Being in Costa Rica, you might also spot harmless insects like ants, cockroaches or geckos, especially during the rainy season. Don’t worry, this is just part of the tropical environment, not a cleanliness issue! - Power Outages: Power cuts are common in Santa Teresa and you may experience them during your stay. This is a normal part of the local environment. - Humidity: Santa Teresa has an average annual relative humidity of 74%, with peaks up to 87% in October and lows around 71% in February. This high humidity can make it difficult for clothes to dry, especially during the rainy season. It’s completely normal for clothing to take longer to dry in these conditions.

Casazul - Tropical escape ocean views - Villas for Rent in Santa Teresa, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

We live in Costa Rica, and this place is a haven of peace far from the capital. The monkeys came to say hello to us. The view, the decor, the swimming pool, and Fiona's kindness and speed—everything was very positive. We will be back! Thank you so much for having us! 🙏🏻👍🏻❤️

Nous vivons au Costa Rica, cet endroit représente le havre de paix loin de la capitale. Les singes venaient nous dire coucou, la vue, la déco, la piscine, la gentillesse de Fiona et sa rapidité, tout était très positif, nous reviendrons! Un énorme merci de nous avoir accueillis! 🙏🏻👍🏻❤️

Nestled in the heights of the Mar a Mar residence, the accommodation is a small haven of peace. Quad/motorcycle required. I'd go back the next time I visit Santa Teresa.

Niché dans les hauteurs de la résidence Mar a Mar, le logement est un petit havre de paix. Quad / moto obligatoire. J’y retournerais à ma prochaine venue à Santa Teresa.

Absolutely loved this stay! From pre-check-in to check-in and check-out, every detail was seamless and easy. The host was highly responsive, helpful, and made the entire experience feel effortless. The stay was even better than I could have imagined. The location was convenient, and the gated security made the property feel very safe and secure. The kitchen was also extremely well stocked with pots, pans, a blender, and everything we needed to feel right at home. The only small suggestion would be to provide dishwasher pods for easier cleanup, but overall, this was an incredible stay. I would absolutely recommend this property and hope to return next season!

We had a fabulous stay at this home. This was our 5th visit to the area and we keep coming back to Mar-A-Mar. The homes (like this one) are fantastic, the host is great, beach and restaurants are close and we love the monkeys, pool, and balconies. This property is up a very steep hill so you may want a car/ATV/SxS, but we walked it a few times and it’s a fun challenge if you are able. You can’t go wrong with this property, it’s wonderful.

We had a lovely stay at the villa. The space felt private yet was so conveniently located. It was perfect for our family. Thank you Fiona and team!!

Beautiful, peaceful place in a great location The apartment is super lovely - beautifully furnished, has big open windows, and we really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. The view is stunning, the pool was great, and the proximity to town and the surf was incredibly convenient. We also really appreciated being able to book just a few hours in advance. The only note is that the place didn’t feel fully prepared when we arrived. It was nothing major, but it did affect the first impression slightly. With a little more attention to preparation before check-in, this would easily be an excellent stay.

Incredible villa overlooking the ocean, it is a dream in terms of interior design, location, atmosphere. The hosts are super friendly and available. The only thing I would add is that driving up there can be challenging for some people, as well as walking from the house to the parking lot (it's definitely not synonymous with accessibility), but if you ask me, the view is worth it! You need a powerful vehicle or 4x4. Also keep in mind that the pool is shared and is located in another sector of the neighborhood :) Excellent stay, thank you very much!

Increíble villa con vista al mar, es un sueño a nivel diseño interior, locación, ambiente. Los anfitriones son super amables y disponibles. Lo único que agregaría es que conducir hasta ahí arriba puede ser desafiante para algunas personas, así como caminar desde la casa al parqueo (definitivamente no es sinónimo de accesibilidad), pero si me preguntas, la vista lo vale! Necesitas si o si un vehículo poderoso o 4x4. También tener en cuenta que la piscina es compartida y se encuentra en otro sector del barrio :) Excelente estancia, muchas gracias!

We loved our stay in Casa Azul!   Fiona was very friendly and helpful.  She met us in person at check-in and was available throughout giving us great recommendations for a surf instructor and for a nearby nature preserve.  The climb up is very steep so renting a car with 4 wheel drive as they recommend is a must.   We walked down and back up on foot a couple times for the exercise, but most of the time we used our car to get down since the climb was not easy.  We really enjoyed relaxing in the balcony surrounded by nature.  The views were amazing and we got to see so many beautiful birds and even a family of monkeys.  It was truly paradise.

