Initial setup with Valerie and Fernando was effortless. We set up Room designations, Chef Services, 2 meals a day, Snacks, Beverages, Excursions, Transportation and all went off as planned. Valerie went the extra step and made room masterpieces with local goodies for each of the rooms. A basket of local oils, spices, hot sauces, and snacks. We were met by Ricky (house manager) as we arrived late night and then revisited the net day after we were settled. It was nice to know that my guests had a go to guy for anything. Ricky answered and resolved all of our phone calls. Having a Ricky in a foreign environment taking care of you was a sense of security. Marjorie, our house Lady, was suite and ran a tight ship with all the house helpers. house was in tip top shape each morning. She was so willing to take time and address anything we needed. Chef Junior and his kitchen accomplice David were fantastic. Food flavors, portions, variety was spot on. Great Steaks, unbelievable fish, the extra mile on our Surf and turf Lobster night was awesome. The daily fresh fruit was great to eat fresh or fused into Janet's top notch Pina Colada's. Yes, unexpected was the introduction of our Cocktail extraordinaire Janet. An unexpected surprise to our arrangements. Let's take to the next level and we had a request book that we could order anything for the group ( ordered special beverages, ordered bandages, ordered lip medicine, ordered popcorn) it was delivered to us within hours. The air conditioned rooms were awesome to take a siesta and sleep at night. The house and its views are spectacular. A comfortable setting for cocktails, lounging, dining, playing cards, watching a movie or tanning in the pool. We had 3 types of monkeys visit us every day. Woke up 4 out of 7 morning by monkeys playing on the roof. Our friends were woken up all 7 days by a pair of Toucans. Your spending a week living at the zoo. Team Casa Fantastica, thank you for a 2019 vacation to be remembered. Ricky, we closed all the doors and turned the pool light off. Till next time!
