The views were absolutely breathtaking where ever you looked! Whether relaxing by the pool or the beautiful beach we had amazing time. The staff was wonderful; David and Christine answered our every question. The food was so fresh! I highly recommend the salsa and guacamole. Recreo is remote; you will have to be self-sufficient as far as entertainment is concerned.... More

We stayed at Recreo's 5 bedroom villa known as "Diecinueve" and the setting was perfect! The bedrooms are quite private and so it's best for couples and/or young adults. There is one bedroom in the main house and the other 4 are identical and steps down from the pool. They offer toiletteries to get you started and I have to... More

My husband and I both got the best nights rest of our lives. The setting is completely beautiful but quite remote. The staff recommends to stop and purchase food at the Jumbo market. This is a good idea. Even though you might be tired, the tiendas/stores are few and far between and have limited supply. I would recommend this place... More

Besides the amazing staff and chef, this was the most relaxing vacation I have ever had. The best part was not having to deal with a bunch of tourists, it was like living as a native for 9 days. We had our own pool, washer/dryer, maid service, private chef and our own golf cart to go the beach whenever we... More

We just got back from a week at Recreo. 8 girls for a "chill-out" trip for my sister's 40th birthday. We were greeted at the airport and taken to Recreo which is about an hour and a half from the airport - a cool drive if it's your first time in CR. Once we got to the welcome center, we... More

Recreo is in a very remote part of Guanacaste. If you arrive into Liberia it does take 1.5hr to get to the resort and a good portion of the trip is on a very bumpy gravel road. The food is simple but not high end. The chef we had was wonderful and did her best with what is provided to... More

You have to know what type of vacation you are looking for before you book your stay at Recreo. If you are looking for a place steps from the beach, or walking distance to a town, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a US-style house in a beautiful area of Costa Rica within driving... More
