Location: 10/10. Couldn't ask for a better spot. It's far enough out of the way that there are hardly any people on the beach (seriously, it felt like a private beach), but if you want to go out for lunch or shopping, you can walk a short way down the beach and take a 2, 2 minute long boat ride to bustling Tamarindo. This is a big advantage of being at the south end of Playa Grande. Service: 10/10. Between concierge, Sher, who took care of our every need, the friendly housekeepers, and Leo and the maintenance team who took care of the grounds and the pool, we felt very well taken care of. Although we had several issues with the house during our stay (all within reason for a house in the jungle - ants appearing from nowhere, a shower that didn't work, etc), each of those issues were taken care of promptly (like, within 15 minutes or less!)Chef: 10/10 If you are debating about hiring Alcira, the chef, don't hesitate! The food was delicious, fresh and plentiful at every meal. We originally only intended to hire her for a few nights, but ended up requesting extra nights . Highly recommended!House/Facilities: 8/10 The house itself is spacious and comfortable and has rustic character. However, there are a few things that could be done to make the stay even better. Some of that sheets and blankets seem worn (although they were very clean), we had an issue with water leaks and the patio doors are old and hard to open. Some new cushions and a few fixes would make it a 10.
