Beautiful comfy house, killer view
I traveled with my brother, his wife, and their 2 adult sons, one of whom has Down Syndrome. We had a great time on the beaches, walking through jungle-y areas, zip lining, and eating out every night. But the star of the trip was this house. The layout was perfect for us with air conditioned bedrooms with their own baths and balconies and very comfy beds. The kitchen is well stocked and had good ground coffee in the cupboard. There’s a nice grocery store in town. The housekeeper Laura kept this house immaculate and washed our clothes 3x a week. She motivated us to learn Spanish. As everyone mentions, the drive up to this house is steep and rocky and requires 4wheel drive. We got lost but the concierge Michael met us at the Riverside resort and led us up the drive. The drive from the airport was painful and took forever so we were tired and hungry when we got to the house. Michael took one look at my unhappy nephew and had pizza delivered! Up that crazy drive! The next day he arranged for a tour guide through MA Park. My nephew hurt his ankle first day and Michael told us where to go to get it Xrayed on a Sunday. They got him in right away and he received terrific care…just a sprain. Restaurants in town are good. We liked Falafel Bar, Agua Azul, Cafe Milagro, Emilio’s. For lunch Buena Vista and Rico Tico. Skip El Avion…It‘s the Spaghetti Factor of CR. Do go to Mirador for an extra special dinner.
