Guest Comment
"We had 3 families traveling together (VanDerripe, Bunnell, Eddy), party of 11 including 3 young children (3-5 yrs.). We stayed at Villa Olivia. We had good waves and weather everyday. We surfed the main peak down by The Rip Jack, as well as the rock formation out front. We tried most of the local restaurants in Playa Grande, we frequented Kike's the most as it had the best local Costa Rican cuisine(breakfast and dinner) with the best local pricing. We also liked the new Sushi Bar owned by hosts Andrew and Tamarra. We also enjoyed MarBar for lunch and a swim in the pool. You simply can't beat the location and the sunrise and sunsets we're magical. Plenty of monkey's if you search for them, saw several crocs in the estuary on the water taxi to Tamarindo. The Villa Olivia staff took care of everything to make our stay very pleasant and relaxing. Had plenty of hammock time, good times with great friends, and an overall great family vacation. Thanks,"
