Would definitely stay again. This is an absolutely beautiful home. The beach was lovely. We swam in the ocean every day. The home owners made the stay as easy as could be. They provided lists of nearby activities, put us in contact with drivers, car rentals, anything we needed. We booked a fishing excursion through Cesar in the office. It was so easy and the boat picked us up right on the beach! The home is equipped with everything you need. Water floaties, containers for your left overs, soaps and shampoos, etc. I could go on. You simply can't go wrong renting this villa! ##### Amy M.

The location of the villa is perfect. It is beachfront and right next door to the pool/restaurant. We loved the accessibility. It is very secluded; we pretty much had the entire beach to ourselves. The villa itself is nice and well equipped. We cooked meals and found everything we needed. We did use the grocery service, and the fridge was well stocked upon our arrival. We utilized the washer/dryer. Each person got one bath towel, so plan on doing laundry. It would’ve been nice to have more towels available. There were plenty of beach towels so that was a nice bonus. I would also suggest extra blankets for the ones that get a little cold during the evenings. Also, watch your toes; crabs tend to sneak in! We took advantage of the games/cards and had family game nights. Getting to the villa is a little tricky; lots of bumpy and windy roads, but we got to/from without issues once we got our directions down. Be sure to visit Father Rooster’s, it has good food and atmosphere. Also, Fabra is amazing. Communication was easy, and Alvin checked in to make sure we were doing well. There was also a nice welcome gift. Overall, this villa is a great space and I would stay here again. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4ef3e2a2-50a8-4df1-b601-b1d39f60f934-1748653866342.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d7580ee5-cd56-47d0-bd38-23dfc13b4f87-1748653864482.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from the balcony](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4a614d7c-9711-4f7a-b0f2-b106ee2c8cca-1748653867933.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sarah E.

When I read the reviews on this place, I kind of thought it was too good to be true. When people have said the photos don’t do it justice, don’t get me wrong, the photos are beautiful, but they really don’t. This place was absolutely amazing. We have stayed other places and there are always some kind of issue. This place was 100% clean, gorgeous, and the views were absolutely beautiful!Our villa was literally right next to the resort restaurant and pool, which was a huge convenience. Also walking down the steps to the beach, took about 10 seconds. Every morning we would go sit out on the large patio overlooking the ocean and beautiful landscaping. We would hear, howler monkeys, birds, and had large iguanas visit us every day.Moving on to the owner Alvin was fantastic! We were given very informative details when we booked. Anytime during my trip I would text the owner. He responded to me within five minutes. As everyone else has said in their reviews as well, Caesar, the resort concierge was efficient and so nice. We were completely taken care of.We will definitely be coming back and staying there again. The only thing I hate about leaving this review is I’m afraid people are going to be booking it and I won’t be able to get in it again. Lol. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1378e44e-c362-46c2-a85d-0a13036eb1d4-1749138965231.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/56d859b6-4854-48a8-ac99-e8135a09f448-1749138963108.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/580ea318-fc62-4432-87ac-53ba668f15db-1749138962405.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e140d82b-0de1-406b-b8ca-17e24bbcff94-1749138961789.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Christine V.

The owner sent wonderful comprehensive instructions to facilitate our arrival into the country and the home. The home had everything we needed and so much more. We cooked several meals at home and the kitchen was amply stocked. The living room, kitchen, and dining area had a wonderful open floor plan allowing us to enjoy time together with family and had wonderful touches for the Christmas season. The bed rooms were spacious and had wonderful air conditioning. The bathrooms had bath gel, hand soap, shampoo and conditioner and plenty of towels, including beach towels. The whole staff was incredible but a special thanks to our bartender, Kevin. Special shout out to our two favorites restaurants: 1) Soluna/ AOI sushi at the resort - spectacular drinks (especially recommend the red tide and the spicy green margarita) and food (especially enjoyed the sushi, and traditional Costa Rican dishes), 2) Sugoi Asian Mexican restaurant - solid across the board. We took several days trips, including Rincón de la Vieja national park, boat trip to Witches rock/ Santa Rosa national park, Diamonte eco adventure park, and multiple beaches (tamarindo, grande, coco, flamingo, hermosa were just some of the high points). We could have easily spent the week just enjoying the pool/ activities at the resort. The black sand beach at the resort was definitely one of our favorites. Thank you again for again for sharing your beautiful home!! ##### ashley b.

Our family of 5 stayed here for 8 days in June. Before booking, I had looked at so many different places but I'm SO incredibly glad we booked this one. The setting is truly the prettiest beach we visited and we went all over Northwest Costa Rica on our trip. The view from the deck is breathtaking, and the space was perfect for our family of five. The pictures of the condo don't do it justice - it is just gorgeous inside and out. We had coffee on the deck each morning, had a clear view down to the beach where our kids swam daily, and fell asleep each night to the sounds of the ocean. We visited during the off-season, so the beach and pool steps away felt private for us. We had several meals at the restaurant next door and every single dish was delicious. Eating there can get a little costly for a family of five, so we were so happy to have the full kitchen in the villa stocked with everything we needed to make our own meals. Al was so helpful with his communication before and during our stay. He helped me set up airport transportation and connected me with Marbely in the restaurant to set up a special dinner for my husband for Father's Day. He answered all my questions quickly. He also helped us get a rental car delivered to the villa, which I'm glad we did on this first trip to better see the area (although Cesar will help set up excursions that pick you up right outside the condo.) This is just a perfect gem of a place for your Costa Rican vacation. ##### Lindsey S.

We loved the location right on the beach - our kids (5,7 and 9) were able to run down in the mornings and play - my husband and I could watch from the deck. The home was clean and comfortable.

It has the most beautiful views of the ocean, and the beautiful and quiet black sand beach. The Villa is beside the lovely and clean pool, and the restaurant, yet still very private. The home is appointed with everything you could need, and we enjoyed preparing some of our own meals, while also having the convenience of the on-site restaurant, and many more great restaurants a short drive away. The owners, and Al in particular who we communicated with, were wonderful and quick to respond to any questions leading up to our stay, and helpful in arranging rental vehicles and provided a lot of information and suggestions for what to see and do in the area. Overall incredible, and we are already thinking about a return visit! ##### Jessica B. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2019 ---
