An amazing property and Keith is a very knowledgeable host with lots of advice on the area - which we appreciated with it being our first visit. The ground are immaculate, your toughest decision may be the pool or the beach - both are amazing!!
Our family of three had an incredible time at the Palms in Playa Flamingo. The host, Keith, was fantastic as well as the concierge and all the staff. The villa was comfortable and had everything we needed for a two-week stay. Highly recommended.
We were a family of four and had a wonderful stay at this condo over New Years. The condo itself has everything, beds were comfortable, patio and balconies were nice for eating/reading outside, and we got great use out of the kitchen. The Palms is a beautiful property with nice pools,water toys free to use, a lovely outdoor grill area, a great massage
Great Property, with an excellent staff. Grounds were well maintained and beautiful. Beach and sunsets were some of the best we have experienced. The owner of the Villa we rented was exceptional to work with, for airport transportation, local restaurants and excursions. Highly recommend this resort.
Wow! What an amazing trip and property! Keith was an amazing host always checking in to make sure we were happy. The property is so special. Small and a community vibe with the other guests. You can seriously walk to the beach in minutes! My family had such a great time and we will 100% be back!
Our 5 person family really enjoyed our stay at The Palms. Keith, the Villa owner, was very helpful and attentive. The Staff at The Palms was very gracious and kind. They helped us with excursions and dinner reservations / recommendations. A super big plus is the fact that you are right on the beach and a beautiful one at that!!!
This property is beautiful! It is better than photos. We stayed a week and were sorry to leave! The people at the property make it even better! Anthony at the pool bar is fantastic. The beach and town are impeccable. We will be back!
This was a wonderful, well stocked condo. The resort grounds were well maintained and beautiful. Keith is a wonderful host who was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. The concierge staff are spectacular! We will definitely return.
My family stayed at the Palms Villa over Xmas. The property is superbly appointed, just steps from the pools and pristine beach. The owner was extremely responsive and helpful with lots of tips and contacts, and the concierge helped us book several excursions which were fantastic. Very quiet and relaxing. Definitely 5 stars, and I'm a picky customer. Top notch.
If you are looking for a location, you can call Paradise, this is it. From the amenities to the service to the location, this property is hard to beat. The only risk of giving this review is it it will be harder to rent, but I think everyone should have a chance to experience time at this property The host goes above beyond and the staff does as well.
We truly enjoyed our stay at the Palms with Keith! The unit was very clean and well maintained with very comfortable beds. Keith was very responsive and helpful. The ice maker was broken but he arranged for ice delivery. There were no boogie boards but Keith had one delivered. The grounds, beach and pool areas were amazing and relaxing. It was nice to be close to the marina because we arranged for 2 tours for boating and snorkeling. Overall, an amazing stay!
This was our second stay at The Palms, and while the first time was great, this stay was better. What made this trip better was our host, Keith. I read all the reviews (all 10/10) for this amazing host and let me tell you, they were all accurate. We actually went with Keith and Villa because of his rating, and we were not disappointed. So, if you are considering a stay at The Palms, do yourself a favor and book thru Keith, you will not find a better host..
These beautiful villas are in a perfect location - about 50 ft from two beautiful pools and about 75 ft from the ocean/beach and very walkable to the fabulous Coco-Loco (great food!)
You won't find many properties like this in the area (if any). It's not overrun with guests or tourists (let's put it this way--there was never a wait or struggle to get beach chairs around the private pool). Just right. The villas are beautiful and extremely well-maintained.
A big shout out to our host - Keith who was accommodating and understood exactly what our extended family needed - from transportation, and dining accommodations to fishing and other activities in the area.
Beautiful place. Understand they have strict rules about guests not having any guests. No balls or toys in pool. Our owner graciously did allow us to have friends who were staying near by stop by for a short visit. These rules may be a positive or a negative depending on your wants. Also only one of bedroom has ocean view. Loft is unusable. Although overall location on beach and pool are amazing !
The accommodations were as expected. Very good for two couples. The owner , Keith, was in constant touch. He also made a car available for us to use at a reasonable cost. We found several good restaurants nearby at the marina - Hazel’s , Matias and Surf Box. Next to the resort is PoloLoco which is a casual beach front eatery. We did a couple of excursions. The sunset cruise was nice - an afternoon out to the rocks in the distance. We also did the tour to Nicaragua. Brutal- 16 hours - most in a crammed van. Not recommended unless you want to punish yourselves.
