Clean house, right on the beach. Kitchen was nice, we did the chef service for a night which was great for our group of 12. Gerardo was the chef and the food was great. The beach is black sand and right there but there are better beaches around for swimming, beach time, shade, etc (Playa Flamingo, Las Catalina’s and Playa Conchal). The pool at the house is nice to have for a quick dip but pretty small for all day use.
Overall, clean accommodations that worked well for our group of 12 including use of the Casita. We do wish the house had some activities as there were no games, playing cards, pool floats, beach items, boogie boards etc. I would expect a house at this price to come equipped with activities, games, puzzles etc.
The biggest thing we realized about the area and CR in general was the prices/cost. In all reality, prices for food, alcohol, restaurants were less expensive back in the states and on par with Hawaii. Unfortunately, COVID and inflation have really hit CR hard. I would advise planning ahead and making a Costco/Walmart run for larger groups on the way to the house. There is ample refrigerator space for storage, 2 sets of washer/dryer etc.
Also, Tomas the property manager was quite responsive and did a great job.
