"On behalf of our group
Lance and I want to thank you for the memorable time we had. We were
excited by all we saw on the web site and researched on our own, but the
villa experience went beyond anything we imagined! I think this was our
best group vacation ever and it was all due to you and the staff!
First my thanks
for your endless patience in answering all our questions. I know others
contacted you individually, and we all said "Aren't they great? They are
so friendly and helpful." Your answers and suggestions enabled us to plan
ahead for our excursions too. The suggestion to lay out an itinerary
before the trip was the best suggestion you made to me. In fact Alejandro
said we were the best prepared group he had ever met! Which I find hard
to believe since we bombarded him with yet more questions as we decided on
our tours.
Which leads to my
second thanks - to all the tour operators. Our group can bit a bit unruly
and we don't always listen well! Alejandro's good humor fit right in with
ours and it was a pleasure having him as our guide to Costa Rica. The
love of his country was evident as was his pride in sharing it with us.
It was such fun to see what he would bring back to the bus after a
surprise stop - we have an entirely new appreciation for cashews! The
love for the country and the care to preserve it was evident in all the
tour guides we met - Anthony, the Palo Verde boat driver; Miguel and
Lawson, our snorkel guides; the fishing captains, the sunset cruise mate,
as well as the retired veterinarian who took us on the local nature walk.
We enjoyed meeting them all and thank them for making our trip so
special. And we recommend the villa suggest their services to future
visitors.
And finally the
villa staff. What good care they took of us in such a sweet and happy
manner. Ronaldo and Felix kept the frozen drinks coming, even when we
didn't know we wanted one! Maria and the staff in the kitchen kept us so
well fed - we knew we had to avoid the bathroom scale when we got home!
The food was fabulous and they were so accommodating making sure we got
fed even if we weren't present at meal time. It was so pampering to just
show up at the table with no concerns for cooking or washing up. And
Christina and the house keeping crew kept our rooms sparkling and pleasant
to relax in. Gabriel and Ulysses were also patient in answering our
questions and popping us into town for shopping. We couldn't have asked
for more and already we want to come back. How depressed we were to come
back to cold and gray weather."

"I
can't even begin to tell you how great our trip was at your Villa. Thank
you so much for the opportunity to get to experience Costa Rica. Your
Villa is wonderful. I think I experienced a glass of wine or a cup of
coffee in all of the ocean view spots. I chose a different place each
day. The staff and Guides were so great and a lot of fun. The food was
excellent!"

"Villa Cascada (Pura
Vida) WOW it is great!!! Our group of 18 had a wonderful outstanding time.
Maria, Rolondo and the rest of the staff were outstanding. The entire time
we were at the house not one of us could raise a finger to do anything
without being asked if we needed help. Highly recommend the zip line tour
on the Congo Trail, true exhilaration. I would highly recommend this house
for any corporate retreat or family outing. I cannot wait to visit again,
this next time with my family."

"We spent our annual
Friends & Family week for 2005 at Villa Cascada. Our group of 23 were more
than comfortable in the spacious villa. The entire villa staff was
excellent, and a very special thank you to the van driver Uylsses for all of
his assistance to our group during our stay. I broke my ankle on the first
night in Costa Rica, but I still had a wonderful time. The staff
helped to make my vacation great. My son spent most of the time in the
villa swimming pool and my husband enjoyed seeing the wild life. I
have recommended visiting Costa Rica and staying at Villa Cascada to other
friends and family. My family and I look forward to returning."
The Graysons
"Our trip to Costa Rica will certainly be a memorable one for years to come.
This was our largest group trip thus far and the villa was very comfortable
and spacious. The countryside is beautiful and everyone was very friendly.
The food and drinks were plentiful and the staff was gracious and always
helpful. Danielito is the neighborhood dog who visited us everyday. I
think he enjoyed our company as much as we enjoyed seeing him everyday.
I would stay at Villa Cascada again, and I recommend this villa to anyone
who would like the view from this "big house on the hill". Pura Vida!"
The Harpers
"Villa
Cascada was a wonderful experience. The amenities of the villa and the
essence of the country right outside our door made this a true vacation
getaway!

| "I have
to say the villas exceeded my expectations. They are both very beautiful.
I also want to tell you that the staff at the villas are top notch.
They are constantly
working away and very very attentive. I was only there for 2 days and it
was a whirlwind but Gabriel helped me get everything done that I needed. He
set up a meetings with an officient, water sports, Fredrico etc. etc...
I really got
excited for the wedding and now feel much calmer about the decision I made
to have it in Costa Rica and at your villas."
Sincerely, Delia |

"We
had a wonderful time at the Villa. It was definitely a trip of a lifetime.
The staff was amazing & worked so hard. The food was incredible and we
loved how flexible they were with times. We were busy every day, River boat
tour, deep sea fishing, surfing, snorkeling, and diving. We also enjoyed
the night with the band and the snow cone machine was a huge hit!"

"We REALLY enjoyed
our stay at the villas. We loved the view and the rooms etc. were
all very nice. The warm weather and sunshine every day was great.
Gabriel and all of the staff I had contact with were very helpful and
pleasant. We really enjoyed Phillpe, the tour guide, and Manuel, the
bus driver, very much. They were excellent. Phillpe is very
knowledgeable and his English is very good. Both were very pleasant and
we were with them 2 full days and then Manuel drove us to the airport on
our way home. Hopefully we will be back again."
