Few vacation destinations offer the stunning natural beauty of Costa Rica, where vast stretches of white-sand beach give way to lush tropical forest and misty mountain peaks, and where whale watching, marlin fishing, zip-lining, snorkeling, orchid hunting and sunbathing are tempting diversions. Now you can own a piece of this paradise. Ideally located steps from the ocean on Playa Flamingo, The Palms is a beautiful privately-owned luxury villa community that combines the benefits of home ownership with the amenities, pampering service and conveniences of a resort hotel.

The pool was very big and cool but the rules are very strict, like no inner tubes or no footballs or any type of balls (which sucks). And there is an adult pool for the adults who don’t want to be by kids.

Private and Quiet. This condo is lovely with great amenities and well equipped kitchen. The two levels provided a much nicer view from upstairs, where we mostly were out on the veranda. Pro: Clean and tasteful. Con: The units are apparently becoming dated, and we had no water in the one shower at a few points. A/C in master was spotty. Ice Machine was somewhat non functional. Beach: Fabulous and at he end of the public beach so really private. Soft white sand and easy waves. Con: Very much an older crowd, and the place has little "vibe'. It is close enough to town to go get vibe, but basically without a car, we were trapped in a retirement village. Pro: We could mind our own business and not be bothered. But is began to get a bit monotonous. We really missed the boat on the rental car situation, which apparently you have to order like a year in advance. Con: We asked what time we should be out on our check out date, which was a Thursday. Being told that a new set of guests were coming in, we obliged an early check out. But then we were told that no guests were coming and we should just cancel our hotel (til Saturday because of flight options being limited), and stay there.Like it was a no brainer! However it was too late to cancel without losing our money. That deadline was a week earlier. Had we been aware of this at a more appropriate time we might have just stayed and then we would have made sure we stocked up on more food to cook in another night or two. But no car, no way out and no knowledge of this change in availability left us with no choice. Con: communication with the staff and Owner is difficult unless you have "Whats App" on your phone. Advice if you go: Plan a rental car for sure. And be ready with books and headphones. No music allowed by the pool. And if you like to work out in a gym, this one is perfect, for two or less people at one time. It is a bit dated as well, but worked for us and was a way to keep a little busier. Pro: Get the massage. Ask for Vanessa. The Best at $60! …

The Palms is a low key, easy going, group of villas side by side on the south part of Playa Flamingo. Beautiful sunsets and the white sand beach right in front of the villas - what else do you want? The accommodation is a bit dated, but it’s very well equipped. There’s even a comunal BBQ.

Beautiful, serene setting with spectacular views and unparalleled access to a gorgeous beach. Modern, comfortable, well-equipped luxury condos. The water was wonderfully warm, in both the ocean and the pool. The staff were kind and helpful. Would definitely go back.

When watching the Costa Rican sunset, with a cocktail in hand, in the Infiniti edge pool, that seems to be the question that you first asked another guest you saw. It’s a gem of a property and feels like a slice of heaven—like it’s a secret that you kinda don’t want anyone to know about.. It’s quiet, secluded and exclusive. Only 32 privately owned units, some of which are available through rental program. We have been twice with our family and hope to return again soon. Covid: no test to get in, only test to get out. We had our test on thurs for our mon departure. The concierge there arranged it all. Doc to the door, printing out results, etc. The concierge is there to also book dinners, excursions (private sunset abs snorkel tour is the best), dinner on beach, etc. They also have an on premises outdoor massages for $50 an hour—best massage ever. …

We rented Villa 18 for a week in early June. This place is incredible! Our unit had everything we needed and tons of space for a family of four. We even overpacked with the ability to do laundry. On site management and staff go out of their way to make your stay perfect. Food and beverage at the pool was great, especially the ceviche! Very secure and they actually keep an eye out for you. Beach location is perfect! Those sunsets! Sandy beaches, mild waves, and a bit of snorkeling just to the left. Walkable to restaurants in the town. We will definitely return! Don't go to the Westin/W down the way. This is the place you're looking for.
