My husband and I and another couple all loved our 3 weeks at this amazing property! We watched green parakeets in pairs or flocks am as they head down the valley and later when they returned in the afternoon. The howler monkeys were awesome to see and hear. My favorite time outside was before sunrise to see and hear the valley waking up. We enjoyed every restaurant that we ate at, and we loved cooking there too. The farmers market on Saturday in town was great. We brought a gallon of fresh squeezed orange juice home that was perfect. We ate a Costa Rican typical breakfast at the farmers market that was outstanding. We searched many grocery stores for coffee creamer and found it at Super China in Samara. We went to both playa Samara and playa Carrillo beach. We rented 5 chairs and a tent at Samara for 40 for the entire day. Josue, Jonathan and the entire team were very helpful and a just a delight. We ordered delicious fresh fruits, vegetables and an artisan bread delivered online from the Retreat site.We would definitely recommend this beautiful place and would love to return someday. We loved everything, the river walk, the nightly sunsets on the hill, The pool, and our hike across the street
