Fantastic yard and pool, beach was right through the back gate. Loved the chef (Rita) and night-time security guard was very friendly. Home was spacious, kitchen well-stocked.

The location and house are beautiful. Rita the chef was amazing and her meals delicious. She helped to make this a very relaxing vacation. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a beautiful place for a family vacation. There were 9 of us, 4 teenagers and 5 adults.The only 2 things I would suggest would be to have a different living room sofa. It was in great shape but having a large bolster back and not an anchored back made it great to lay on but uncomfortable to sit on. Second I would suggest letting your tenants know ahead of time that there is night time security. Freddy was great but it was a little unnerving the first night having someone you didn’t know about prowling the yard.

Casa Royal was perfect for me, my 3 adult children, 3 spouses and 4 grandchildren. The house is beautiful and the house and the view were even better than the pictures! The black sand beach wasn't ever crowded and the hermit crabs at dusk were fun for the kids. We had some sunsets that were out of this world as well. The older grandkids loved catching the waves on the boogie board. There were plenty of chairs for the beach and 2 outdoor showers. We had iguanas, loads of butterflies, dragonflies and birds. Our chef Rita was fantastic! Her meals were all top notch and we were so pampered with not having to shop for food or clean up after meals. Rita and her husband Juan took great care of us. Her battered and fried fish was so delicious and the fresh tropical fruit was amazing. Don't miss the Tico breakfast - we had it twice.Potrero is a cute little town and the market is within a five minute walk of the house. We visited Flamingo beach and Tamarindo which were both a short drive from Potrero. The catamarand tour and ziplining, ATVing and animal rescue tour were both so much fun for everyone in the family. The couch in the main living area had to be moved so the unattached backs wouldn't keep falling off but once we rearranged it was comfortable. The only negative was the range of the wifi wasn't great, but we really weren't on devices much. I appreciated the security guard that patrolled all night every night that we were there.Beautiful property!!

Casa Royal was perfect for our family of 14! The property was gorgeous and Rita was amazing. Only negative was the family room couch. Not very comfortable.Other than that 5 stars!!!We would go back!
