Classic beach front luxury on Playa Langosta / Tamarindo

My family spent a week at Casa Paquita and loved each and every moment. The house is gorgeous and perfectly situated - the beach outside is quiet and perfect for walking / exploring the tidal pools during low tide. My 2 boys saw puffer fish, eels and an octopus all within yards of the house. The pool is to die for - you don't realize how lush the garden is from the pictures and how welcome the shade is in the Guanacaste heat. My husband took advantage of the nearby surf spots - he was up bright and early most days surfing either Tamarindo or the Langosta river break. Tamarindo is just a short walk away and has a multitude of fantastic restaurants - in our experience it's rare to find a beach location with an abundance of truly good restaurants, but Tamarino is the exception to the rule - truly a gem of a house and location.

Daniel is absolutely fantastic. The service was outstanding and Daniel made sure to check in with use regularly, answer any questions we had and organize everything from where to shop to tours. All the furniture is brand new, and everything is meticulously maintained - we could not have asked for more!

The house is a beautiful beachfront gem yet the administration truly provides preferential service to foreigners. The housekeeper provided mediocre service to a total of 14 guests. The struggle to keep the kitchen, common areas and rooms clean was unbelievable and unacceptable. Five guests received clean towels while others had to reuse dirty and wet ones. We had to request for her to take out the trash which, as you can imagine with 14 guests, was full daily. Though the house was magestic and in a prime location I can’t recommend it to families looking to enjoy paradise.

We loved everything about our stay at Casa Paquita! The home is newly renovated with a large eat-in kitchen and each bedroom has its own bath. The view of the ocean and beach from the house is stunning and the large infinity pool is perfectly situated to enjoy the view as well. There is plenty of room for large families.

Daniel is an amazing host and knows all there is to know about Costa Rica. He recommended and set up all of our excursions and dinner reservations for us. He was also able to arrange a private chef to come to the house and provide dinner. I would highly recommend this for large groups. The food was delicious.

The house also has a daily housekeeper who will come in and clean, make beds and freshen towels.

Overall, I would book this home again in a heartbeat!

We had a fabulous time! The house is even more stunning in person than the pictures- the renovations are gorgeous! Daniel was amazingly helpful with local info, tour arrangements and last minute additions. Carlos was our guide for adventure tour and was so helpful- took pictures of us zip lining and helping one of our group members who has some health issues and wanted to watch but not participate.

Book the chef- our best meals were at the house. We did breakfast and 2 dinners. Everything was so fresh and delicious and we had leftovers.

Highly recommend the house....just book it!

We had a great vacation for 10 days in the Paquita house. Plenty of room for 3 families. The pool and the view provided hours for fun for kids and adults alike and the sunset views were amazing. Its about a mile walk to town along the beach or if you go the other direction there is a fantastic beach with great surfing. I had a chance to see this home a couple years ago and there have been some renovations done that give a a modern look and feel. Daniel was awesome as usual and we would definitely stay again!
