It was my family’s first trip to Costa Rica, my husband and I and our three children ages 18, 21 and 23.  We all had a terrific time and really enjoyed everything.  Costa Rica is beautiful and we all enjoyed the house and the pool very much.  We all used the slide to go into the pool rather than dipping our feet and going is slowly, it was a lot of fun.  We loved the villa and the best thing about it was the views.  Each room has a little terrace and every morning we would wake up to the most gorgeous views. The housekeeper was really good and Jeff the concierge was great. Jeff planned really good activities that we all enjoyed.  Jeff was always there when we needed him, if there were any issues with the house Jeff came immediately and fixed whatever needed to be done.  The oven is a bit small and didn’t get very hot but we managed well and having the bar-b- que was great (perhaps it had something to do with it being a new oven).  Manual Antonio National Park and its beaches are just gorgeous and we had a very good guide that gave us a tour of the Park.  The five of us went surfing with 3 guides, we went a on a beautiful local jungle hike called the Mae Trail and some of us went Jet skiing and stopped at a beach to swim among other adventures.  The service from Kosher Casas was extraordinary. Eve was extremely helpful and spent an amazing amount of time helping us with every detail of our trip – including choosing the casa that best suited us, helping us figure out our food order, and being genuinely concerned that all our needs were met. This being our first time in Costa Rica, it was very comforting to have someone available to answer all our questions ahead of time, as well as while we were in Costa Rica.
