Our trip was excellent !! The staff was above and beyond excellent. Could not have asked for more thank you to everyone that made our trip any issues were attended to and fixed immediately. . We hope to come back and visit again .
Amazing place. Staff is exceptional. Conciergeâs are wonderful to work with. Place is extremely clean. Family of 10 was very comfortable and had a great vacation experience
Amazing home!!! We celebrated Papa's 80th birthday with 14 family members. Views and service were incredible! Management company very responsive to all communications. Chefs and house staff all friendly and helpful. It was wonderful having some yummy meals cooked so our family could spend time together:)
From check-in to check out. This was a wonderful vacation. The house is amazing; the cook and the entire staff are wonderful. After the first meal the chef prepared, we never even thought of going out to eat. I can't say enough good things about the property management. The kitchen and the entire house is well equipped. The entire family loved the week we spent here. The excursion suggested by Maria were wonderful. I can't say good enough about this property.
We brought 17 people to this beautiful location. The staff was an absolute delight. They were easy to work with. The concierge did all the leg work and responded to all my questions within 12 hours. The house is all that it says and more. The location is great in regards to getting around, I recommend golf carts for the short travels to the grocery and marina. I would definitely come back to this house!
This property was amazing. wonderful facilities, plenty of room, gathering places, sunset views! It was painful to leave! Gustav and Moises were amazing in the kitchen. The cleaners were like elves cleaning the space around us. The staff was always there to help. Concierge was amazing as well. Setting up our trips, making last minute changes - service with a smile. Thank you for all of you support ot make this the best vacation ever! Pura Vida!!!
I canât say enough, how amazing our experience was and how great the accommodations were. Working with Tropical homes to assemble a fun and well organized experience that was executed to perfection. The staff was so friendly and accommodating, and the views from this place are uncanny. I would come back in a heartbeat and do plan to.
We held our yoga retreat here, and everyone had an amazing time. Plenty of beds, and the house was beautiful. The Chefs were amazing and the cleaning ladies were very nice. It was a GREAT surprise when a lady came by, right after we arrived, stating that they offer massages out on the balcony and gave us their business card. Needless to say some got a massage Mon Wed and Fri. They were great! Highly recommend this home!
The house, the property, and especially the staff, were all beyond expectations! The house is absolutely stunning. All of the rooms were exceptional, and we had plenty of room for our party of 18. The pool area had more than enough seating. The beach was beautiful and just beyond the pool. Again, the entire staff provided such a fantastic experience, and we cannot thank them enough!
We had a wonderful stay. Food was amazing and cheaper than expected (maybe because we donât drink alcohol?). Had a huge family there - our 7 children with 3 spouses & a girlfriend, 3 granddaughters, plus my sister-in-law with her three kids and my husbandâs parents. (Babies, toddler, kids, teens, young adult, all the way to 80 year olds!) There was plenty of space that we didnât feel like we were tripping over each other. My kids say this is their favorite vacation ever, and they are comparing to Hawaiian vacations, all inclusive resorts, and European cruises.
Some highlights and tips:
-We loved having a private pool
- At the time of year we were there the beach at the house was not busy. It is a nice beach with small to medium waves. Dark sand, and BEAUTIFUL!
-I would recommend getting the golf carts.
-We booked excursions through the concierge. They may be more expensive this way, (I didnât check) but it provided a seamless experience
-We got massages on the deck! 10/10 experience!
-The housekeeping staff is excellent!! We WAY over packed because they did our laundry every day so I didnât need to bring as much clothing as I did
-I have celiac and Gustavo and Moises were WONDERFUL about making things that I could eat along with my family who donât have to eat gluten free. We celebrated birthdays and they brought candles for the cake. 5 star meals.
-Moises is a fabulous bartender (mock tails for us of course!)
-I would go back in a heartbeat!
This property is amazing! Incredible awesome views including the best sunsets ever! Rooms were perfect for large groups/families. The bathrooms were fully stocked with towels, shampoo and shower gel. Outdoor space was our favorite place to be. Steps away from the ocean. You can spend your time kayaking, paddleboarding or just lounging in the water. Waves are great for body surfing only; which makes the beach perfect for families. Then go back to the pool for a cocktail. Or you can walk to Hemingway's for a drink and some snacks. I don't think we spent much time inside except to sleep. And sleeping to the sound of the waves was so peaceful. But the absolute best part of this property is the amazing STAFF! Gustavo, the cook, made memorable meals and was so accommodating. We had a gluten free person, a peanut allergy person and someone who hated raw onions. Gustavo and Moises went out of their way to make special meals if need be. They even made a separate bowl of Pico de Gallo without onions! Beatrice was amazing. She made a delicious lunch for us from leftovers the night before. And she went out of her way to care for one of our guests who didn't feel well. The concierge helped booked excursions before the trip and during the trip. Even the excursion staff were great! This was one of the most relaxing trips we've ever taken and we believe it was because of the wonderful staff and the location of the property. Book this place! You won't regret it.
We had such a fantastic time at this lovely house in Potrero that my kids still lovingly refer to as âour mansionâ - we were treated like royalty for a few days by our masterful chef and lovely cleaning staff, as well as Moises, our bartender. It was very hot when we stayed, and we had a bit of trouble with the AC units, but help came promptly and everything was repaired. I give this property my highest recommendation!
Amazing - Book it now! Large home with 3 levels, fit our family of 15 ranging in age from 87 to 14 Months with room to spare. Lots of places to spread out, have your own quiet space, or gather for meals, fun in the bar, pool, balcony and overlooking the ocean. The staff was kind, courteous and the chef made amazing meals we all enjoyed. Great time was had by all, memories that will last a lifetime.
