Luxury Vacation in Paradise
Submitted: September 26, 2011
Stayed: July 2011
Our family of five were going to Costa Rica for a long - really long -
vacation. We knew we were going to stay in one place for two months,
and we did a lot of research and considered several locations. We
spoke with several villa owners and knew we had found heaven on earth
when we decided on Batik. The owners were extraordinary from the
first point of contact - we felt taken care of from the first email.
And their dedication continued throughout our stay (we got to know
them well as they were also there for part of our stay).
The property is just gorgeous - true luxury nestled in marvelous
surroundings. The villas (and we stayed in two of them during our
visit) are wonderful - beautifully designed, Bali-style. They are
very spacious, with wonderful open-air living rooms, and tremendous
attention to detail. True homes, which invite lounging, relaxing,
sunbathing, entertaining. And as if the property and the great
swimming pools weren't enough, you truly have gorgeous Playa Hermosa -
a fantastic surfing beach - as your backyard. Our three kids (11, 7
and 7) had a blast, whether we spent the day on the beach or in the
pool.
The service at the property is outstanding - the owners, the concierge
and the staff were all extremely helpful; we felt we became part of an
extended family. Our whole stay was absolutely flawless, a huge
testimony to the quality of the property and its staff.
Given our long stay, we truly got to know Santa Teresa, Playa Hermosa,
and Mal Pais. We visited other properties, got to know the other
beaches and just about everything else about the area. The magic of
Batik is its privacy, you are a few minutes drive from the "center" of
Santa Teresa, but you live practically in the jungle, surrounded by
wildlife and vegetation, in incredible peace and quiet. We cannot
think of any place in the area to match Batik. We are certainly
coming back!
