Costa Rica, Tamarindo @ Casa Pipilacha 4 of 4

We made advance arrangements for a private chef to come to the house and make a few meals for us during our stay (one breakfast, one lunch and one dinner spread out every other day or so).  It was probably the best part of our trip and if we ever go back, we'll be having this treat on a daily basis!  The food was a hundred times better than the few restaurants we tried in town.  Plus, it was just perfect being able to experience 5 star dining in the comforts of "home".  I'd highly recommend Private Chef Jay of Tamarindo!