A great Airbnb to stay at in Santa Teresa!! Would definitely go back. The view and deck are amazing. The house is in a nice part of town and the beach nearby (beach access by Ani's bowls) is very pretty and a great vibe at sunset. Kitchen is well stocked. Fiona the property manager is very responsive and helpful - she helped us organize transport and ATVs while in town. Also I know several reviews mention this, but it's absolutely essential to have a car or ATV to access this place. The hill is only good for a workout but should not be attempted at midday!!

Thank you so much to Alexander and Fiona for the wonderful space and for being so communicative and helpful!

I wanted to love this house so bad but it just wasn’t as amazing as I thought it would be. Did not expect such an intense driveway. They really aren’t kidding when they say you need a strong 4x4 vehicle. And expect quite the hike to get to the house itself. I could see someone that has issues with balance or difficulty walking not being able to make it to the house. A few other issues were that there was no microwave and that the rugs are super slippery. My niece slipped walking on one of the rugs and everyone else had a few close calls. Some positives were that the beds were comfortable and great wifi! Overall it was okay but I don’t think I would return

Darla was a communicative guest from the start, and she arrived at the house without any issues. Throughout her stay, we maintained constant contact and answered all her questions about the property and the area. However, we never received any inquiries regarding the concerns mentioned in her review. Had she informed us about any issues, such as the carpets, we would have been more than happy to address them immediately. Additionally, our listing clearly states that we do not have a microwave but instead provide an electric oven. We are truly surprised by this review, as we did everything possible to ensure that Darla and her family had a comfortable stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Azul with our family. Fiona was an absolute gem and was great at communicating and helping us arrange activities/providing recommendations. She greatly enhanced the experience. We enjoyed monkey, bird, coatimundi, iguana and squirrel sightings from the deck. Sunsets were stunning as well. As many have noted, the road up is very steep and may present accessibility issues for some. In addition, the pool is located at the bottom of the hill, and we were unable to get down there with our kids (ages 4 and 6) without a vehicle.

Excellent place, very good location, beautiful view. Great house and very good host, Fiona.

Excelente lugar, muy bien ubicado, vista preciosa. Gran casa y muy buena anfitriona, Fiona.

The house was an okay/decent place to stay at. It’s big and has everything you need, including filtered water. However, there were some things that didn’t quite make sense.. - the tv was only in the master bedroom and not living room - no hooks to hang towels to dry - no full length mirror - lots of bugs stuck in bathroom ceilings - no real blankets, just a top sheet - pool is not at the house, but rather at the bottom of the hill (and is a public pool)

Great place, albeit you really need to hire an ATV/car to access up and down the steep hill. It’s quite a walk if you just need to pop out to fetch supplies etc but a superb home and beautiful views and setting as well as Fiona who was super helpful and always responsive.

Beautiful spot from the hills; fantastic spot. Great for a surf trip but the hike to/from Beach is a major haul, especially walking uphill, so recommend getting a mula or rent a 4WD vehicle, you will need it to make the drive up the hill, especially in rainy season. Overall, this is one of the best places we’ve stayed in Santa.

Our family of 6 loved our week stay at Casa Azul so much. The place was stunning,  perfectly stocked and comfortable. The view was to die for;  we will forever cherish the peaceful mornings on the deck enjoying coffee and journaling, dinners on the patio and falling asleep to the sound of waves ar nignt. Fiona is such a wonderful host and the cook we used is a must. She made the most delicious & fresh lunch and dinner. You need an suv or atv to get up the hill bc it's super steep but we walked up once (took 7 mins) and it was great exercise. The gates community is  very close to restaurants etc and is a perfect location to stay. There's a beautiful beach right across the street but we recommend going to Hermosa beach 15 mins away for surfing lessons with the wonderful surf teachers at "Take Away." The Patio restaurant right next to the community has excellent casual and fresh food for bfast and lunch. Thx again. We will be back!

The view is sublime, the villa is beautiful, beautiful location close to the beach and restaurants. Happy to see monkeys, wild turkeys from the terrace. Fiona is a top host, she is 100% available, efficient, smiling, caring. We loved our stay.

