Great Property

Very pleased with property. We had stayed there in 2019 also. A couple disappointments, only four lounge chairs around pool. Pictures show 5. Two of them were pretty worn. We had 11 adults so four lounge chairs did not work well. Although the property had added beach chairs since our last visit so we used those around pool.Rita the chef was really special!!! Her good was outstanding! Also the landscaping was tired and not well kept.

Paradise

There were 13 in our group. The house was perfect for our group. The location was great, We could walk everywhere ever though we had a 6 person golfcart. The house was perfect and we really enjoyed eating our meals on the porch everyday. The pool was warm and sunny and the yard provided just the right amount of shade when you needed it. The beach in front of the house was great and we rarely saw anyone on the beach. But the jewel of the house was Rita, the cook. Everyone was very helpful and accommodating as far as setting up excursions. Thanks again and we will be back.

Gorgeous property

The home was just beautiful. Waterfront gorgeous landscape. Sunsets. Out door patio amazing. A few minor things. One sink in master the drain would not open. Would be nice to have kayaks or bikes. Would be nice to proceed a few condiments like coffee etc.

Amazing views and location

The house was better than the pictures! We had 8 adults and 7 kids at the house, there was plenty of room and the outside living space is amazing! The outdoor table fit our whole family. Kitchen was well equipped. Beach front was very swimmable for the kids . We walked to several restaurants and bars all were kid friendly. We will be back!! The road directly in front of the house is unfinished, but don't let that scare you off. The living room couch upstairs is very awkward, and not really a good place to hang inside for a large group, lucky the weather was so amazing we spent most of our time on the outside furniture which was very comfortable.

Idyllic beachfront home

This was a beautiful home, very spacious and well-equipped with a fantastic location right on the beach. The pool and backyard were very well maintained and the views from the upper balcony were incredible with the most amazing sunsets. Plenty of space for our party of 8. Protrero was much quieter than some of the other nearby towns but still had plenty of restaurants. The Costa Rica Sailing Club was a 2 minute walk from the house where you could rent sail boats, paddle boards, and kayaks, and organize boat/sailing/fishing trips. Would absolutely stay here again! A small drinks refrigerator downstairs would be nice. Upstairs sofas are really weird and uncomfortable. Water is switched in most rooms, which took a while to figure out. In the garage, the red faucet was cold and blue, hot so our first load of 'cold' laundry was run with very hot water.

Awesome rental for a large group

This house was perfect for our group of 13. Walking distance to restaurants, a market & massages on the beach. We LOVED having Rita & her daughter cook for us each day. It was such a nice service & a surprisingly good value. Margue the concierge was extremely helpful at coordinating transfers & excursions & super quick at answering any questions we had. We found the heat mid-day to be a little oppressive but loved hanging out on our covered front patio with fans it was comfortable for our morning coffee or evening wine. Definitely a highlight of the house. We would highly recommend this house!

Perfect beach getaway!

The location of the house on Playa Potrero was away from the crowds of places like Tamarindo but had enough activities and places around to stay as busy as we wanted. Dealing with the concierge, Maria, at Tropical Homes, was what made the trip over the top, arranging anything/everything we wanted to do. It's more of a culture thing, but it is an extremely cash intense place. While safe, the need to carry around tons of cash because of the lack of acceptance of other forms of payment (credit card, for instance) made it a little cumbersome.

Pura vida at casa royal

Our family of 14 enjoyed every minute at Casa Royal. We had a wide range of ages in our group, and all had an equally amazing time. The proximity to the beach, the market and other nearby activities was great. And what can I say about our chef, Rita. She is very talented and provided a restaurant quality experience with a soulful and heartfelt touch. She made our trip the memorable experience it was. Not a thing.

Rita fed us like royalty!

Best vacation ever! The staff, concierge and drivers were amazing. The house and yard are lovely. We really enjoyed the pool and sunsets on the veranda. I love that it was so well stocked with everything from kitchen basics to hair dryers. The two washers and dryers were put to good use. But the very best part was having Rita feed us two delicious meals each day. Better than ANY restaurant.

Wonderful! Clean and well kept. Close access to the small town restaurants, bars, brewery, market, etc. the grounds were beautiful. Ocean provided magnificent sunsets and daily joy. Pool worked well for 10 adults. We felt safe the entire time. Michelle and Teresita made planning, checking in, and checking out a breeze. Rita the chef was great! Highly recommend.

A Private Paradise

This house, as well as the entire property was SO beautiful and perfect for our large family! We do a big family vacation every year and have stayed at some gorgeous properties that we did not think we could ever beat, but Casa Royal did just that. From the cleanliness of the house, the layout of the house, the outdoor space, pool, stunning ocean views and the lush palm trees, flowers, fruit trees and yard! The pictures cant' quite capture the beauty, you just have to see it. The beach is never crowded and has wonderful sunsets. The updated security system worked great and we always felt very safe. We loved the location on Potrero beach. It's on a dirt road with several other very nice houses, each one private. As previous reviews state, Rita, the private chef, goes above and beyond what anyone would expect. She shops for the groceries required to prepare the food you request, she cooks meals that taste better than any restaurant we tried and then cleans the entire kitchen! And even better, the cost for having her cook was much less than going out. The management company was very helpful from the first contact and followed through with arranging tours and transportation for us. Don't hesitate to stay at this private paradise! No improvements necessary!

I loved that the home had plenty of room for everyone, and love the cook Rita. I think the living room upstairs needs a new couch, not very comfortable to sit on.

Incredible vacation spot

My friends and I had an absolute in Costa Rica thanks in part to this property. When we weren't out on adventures we were at the house running from the pool to the ocean to the outdoor showers and back to the pool again. The neighborhood is a little sleepy -- not much going on during the week but that means privacy, quiet, and a chill beach where you're not overwhelmed by people and jet skis. Just a short walk up the beach there is a sailing center where you can rent kayaks and SUPs, as well as a massage tent (they'll come to the house!). Book a fishing charter or sunset cruise and if the weather is nice enough the boat will pick you up and drop you off right at the house. Rent golf carts and take them to Playa Brasilito where you can ride horses, rent jet skis, snorkel, and more. If you are lucky enough to get Rita as your cook you will not be disappointed. She handled all of our dietary restrictions without complaint, and we asked her to get creative. She made the most wonderful vegan desserts, and used fish we'd caught in the morning to make sashimi and ceviche. She made delicious empanadas and homemade tortillas. One of the highlights of the trip and way cheaper than eating at restaurants. There were always plenty of towels and housecleaning came a few times during the week, and internet service was excellent. I would absolutely stay here again!

Casa Royal

Beautiful location on the water. The house and some amenities were a bit dated. The property was clean and it was nice having housekeeping come every other day. Rita the chef was terrific and made mornings a breeze by having breakfast ready. I was a bit disappointed in the fact that we had a kitchen sink faucet whose use frustrating because it was broken and leaking water from various parts. I feel like this should have been replaced before we arrived. I was also disappointed with the fact that the main sliding door to the house/2nd floor balcony was broken and unusable after the 2nd or third day. We were forced to use the smaller opening off to side in the kitchen eating area. This should have been addressed immediately so that we were not inconvenienced. I also reported a dangerous situation with a loose metal drain (sharp) in the master shower which was not repaired. Thank you

Costa Rican Luxury!

This place is as advertised. Right on the beach with amazing sunsets, multiple decks to lookout over the ocean, and a clean pool to play in. (Although the ocean was so warm we couldn't pick between the two!) The cleaning service that comes every few days keeps the humidity from making the house feel sticky, and having the option to use the chef for dinners when we didn't want to venture out was such a great option. Would definitely come back in the future.
