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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Family Getaway

We discussed a family vacation last fall, decided on Costa Rica and we could not have selected a better home and location! We had 14 people stay at the home and it was a wonderful experience. Everyone had a great time! Everyone involved with Casa Royal was first class. No complaints! We would definitely stay in this home again! Thanks to everyone who made our week so special.

Perfect Experience

This was the second time my family has stayed in Potrero. The town is great...small town, but plenty to do and to eat. This house was very clean and in great condition. The staff at the house (maid and pool/yard maintenance) and the concierge were 100% on top of it. The outdoor spaces are great and the beach is just steps away. There are several fruit trees in the backyard as well!

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.
