"A wonderful gathering place for a family. The view each morning is spectacular - the food is incredible - and the the margaritas and pina coladas are the best! We have zipped through the trees, floated down a river, and sailed to a secret beach! We have talked to monkeys and wandered along a black sand beach! What a wonderful moment in time for our family - thanks from all of us!—T.B. & C.B.
"Be prepared to gain weight! The food, service, and ambiance were incredible. The weather couldn't have been better and I enjoyed everything about the villa. Thanks."—G.F., Los Angeles, CA
"You should be getting some activity on your web site because I am telling everyone I know they need a vacation like this. Thanks so much. Villa Allamanda is beautiful!"
"Just wanted to tell you how much I loved your villa and Costa Rica! I can't wait to go back! I've given my family & friends your website to plan their own vacations. Your staff is excellent; Olmon, Tamaris, Carlos, Allen, Tomato, Guarnar...all professional. All I can say is "wow!" And thanks for your help with the church; the mass was in Spanish but very interesting. I met some people who sat behind me in church from Rock Hill, SC whose son's at Clemson--small world. Anyway, I could go on but I won't bore you. I definitely want to make Costa Rica a regular vacation destination! Thanks." —A.G., Atlanta, GA
"Oh my—We have just returned from the vacation of a lifetime. We were treated like Kings and Queens by the staff at the villa and Doug and Carlos. We drank pina colata at 10:00 in the morning and decided that we didn't want to drive all over Costa Rica when we had a view like the one at Villa Allamanda. We really want to stress how much we like Noel, Demaris and Lillete (I'm sure that I didn't spell the names correctly) but because of them our trip was perfect. We think that Ocotal is paradise and we loved every minute of our vacation. We will be planning our next on soon.Thank you for everything."—D.D., Jackson, MS
"Oh my gosh!!!! It was fabulous, just fabulous. We all had a perfectly wonderful time. The kids loved it, we loved it, everyone loved it. The house, the food, the staff - far exceeded expectations. It was a very smooth operation and everyone was not only friendly but incredibly professional as well. Hats off to Damaris - she's a fabulous cook and we enjoyed getting to know her a little, only language differences kept us from becoming the closest of friends. If you speak to her soon, please tell her I said hello. Oman was great too and seemed to enjoy having so many young people around. Thanks so much for your help in making this a perfect vacation." —L.M., Atlanta, GA
"I could write ten pages on how much my family enjoyed the trip. All I can say is we can't wait to go back!!!"
"Our family had a wonderful vacation - everyone was dissapointed the day we had to leave. We hope to return in the future. The staff was super friendly and very helpful and attentive." —P.C & T.C., Austin, TX
"The vacation was awesome. It greatly exceeded my expectations. We loved the staff. We had Ruth, Francisco, and Lilian. Ruth has got to be the best cook. We thought we would lose a couple pounds by vacationing but gained instead. Francisco was great and didn’t miss a beat. We went on the canopy and Rafting tour. We got together with a guy by the name of Jose and his son Grabin and they took us on a water tour and through a river. Went on fishing trip. Had a few drinks at Father Roosters. Wes, Taryn and I all had massages on the boucony. A good time enjoyed by all. The internet pictures don’t do justice. We really enjoyed the birds and monkeys. I guess no one will understand how wonderful it is down there until they go. Thanks again for all your help. Be sure to stay in touch."—K.N., Annapolis, MD
