Wonderful stay and experience all around. When booking, we didn't fully anticipate just how helpful the concierge and house staff would be in preparation for, and during our stay. This was so much more than just a place to stay. The house, amenities, location, views, pool, and everything were exceptional.

Our family of 18 stayed at Compass House to celebrate our parents 60th Anniversary. The house could not have been more perfect! The host was VERY responsive, often within a minutes. The 9 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms worked perfectly and were beautiful, well equiped and had very comfortable beds. The 9th bedroom is a separate entrance without a view, but it worked great for our college aged son. Nothing was spared on this house - awnings and shades perfectly placed if you need to get away from the hot sun. Our house moms made delicious breakfast every day and even did our laundry daily if we wanted. As noted in other reviews, the hill to get to the house is steep and bumpy! If you plan to go into town or the beach multiple times, a car or golf cart is a must! We had 1 car and 4 golf carts and there is plenty of parking at the home to accomodate all 5 vehicles easily. We made homemade pizzas in the outdoor pizza oven and they were delicious. We did 2 excursions - Ziplining booked through the conceirge that included transportation. The drive was only 30-45 minutes and we had a great experience. We also booked our own sunset catamaran cruise 1pm-6pm that departed from Tamarindo beach. Everyone from our 3 year old to our 80 year old parents really enjoyed the boat ride, food, and snorkeling. One final note - be prepared to tip the house moms, grounds staff and concierge at the end of your stay - they send a recommendation email - approx. 10% of your booking fee.

Thank you for choosing Compass House to celebrate such an incredible milestone, what an honor to host your parents’ 60th anniversary! We’re so happy the layout, amenities, and team helped make the week seamless and special for your entire family. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with the house moms and staff. And just to clarify for future guests, our tipping recommendations are simply general guidelines based on the length of stay and level of service, always discretionary and entirely at the guest’s comfort. We would love to welcome your family back anytime!

Compass House - Amazing Stay

Absolutely gorgeous, large, well finished house. Great floor plan for entertaining and hosting the wedding we were at. The pool is perfect and has amazing views of the coast. The outdoor kitchen was great as we didn’t ever want to leave the view and the pizza oven is just a huge bonus. Will be back for sure. The hosts were incredibly willing to make sure our stay was as good as it can get as well

Great House

The property was fabulous, super clean, great outdoor space, fantastic views. Natalia and Maria were a pleasure to deal with. We fit 13 people very comfortably in the house. Going up and down the hill into town can be a bit of a challenge however.
