We are a Canadian family of 6 with 4 children (17-20). We travel every year for University reading week and have been to some beautiful places, but this has been our favourite family trip! The Villa was more than we could have ever dreamed of; we made memories that will last a lifetime. We are so grateful to Eithne and Tim for sharing their piece of paradise. We had coffee and yoga with the Toucans almost every morning! We watched the macaws soar from the lovely outdoor BBQ deck. We were visited by a couple green Parakeets and an iguana by the pool. The pool was the perfect size so all could enjoy, we have been to CR before and the pool was quite small so this was a great surprise. The prime location of the villa allowed us to visit multiple beaches, waterfalls and restaurants. A few highlights included: Matapalo beach, for body boarding and 5 scarlet macaws in the trees watching us, whale tail at low tide, the hike to the Nayauca waterfall, Ojochal waterfall, surf lessons with Jeudy and Jacob at Costa Rica Explorer. Loved Dominical and Lunch at Mongo Congo and a trip to Manuel Antonio where we saw Sloths and lots of monkeys, the beach here was stunning as well! Last nights dinner at La Parcela was breathtaking, go early for the view and a visit from the monkeys. We had a flight change and Eithne was very supportive and accommodating. Take the advice and be sure you get the 4X4, the hill up requires it. Still in awe. Thank you again, we hope to return. Michelle and family.
