 A
rental at Villa La Macha includes the services of our two full-time
staff, Jota (pronounced 'hota') Cespedes and Cecilia Rojas. Both are
extremely kind and helpful and both are lifelong Quepos residents.
Jota speaks reasonably good English and will take care of any needs you have. He keeps the house and garden in perfect condition and will shop for you, show you around, and arrange tours. Cecilia will clean your rooms, do your laundry, change your sheets, and cook delicious meals for you. They both are exceptional people and will help make your vacation a memorable experience, as you can gather from some typical guest comments below. Extra staff is provided for larger groups of guests. Childcare, massage, private language classes, private tours and other services and activities can be arranged at reasonable prices by Jota. GUEST COMMENTS ABOUT OUR STAFF "Cecilia and Jota were excellent. Any request
we had they met with a smile and in no time at all it was granted." "We extend the deepest appreciation for Jota
and Cecilia. I cannot fully explain how valuable they were to us
and Villa La Macha as a whole. Jota and Cecilia deserve great recognition
for the relentless labors and undying desire to please us while
we resided there. There was never a moment of doubt about their
abilities and we embraced them whole-heartedly for their persona
and efforts. We are forever appreciative of their efforts, as it
freed us to more fully enjoy our time of leisure and the pursuit
of pleasure." "We adored Cecelia and Jota. You are so lucky
to have them. Cecelia does the work of 3 people; I don't know how
she does it. They both obviously love your children (Ceci brought
the picture of your kids and we put it on the fridge). They were
so good with and to Billy and he kept asking for them after we left." "You have found two of the nicest, most caring,
and fun employees to run your home and help your guests. Jota could
not have been more fun! My brother and I became very good friends
with him during the week. He was so attentive to all of our needs.
I think he was worried about my mother and me when my brother and
father left us to go fishing. He made sure we had something fun
to do the whole time they were gone. It was so funny! Cecilia is
wonderful as well. She cooks the best food. I have never seen so
many leftovers, though. We felt horrible about leaving so much food
in the refrigerator. She became my Spanish tutor for the week. I
think my Spanish improved about 75% because of her sitting with
me each morning over coffee. My brother and I both got invitations
from Cecilia and Jota to return to Quepos and stay with their families
so that we could attend school. Those two were one of the main highlights
of our trip, although I think the monkeys were number one in my
mother's book!!" "Excellent!!!!! Both Jota and Cecelia were
extremely nice and helpful. We loved the meals that Cecelia prepared
for us. Can’t say enough about how helpful and kind they were
– you are very lucky to have them working for you." "Cecelia and Jota were so accommodating - they
took really good care of us and we were very pampered. Cecelia
is such a great cook, and even with our limited Spanish we were
able to communicate very well -once in awhile Jota would need to
help us out." "What really made our stay a treat was Jota
and Cecelia. You are lucky to have two employees as great as they
are! Jota was always happy to help us with any of our needs and
always kept us laughing with his great sense of humor. Jota went
out of his way to make sure that we were comfortable and that all
details of our stay were taken care of for us. Cecelia worked hard
to make sure that we felt right at home. The house was spotless
and our clothes were washed everyday. We woke up every morning to
freshly squeezed orange juice, fresh fruit smoothies, and great
coffee. Cecelia's cooking was the best I have had in all of Costa
Rica. Thanks to Cecelia, I now know how to make Empanadas and dance
to Cumbia." "I wanted let you know what a great
job Cecilia and Jota did while we were there. They are very dedicated
employees, and helped us with anything that we needed during our
stay. I think my husband is ready to divorce me and marry Cecilia
for her cooking."
