"This was a beautiful property, right on the beach. It felt like we had the whole beach to ourselves. The pool was beautiful and warm and we enjoyed making dinner at home and eating outside on the back deck each night. The property was a bit of a drive from shops and the big, modern grocery stores in Tamarindo, but with a car it is easy to get around. We had a lovely, relaxing time here!"

Casa Juliana: Beautifully renovated Villa in Jan '25 with pool steps from beach

10/10 Excellent

"The place was perfect for our 3 families and grandparents, for a total of 16. Each of the 4 couples had their own room with thr grandkids in the two other rooms.The pool was perfect for cooling down after the intense afternoon heat.The beach, where they release turtles, is only steps away. There are also a couple of restaurants right on the beach.You can hear the howler monkeys from the casa and go for a walk and see them!The city of Junquillal did have an issue with their water pump, however, other than reducing laundry loads, it didnt affect us.A couple of days there were multiple power outages that lasted seconds to minutes. One morning had an outage for about 2 hours."

"A wonderful home just a few minutes from the beach. The pool was beautiful, and the kitchen was very well stocked. Communication was great with the manager through WhatsApp."

Bohemian Luxury Bungalows

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were very comfortable (best sleep we had on our trip to Costa Rica) and we loved the pool, the beach, the sunsets, and the star gazing at night. We were there with our family. It is a bit remote so good idea to bring games and snacks if traveling with kids. The restaurant on the premise is expensive but serves creative dishes by a Michelin star chef using local ingredients."
