My wife & I rented the #402 on the last 4 days of our "on the road" trip to Costa Rica. The place was very nice, close to fruit stands, grocery store, restaurant and many different beaches (we had a rental SUV). The owner, Igor, was on location during our stay and made sure we had everything required to make our stay enjoyable. The neighbors were both quiet and friendly; we met with some of them at one of the two very nice pools we were using. ##### Claude D. Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Michael C. 14 Jan 2019 #### Terrible Could not sleep because the room was so hot. Air conditioning was an extra charge and after requesting it, it did not work. They sent a technician on the second day who said it was fixed. Still did not work and again could not sleep because of heat. Yeh refrigerator did not work and the ice maker did not work. No hot water in the kitchen sink. Only the cold water side had water. Taking a shower was like being in a sauna The pictures it was advertised with must have been taken the day it was built. Left on the 3rd day of a 7 day rental and went rent a motel room. Refused any type of refund. Villa Casa Lomas will never get anymore business from me and if VBRO supports rentals like this, I may not ever used them again. Spent $300 on food which was one of the reasons for renting something with a kitchen and never cooked the first thing because it was so hot. Turned out costing me twice what I should have spent because of additional motel and eating in restaurants. The worst experience I have ever had ##### Michael C. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2018 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marc B. 8 Jul 2018 #### Paradise found at Villa Casa Loma / Playa Flamingo After the month of Feb in Nosara, CR, we had kept 3 last days to visit another community closer to Liberia for the icing on our cake at the end of our trip. We tripped over Villa Casa Loma on VRBO and stayed 3 nights. Villa Casa Loma is just outside Playa Flamingo, and is a most unique stone structure of 5 buildings built on a hill overlooking Playa Flamingo. The Villas are beautiful...ours was a spacious 1 BR apartment in Villa 4\. It was so peaceful and tranquil...steps below was an immense swimming pool near Villa 5 with another pool above at Level 2\. We were greeted by Tom...who showed us around the property, and helped by Emilio with our collection of bags. (After all we were travelling a month). Tom was an awesome host, encouraging us to explore the property (I call castle). The 3 local staff (Nicaragüenses) I met over the next 3 days...Emilio, Willy and Byron were friendly staff who allowed me to practice my bad Spanish. Gracias amigos por tu pacience! I also loved learning about your home country as well. Interaction with other guests was an option, as there were many other friendly visitors, with a perfect balance of privacy too. There were a couple of local watering holes and cafes within walking distance, but a golf cart rental would be ideal to help get you around. We did meet a local through a bar server, who was a text message away to help transport us anywhere we needed. Don’t be shy as Costa Ricans want to help. Hey Adventure at its best! Can’t wait to return. I literally was in tears when I left! Sappy I know. Please do yourself a favor and visit this gem! Thank you Tom & Igor! So glad we found you! ##### Marc B. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keith B. 2 Oct 2017 #### Rustic but Comfy !!!! My friend and I spent 2 wonderful weeks with birds, animals and lush vegetation. The venue was Villas Casa Loma. Our "rustic" stone apartment was set into a hillside among a variety of trees and palms looking over a lovely valley with hills in the background. To say "lovely setting" is an understatement! Thank you, Tom and Igor, for your help in finding us really interesting things to see and do. Your restaurant suggestions were terrific and the day trips and tours you suggested were inspired! Close to the nearest beaches, shops, restaurants and supermarkets, too. We really enjoyed the opportunity to meet so many interesting people from all over the world who were also staying at the Villas during our visit. Two magical swimming pools were a real bonus for us. The peace and quiet there was wonderful. Plenty to see and do without straining the budget. We hired a small 4 X4 and were happy we did, as we did a lot of exploring on our own. The facilities at Villas Casa Loma are amazing! (Our own apartment was what the owners described as "rustic" - constructed almost totally of stones - both inside and out - giving it an almost Mediterranean look and feel!) We are planning our next visit to Costa Rica and hope that Suite 402 will be available for us again. ##### Keith B. ---
