My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Playa Potrero. This is a less visited beach, which was perfect for us. It’s beautiful, not crowded and doesn’t have large waves because it’s in a bay. It’s easy to drive to other beaches, although traffic can be very slow moving ( but that’s Costa Rica). The condo itself is a short 2-3 minute walk to the beach. It’s equipped with everything you need, including a beach wagon, beach chairs & umbrellas, a cooler and even bug spray. The kitchen is very usable, with all the things you need and sharp knives! There is a washer and dryer, which was awesome for us (you don’t have to overpack or take home dirty clothes). All the rooms are spacious and the master is large and tasteful. There is a spiral staircase to get upstairs, which is not my favorite, but not a huge obstacle either. Make sure to check your email close to getting to the property, because they send you the information of how to get in shortly before your arrival. There are people that can assist you that you can call if needed, but there is not “office”. Overall, we highly recommend this place. It was a great price when we stayed (in early/mid January). And there is plenty to do in the area. One important detail of the area— if you are traveling north to some other beaches etc (Playa de la Coco or Playa Hermosa)... gps will try to take you on a long roundabout journey.... But, if you have a rental, there is a river that you can drive through!! It’s by the Congo Trail... all the locals do so and it saves about an hour in driving, depending on where you’re going. Look at a map and you will see there is a much shorter route... you can type in Nuevo Colon, and then your next destination once you’re there. It didn’t work for us any other way with Waze or Google Maps. Goodluck and have a great time! We stayed for 5 days and it was just right... m