La vue est sublime, la villa est magnifique, bel emplacement proche de la plage et des restaurants. Bonheur de voir des singes, des dindons sauvages de la terrasse. Fiona est une hôte au top, elle est disponible à 100%, efficace, souriante, bienveillante. Nous avons adoré notre séjour.

Loved this artsy, bright and comfortable space. Fiona was a great communicator. We really enjoyed being up high with a great view and away from the bustle of town. Monkeys came to visit us every sunrise and sunset. The hill up the the house is very steep and lengthy so walking to town/beach wasn’t really doable even though it is super close. We always found parking below but something to note.

We loved the space, the view is amazing, The interior design and feel of the home was spectacular. The only downfall is the location is far up very steep roads so it’s not accessible to walk easily to the beach to town you must drive with surfboards etc . As well getting luggage and surf boards to the unit is tricky just be aware of the steps etc Now that we know, we would still book again!

A beautiful home and location- would stay again

Spectacular view. Bright, you see the monkeys from your giant  balcony. Everything was impeccable.  You need a powerful car to ride that steep climb. Fiona is a genius in all that helped us. You need if or if car or quad bike to get up to the house. Very well equipped. They cleaned every house every 48 hours and changed sheets, bath towels, bath towels and beach towels

Vista espectacular. Luminosa, ves los monos desde tu gigante  balcón. Todo impecable.  Necesitas un auto potente para montar esa subida tan empinada. Fiona una genia en todo lo que nos ayudó. Necesitas si o si auto o cuatriciclo para subir hasta la casa. Muy bien equipada. Limpiaban toda casa cada 48 hs y cambiaban sabanas, toallas de baño y toallas de playa

Absolutely fabulous stay! The house is extraordinary, just like the photos show. It has incredible light, decor and energy, with a phenomenal view of the ocean and forest. You feel like spending time As we went with children, we always ended up cooking and dining at home, on that inviting porch. Contrary to what I imagined, we were not invaded by insects at the end of the day. A 4x4 is indispensable for access as the house is on the mountain. The access is in excellent condition but the ascent is very steep. The condominium pool is not accessible on foot, especially with young children, but we never miss it, as access to one of the best beaches in the area is right in front of the condominium. Perfect home for family vacations or friends. The host was very helpful and friendly and was always available throughout our stay. We will be back for sure!

Estadia absolutamente fabulosa! A casa é extraordinária, tal e qual como as fotos transparecem. Tem uma luz, decoração e energia incríveis, com uma vista fenomenal de oceano e de floresta. Apetece passar tempo em casa. Como fomos com crianças, acabámos sempre por cozinhar e jantar em casa, naquele alpendre tão convidativo. Ao contrário do que imaginava não fomos invadidos por insectos ao final do dia. É indispensável um 4x4 para o acesso pois a casa fica na montanha. O acesso está em excelentes condições mas a subida é muito acentuada. A piscina do condomínio não é acessível a pé, sobretudo com crianças pequenas mas nunca sentimos falta dela, pois o acesso a uma das melhores praias da zona, fica mesmo em frente ao condomínio. Casa perfeita para férias em família ou com amigos. A anfitriã foi muitíssimo prestável e simpática e esteve sempre disponível ao longo da nossa estadia. Voltaremos certamente!

We had an amazing stay at casa azul and exploring Santa Teresa and the surrounding areas. Fiona the house manager was very responsive answering all questions that we had and gave us great recommendations. It was a great bonus having a cleaning service every few days. The only minor challenge was not having access to the laundry, but next time we know we should pay the extra fee to have access to the laundry room. Thank you for such an amazing family vacation! We will definitely return to Casa Azul!

AMAZING! This listing is exactly what is described and the photos are 100% accurate. This was our first time in Costa Rica and we had lots of questions about the area and activities. The host was responsive and helpful in helping us plan. Prior to check in we were contacted by a wonderful young woman who met us at check in, got us settled and was available for any question we had during our stay. They were willing to have some requested groceries purchased and delivered to the house prior to our arrival so we were able to settle in and get our bearings before going to the store ourselves. I would HIGHLY recommend you have them set up a night (or more!) where a local cook comes to the house and cooks authentic meals for your crew! We did this the first night we were there after a long day of traveling and it was amazing!! The steep incline to the house is no joke! Get an ATV. Not only were they necessary but a super fun way to get around. We loved the entire experience 😎

Alexander and the team at casa azul were incredible. They were very communicative and the space is stunning. Highly recommend.

