Caretaker - We have a caretaker, Freiman who lives on the property. He is a wonderfully talented and very accommodating young man. Everyone who comes to Casa Punta Banco loves him. He is great with children and can accompany you through the forest or to the orchards. Noel can arrange for horses for you to ride on the beach or through the rainforests. Watch our caretaker climb the coconut trees to get  coconuts and pipas (the drink of the coconut) for you.

Another memorable vacation at Casa Punta Banco
[2 May 2008 | 1553 views]

My family and I had a great time in your home Casa Punta Banco.  You did not exaggerate when you told me, this was one of the most beautiful places in the world.   We really loved your home, the trails, waterfalls, and beach. Everyday was a beautiful adventure. When we arrived the floral arrangements were probably some of the finest I have ever seen. On your property we visited w/ the monkeys, both white faces and squirrel, and heard the howlers. We saw the macaws everyday, and the toucans occasionally; the last day six toucans said goodbye to us. We especially enjoyed the second floor porch view; on 3 maybe 4 days we watched the whales diving.  We found the poison frogs, butterflies, and moths. Flora was great; she prepared amazing diners every night for us. She cleaned and also did some wash for us.  Each day when she arrived, Flora walked thru the orchard, and brought fruit/spices, etc. to enhance our diners. The diners were truly restaurant quality. One day we hiked to the top of the property, really quite a challenge.  Both villages, Pavones and Punta Banco, the people were great and we did almost every activity offered: from surfing to fishing. One night, one of the local Ticos even called upon us at 8:00 PM  to join them in the release of the sea turtles.  I will refer people to you to rent your home. Thank you for a great time,  Norman Roth
