patterns there are definitely tricky, it was shallow and gentle enough for us to spend long play sessions in the sand and waves. The property was easy to access, secure, communication with the hosts was very smooth, and we felt very grateful we got to stay in such a lovely place. We hope to return!!
