Beautiful View right on Pacific
Review Submitted: August 18, 2011
Date of Stay: July 2011
My family of five spent a week at Casa Amarilla at the end of July and had a lovely time. The 3 cute bedrooms and two bathrooms gave us plenty of indoor space, while the outdoor patio area with small pool directly next to the beach provided us a view which is literally too pretty for words. The property manager, Patri, checked in on us once in a while to be sure everything was fine and to offer information if needed, and there was a nice man who took care of the pool each morning, as well as a woman who thoroughly swept the entire patio area each day. The patio area is also beautifully landscaped with all kinds of tropical foliage, and there are huge almond trees where scarlet macaws often came to feed -- what a cool experience to behold! All necessary cookware and dishes were available, and they even had a large tank of drinking water for house guests and laundry detergent to use in the laundry room -- thoughtful touches.
I would recommend having a rental car if staying at this house as it gives you the freedom to travel to the nearby towns and restaurants, and perhaps check out the Crocodile Bridge ten driving minutes away or maybe Jaco, which was about 20+ minutes south (not a terribly worthy town to visit -- but lots of nice souvenir shops and some decent eateries to try). Also, the beach on which the house is located is made of rocks and seemingly best for looking at. Therefore having the refreshing little pool out back is a nice thing to have (especially with our 3 young children). The driveway heading down to the house is a bit harrowing and rugged, probably due to heavy rains and such, so a 4x4 helped out with that; but overall, Casa Amarilla provided us with a great Pacific coast stay, and did I mention the VIEWS??? Wow. A peaceful place to stay...

Owner's Response: Hola Claudia, Ryan, Ayla, Arley & Sorin!
Thank you for the glowing review and we truly do appreciate it.
You and your family were very low maintenance, fit in wonderfully to the atmosphere, GRACIAS for loving and inviting in our dearly beloved older cat, Freddi and also our resident hound dog, Pinta.
Your taking over the feeding was an especially loving gesture!
We are very happy that you enjoyed your stay here at Casa Amarilla and that you embraced the Costa Rican experience.
We agree with you full heartedly that our dirt road down from the highway does need some urgent attention and we are working on it, your comments are appreciated.
We hope that one day in the future you and your family might come back to this area.
Take care & regards from CR, Patricia, Jarra (Pool/Guard) & Santos (Maid & grounds person).
