Villa Tranquila: A Paradise in the Rainforest
Submitted: July 13, 2011
Stayed: June 2011
Villa Tranquila is an absolute paradise! The luxiourious interior amenities, such as roomy "great room" , up-to-date kitchen appliances, spacious bathroom & kitchen counterdrawer space (great for socializing) complete with all the appliances and comforts of home,and cozy bedding & living room furnishings made the Villa Tranquila a fabulous home-away-from homein a tropical & lush rainforest environment!
The interior of the home was spotless upon check-in, and the pool/ landscaping was beautifully maintained & manicured! The local hosts (Jenny, Lars, Ralf) were not only friendly, but were extremely accomodating to our needs! And the local mini-mart had everything we really needed to cook at home!
We loved cruising around the ATVs to check out all the beaches & rainforests! And the in-home message/manicure/pedicare was A-mazing! The boat tour to Isla de Tortuga was one of our best snorkeling experiences ever!
As Island travelers, if you asked us to compare our experiences in ,Hawaii, Mexico, Virgin Islands, Bahamas and Bermuda to that of Costa Rica, we would rank Costa Rica's Roma Del Mar as our most favorite & most memorable vacations!
The Costa Ricans are genuinely friendly and we found them to be the least assertive with pushing their wares or services to tourists overall!
For tours: We recommend the local tour to Isla de Tortuga through Roma Del Mar's own Captain Ralf, Wave Expeditions' Balsas White Water Rafting tour, "Mirimar" Canopy/Zipline, La Fortuna Waterfalls, Mount Aranel Volacano and the Suspended Bridge tour to name a few!
Photography enthusiasts should bring their long lenses- there are amazing opportunities to take images of wildlife in Roma Del Mar!
As you can see, our experience in Costa Rica was an unforgettable one~we'll be back!!!
