The house indeed has absolutely incredible ocean views - the photos don't show the expanse of ocean in front of you. It also has everything, often two or three of them, needed to cook, grill, watch any tv channel across the globe, sunbathe, etc. There is a large kitchen, dining area, and living room, and all of the amenities are in tip top shape. It was just right for our two families of eight (total) people. Cleaning and laundry is done daily, thoroughly and unobtrusively by Rosie. We used chef Glenda and her sous chef son one night for a truly memorable meal from start to finish. Definitely recommend, far better than a night out at a restaurant and a wide range of menu options.Beach is a short walk down the hill and goes on for miles of beautiful sand, mild surf, and lots of areas to have a drink or rent surfboards. There are casual restaurants and shops a short walk up the hill and there are several food delivery services.The concierge, Alex, was terrific. He arranged excellent tours (ATV, ziplining, boats, surfing lessons, nature walks) dinner reservations, and airport shuttles and local transportation (far easier and cheaper than renting our own vehicles). Even the most trivial issue (a loose screw in the handle of a sliding door) was fixed within an hour. We went during an off season, so Alex will be an even more valuable resource to make arrangements ahead of time during a busier time of the year.We enjoyed Casa Cristal completely.
