Rita fed us like royalty!

Best vacation ever! The staff, concierge and drivers were amazing. The house and yard are lovely. We really enjoyed the pool and sunsets on the veranda. I love that it was so well stocked with everything from kitchen basics to hair dryers. The two washers and dryers were put to good use. But the very best part was having Rita feed us two delicious meals each day. Better than ANY restaurant.

Family Getaway

We discussed a family vacation last fall, decided on Costa Rica and we could not have selected a better home and location! We had 14 people stay at the home and it was a wonderful experience. Everyone had a great time! Everyone involved with Casa Royal was first class. No complaints! We would definitely stay in this home again! Thanks to everyone who made our week so special.

Perfect Experience

This was the second time my family has stayed in Potrero. The town is great...small town, but plenty to do and to eat. This house was very clean and in great condition. The staff at the house (maid and pool/yard maintenance) and the concierge were 100% on top of it. The outdoor spaces are great and the beach is just steps away. There are several fruit trees in the backyard as well!

Pura vida at casa royal

Our family of 14 enjoyed every minute at Casa Royal. We had a wide range of ages in our group, and all had an equally amazing time. The proximity to the beach, the market and other nearby activities was great. And what can I say about our chef, Rita. She is very talented and provided a restaurant quality experience with a soulful and heartfelt touch. She made our trip the memorable experience it was. Not a thing.

Gorgeous property

The home was just beautiful. Waterfront gorgeous landscape. Sunsets. Out door patio amazing. A few minor things. One sink in master the drain would not open. Would be nice to have kayaks or bikes. Would be nice to proceed a few condiments like coffee etc.

Costa Rican Luxury!

This place is as advertised. Right on the beach with amazing sunsets, multiple decks to lookout over the ocean, and a clean pool to play in. (Although the ocean was so warm we couldn't pick between the two!) The cleaning service that comes every few days keeps the humidity from making the house feel sticky, and having the option to use the chef for dinners when we didn't want to venture out was such a great option. Would definitely come back in the future.

Wonderful! Clean and well kept. Close access to the small town restaurants, bars, brewery, market, etc. the grounds were beautiful. Ocean provided magnificent sunsets and daily joy. Pool worked well for 10 adults. We felt safe the entire time. Michelle and Teresita made planning, checking in, and checking out a breeze. Rita the chef was great! Highly recommend.

There were 13 in our group. The house was perfect for our group. The location was great, We could walk everywhere ever though we had a 6 person golfcart. The house was perfect and we really enjoyed eating our meals on the porch everyday. The pool was warm and sunny and the yard provided just the right amount of shade when you needed it. The beach in front of the house was great and we rarely saw anyone on the beach. But the jewel of the house was Rita, the cook. Everyone was very helpful and accommodating as far as setting up excursions. Thanks again and we will be back.

Perfect beach getaway!

The location of the house on Playa Potrero was away from the crowds of places like Tamarindo but had enough activities and places around to stay as busy as we wanted. Dealing with the concierge, Maria, at Tropical Homes, was what made the trip over the top, arranging anything/everything we wanted to do. It's more of a culture thing, but it is an extremely cash intense place. While safe, the need to carry around tons of cash because of the lack of acceptance of other forms of payment (credit card, for instance) made it a little cumbersome.

Awesome rental for a large group

This house was perfect for our group of 13. Walking distance to restaurants, a market & massages on the beach. We LOVED having Rita & her daughter cook for us each day. It was such a nice service & a surprisingly good value. Margue the concierge was extremely helpful at coordinating transfers & excursions & super quick at answering any questions we had. We found the heat mid-day to be a little oppressive but loved hanging out on our covered front patio with fans it was comfortable for our morning coffee or evening wine. Definitely a highlight of the house. We would highly recommend this house!
