"Loveley resort! Great beach! Xlnt food!"

"This is a beautiful home in a very tranquil location on a hillside with beautiful views. Our host Roxy is very accommodating and quick to respond with any questions or requests. She truly wants you to have a wonderful Costa Rico experience. I truly recommend and look forward to returning. If you won’t have a car, I recounting a golf cart to move around the resort and go into town. We had both but frankly the golf cart was much more fun! "

"The apartment was clean and had nice views of the bay. The location, however was not as advertised. The listing said 1 min walk to Bahia Pez Vela Beach, and the map showed it as such. The real location was a 20 minute walk down a very steep road to that location. This advertising was simply false. We did not receive a welcome message that described how to get into the apartment, and once we did figure this out by asking the security guard for a key, there was no welcome message indicating how to get onto wifi. We had to drive all the way back down to Ocotal to get a cell signal to ask about wifi password. Finally, the listing indicated that the second bedroom had two double beds. Instead, it had two single (twin) beds. "

"We just returned from 8 nights at Villa Allamanda from June 4 - June 12, 2025. The house is as beautiful in person as the gorgeous pictures online. The view is spectacular, and we got up at sunrise every morning to watch for wildlife and listen to the birds and howler monkeys. The pool and hot tub were well-maintained and made us feel like we had our own private resort. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed so we could cook breakfast each morning and the occasional lunch or dinner. Playa Ocotal was the closest beach at only a 5 minute drive down the hill and very easy to get to from the house. The sand is mostly black with some tan mixed in, and the water was crystal clear and the perfect temperature. We snorkeled most days by the rocks on both sides of the beach and saw a huge variety of colorful fish, so bring your gear if you like to snorkel. There are foldable lawn chairs (not reclining), a cooler and a few sand toys at the house. There are 2 blue foam pool floats that you can lay on in the pool but no noodles or inflatable tubes, so you might consider bringing some or buying them nearby in Coco. There are plenty of every type of towel. Each bathroom has shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hand soap, and a hair dryer. Showers are hot with great water pressure. A few of the beds are very firm. The road to the house is very steep, curvy, & narrow, so small 4WD SUV is best to rent. Lissa with Zindis was wonderful and so helpful. Ready to return! Pura Vida! "

"The support we recieved was amazing, we got an early checking in and Daniel who was supporting us, was really on top! The place was really big, lots of room and space and it fit our needs! All of our friends were really happy about the place! Thanks guys!"

"Love the house and good quiet get away!"

"The title says it all. We spent a week in March at this property with 4 adults and 2 kids and it was completely amazing. Not only did it have a breathtaking view of the ocean and of the incredible sunsets each night, the house was comfortable, cool, and quiet. Bonus points for having air conditioning units in each bedroom. We spent hours in the clean refreshing pool before and after activities. The property is about 10 minutes from the beach and amazing restaurants and a short drive to hiking, animal sanctuaries, and all the various adventuring of Costa Rica. I will also never forget wandering outside to see howler monkeys in the trees next to the driveway. The property manager was extremely responsive and helpful. Costa Rica is a magical place and this rental is a perfect place to experience it. "
