We have stayed at this spot for two years now. It is fabulous! The pictures and descriptions on this site are quite accurate. Have traveled to many areas in the world, very often staying in rental apartments/homes and this is definitely one of the best. It is high end, safe,spacious and quiet. I can think of nothing negative. What a treat to open the patio doors and step into the pool or walk about 50 yards to the beach. The beach is typical for the area- wide, clean and goes for miles. I often would go for a run and once past the immediate area, would rarely pass more that half a dozen people on the beach. Ocean is great for surfing and with a few minute's walk, you can find an area appropriate for swimming. The manager of the property is a real gem. He will organize anything, provide accurate advice and ensure your vacation is as perfect as possible. He personally took us grocery shopping after picking us up at the local airport. Above and beyond anything I have encountered before. First year we rented a car but the second year decided we really didn't need one. We walked into town for evening meals with no problem. Lots of great restaurants. Typical little tourist shops. I would recommend this place and location to anyone including friends and family. You will not be disappointed. If we can manage it, we will be back again this coming year!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

This place exceeded all our expectations. We've been going to Costa Rica for many years and this is by far the nicest place we have ever rented. The only problem is, I don't know how I will ever convince my family to go anywhere else in CR. Being right on the beach, able to come and go anytime, was priceless. I did worry that it might be loud with the shared pool right in front of us, but we practically had the place to ourselves and the guests that were there during our stay were considerate. Lastly, but importantly, the beds and bedding were of a very high standard. This is not common in CR. My daughter still talks about the projection screen/TV in the living room. We found a video rental place in Tamarindo or you could bring some movies from home.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

We stayed in in this unit for 5 days and loved every minute of it. We are 5 middle-aged "surfers" and this place couldn't have been better. This is a great unit for any occasion and any age group, including families with children. Bob took care of things when we needed him. The pictures are 100% accurate and we scored pretty good waves while we were there. It truly is on the beach and the pool is nice as well. It's a newer unit, so the finishes and quality of construction are terrific. It was very quiet, and the neighbors in this condo development are very nice. It is close to "downtown" Tamarindo, which is also very convenient. I was responsible for organizing this surf trip, and my friends said I "batted 1000%". This unit was one of the main reasons why.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

My husband and I and two good friends stayed at this lovely apartment for 10 days and loved every moment of our stay. Best parts: You're directly on the beach--there's nothing between you and the ocean; you're on the first level of the condo which means you have direct access to the outdoors; the condo is beautifully furnished and maintained. Other friends stayed at a large, busy hotel in. town but this was not our idea of a relaxing vacation. We had no car but hiring a taxi was cheap and easy.We walked to some fine restaurants recommended by Bob Wilson,CalaLuna was outstanding--their homemade bread was fantastic! We took a catamaran trip where saw rare birds, crocodiles (close up)! and monkeys who visited us on board to eat bananas, went ziplining, searched for seashells,took a day-long cruise that ended with a spectacular sunset. Hey, I forgot--ALL the days ended that way! It's a great place for anyone: relax and just listen to the surf or,enjoy the many activities available. Only drawback was no phone service in the condo. But I used Skype on my computer to reach Bob and he always answered or promptly returned my call.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.

Two retired people with a twenty-two year old; we found the location to be excellent and Bob Wilson responded quickly to our every request, including two great tours. The ground level direct entrance to the pool provided a great opportunity to meet others in the condo (Horizontes del Mar) without adding any unwanted noise as the pool closes at 10:00 pm. Taxis are adequate for local transportation ($5) but the only way to efficiently get one is to walk about 150 yards to the Barcelo Langosta down the road. Car rentals will cost double the listed price after unavoidable insurance and taxes. Surfing is the local sport; consequently sea conditions do not favor swimming or skin diving in the immediate vicinity. Local restaurants are great and the best are still reasonably priced - below even average prices in Canada. We found no evidence of anti-gringo stuff. Canadians frequent the Horizontes, and locals have commented favorably upon us.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway.

We stayed in this home for one week, and everything was top notch. The home is beautiful and just perfect. The pool is right outside the door, and the beach just after that. We had amazing massages right on the beach, just a few steps from the house. The place is well maintained, and perfectly safe. There is a little market just down the road, if you don't want to go into the town. Highly recommended!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

Unbelievable accomodations right on the beach. This is a special place that we will never forget. The beach is perfect and the location can not be beat. It was so convienient and central to all types of activities like shopping and resturaunts. We went golfing, horseback riding, sailing, scuba diving and did a canopy tour too! The grand kids learned to surf just a few minutes away. We agree with the grandchildren when they said "this place is awsome". The sunsets were like nothing we have ever seen before. We hate to leave BUT we will be back soon! Raymond and Linda Dallas TexasDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 3/3

Manager info
Year Purchased: 2007
Why Playa Langosta:
I bought in this development because I had been surfing this spot for almost 20 years, since the early 1990's. I used to park right on the spot where the condo sits and watch the waves roll in and the unbelievable sun sets. The location is magical, and I swore if I could ever own a home there I would. The opportunity arose in 2007 with the development of Horizontes Del Mar and I jumped on it. The sunsets are the same, the view is better than ever, and now I can enjoy it from the comfort of my living room, in air conditiioning
The Unique Benefits at this Condo:
This is the only 3 bedroom unit on the beach level. This unit is unique because you DON'T have to DRAG all of your stuff (coolers,drinks,towels,beach bags, books,etc) UP & DOWN from the upper floors to enjoy the pool or beach. All you do is walk out the back door. If you are by the pool or on the beach and need a bathroom, or something to eat or drink, there's no problem here. No stairs to deal with, no hassles. It makes it very easy to watch children too. Also, unlike the upper units you have a PRIVATE covered patio at beachside/poolside with a high speed ceiling fan and custom made super comfortable loungers right next to the pool overlooking the beach!!! Everyone else has to sit in the heat or under an umbrella fanning themselves. Ahhhh, comfort and convenience are pricelss on vacation.
