Fantastic stay...YOU WILL LOVE IT!!

Joel was there upon our arrival and took care of all our needs! The house never disappoints and we absolutely loved our stay. We grilled on the bbq, cooked on the stovetop or went out to eat in nearby Tamarindo and surrounding areas. I can't say enough good things about staying at Villa Nalu!

Family vacation

What a great home! From the moment we all walked in, we new we picked the right place. Our Host was wonderful, helping us navigate some of the area sites. The beach club was an absolute plus on those days you just want to relax, or staying at the villa, both beautiful choices. We all agreed it was a great vacation!

FANTASTIC

THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!! We had such a great time and I can't say enough good things about Villa Nalu. This place is tucked back into the foliage, surrounded by beautiful trees, palms and fronds...so cool. Not to mention, the house is super private with the golf course behind and mature trees on either side. Families and friends will love this place!

Loved the house!

The house is so nice and very clean. We loved the outdoor showers, the beautiful pool and the housekeeper. We were so excited when a large group of howler monkeys visited the tree in the backyard on our last day. Overall great property!

Amazing stay - Pura Vida!

Had a wonderful time in Costa Rica, and this property was great. Bring your mountain bike if you can, lots of bike trails, or rent one. There are plenty of beaches close by. The property itself, is great. Lots of space, and it's wonderfully decorated, and laid out. I highly recommend this property.

Zen with a touch of monkey

We had a wonderful time at Villa Nalu! The home was beautiful, the grounds were well kept and the howler monkeys were kind enough to let us sleep in until 5am (haha). It was absolutely amazing to be so close to them and the kids loved it. Thank you Hilda for preparing us breakfast and for keeping us neat and tidy all week. This was our third trip to Costa Rica and by far our best. Thank you to Joel, David and the team for being there when we needed you. Pura Vida! Brian
