Stayed at Villa Kamar for 4 nights mid January, with a group of 7 friends. Villa Kamar is a beautiful Villa with high-quality rooms, a nice garden and a perfect private pool. The location is also close to perfect, just few steps from the beach, about 300m from the main street, but still in a fairly quiet location. The owner... More

We had a great three days at the beach after three days near Arenal Volcano. Roberto and staff are just what you would hope for. Our one bedroom cottage was perfect for us - quiet and shady. Cottages are well equipped, the pool is a nice change from the beach, and there is an honor bar for refreshments. AC worked... More

It also had it's own pool, was very clean and was located on a quiet street just a short walk from the beach. Roberto and his staff couldn't... More

We stayed here for three days just before we flew back home after a three weeks trip in Panama/Costa Rica. 6 villas surrounding the pool and well equipped. Beautiful place which is run by Roberto and his wife. Good cooking also if Roberto is pleased to do so. When we return to Costa Rica we will visit this place again. More

Villas Kalimba is truly a special place. Each separate villa feels like your own villa - beautifully laid out so that each villa is private but totally accessable. Every detail has been lovingly seen to by it's owner. In addition to well designed indoor space (bedrooms, GREAT bathroom and kitchen) each villa has it's own outdoor space - a portal... More

After returning home from our week at Villas Kalimba I still daydream about going back to our little poolside villa steps from the quiet, beautiful Samara Beach. We could pretend this was our own little place to live Pura Vida. We spent our idle hours in the outdoor living space, with the hammock, sitting area and outdoor dinning area afforded... More

For the Christmas period we wanted a bit of luxury so booked 3 nights at Villas Kalimba but not in the main bit, we hired a private villa with its own pool - heaven. The italian owner was really friendly and helpful. The place was big with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and lounge. It was minutes from the... More

Stayed here from New Year's Eve for the week with our family of four (kids 9,13). For us it was the perfect place. Cross the quiet road and enjoy the beach with excellent surf for beginning surfers. Friendly laid back beach town with a good choice of restaurants. Very tasteful clean villa, beautiful garden and pool. All staff were always... More
