Hi Barb ~ Thank you for your kind words. You never said anything to us about the tiny problems that you say you had...if you brought it to our attention - we would look after it immediately...Well, maybe next time - because we would LOVE to see you guys again! Meantime we wish you all the best!

Welcome home again. We are delighted that you had a good time here during your brief stay. A nice place to relax and reflect on your other Costa Rica experiences! This country is so vibrant that it is overwhelming at times.... We hope that next time you visit you will be able to explore more of the wildlife preserve that we have here: Foxes, deer, wildlife of every imaginable type including several varieties of parrots and monkeys are our neighbours.. Your choice of an SUV was a wise one, as it obviously gave you the latitude to visit many of the more remote and lovely beaches and settlements of the area. Restaurants, fresh fruit stands, pubs, social activities, water sports, golfing, tennis... SO much to see and do! limitless experiences. We'll be delighted to see you both again. Costa Rica is missing you !! Come for the adventure...Come for the relaxation. PURA VIDA. Tom and Igor

Obviously, different people see and experience things differently. These folks arrived 2 days before Christmas and immediately – before even seeing the accommodations or the A/C ‘s - announced that they would not be staying for the contracted week, as one of them was having family problems and they would have to return to San Jose after only 3 nights. We explained that there would be no refund, as they had given us no advance notice of their intention to shorten their stay and were therefore unable to re-rent the premises to someone else… At the time, this was apparently no problem and he accepted that shortening his stay was strictly out of our control… The next morning the gentleman reported that there was insufficient air conditioning in his unit and he could not sleep and no hot water in his unit. We investigated and followed up with a call to a repairman, who reported that the A/C temperature was set at 16 degrees inside the unit. As a result, the compressor had frozen up. (The outside temperature was then 36 degrees!) The technician also established that the hot water tank was operating fine, yet the client later reported that - somehow mysteriously- “the hot water in the sink did not work…{but} taking a shower was like being in a sauna” We offered them another suite (free of charge), - which they accepted…Then he reported that the refrigerator and ice maker did not work in either rental unit! We called another technician who reported that they were all working just fine! Then this gentleman claimed that the air conditioner did not work sufficiently for them. Again we called a technician and checked the output of the A/C unit ourselves. The technician confirmed that the A/C was operating fine. In short, we went out of our way to ensure that both accommodations that these folks took possession of were working well The loss of food was never mentioned during the stay. (The bar fridge would not have held $300 worth of food!) - Neither us nor our staff saw any evidence of such spoiled food. All of the photos were taken recently and NOT “at the time of construction”. In all, we regret these folks having had an unpleasant experience…They arrived here with an intention to leave after 3 nights – and they did. We tried to do our level best for these folks - as we do with all of our guests. At the time we had 52 other guests here who were clearly happy with their accommodations, the facilities, etc. We have not received complaints from anyone else!

WOW !! Thank you for your kind observations, Marc! As always, we are delighted to have guests who are as interesting and interested as you! It really makes our efforts worthwhile. Thanks, too, for being so gracious to the staff, who always appreciate the chance to speak with our guests and share their experiences. (There is no such thing as "bad Spanish"!) Our unique compound - spread over several developed acres - offers opportunities to either relax in total privacy or interact with other guests and local residents in the many social areas. 2 large swimming pools, multiple levels of tropical gardens, romantic winding stone staircases all add to the immediate ambience. We are always happy to assist in planning trips to the many local beaches - each with its own special "character" - area towns, cultural tours, river cruises, birding trips, fishing, snorkelling and surfing excursions, shopping trips, land exploration and horseback tours. Golf and tennis are readily available, too. We're happy to help you follow your interests. An almost endless variety of wonderful restaurants dot the area, so special dining experiences are never far away! Come for the tranquillity ... Come for the excitement ... Come for the adventure ... Come for the culture ... Come ... Rest your soul in our little corner of Paradise. VILLAS CASA LOMA "COSTA RICA: NO ARTIFICIAL INGREDIENTS!"

"We will be looking forward to your return. Thanks for your pleasant endorsement, Keith! There are new restaurants to experience since your visit, so for sure you'll have many new and pleasant culinary experiences... As you discovered, the wide variety of beaches in the immediate area are a special bonus. Having a 4 X4 vehicle for "jungle" exploring is always a bonus, too. We will be delighted to work with you again on finding interesting things to do and fascinating places to explore on your return to our little corner of Paradise. The friends that you have made among the locals will - we are sure - welcome your return, too! It is always a pleasure to host people who share your inquisitive nature and sense of adventure. Come back soon! Costa Rica is missing you! PURA VIDA!! Tom and Igor"