The most cheerful, comfortable house in a secure community, steps from the beach and fun town. The icing on the cake was the incredible view over the Pacific and jungle and watching the sunset. The house is so clean and chic. My family and I adored it! Just make sure to rent a mule 4X4 to get up the hill with your stuff. Though I loved to walk the hill in the morning for great exercise. Highly recommend!!!

4th time I'm costa Rica first time in Santa Teresa, this place was the cherry on top. We all felt so at home and were extremely grateful to spend a few days here. Host was accommodating and flexible and took care of all of our needs. One of the better spots I've ever stayed at.

Beautiful house and nice views. Easy to get in and out of (if you have a 4x4). The steep hill is kind of steep to get to. But once your home, feels great and you see ocean and animals too. House is well decorated and tasteful. There were a lot of bugs in the upper bedrooms when we arrived but it didn’t meter since we stayed in the bottom floor and it was spotless. Overall we were very happy with the place and will return.

WOW! Casa Azul is a magical place. The monkeys swinging from the trees in the morning, to the openness of the living room area - this house was an amazing experience for us. We all felt safe and absolutely loved every minute of this house. The pictures don't do it justice!

CasaZul was a great house! Very clean and safe! The extra $$ spent on this AIRBNB was well worth it and really made the trip to Santa Teresa spectacular!

This was a great house for our recent vacation with two families. Amazing view and close to the best park waves and shops.

Overall it was a somewhat lovely stay. The view made up for all the bad parts. I was very disappointed at the fact that we got lost on the way there due to false directions. Then when arriving at mar a mar we were not given good Instructions on how to get to the house so we got lost in the neighborhood. I was unhappy at the fact that we were not allowed usage of the bottom floor or the laundry even tho it was stated in the listing post. The master shower didn’t drain. There was also a discrepancy with the maid service, in the ad it says 2 hours a day then I was told only 2 days of the 7 days we were staying there we had maid service. I wouldn’t say I felt like I got my monies worth.

Hello and thank you for your feedback. Regarding the address, it's strange because Mar a Mar and very well informed on google when people don't use the address we sent in order to make your arrival comfortable and stress-free... Then on your arrival the guard informs you and gives you the exact position of your house (with a map) in the residence which has only one main road.  For the ground floor, the listing is however clear that this is an option to add to take advantage of it. On your arrival in the house, the cleaning service was detail you in order to make your stay very comfortable. It was possible to adapt it to best satisfy you.  Thank you and have good day.  Pura vida

it was a great stay, besides the ac not working for 5 nights everything else was amazing. thank you for comping one night of our stay to make up for it.

This house is an amazing residence in the heart of Santa Teresa. We were a group of 10 looking for a break from the Michigan cold and this vacation was exactly that. The hosts are extremely accommodating and responsive throughout the stay, leading us to some of our favorite spots around town. Could not have picked a better home base. The morning coffees with the views from our porch will not be forgotten. Thank you for the hospitality, we can't wait to be back. Pura Vida!

We had the most magnificent holiday! The hill to the villa is steep, but once up there it is fantastic, the seaview and the treetops with birds, monkeys and squirrels - just great! The administration was ever so helpful to our every need. We lived the terrace and the sound of the waves. The location is best of the best. Rent a car or ATVs, you will need them every day!

What an amazing place to stay! I couldn’t recommend it more, an ideal location with fantastic views.

Two words: Casa Azul. The home, located within the luxurious gated community Mar a Mar, is gorgeous. It is even better than the pictures show. The views off all of the decks are stunning. The bedrooms are lovely, private and comfortable. The art and decor is fabulous. We had family staying nearby, and I chose Casa Azul based on its proximity to the house our cousins had rented. The roads to get up to Casa Azul are pretty steep, but it's worth it. This is the most beautiful Air B and B I have ever stayed in. I love the way the entire wall of the great room opens up to the huge deck and becomes one huge indoor/outdoor room. Playa Santa Teresa is a yoga and surf paradise and this place exudes sunny, laid-back beach vibes. The check in with Sofia was wonderful and we didn't need her after that because the house is so well-appointed and self-explanatory, everything was perfect. Thank you Ignacio, Sophia and all the team that created the Casa Azul experience!

