Eric – we just got back from our trip to Costa Rica. Have to tell you how much we enjoyed Vista Magnifica! The home’s view is breathtaking. Love the outdoor living and dining they make for such an enjoyable gathering place. The pool was just heaven to relax and enjoy the view. A confession – we really wanted to kidnap your on-site help. Rosita’s cooking and backrubs are worth twice the price. Bismark was so helpful. They were awesome. Tropical Homes was very helpful when we made our travel arrangements and all the sightseeing. We all commented on how truly lovely the Costa Rican people are. Pura Vida! Thanks again for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Heaven on Earth!!

From start to finish, our experience in Costa Rica was among one of the most amazing life to date. This home is located in beautiful Playa Flamindo and has EVERYTHING you need and more. The management/concierge staff goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure a once in a lifetime luxury experience; from private chef, maid service, tours, etc. they have you covered. With this amazing set-up and resort like home you really don’t even need to leave the house to have an amazing time. Having stayed in luxury homes themselves, I can honestly say this experience/stay takes the care!! We are ready to plan our next trip back to paradise, and cannot wait to visit CR again! Thank you again (owners & tropical homes) for making this one of the most enjoyable retreats and vacations!

Hi,
Just wanted to let you know we made it back safe and had an absolutely wonderful vacation. Your penthouse was beautiful and in a great location. We really appreciate you having all the amenities for a great experience. Little things like beach chairs and a cooler were great to have for exploring the many beaches.

We spent our last day at the Hacienda Guachipelin and had wild time. We got the all day adventure pass, and I think we ran out of adrenaline. If you get a chance the Canyon trip, (rappelling through waterfalls), and their Canopy trip is well worth it. Since they run their zip lines through the river canyon, it’s much different than the Congo Trail.

This was truly a memorable family vacation and I will recommend your Penthouse to friends that are thinking of CR for a vacation.

Thanks again,
Phil

Eric,
Your house is spectacular! We loved it and have never seen a more beautiful view. Your directions were perfect. Britta had some luggage moved to her truck so we could load up on groceries while we were there. She also called one day to see if everything was ok, which, of course, it was. Rosita and Bismarck were wonderful. She cooked for us a lot, and we had our best meals there. We left them a generous tip, we hope, and they were worth every penny of it.

The roads were a real challenge. Thanks for the advice about the vehicles. The tropical storm had washed the roads a lot. The guys loved the fishing, caught quite a few Dorado.

Thanks again for your generous donation for Arkansas Children’s Hospital.
Best to you and your family,
Pat Allen

Dear Britta and Lilian,

Thank you so much for your help during our problems in Costa Rica. I don’t know how we could have survived without the assistance of Lilian. Especially the trip to San Jose was crucial in making our decision whether to have surgery or not. We did arrive in the US on 4 February and proceeded to look for doctors to evaluate my options…. I have put this unfortunate incident behind me and both Paula and I look forward to our next vacation with you.

Again, thank you for all your help.
You will always be in our thoughts and hears.
Paula and Gino