What an unbelievable vacation. Rented Casa Taj with 3 other families for our daughterâs senior spring break. In all we had 18 of us. The pictures do not do the place justice. The property is even more beautiful and spacious the pictures suggest. The pool is wonderful, and the ocean is steps away.
However, the house is really not the best part of the place. The staff is what really makes the vacation. Chef Gustavo and his sidekick Moises make 2 unbelievable meals a day. Every morning after breakfast we would plan dinner and breakfast for the next morning. We had a combination of Costa Rican favorites and more typical American fare. All were fabulous. Need cocktail recommendations? Moises can help and make them if you wish.
But thatâs not all, two maids clean and do laundry daily. Not in the way at all, but if you do see them, they always have a smile. In addition, the grounds and pool deck are cleaned daily. Not that it seems like an unsafe area, but there is even a nighttime security guard. He even pointed out the howler monkey hanging out across the street one night.
Book now. You wonât be disappointed.
I have been organizing trips for college fraternity brothers for 40 years. We typically have between 7 and 10 attendees each year so we require bedrooms to accommodate each person. Casa Taj was perfect!. 9 Bedrooms and 9 baths, pool with baja ledge, on the beach with an unobstructed view. Perfect for a git away in the rain Forrest with many activates or chill by the pool/beach. The chef, Gustavo and staff were amazing. They have a great menu but will improvise if you bring back fresh fish. We did have AC issues but the property manager was responsive and resolved the issues. I would highly recommend staying at Casa Taj! you will not be dissapointed.
It was our family of 16 vacation. We have always done Cabo or Hawaii for the week of Thanksgiving and decided we would like to visit Costa Rica. No one was disappointed. Ages from 75-3 and there was something for everyone. The Chef and special staff were excellent and made us feel right at home. Could not have asked for a better vacation . Hope to be able to return again soon.
Casa Taj is incredible! You literally walk out the back door of one of the most beautiful houses I've ever seen onto one of the best beaches I've ever been to. The onsite staff was fantastic, especially the chefs. The staff also took care of all laundry and cleaning every day. We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Taj!
Casa Taj exceeds all expectations. There were 16 of us with 8 grandchildren aged 6-11 and everyone loved it. The cook,Gustavo, made 5 star breakfasts and dinners meeting everyone choices and the entire staff are outstanding in their jobs as well as friendliness and support.The pool and beach are child safe and fun for all ages.The concierge Michelle was on call at all times and gave us invaluable suggestions for outings, restaurants and a photographer for a family beach photo(Javier was also great dealing with everyone.All 16 of us highly recommend!
The best thing about this property were the staff it was so relaxing not to have to worry about food and to have the beds made the house cleaned and even laundry done on a daily basis my girls especially appreciated a vacation time where all of us at a VRBO could have a wonderful vacation
When we pulled up to the property I was in utter disbelief! I couldn't have imagined how truly incredible this property was from the pictures. Walking up the grand front entrance stairs made me feel as though I just won the lottery. We arrived shortly before dinner, and the smells coming from the kitchen, as our chef cooked our first meal, sent my mouth watering. Upon arrival, we met our maid, our chef, and his sous chef. There was absolutely nothing that they hadn't thought of to make our stay perfect. There was a daily landscaper who made us an amazing bonfire one evening, cut down coconuts for our drinking pleasure, and made sure everything was ready each day for us to enjoy the pool and beach. All our of meals were delicious and made as requested. One of our travelers was gluten-free, and the chef always went out of his way to make sure his meal was similar to ours, but gluten-free. The chef gave us the receipts, daily, for our food costs, and while higher than what we might pay in the US, it was still very reasonable, and much less expensive than eating out daily. We never seemed to even lift a finger during our week-long stay. The maid did everything daily, including washing and folding all of our laundry (not an easy task since there were 15 of us). If you are looking for a vacation of a lifetime for a large group, this is the place!
It's hard to put into words.
I have had best friends that I've stayed in touch with since we first met in Kindergarten - and we all just celebrated our 50th birthday together here at Casa Taj.
Casa Taj served up an experience that far exceeded any of our expectations - all 18 of us.
The property is beautiful and offers the perfect home base. The amenities, the pool, the beach, close to a few bars and within an hour or so of other cities to visit, waterfalls, golf courses, etc. The property is stunning but is only really 1/3 of the benefits of booking here.
The next 1/3 is the Concierge service. Michelle took care of so much for us while we were planning and while were there. She booked us a tee time at Conchal Reserva. What a great course to play. Transportation transfers if needed, Excursion recommendations, setting up massages at the home (which we did 3 days), helping with WiFi needs (can be spotty), helping with air conditioner issues. Neither the WiFi nor the a/c issues took anything from the trip at all. This is just a note that they fix things that may go wrong very quickly. I would lean on the Concierge service heavily before and while you are there.
The incredible Final 1/3 of Casa Taj is the staff. Gustavo, the chef, serves up culinary tastes that will WOW you - WOW YOU! Moises, his assistant and bartender made us laugh all the time. The maid and security service was above expectations.
A Celebration of a Lifetime!
Thank you to Everyone!
Highlights of this property is definitely the view and staff. Our large family visited with all ages. The rooms are spacious with locations matching the listing exactly. The staff made us feel spoiled with fresh coconut water, bon fires, daily breakfast and dinner, and daily maid service. The water is calmer here than other nearby beaches which worked well for the littles. Property management arranged jet skis, massages, and a golf all of which I highly recommend. Food for chef was reasonably priced and paid daily. Food was excellent! He even cooked the fish we caught. We will return to Casa Taj without hesitation!
