"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pure Paradise — This Place Has It All We've stayed at a lot of beach properties, but this one genuinely stands out. The ocean was crystal clear, completely calm, and so inviting it felt like stepping into a postcard. The beach itself was refreshingly uncrowded — plenty of space to breathe, stretch out, and truly relax. Natural tree shade keeps things cool without losing that open-air feel, and comfortable cots from the hotel service made settling in for the day completely effortless. The pool deserves its own mention. It's enormous — beautifully designed with varying depths so there's a perfect spot for everyone, from little ones playing in the shallow end to adults doing laps in the deep end. What really makes it special is the activities — there's always something going on that adds energy and fun to the atmosphere without ever feeling overwhelming. We spent just as much time at the pool as we did at the beach. The food is a genuine highlight. Fresh, beautifully prepared seafood, hearty and satisfying Italian dishes, and easy poolside snacks cover every mood and appetite throughout the day. The drinks are a cut above — carefully crafted with their own fresh-grown greens that you can actually taste in every sip. No corners cut here. What ties everything together is the cleanliness and warmth of the staff. The entire property is spotless, and every team member makes you feel genuinely welcome from the moment you arrive. Highly recommended."

"The staff was extremely nice. The breakfast was delicious. We loved the setting - the pool, lounges around the pool and platforms with lounges for looking at the beach. All was wonderful!"

"We had a wonderful stay, we had a few questions along the way and Jorge and Mindy were always quick to answer! We enjoyed the pool and cabana area after long days at the beach, and it was such a treat to have our laundry taken care of by Maria. "

"We stayed in the 2 bedroom villa and loved the full kitchen, 2 bathrooms and outdoor seating area. The pool is large and warm and we had it all to ourselves all 3 days we went swimming. (Closes at 7pm so slight improvement would be longer hours.) Grocery store a couple minute walk away so very convenient if you want to get supplies for some meals. Location would feel inconvenient if you do not have a rental car. (Beach access is a long walk). But with a car we loved how it was central to so many beaches! Tip: bring your own dish soap and cloth as they don’t provide. Also the beds are only made up with sheets, but when we asked for blankets it was no issue to get them."

"We were a family of 10 adults and 11 children ages 2-14. The property was beautiful and served our entire age group well. The pool area was great as well as a turf area for play. The housekeeping staff was excellent! The kitchen was very well appointed for cooking and also having a chief come to prepare several fabulous dinners. There were grocery stores near by and great local casual beach restaurants. We loved being able to walk right out the gate to the beach and swim in the sandy calm water. Can’t wait to go back!"

"Fantastic beach house in Potrero. Has everything you need to enjoy your vacation. 7 large bedrooms each with a bathroom makes spreading out with a large family work. Pool was great for when beach was too hot. Ice machine was a plus. I would 100% rent golf cart again to explore the multiple beaches in the area and expand food options. Jimmy was a pleasure to help schedule a private chef to cook along with booking excursions and airport transportation. It’s not inexpensive but worth it if you are looking for a beach house in Costa Rica."

"Our stay at this Playa Potrero Vrbo was truly incredible and exceeded every expectation.We had a group of 17 ranging from 11 months to 67 years old, and it was perfect for everyone. The kids loved boogie boarding at the beach, pool time, and volleyball, while the adults were able to relax and enjoy the beautiful setting. It’s rare to find a place that works so well for all ages, but this one absolutely does.The communication was above and beyond — thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely caring. We felt so well taken care of from start to finish.Chef Kattya was a huge highlight, creating an unforgettable private chef dinner for my 40th birthday and a beautiful birthday brunch for my mom. Both meals were amazing and so special.The staff went out of their way to make our stay magical, including surprising the kids with a hidden Easter candy hunt. And when my nephew needed stitches, they even gave my brother’s family a ride to the hospital — truly above-and-beyond care.We also enjoyed phenomenal massages on the property.This home is more than a rental — it’s an experience filled with warmth and hospitality. We’re already dreaming of coming back!"

"Great location, nice hosts and very family friendly accommodations. Would definitely stay here again!"
