Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Playa Hermosa
We chose to purchase a house in Playa Hermosa because this area has a strong infrastructure with paved roads, close proximity to the Liberia airport, reliable water and electricity, quality healthcare, delicious restaurants, and shopping. There are grocery stores nearby as well as a new movie theater, mini-golf and a children's playground with basketball court. Playa Hermosa's location allows easy accessibility to a wide variety of activities from zip-lining to mountain climbing to experiencing an active volcano. This area is also especially clean and well-kept. While Playa Hermosa has many amenities it still maintains a natural Costa Rican, laid-back feel to allow us to get away from the hustle and bustle of regular life. The beach itself is a multiple-time Blue Flag Award winner, which was important for us as well. And I still can't get over the excitement of seeing monkeys hanging out in the trees!
Owner's Map of Playa Hermosa
We fell in love with Costa Rica while on our first vacation there in October of 2006. In 2007, we became engaged on a beautiful sail boat in the Pacific Ocean just off the coast of Playa Hermosa and we were married here on June 6, 2008. Playa Hermosa and Villa Las Palmas have been at the heart of many lovely memories and exciting experiences for us and we are happy to share those with you!

Thank you so much Rainie for a wonderful time! We could not have asked for a better home to suit our family. Your home was beautiful and the pool was awesome! It was even more beautiful than the pictures looked. We loved Play Hermosa and all that it offered. We spent time at the beach, went scuba diving and went on the best tour of our lives with Bernal. We hope to definitely go back. Thank you to Bernal also who was amazing and took such great care of us!!! Rainie it was wonderful working with you. You made our trip and all of the planning for Costa Rica so incredibly easy. It was a wonderful, relaxing vacation at Villa Las Palmas!

Thank you Jeff & Rainie! WE have thoroughly enjoyed our week here. Bernal is amazing and really made our week fun! We have been horseback riding, zip lining, sailing and to the waterfalls and crocodile watching. This was a wonderful place for the nine of us and we will never forget the hospitality and graciousness of Costa Rica!

We loved our week in beautiful Costa Rica! The pool was so cool and refreshing after our adventures rafting, zip lining, horseback riding and to Palo Verde. Most of all, the people and the culture can teach us so much about pura vita! Thanks so much.

Could a family of eleven ask for a better house to stay in for ten days? Probably not. Our stay has been wonderful. A beautiful pool and villa with a beach a stones throw away. And area and country with some of the most hospitable people on the planet. From river tours with Bernal up close and personal with wildlife to zipline tours with Jose and Rolando, our trip has been relaxing, informative and full of fun. On behalf of our family, thank you to Costa Rica for having us and showing us all you have to offer. P.S. Special thanks to Juanita for a wonderful authentic Costa Rican dinner!

What a wonderful time! The food was great, the people even better. Above all, what a great guide and friend that Bernal was to all of us. Also Lilly was wonderful to us. I’m so glad she spent the day sailing with us. I will recommend this place and Bernal to all my friends. Pura Vida!
