The Pubelo Real was just what we wanted. The staff, Michael, Henry and George, were wonderful ambassadors for their beloved country of Costa Rica. Literally, my husband spent hours in the lobby sharing ideas with these young men who were so willing to assist us with any need...the 9 o'clock ice cream stop was a treat. Yes, the hotel is a bit out of town; but, it did not stop us from seeing most of the sights. The two bedroom condo was well stocked, good beds, and very comfortable. Take shampoo, the hotel does not provide any such products. Never saw housekeeping , but our unit was freshened up each day. Do take advantage of the orientation meeting and the 11:00 AM trip to the stores in Quepos. The Supermarket carries everything that you would need. Prices are close to our US cost. Watch the banks for exchange rates. They do vary with the airport being the lowest. We took the Damas Estuary Boat Trip, Manual Antonio National Park Guided Tour and the Sunset Catamaran Tour. The pool is great and the swim-up bar even better. The young lady who does "happy Hour" makes a mean Bon Ami and Pina Colada. She also paints t-shirts and canvas bags.
We enjoyed over seven meals at the Cayuga Restuarant and the on-site breakfast restaurant. Owners, Anna and Ricardo are a treat. Do indulge in the Mahi, Mahi dinner, Garlic Shrimp and the fish sandwich. The Gaucamole is to die for...really. Husband really liked her hamburgers and omeletts. Dare you to get the "Monster Burger."Quality and price is the best. Remember that restaurants add 10% upfront for service. At the El Avion in Manual Antonio we paid 23% tax and tip for so so food.
Yes, we have no negative comments. We used Anywhere Costa Rica to book our tours, other hotel and flights and they are five-star....Katia Quiros was most professional and prompt. each tour was on time and delivered all their promises. We spent our first night in San Jose at the Hotel La Rosas of America.
All in all, we will soon plan another trip to Costa Rica. There is just so much more that I could share...it was that wonderful.
