Our group of ten family members ranged from a 79 year old grandfather to a granddaughter celebrating her 5th birthday! We could not have had a more incredible stay. Villa Tortuga is beautiful with multiple decks, phenomenal views, privacy if you want it, but many gathering spots and plenty of room for everyone. The children LOVED the pool to start the day or after the day at the beach or a tour of the rainforest. We did lease the extra room, and the treehouse behind it was an unexpected treat. The true highlight of the property is the staff - Chef Ricardo and his wife, Alba, are a dream and the food was absolutely delicious and so beautifully presented. Chef prepared special meals for the children that they loved, and they enjoyed some of their parents' food as well! Every meal was a true delight, and Chef made a stunning birthday cake for the child celebrating her birthday as well as giving her an adorable gift. Esolda, the housekeeper, was delightful and Jessica, the concierge, was always responsive and very helpful. Even Jackie, the owner, chimed in to provide very helpful tips on several things prior to our arrival. We arranged for on-site massages that were wonderful, and our guide for the rainforest tour, arranged by Jessica, was very attentive, incredibly engaging with the four children (ages 5 & 7) and ensured that we all had a fabulous time and saw very unique wildlife. Also, be sure to take advantage of the beach rentals from Tony. He is unbelievably nice and took incredible care of our large group, including running across the street to buy some beach toys for the children to use. He also taught all four children to surf and was so patient. They all were able to get up on the board their very first attempt! This was a trip that we will remember forever, and we are all discussing wanting to return to Villa Tortuga again as a family and with friends. We cannot recommend this rental more highly. We are having withdrawal and are missing Chef Ricardo and Alba!
