This is the third time in Costa Rica for my wife and I. This time, however, we brought the in-laws, nephews, and anyone willing to come. There were 9 of us and Villa Allegria was perfection. 10 days of large accomodating bedrooms within a spacious home. Each room with it's own ensuite, that was tastefully finished, and just a pleasure to use. Each room had it's own balcony/deck access, with a stunning view. The house is literally 5 minutes walking to the beach. This is an amazing feature as everyday we were able to enjoy our hour and a half walks at the break of dawn before the sun was out in full force. We have always come to the Dominical area, and it is fantastic with amazing beaches, no too many tourists, and incredibly friendly and laid back locals.
Marlon, the manager, was on sight when we arrived, even with our delayed flight of several hours. He was incredibly helpful, friendly, and was always willing to help us arrange our day trips. The owner, Todd, was always available to keep in touch with, and also made sure that our stay was perfect. He was even able to help my parents arrange a delivery of flowers and fruit in chocolate on my wife's and mother in laws birthdays. No easy feat considering the addressing and sometimes treacherous driving in Costa Rica.
This house was amazing. The pool was spotless and always ready to use. The house had a great layout and was super conducive to everyone gathering together for meal time or evening drinks and games, while at the same time allowing for all couples to retreat to their own corner rooms for rest and comfortable privacy.
Todd even arranged for 10 days of nothing but blue skies and 30 C weather.
This vacation was one of the best we have ever had as a family and it was made this way in no small part thanks to Villa Allegria.
Thanks Todd and Marlon,
Pura Vida
