Perfection in every way....

We had been dreaming of coming here for a long time and all our expectations were surpassed. The beauty and tranquility of Flying Toucans was just what we needed to de-stress and relax. We didn't do a lot beyond sitting in the sun and enjoying the pool (which was sublime with a view beyond your imagination). The house is out of the way and secluded, but we felt very safe. Every amenity you could want is here. The kitchen is both huge and modern (with full size fridge, microwave, dishwasher, and all the cookware you need) and looks out into the open-air living room and pool. The living room area has plenty of seating and is quite comfortable. Everything here is done in a classy way. The bedrooms have fans, and BEAUTIFUL bathrooms with showers that open to the lush jungle. The master bedroom had a very comfortable bed and a TV for watching one of the many DVD's provided. The second floor terrace is HUGE and has a wonderful double hammock for afternoon naps. While this home is gorgeous and pristine, you won't believe the wildlife that surrounds you. Howler monkeys, a sloth family that lives in the tree right off the master bath, white-faced monkeys, AMAZING toucans, hummingbirds, dragonflies, lizards, crabs, are just some of the wild life you will see. If you decide to spend any time away from the villa you will find the charming and fun surfing village, Dominical, just a few minutes away. Some fun bars and shops, even a lovely Catholic Church we attended can be accessed easily. Watching the surfers from the bar/restuarant Tortilla Flats was fun and the locals are always entertaining with their crazy stories. You must, must have dinner at least once at a fabulous place called Exotica in Ojochal. The food is so sumptuous and the husband-wife-chef-hostess offer a great place for romance or family fun. If you like horseback riding don't miss Nauyaca Falls Riding trip. Really fun. We loved FT so much we are coming back for our honeymoon in April!
