The property was great. Rooms are very spacious and modern style. Great location and able to walk to black sand beach and the main beach. For being on the marina I did not experience any noise. It was great and I will stay again.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (48 reviews)
Our family of five stayed (kids ages 14,17,21) for five nights. It was an incredible villa for our stay in Tamarindo. The hosts were easy to communicate with through Expedia and WhatsApp. We rented a golf cart for one day, which was very easy to do. The Langosta Beach Club was fantastic and we went almost every day. If you see Kevin on the beach, he’s your guy for tours. We did an atv tour and a kayak tour. Masa Madre had delicious breakfast and Little Lucha had a great menu as well. There is also a market not far from the villa. Just a note, if you have mobility issues or young children, the walk into town may be more difficult for you. It was fine for us with our big kids. We would highly recommend this place!

9.4/10 Exceptional! (24 reviews)
Our stay at Nekajui, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, was truly exceptional. The resort is spectacular, with breathtaking views, beautifully designed facilities and an incredible sense of privacy and tranquillity.
The facilities are outstanding. The **gym is amazing**, while the **spa and hydrotherapy pools are truly sensational** — perfect for relaxing and recharging.
What really sets Nekajui apart, however, is its people. The staff were passionate, professional, warm and exceptionally courteous. Pablo, Samuel and the wider team went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and genuinely cared for. Their attention to detail and pride in what they do made our stay particularly memorable.
The restaurants were very good, with food consistently prepared to a high standard. As a new resort on the peninsula, there is still some opportunity to further develop the dining offering, and many residents understandably choose to explore some of the more established eateries nearby. That said, when dining at the resort, the quality of the food is excellent, and with a little further refinement, the restaurants have the potential to be truly exceptional.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are immensely grateful to the entire Nekajui team for their incredible hospitality. The combination of the setting, facilities and, most importantly, the people makes Nekajui a very special place.
We would happily return and highly recommend Nekajui.
