Thank you, Mikah! We're glad you and your family enjoyed the Villa Royal and had a great experience with Cris and Wendy. Hope to welcome you back soon!
The Villa was the perfect place to spend our family Christmas vacation.The views were gorgeous! Cris worked with us before and during our stay to make sure it was exactly what we wanted. Wendy kept the villa spotless and made the most delicious breakfasts! Everything about this trip was first class. Our family voted this our best vacation ever!
The house was absolute perfection with views that simply cannot be topped! The pictures on the listing do not even capture how beautful! The travel coordinator, Cris, was so helpful in booking activities and answering any and all of our questions along the way. Wendy kept the house in pristine condition while we were out enjoying beaches and activities. Cannot say enough good things!

Having you stay in our vacation rental was a true pleasure! We are super happy you enjoyed your time and stay.
Eventually, with everyone singing “heck no we won’t go” I managed to convince my family that we needed to check-out. The hardest thing to do - because we had a truly magnificent time. The house is perfect - great space great location. The town is friendly and real. The team at Vrbo superb, especially our concierge Cris who was ever helpful and always available. Just a special special stay.

Matt, we we so sad to see you leave, we know its was hard to leave Paradise but we hope you and your family can make it back soon! It was really our pleasure to host you and we are thrilled to know what a wonderful time you had. Hope to welcome you back in sunny Tamarindo very soon. Pura Vida!
The house was incredible. Picture perfect sunsets and sunrises each day. The home was in immaculate condition. Wendy, our housekeeper, made the place look better than the Four Seasons every day, and was a great breakfast chef. Cris, our concierge, was excellent in communication and made sure all of our transportation and events were on point. Pool and backyard are great too. Would 1000% stay here again. Thank you!

Thank you so much Tim, we are so happy to hear you had the best stay and enjoyed the house and its amenities. It is true it has the best location for sunrise and sunsets and as a bonus you have our wonderful Wendy that makes the stay an entire best experience.
Glad that Cris was there to organize all the fun part and the best activities in the area!
Thank you so much again for recommending us and for staying with us. We look forward to welcome you back very soon. Pura Vida !
This property is even better than anticipated. It was a beautiful, high end villa with the most incredible views you have ever seen. The community was gated so you felt super safe and extremely close to beaches, shopping, great restaurants, etc. The concierge service was so helpful - very responsive, had great recommendations, helped us set up excursions, etc. The home also had daily housekeeping included and she would help prepare breakfast, snacks, do some laundry, etc. I cannot say enough good things about this home and our experience there. Honestly one of our best VRBO experiences EVER and we cannot wait to go back. This home was absolute PERFECTION!
Wow, what a property. We have had multiple trips to Costa Rica always experiencing different regions or provinces. The most recent trip took us back to Guanacaste and specifically Tamarindo. Although Tamarindo is influenced heavily by tourism it still has a great deal of local charm. The property has a perfect location to experience all of this charm, we were literally a 10 min walk to one of the best family beaches in Costa Rica, and a 10 min walk or 3 min drive to a full service grocery store. The local shops, surfing, restaurants and other entertainment were at our doorstep - so close. However, above all of this convenience was a property with solitude and privacy. Every morning waking up to the sound of ocean waves and a beautiful sunrise that left me totally content while sipping a cup of Costa Rican coffee. It's not often that we get the best of both worlds but this was the one.We had two families a total of 9 people and there was plenty of room and privacy for all. The outdoor space was remarkable, the kitchen was the best I've experienced and the multiple living spaces an added benefit. Most of all the service provided by "Stay at Tamarindo" was beyond perfect. Our daily house staff were excellent and left of feeling like royalty. Always a clean property, while breakfast and snacks were out of this world. If you are looking for a true vacation home this is the one, embrace it and enjoy!
This house was 100% accurate in the description, but it was even better than we imagined. The view was so much better than having a beach front property. Wendy (housekeeper) was the best she cooked us breakfast every day and cleaned up and made sure when we came home after being out every single thing was in order. Laundry was done even though we told her not to worry about it. Location was perfect for us as we rented a van for our week long stay it was just 3 minute drive to grocery stores or restaurants and bars and beach. Out of 20+ vacation rentals over the past few years this was by far the best house we have ever rented for our group of 8 (4 couples)
The house was modern and clean and looked as in the pics. The kitchen and living room opening to the pool area was a great feature and provided unbelievable views and lots of fun at the pool area. We did have a large number of ants invade the master bedroom on the second floor due to the rain, but we used the extra bedroom available to our group. The gated community offered a feeling of security where it is a only a 5 minute drive into the bars, beach and grocery in Tamarindo. It is a very steep road to the house and walking to the beach/Tamarindo would be difficult. The breakfasts made by our housekeeper were delish, and the concierge service was best in class! (Thank you Cristina). We had a great time and would stay here again.
Wonderful home with sweeping views across Playa Grande and the Tamarindo River and surrounding mountains. Great for our family of 4 because the house isn't huge but comfortable. Super convenient to town although you need your own car to go up a steep hill. Property Manager was responsive when we had an AC problem. Exceeded our expectations. The house was the highlight of the stay in the area.
