“Sublime!”

When travelling, it is rare - even in the greatest hotel chains where cookie-cutter rooms and, and robotic service prevail - to be surprised. Such was our surprise at the low profile and fabulous photographs of Agua Barú, that we thought this booking might even be a scam. But, oh my gosh it’s not, and prepare to find yourself in sublime heaven. We stayed in Casita 3: a stand-alone house, a hop skip and a jump away from the waterfront, surrounded by gardens of lush greenery with multiple seating/relaxing places, and its own jewel-like swimming pool. All this, in itself, is heaven. But the glorious bedroom with vaulted ceiling, and GORGEOUS decor (a very talented Swiss lady, I am told, decked it out) is where you will be cocooned in blissful comfort and utter contentment. A large terrace extends from the bedroom (more delectable lounging spots) with a view across the bay which will knock your socks off. Every imaginable thing you might need has been considered. The bed is probably the most comfortable I have ever slept in: the sheets, pillows, bath towels and robes - all of the highest quality - were perfection. Am I exaggerating, you might ask? No, seriously, this place is divine. And best of all, you have the discrete, but ever present service of your personal ‘butler’? In our case the constantly smiling and attentive Itati who would organise deliveries of delicious food from the on-site restaurant, prep a kayak for a scoot around the bay, and send in the troops to catch a scary spider. Itati, you are an angel! If Casita 3 was not perfect enough, nearby, it has a ‘big sister’ house with three bedrooms and dreamy communal entertaining spaces, and a huge infinity pool overlooking that stunning view I mentioned, where I hope to return with my family. Yes, this is definitely worth the journey to get to, and the memories I take away with me are of dreamy, joyful elation. I can hardly wait to return.