All good - Pura Vida !
This was our third visit to The Palms on Flamingo Beach. Although all the units we stayed in were lovely, this unit (16) exceeded our expectations at every level and will be our number 1 choice for future visits. The furnishings were all very high quality and the villa had everything we could ever need. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable and the kitchen was fully equipped.
The concierge team was outstanding and scheduling activities and dinner reservations through them was very easy.
What really set our experience apart from prior trips was the host, Keith. He contacted us several times prior to our trip and stayed in touch throughout our visit. You can tell he genuinely cared about ensuring we had a great experience. I can't thank Keith enough for making this a truly memorable vacation!
This was our first trip to the Palms & Costa Rica so we didn't know what was in store. Nevertheless, IT WAS FABULOUS! This property is lovely from you entering the gate all the way to the ocean. The staff was on top of anything we needed at any time. The villa itself was very accommodating, clean, up-to-date furnishings, comfortable sectional in the living area, & the master bedroom bed was amazingly comfortable. Keith, the owner, was in contact with us to give us pointers about the area and to make sure we had what we needed at the Palms and the villa itself. He was attentive to our every need and want! YES, I would re-book this property again and again 1000%. Pura Vida!!!
Even before our arrival, I had good feelings about this stay. Not just from the pictures, but from the interactions with Keith before we got there! Unbelievably gracious, kind, and connected to his guests! We celebrated a big birthday and treated ourselves to an unfamiliar holiday. The place was fantastic, and if there was a need, he or the staff at the Palms acted to resolve it! The concierge team was fantastic, the outdoor kitchen was perfect, and the pool was amazing! Don't be scared of the "rainy season". Green and lush, and the minimal rain we got was short-lived. Drivers, local transportation, recommendations, suggestions, the PLACE.... we absolutely loved our stay and hope to return someday. Thank you for a wonderful holiday Keith. With our gratitude! We hope others are blessed to enjoy your home and this place!!
Our stay for our family of 5 at The Palms was just perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the concierge team, who gave us a thorough tour of the villa and explained the onsite and nearby amenities. Visiting in July, we found the property pleasantly uncrowded, often having the pool entirely to ourselves at certain times of the day.
The location is truly beachfront, exactly as shown in the listing, and the infinity pool provided the perfect spot to catch the stunning Costa Rican sunset. The concierge team communicated with us via WhatsApp, typically responding to our requests in less than 2 minutes, which was amazing. They helped us book restaurants, excursions, and answered our questions throughout our stay.
The 2-bedroom condo was spacious enough for our family of 5 (3 adults and 2 kids, aged 12 and 17). Our 12-year-old slept in the loft, and our 17-year-old slept on the sofa downstairs, and everyone felt the condo was roomy and comfortable. The kitchen appliances were great, allowing us to make a cup of coffee and enjoy the ocean view in the mornings.
A special thank you to the host, Keith, who went above and beyond in accommodating our requests. He contacted us on our first day and recommended nearby restaurants that were phenomenal. Do yourself a favor and be sure to eat at the Surf Box and Gracia La Vid during your stay!
If you're considering staying in Playa Flamingo, I highly recommend this villa at The Palms!
We had the most incredible time in Playa Flamingo at Keith's house. We are so grateful! The house had EVERYTHING we could have asked for, and more! Lush towels, kitchen well stocked, comfortable beds, blackout shades! We used the concierge for grocery delivery, ordered groceries ahead of time so that they were at the house when we arrived. Highly recommend! It was about an hour drive from the airport, we DID get a rental car, and we were glad we had one (we like to explore). Roads were bumpy in places, but not too bad.The beach at Playa Flamingo is beautiful -- long stretch of soft white sand, warm water, sunsets were pristine! We loved the staff on the grounds too -- they were so hospitable and welcoming -- fresh towels to lay out on the beach. There are also paddleboards and boogie boards you can use for free, and very comfortable beach lounging chairs. This is a private residence, but it feels like a hotel! It was SO nice having a cleaning service every day! There are several restaurants within walking distance, or you could take a car/golf cart. As far as activities, we did an ATV tour, a catamaran/snorkling tour, and a hike to the La Leona waterfall. All three were INCREDIBLE, memorable, beautiful, adventurous, fun. This was our first trip to Costa Rica and we LOVED it and will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your home with us Keith! It was a dream!
