We spent 10 days at Casa Rio Mar over Christmas and New Year's. What a perfect location to celebrate the holidays. Perfect weather every day in an amazing location. Everything is close by - restaurants, shopping, nightlife, and plenty of activities. Casa Rio Mar sits oceanfront in Jaco and really includes all amenities needed to enjoy a fantastic break. Matt was a great host, offering local advice on things to do, places to go, and lined up some amazing adventures during our stay. Sun, sand and surf at your doorstep!
Our activities:
-Fishing out of Herradura. Matt lined us up with an outstanding Captain. We caught six large Mahi and two sailfish. Captain Henry and first mate Will were amazing.
-A day at Tortuga Island with the entire family, included snorkeling, sun on a small quaint island.
-A day at The Ranch at Ocean Park where we rode ATV's, zipline, waterfall repelled and rode horses. The all day pass includes lunch at their new restaurant and a guide for the day. Jose was incredible! And only 15 minutes outside of Jaco.
-New Year's Eve sunset horseback ride with Cowboy Tours for the entire family. So fun, well timed and organized.
-Monkey Mangrove Tour was so cool. A two hour tour on a boat with a guide. We had Crazy Alex as our guide, who could speak to the animals - amazing. We saw many monkeys, iguana, raccoon, birds and various plant species.
-Matt lined up a couple of excellent chefs to cook for us at dinner. What a great experience and the food/service was impeccable.
No need to rent cars. Rent golf carts or cab around town. The security guards were excellent, taking care of us and the home. Jaco Beaches are very well maintained. Surfing was great for all ages and abilities.
We cannot wait to return!
