Guest Access:
The front entrance security and concierge team are available 24/7 to check you into your Villa.
The Neighborhood:
Playa Flamingo has a vibrant marina and some great restaurants to keep you well fed on your stay. One restaurant is located right next to the condo complex and offers you a full meal service delivered right to your Villa. There is lots to do locally such as a boating excursion, tennis, surfing, and a Monday night artisan market. The best way to get around locally is by golf cart. There are 2 local grocery stores and a pharmacy within a 5 minute drive where you can get everything you need. We love organizing our travels to feel like retreats so get in touch to get advice on how to do this for your family!
If you are looking for more support to plan you trip reach out to us! We give you The Playa Flamingo Restaurants hit list and out best recommendations, such as a private dinner on the beach cooked by Chef Dania and her team, a private boating excursion, our fave kids activities like the zoo, 1/2 day sailing camp or tennis camp, walk around a live volcano.
Getting Around:
Our Villa is situated 1 hour from Liberia International Airport and most guests fly into and out of Liberia International Airport (LIR). At customs you will need a return flight and where you will be staying. You are staying at The Palms Private Residences in Playa Flamingo. After customs is baggage collection and finally a baggage scanner where you will be asked to throw out any fresh fruit and vegetables that are not allowed in the country. We only recommend a driver pick you up. You can have a car or a golf cart brought to the Villa directly saving you time and often money too! Your driver will pick you up at the main entrance to the airport. Typically they are holding a sign with your name on it. Again, we do not recommend renting a car at the airport.
Other Things to Note:
Before you pack, know that it is hot, you are staying on the beach (think humidity!), and the vibe is casual. The Pacific North Coast of Costa Rica is rich with beaches and sprinkled with all the wonders of Guanacaste: fruit trees, howler monkeys, and hot weather.
What clothing to pack. This area of Costa Rica has 2 seasons.
Dry season: November - April where barely a sprinkle will be felt.
Rainy season: May - October where there are hard rains that pass, often only for a few hours.
We recommend bringing $200-$500 hundred US dollars. Most places accept credit cards and the local banks allow you to withdraw money from your accounts. The local currency is USD and CRC (Costa Rican Colon).
Interaction with Guests:
You have 24/7 concierge services included with your stay. Our concierge team is there to help with excursions, bookings of restaurants, help with the common space use of the property, ordering more beach towels, booking daily cleaning, etc. They can help with A LOT of your questions on-site.
There are extras at the Palms that create an all-inclusive feel. A fresh beach towel daily service, daily housekeeping, internet hubs around the common grounds, a full gym with AC, a masseuse and a staffed bar to order smoothies or sunset drinks (these services are extras if they are not included in a retreat setup with us).

We had a wonderful time and will definitely come back again. The condo was beautiful and the kitchen was incredibly well stocked. The beach, pool and property were ideal. Loved our trip!

Everything was exceptional. The Villa was clean and modern. I would like to thank Dania especially for her patience and helping us out every step of the way. She is an amazing chef as well.
We are looking forward to our next trip to CR!
I would give this place more stars if I could. It is beautiful, comfortable and has everything for a perfect vacation. The location is incredible. Steps from a beautiful swimmable beach with soft sand. My kids spent most of their time on the boogie boards provided by the Palms but the pools are also wonderful. We had spectacular sunsets you can see from the condo. Inside, it is spotlessly clean. Beds are comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked with anything you would need to cook and there are also excellent grills two doors down. They provide new towels each day. I honestly can’t say enough good things. It is one of my top VRBOs we’ve ever rented.

Amazing catered vacation
We have stayed at some high end vacation spots, but this has the best combination overall! Dania helps coordinate activities, golf cart, dinners, and excursions ahead of time and the concierge service at the Palms can also help when you arrive and during your stay. Having a contact ahead of time, really eased by worries about traveling to a county I didn't know as much about.
We also had two dinners cooked by Dania, who is a personal chef also. These were amazing and she is such a pleasure to have around. The condo unit was clean immaculately every day, everything was there that you could need and the beach was nice and private but beautiful and fun.
Our friends had recommended to stay here and we couldn't agree more. It caters to you, but feels very friendly and down to earth in all the best ways. We are so grateful to have had our 2023 Christmas here.

From the staff to the accommodations, this is my favorite place to go in Costa Rica. The villas are well-appointed and cleaned daily. The grounds are immaculate, and the staff, from bartender to landscapers, are a joy to talk to.
We loved our stay at the Palms residence in Playa Flamingo. The unit was great and the property was well maintained. It is nice and quiet with only (approximately) 30 units. Playa Flamingo is a nice beach and a good location for surfing in Tamarindo or horseback riding on Playa Conchal.
A beautiful beach condo with amazing sunsets at the Palms in Playa Flamingo. Location was perfect to explore the area and the staff—always around ready to help—was kind and very friendly. Though we weren’t able to experience the bar amenities since they were closed during our visit, Janeth, from the spa made the relaxation very easy for us. The property manager Dania had thought about everything we needed during our one month stay and checked on us daily. Her culinary expertise as a private chef made our dinners—cooked with local fresh vegetables and fruits—more special. We felt safe and comfortable while living in paradise, playing in the ocean or dipping in the beautiful infinity edge pool, only a few steps away from our home away home in Costa Rica.
Beautiful spot, gorgeous grounds, straight view out to the beach/ocean. Unit was impeccably clean, and the kitchen had everything. Owners and staff on site were both easy to reach, and everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. We hope to return.
This condo was an incredible place to stay for our family. It was beyond any stay we've experienced in a hotel or rgrough VRBO. The hosts included a private chef dinner and a private yoga session as part of our stay. The chef hand delivered a basket of fresh fruit to greet us on the first day and to answer any questions. The beds were so comfortable and the kitchen was amazing for preparing meals. Loved this place! Highly recommended!!
Great condo on a beautiful beach with all the amenities you could ask for. Property owners were very responsive and helpful with advice prior to our stay. The local contact, Dania, helped us set up dinner reservations at local restaurants and excursions. Everything was flawless. Dania is a trained chef and prepared a meal in our condo one night that was to die for. The on-site concierge was available for anything you need during your stay. Nice pools and well-maintained grounds right on a beautiful soft sand beach. Everything was just amazing. Highly recommend. Don’t miss the sunset at Sentido Norte. Make a dinner reservation and arrive early to watch the sunset. The view is awesome. .
Amazing villa on Flamingo beach! Very clean, check in was a breeze. Dania the property manager is also a private chef, she cooked the most amazing dinner for us one night, it was fabulous. My family and I had a great time, will be back!
