We spent Christmas 2008 through New Years 2009 in the condo and enjoyed every minute of it. My husband and I and our two children, a 20 year old and a 16 year old, had plenty of space in this unit. It was modern and clean and quiet (except for the New Years celebration!) The property manager, Rene, went above and beyond in making our stay enjoyable and relaxing. Steven & Brian & their dad, Ricardo, were absolutely awesome in showing us around their beautiful country and in offering helpful tips and advice on getting around and enjoying adventures! The grounds around the condo are very well kept and security was obvious throughout our entire stay.
We took two planned tours, one the Palo Verde National Park river tour, and the other the all day Guachipelin adventure including zip lining, rappelling, climbing, horseback riding, and tubing. I would recommend either but caution that the Guachipelin adventure is pretty vigorous (and not the smartest choice for someone who is afraid of heights!)
We rented a car and traveled around Guanacaste without a problem. Some of the roads are very "rustic" but our car was able to maneuver well enough. And the locals were very gracious wherever we went in giving directions or in laughing with us when we would order food with only a very rudimentary knowledge of the Spanish language. Many people spoke at least some English. Overall, the people were exceptionally friendly and the country is absolutely breathtaking. We ate at several restaurants in and around Flamingo but especially enjoyed Camaron Dorado in Brasilito.
