Yaku Wayra Charter

location and something different

Great location and well equipped

Such a peaceful relaxing holiday. Top deck seats for morning sun then back deck seats for afternoon and evening. The lower seats were much better than the photos, so comfortable. We used the toilet/shower blocks a lot to save on the tanks, they were excellent and clean reminding us of caravan holidays when we were little, part of the fun. We had free use of the lido with its big pool and lovely sun beds. There are so many nice restaurants and bars close by and the Rubicon Marina area is so classy. Thank you Laura for the lovely welcome pack of chocolates and fruit and showing us how everything worked.

We chose this as something a little different - to stay on a boat in the marina, rather than a big hotel chain or resort. It was a lovely trip and certainly different. One has to remember one is staying on a boat so it is cosy and there are sounds from neighbouring boats but you get used to that in the main. Laura, who we were in communication with in the days before our trip was so helpful, friendly and lovely. We then met us at the boat to check us in and she explained how everything works for us. There is a loo and shower on board but as you’d expect it’s quite small, and the shower blocks are so clean and well appointed, we used those instead. We enjoyed some nice meals onboard, prepared in the small kitchen which had absolutely everything you might need. Being on the marina, there are loads of restaurants there too and a bar at Oasis with live music most nights. Classy and elegant rather than noisy raves, so none of the marina activities impinged on rest at the boat. Lots of walks from the marina, we walked to Playa Blanca a few times and to the beaches at Papagayo too. There is a pool at the Oasis restaurant with comfortable loungers which is available for those staying in the marina. Unfortunately for me, the pool isn’t heated and was a tad cold. Overall a wonderful trip. A big thank you to our hosts!

Lovely boat in a beautiful location. A short walk to the many restaurants and shops of Marina Rubicon. Great sitting out on aft deck for a few wines after dinner.
