The property was super clean and as advertised, Hilda was amazing. We were a little disappointed we didn’t know how big the community was. Tamarindo was a 30 min drive which is basically the closest town, grocery store, and restaurants. You have to drive for about 5 minutes on an unpaved gravel road with a ton of potholes to get to the community and there are speed bumps everywhere to regulate speed. The club was super nice and a lifesaver due to the drive anywhere else. Great trip altogether. ##### Andrew A.

The home was beautiful, the grounds were well kept and the howler monkeys were kind enough to let us sleep in until 5am (haha). It was absolutely amazing to be so close to them and the kids loved it. Thank you Hilda for preparing us breakfast and for keeping us neat and tidy all week. This was our third trip to Costa Rica and by far our best. Thank you to Joel, David and the team for being there when we needed you. Pura Vida! Brian ##### Brian C. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### molly c. 23 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Villa Nalu Eight of us, ages 8-74, arrived around noon, which was earlier than the check in time. The hostess was there to greet us, and the cleaners were just finishing up and they let us store our bags and change so we could go off to the beach. The place is just so, welcoming, tropical and very private. It’s very comfortably furnished with an ample kitchen, which is what we needed as we wanted to cook a lot of our dinners. It’s a 5 Bedroom Pl., but we only needed four of the bedrooms. The pool is perfect temperature and is clean daily. There is a six seated golf cart available which we used all the time to get to and from the beach and to and from the Marriott or the beach club for the gym, the pool, the beach, and the snack bar. We did rent two cars which we needed for our various activities…It is a little bit far from Tamarindo , but once we made the trip once or twice, we felt comfortable navigating it and getting into Tamarindo for different activities. We would definitely come back here again. Jose, Mergie and Tati were so helpful before we came and I am sure if we had needed them they would have been right there. Hilda our daily helper was kind and let us practice our Spanish with her. ##### molly c.

This was honestly the very best vacation we have ever been on! Villa Nalu and its staff were all amazing! The house itself is beyond words! We loved Costa Rica: the food, the drinks, the lifestyle, the people, the beaches! We fell in love with every aspect of the "Pura Vida" life! We have already re-booked Villa Nalu for next year and will definitely make this one of our annual family trips. Joel Martino, Mergie, and Hilda were all great hosts and communication was excellent! Places we visited and highly recommend: 1\. Kon Tiki--best pizza and drinks 2\. Corazon--Best breakfast/brunch/lunch and smoothies 3\. Il Rustico- Great Italian Dinner and drinks 4\. Zaguete- Dinner and amazing Smash Burgers 5\. Lola's- Lunch and drinks on Playa Avellanas Best beaches were: 1\. Playa Avellanas. You can eat lunch, order drinks, and rent lounge chairs/umbrellas at Lola's. Surfing was great here and lessons available. 2\. Playa Langosta- Beautiful sunsets and seashells. Take chairs. 3\. Playa Avellanas at the Beach Club. Can rest in th epool after a day at the beach and order food/drinks. More secluded and quiet beach. Take chairs. Can't wait to return!!! ##### Willie V.

Tamarindo isn't too far, about 30 minutes and we were able tonget an uber back one day. We really enjoyed our stay and it was easy to get in contact with any questions we had. Hilda was amazing and so sweet, we ordered the pangas breakfast and she made it all so delicious. We were going on a full day excursion one day and asked if she could make and leave us her yummy rice and beans with the leftovers we had. We didn't have any more beans, but she was so kind to get them for us when she went to the store (we gave her the money ofcourse). We love the fact that a golf cart was included, it definitely helps to get around to the beach club and JW Marriott. The maid service was definitely a plus and the property was very clean. I know it is expected in Costa Rica, all of the different bugs and insects and especially because of the rain. However, the only issue we had was towards the last 2 nights of our stay, in 2 of the rooms there were alot of these bugs which they referred to as ants crawling all over the beds and a pile of them on the floor so the girls ended up sleeping on the couch. Make sure you have tons of bug spray! Also, note that the 2 rooms which are on the outside so you have to walk out of the back door, the restroom shared out there can get a little muggy. Other than that I would still highly recommended this property! Pura Vida!! ##### Kavita K. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kendall P. 5 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing! Didn’t want to leave The hosts were quick to respond and help with our many requests for suggestions, help booking, even for last minute needs. The house is perfect for relaxing and spreading out. I highly recommend staying within Hacienda Pinilla with the beach club and the Marriott as options. We toured the Marriott but didn’t feel the need to buy the day pass. We preferred spending the $10 entry at the beach club and using that toward their delicious food and drinks. You need to get there fairly early for chairs during peak times. The hosts know all of the best tours m, etc in the area- so instead of searching around yourself- go with their connections. We did a full day tour using expeditions. Carlos was amazing- picked us up and drove almost 2 hours to the La Leona waterfall hike. There were many tour groups there - but it seemed like the guides we were with had some sort of ‘clout’ and expertise and got us places on the hike with expedited priority. Highly recommend. Then we had lunch, and off to tubing down a river. So fun for everyone. He then got us safely home- with a few stops at needed stores along the way so we didn’t have to go back out! We also used an amazing private chef one night at their recommendation. It was delicious- a taco bar by Daniela with Main Course. She was great to work with and stayed within our budget. We also took their suggestion for surf lessons using Nico. He is normally in Tamarindo but came to us at Avellana w/enough extra instructors for our group. ##### Kendall P.

The palms, the decor, the beauty of the place can not be overstated. You’ll love it here and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay while in Costa Rica! ##### jay f. ### 10/10 Excellent #### jay f. 4 Sept 2018 #### Fantastic stay...YOU WILL LOVE IT!! Joel was there upon our arrival and took care of all our needs! The house never disappoints and we absolutely loved our stay. We grilled on the bbq, cooked on the stovetop or went out to eat in nearby Tamarindo and surrounding areas. I can't say enough good things about staying at Villa Nalu! ##### jay f.

The house is so nice and very clean. We loved the outdoor showers, the beautiful pool and the housekeeper. We were so excited when a large group of howler monkeys visited the tree in the backyard on our last day. Overall great property! ##### Patricia H.

The home’s layout was perfect for whole group gatherings while offering privacy when desired. The golf cart made getting around the community very fun and was a highlight for the children. The beaches were beautiful and nearly empty. Our stay in Costa Rica was very memorable. ##### Lori R. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2023 ---