Absolutely stunning home, views, amenities, and staff. Loved that the kitchen was very well equipped, was able to make wonderful meals with local produce and enjoy the views. Watched Howler monkeys in the trees next to the balcony almost every day. Grateful that we had Sofia to help with arrangements, guidance, support and any questions we had. She was exceptional and a big part of the reason why the trip went as smoothly as it did. I hope to be back next year.

Fantastic spot. Amazing views of the ocean. Super peaceful & serene all around :)

Definitely worth it. Amazing house with extremely helpful host

Beautiful house with amazing views. We had a great time in Casa Azul.

The house has a spectacular ocean and sunset view.

La casa tiene una vista espectacular al mar y al atardecer.

Incredible property and amazing hospitality.... I would love to stay again soon!

From the first contact Valentine, she gave us an incredible welcome and was super kind in indicating the different spaces that we could enjoy in Santa Teresa, the house was impeccable and super nice, it complied with everything described on the page, thank you very much for everything we hope to return

Desde el primer contacto Valentine, nos dio un recibimiento increible y fue super amable en indicarnos los distintos espacios que podiamos disfrutar en Santa Teresa, la casa impecable y super linda cumplia con todo lo descrito en la pagina, muchas gracias por todo esperamos volver

amazing place, spectacular design, and Valentina was very kind !!!! 10/10

increíble lugar, diseño espectacular, y Valentina fue muy amable !!!! 10/10

Casa Azul is among the top places I’ve had the chance to stay at. The house is beautiful, the view surreal and the daily cleaning service means you come back from the day at the beach to a spotless house every day. Agustina and Valentine are great hosts, attentive and we’re able to answer all questions that arose. Thanks!

Incredible views, amazing design, loved it. WiFi not great.

We had an amazing stay at Casazul. Valentine was very friendly and always answered my requests promptly. Went the extra mile helping me with the letter for the travel restrictions imposed by the Costa Rican government on number plates. As mentioned the entrance was steep as expected but this was not a problem. Make sure you bring a car you are comfortable bringing up and down the hill for more confort. Common pool was really nice, the location is excellent and the place very safe. The house is spacious with awesome views of the ocean and big common areas. Would reccomend.

The house greatly exceeded our expectations. The neighborhood is a luxury, as is its location. Valentine is a woman who is very attentive to our needs and recommends great places. The cleaning service was spotless too. I highly recommend staying here.

La casa superó ampliamente nuestras expectativas. El barrio es un lujo, al igual que su ubicacion. Valentine es una mujer muy atenta a las necesidades y recomienda grandes lugares. El servicio de limpieza fue impecable tambien. Recomiendo plenamente la estadia aqui.

We loved the house! The sound of the animals in the morning is just amazing! We hope be back soon!

I just wanna say thank you for everything! All support, the place, attention!!! You’re amazing!!! Highly recommended!!! Valentina and Ignacio did everything to make our stay fantastic. We went in 9 guys to surf for 10 days! Was absolutely incredible, definitely the best place to stay, in front of the best surf spot and you can wake up and check the waves from the house. For sure we’ll come back!! So blessed for all this time on Ignacio’s house!

Thank you Hudson for your kind words! It was a pleasure to host you and your friends! We were a bit worried for having 9 guys in the house, but it turned out that everything was absolutely perfect! You are a group of very respectful guys and would highly recommend you to any other host! When you would like to come back, you are all more than welcome :) Un saludo y un abraso a todos!  Valentine

Gorgeous home. Thoughtful and responsive host. Beautiful city. You couldn't ask for anything more!

Very nice house. Very nice decor. Simple but thoughtful, but thoughtful. It's a delicious place to be. It is essential to have a car or motorcycle from the first day . Since it has a very hard climb. That it is not worth doing on foot. We really enjoyed our vacation there. And we missed the place. Looking forward to it again. Valentine, our host, a love, always ready to help and communicate what you need. Nice to meet the cleaning girl. Thank you.

