Our family of 6 spent 10 days at this condo over the Easter holiday. It was fabulous! We loved the size of this large resort community. We had our choice of pools from the kids' favorite the small condo pool, the beach club pool and the paradius pool. The owner had a nice gift basket for our arrival, containing juice, coffee, beer, etc. The condo was very spacious and clean. All of the people we encountered in this country were so friendly. We always felt safe. We rented a car during our entire stay and ventured off to different towns everyday. My 3 kids, age 12 and twins 11, loved the different animals they saw around the resort, from the iguanas, cuantis, to the howler monkeys. We did many excursions, zip lines at Congo, trip to Arenal volcano, deep sea fishing, ATVs on the beach, mud bath at miravalles volcano, and surfing. My husband recommends billfish safari for fishing, ask for joquain. He caught a 500 lb Marlin with them!! My son enjoyed surfing lessons with Matt from Point Break Surf. The conceriege can arrange several trips, but it is costly. Instead I would recommend using Javier, a guide suggested by this owner. Javier took us to a volcano where we enjoyed mud baths, hot springs, and a beautiful waterfall. He was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and worked for gratuity only. This was a wonderful vacation, the kids best vacation so far! Would highly recommend!
