Balcones del Pacifico vacation rentals

The property is beautifully designed; you can really tell the attention to detail. The pool is perfectly positioned so that it’s mostly in the shade, ensuring a perfect way to cool off. It’s in a completely quiet location, yet just a 10-minute walk from the center.

This was our first time to Costa Rica & we chose this unit b/c it had the biggest pool available for our 3 kiddos. The condo, pool & location all over delivered. We had such a great time during our stay. The size of the condo also exceeded expectations giving our family of 5 plenty of room to spread out & relax after the pool/beach time.

We stayed at this condo for over 2 weeks while my daughter was taking classes at Wayra. Everything was exactly as advertised and there was even a yoga mat for me to use. The condo was extremely clean and tidy, and the rooms were spacious as well. The beach chairs and towels were so useful and handy. The balcony was beautiful and we loved our views. We also loved the central location and we always felt safe here.Two minor issues that should be addressed however;1. There should be instructions that the showers need time to warm up. I felt like I was wasting water when I texted about getting hot water in the showers and was told “let it run for 5 minutes”. Maintenance was very responsive, but it would have saved everyone time if it was told to us at check in that the “faucets need to move all the way to the left and wait 5 minutes”.2. Some of the plastic utensils and cutting boards need to be replaced; the plastic was coming apart and we didn’t use them because of that. Those items were the only part of condo that didn’t match the rest of it’s luxurious properties.Overall, we had an amazing trip and would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay in Sand Dollar! The location was perfect - just a block away from the chaos so it was quiet but close enough to easily walk to restaurants and the beach. The apartment itself we very well equipped and the shared pool was great. We had originally booked a smaller unit in a different complex that VIP also manages and quickly realized it wasn't going to work out for us. Luckily our property manager Rigo found Sand Dollar for us and we were able to upgrade with minimal hassle. Highly recommended!

We loved the location with great access to everything we needed. Our hosts were great and the place was comfortable. Older folks like us should be aware of stairs, which surprised us.

This is an awesome place to stay. It is a block away from town which makes it great, because you are not kept awake from the loud music and night life. Yet very easy to walk to & from. 5 minutes from restaurants ands supermarkets, 10 minutes walk to the beach. I cannot say enough good things about the place. Condo is just as in the pictures, the place is private, has a great pool, easy access and security. Equipped with everything you need for your stay. Hope to be back again soon! Host was great, extremely responsive!