Muy linda casa. Decorada muy linda. Sencilla pero de cuidados detalles. Es un lugar delicioso para estar. Es requisito indispensable tener auto o moto desde el primer día . Ya que tiene una subida muy dura. Que no vale la pena hacerla a pie. Disfrutamos mucho nuestras vacaciones ahí. Y ya extrañamos el lugar. Con ganas de repetirlo. Valentine nuestra anfitriona un amor siempre dispuesta a ayudar y comunicar lo que necesites. Un agrado la chica de la limpieza Gracias.!

A beautiful house with stunning views captures the beauty of the surrounding area. Bedrooms were spacious and clean. The living area, with its panoramic ocean views, was an absolute dream. In a central location between busier parts Santa Teresa and the more removed Playa Hermosa. Incredible help from Valentine and team coordinating excursions and making recommendations of things to do. We will be back!

This place is perfectly situated looking down onto the surf. The open design is wonderful and it felt like we were living in the trees. It is so beautiful and we couldn't have imagined a better setting to watch the sunset. It is even better than the pictures. The sound of the ocean was always present. Valentine was an excellent host and helped us get oriented from the first day. The pool is beautifully designed and well located for a swim after the beach. The hill up to the house is big and steep, so be ready. You can walk this, but it's a workout. Valentine wisely suggested we rent a car or ATV and I'm glad we did. If you are lucky enough to book this place, you will have a wonderful experience. Ignore that negative review..who cares about the television when you have those ocean breezes and that view! The house is on two levels, with stairs, but as long as you can make it up the hill then its definitely suitable for kids and older folks.

The finishes of this house are unbeatable, the view too, the place is very beautiful, comfortable rooms, everything is new, 100% recommended. The only bad thing is the implination of the climb to arrive and something uncomfortable to enter and leave the house, to the beach you must go by car. But we spent an amazing few days, we will return to this house without a doubt.

Los acabados de esta casa son inmejorables, la vista también, el lugar muy bello, cuartos cómodos, todo está nuevo, recomendado 100%. Lo único malo es lo implinado de la subida para llegar y algo incómodo para ingresar y salir de la casa, a la playa debes ir en carro. Pero pasamos unos días increibles, volveremos a esta casa sin lugar a duda.

My stay was absolutely incredible. I was really nervous because, eventhough the pictures showed a beautiful house, the last review was very negative. However, it was far from the truth. The view is spectacular and the location is great. You can enjoy the perfect balance from both beach and jungle. Since the house is located in a gated community, it felt really safe. The house is comfortable, with open spaces, comfy beds, sparkly clean bathrooms and a nice kitchen with new appliances. Overall it was a great vacation!!!!! Thank you Valentine from Agua de Mar for  your sweet hospitality!!!!

a few serious problems- first there was not a TV though description said there was. second the place is not suitable for children nor older adults as it is a very steep entrance without any steps. third they have construction going all day in the project

Hello Michael, thank you for your review.  You are right regarding the TV, and we apologize sincerely. As I told to you girlfriend Andrea, unfortunately the previous television had just broken down, and we had a new one ready to install on premises to be installed the next day. Regarding the entrance, I agree that our house is not the best option for an elderly person with walking problems . It is however suitable for children. In your party the youngest child was at least 12 years old and the house is apt for that age group.  As I told to Andrea, we tried several times to contact you, without receiving an answer (you can check your Airbnb chat). We wrote to you at the moment of the booking, three days before the check-in, and called you the day before. Our primary objective is to keep the client happy, and ensure that our house meets the wishes of our guests. For this reason, it is very important for us, and most house owners in general, to establish a dialogue with our guests to ensure that our property fills the requirements expected. Direct booking with no additional contact is not the best way to make a reservation, especially when there is an elder person that needs special attention. We tried our best to help Andrea’s family in finding them another accommodation (it was quite difficult for a party of 7 during a national holyday). We also ordered an immediate refund to you regardless of our strict cancellation policy. I firmly believe that with adequate communication we would not have experienced any of these problems. Please accept our most sincere apologies and we recommend that in the future you communicate with the home owners, especially if your party has special needs. Saying that, we hope you enjoyed Santa Teresa!

MarAmar is by far the best place to stay and Casazul the best house to enjoy the nature and the ocean views. About the host: Super proffesional. If I ever start a hospitality business I would definitely hire her. Since the day we booked the house the guest service was amazing. Everything we needed has been taken care of. It made us really enjoy our vacation. Highly recommended. No doubt we’ll come back!!
