We absolutely had a wonderful stay. The condo was immaculate and had everything we needed. The concierge was helpful and the neighbors and groundskeepers were all friendly. We loved sitting on the balcony at sunrise and listening to the birds and town wake up. It was a short walk to Playa Flamingo, and we rented a golf cart from the concierge to explore the surrounding towns. There are quite a few restaurants nearby, the pizza place was great as were the tacos across the street. There is a little grocery across the street but there are cheaper options a short drive away in Potrero.The hosts/concierge were also very accomodating, allowing us to stay an extra hour to wait for our shuttle. All in all I would definitely recommend this place to travelers who want a great view. If stairs are a problem I you might look for something else, but we enjoyed the extra workout! Just fyi there are two buildings and this rental is in the southern building (same side of the pool as the hot tub) on the top floor.
Really enjoyed our stay in this condo. Location was perfect, felt safe in the neighborhood and was perfect having the market and the best tacos across the street. The bed is firm/hard and uncomfortable if you are one to need a softer bed so that is definitely something to consider but we still enjoyed and was pleased with our stay.
We loved the locality of the condo to the beach, car and golf cart rentals, grocery stores, restaurants and shops around the Plaza and the Marina. It was a small place but the pool and view were awesome. Perfect for just 2 adults! We had a fantastic time!
Nicely equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed and couch. Ac is good. Accessible by walking to Flamingo beach, many restaurants and coffee shops in walking distance
good value and good location. The lock on the door is a little squirrelly. it was constantly trying to lock itself automatically and was a little annoying
It's been six years since we stayed at Playa Flamingo and this condo offered us the best opportunity to enjoy the Flamingo we remembered, the Mardi Gras celebration, and to see the new marina area and it's shops.
We were not disappointed. Two thumbs up!
Great location! Can walk to the beach in 5 minutes as well as many restaurants and shops. Amigos Tacos and a small grocery store (albeit with higher prices due to convenience) are right across the street. Safe neighborhood, great if you just want to chill in Flamingo or if you want to plan day trips to Conchal and Brasilito (20 min drive) or Tamarindo (45 min drive). Hot water in the shower and had everything needed for cooking. Pool was clean.
The property management (Special Places of Costa Rica) concierge, Carlos, was wonderful, as was the rest of the staff. They were always reachable, attentive and our requests and concerns were addressed in a timely manner. The groundskeeper, Eddy, kept the common areas spotless, especially the pool. Our only recommendation is that the owners of the condo where we spent 10 days, spend a little time and money revitalizing the unit. We will be back!
Overall I really liked this condo. Was well equipped with everything. Itâs on the 3rd storey with several steps so if you have issues with stairs itâs quite the climb. There are restaurants nearby, a little grocery store across the street and the beach is within walking distance. The view was spectacular as long as you donât look down to the street below. The pool was great. We had it to ourselves most times we were there. The sunsets there are absolutely gorgeous but you have to walk to the beach to see them which we didnât mind. The sunrise however you can see from your balcony and theyâre beautiful. Playa Flamingo is a beautiful area but a car is definitely recommended. Lots of restaurants and about a half hour to Tamarindo.
Everything was just as described. The property management team was awesome.
We had an issue with our scheduled arrival and departure dates. We had to cut the trip short by 3 days at the very last minute. It had nothing to do with the management or owners. But we presented the situation, they understood and refunded 3 days. Because it was last minute and we were in the nonrefunable period, they did not have to do it but they did. Very reasonable of them.
The location is great. Watch awesome sunrises. It was walking distance to everything.
Highly recommend this place.
We were checking into The Westin for a business trip and decided to travel into CR early and stayed here. It was exactly what we wanted/needed. We rented a golf cart from Pablo on site and went beach/bar hopping and highly recommend doing that. Had coffee at the marina. Tacoâs at Amigos and breakfast at a great place at the marina. Stayed 2 nights. There was only one tiny bottle of shampoo/conditioner/body wash for both of us (for 3 showers each). We went and asked the management office for additional and they do not provide any. We went and bought all at the store just below. It was extremely hot during our visit. AC worked great! Pool is just below the unit. Management Office was extremely helpful. I would get the golf cart on your own though (not through management company). It was a great experience and glad we extended our CR trip and included Flamingo Beach.
ACCESS ISSUES:
We were delayed settling in on day 1 due to communication issues from the condo on how to access the unit, lack of cleanliness, and maintenance items. Had to message VRBO several times, drive around PF marina to find the office all to no avail, until well after check-in the onsite coordinator showed up.
CLEANLINESS:
We noticed the âcleanâ bed sheets had long hairs from the previous guests. The âsoaker tubâ was horribly unclean with multiple stains, and the faucet was broke/leaking. The sofa had sweat and blood stains.
Owner (foreign property buyer Kenny Segers) is aware of issues and won't fix apparently. Staff were helpful, and are probably VERY underpaid.
More:
The bed was super uncomfortable.
The fridge was missing all of its door rails. Nothing could be stored in the door.
The jacuzzi and pool had lots of bees/flies/leaves in it. Morning staff cleaned this up, but there was no staff later in the day it was usually bad again by late afternoon.
The dollar store shower curtain rod was broken and barely held the curtain up. It has no tension left, and cannot push against the wall to stay up.
The grounds are not secure (parking, pool access, even inside the condo stairwell) all open to the public.
Ocean view is obscured by telephone wires/trees, etc.
Lots of stairs, and uphill walking. Pack lightly, or choose another space if you don't want to drag your luggage up outdoor steps, and 4-5 flights of stairs from the parking lot to the condo.
This condo was perfect. Top floor views, thereâs a little pool in the middle of the buildings that is perfect to plop into on a hot day, walking distance to the beach, clean, quiet and safe. There are quite a few steps to get up to the condo, however, just a heads up if you have mobility limitations. But otherwise 10 out of 10!!
