"The staff was really good. Very friendly and professional, spoke excellent English. Our family with mid to late teens felt very safe on the grounds. Lots of really fun amenities. The food was really good and had lots of varieties. "

"House is just as listed. The staff were a pleasure to work with and the house was spectacular. From the layout, to the cleanliness....we loved this place. I have rented several houses over the years & this one was one of my favorites. When I come to Costa Rica again...would stay here again."

"Beautiful beach with black sand. Perfect for swimming. Our villa was right on the beach gorgeous view of the sunsets every evening. Loved the wildlife around the hotel. The villa was spotless and very comfortable for our family of 6. The kitchen was fully stocked, had everything we needed. Would love to come again, "

"We just returned from 8 nights at Villa Allamanda from June 4 - June 12, 2025. The house is as beautiful in person as the gorgeous pictures online. The view is spectacular, and we got up at sunrise every morning to watch for wildlife and listen to the birds and howler monkeys. The pool and hot tub were well-maintained and made us feel like we had our own private resort. The kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed so we could cook breakfast each morning and the occasional lunch or dinner. Playa Ocotal was the closest beach at only a 5 minute drive down the hill and very easy to get to from the house. The sand is mostly black with some tan mixed in, and the water was crystal clear and the perfect temperature. We snorkeled most days by the rocks on both sides of the beach and saw a huge variety of colorful fish, so bring your gear if you like to snorkel. There are foldable lawn chairs (not reclining), a cooler and a few sand toys at the house. There are 2 blue foam pool floats that you can lay on in the pool but no noodles or inflatable tubes, so you might consider bringing some or buying them nearby in Coco. There are plenty of every type of towel. Each bathroom has shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hand soap, and a hair dryer. Showers are hot with great water pressure. A few of the beds are very firm. The road to the house is very steep, curvy, & narrow, so small 4WD SUV is best to rent. Lissa with Zindis was wonderful and so helpful. Ready to return! Pura Vida! "

"Clean"

"Nice property, smaller than picture suggests but clean and comfortable"

"16 of us travelled together April 2025. 3 families and some friends. We rented the house as well as the casita which has two newly renovated bedrooms with bathrooms. The upstairs 2 bedrooms needed to be accessed from outside. All of the bedrooms had air conditioning. The main area of the house (kitchen, living room) didn’t but we spent all our time on the large terrace enjoying the breathtaking view so it wasn’t that big of a deal. The house is very clean, despite it being an older property. They do a wonderful job maintaining it. There were some hiccups within the first few days but the manager Ilse was on all of them and had them remedied instantly. This is the 2nd property I’ve rented that Ilse manages and when I say she is amazing it’s an understatement really. I have been communicating with her for months about our upcoming trip. I would text her a question and she would get back to me quickly. She truly goes above and beyond. The pool was amazing (my favorite part); well maintained, pool side chairs were comfy and more than enough beach towels for our large group. The photos are definitely reflective of the property! "

"Love the house and good quiet get away!"

"Wonderful time at the property. Very well maintained. A bit adventurous getting to the house and 4x4 definitely necessary as indicated in listing. Food was good and the views were spectacular! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the remote location was very relaxing! "
