Costa Rica Coronavirus: How can you enter Costa Rica as a tourist

So what do you have to do to get to Tamarindo, Costa Rica? First, go to www.stayintamarindo.com and pick out your Costa Rica vacation rental home. Then get your tickets and stay healthy!! You’ll also need to:

Fill out the HEALTH PASS form, available at https://salud.go.cr.
Provide a RT-PCR diagnostic test with a negative result. The sample must have been taken within 72 hours of travel.
Passengers coming from the U.S.A. must show through their driver’s license or State ID to prove that you live in one of the authorized states. This requirement excludes children.
Show Traveler’s Medical Insurance – international or purchased in Costa Rica through the National Insurance Institute (Instituto Nacional de Seguros) grupoins.com/seguroparaviajeros, or Sagicor www.sagicor.cr/seguro_para_turistas/.

For international insurance policies, tourists must request a certification in English or Spanish from the insurance company, verifying at least the following three conditions:

Travel to Costa Rica post covid-19

Our local airport, the Daniel Oduber Airport (LIR) in Liberia, is the third terminal in the world to receive the ACI Airport Health Accreditation (AHA) following the Coronavirus pandemic. This airport is just a little more than an hour’s drive from Tamarindo and is the best choice for your post covid Costa Rica Tamarindo vacation.

Our Government immediately instituted social distancing practices at the outset of the Costa Rica corona virus crisis, resulting in a very healthy population. Outbreaks have been contained and medical establishments have been able to treat the patients that have needed their services.

Costa Rica Coronavirus: Cleaning Protocols Stay in Tamarindo

Costa Rica Coronavirus: Sanitized surfaces

We put into place very strict cleaning protocols in all our vacation rental homes

Whereas the Covid 19 shut-down Costa Rica left many people without work, it has kept our housekeepers busy! We clean and sanitize all our Tamarindo vacation rental homes with disinfectants that are chlorine-based and some that are organic. Our favorite is a chemist-recommended disinfectant called ORGANIX which contains a bactericide that comes from grapefruit seeds. It is just as effective as chlorine (which we also use as necessary) but not toxic. We supply hand sanitizer in all our homes, and any of our staff who provide services in homes (cleaning, maintenance, concierge) wear masks.

When your feet hit the ground, we’ll be here ready to guide you through a safe and unforgettably fun time within what Costa Rica refers to as your “bubble.” Your “bubble” is your family or the group of people that you will be sharing your Tamarindo vacation rental home with. Your bubble will have its own transportation, and you will be your own tour group for the activities that we help you arrange. How much would you love to go surfing, or take a surf lesson?! You can go zip-lining, take an ATV tour through the mountains, to horseback riding, or book an afternoon catamaran cruise for your group. Volcano hikes, beach walks, deep sea fishing… all of this and more is here waiting for you to help you celebrate the end of a time of crisis. Health and safety are our first priority. Fun is our second. Contact us today and come celebrate life and health here in Costa Rica!

Property of the Month: Casa de Luz

Casa de Luz oceanfront vacation rental in Tamarindo, Costa Rica

Casa de Luz is the best of many bests: one of the largest private home event venues in Guanacaste, the first solar-powered Tamarindo vacation rental, and more.

Welcome to oceanfront Casa de Luz– the House of Light, Playa Langosta’s luxury jewel, and the most eco-friendly Tamarindo vacation rental.

This solar-powered, on-the-sand, luxury home is the superlative of superlatives: The closest high-capacity Tamarindo vacation rental to downtown. The only beach villa where every sleeping and living space faces the Pacific Ocean and the sunset. The first solar-powered home in the province. One of the largest private home event venues on the Gold Coast. And, one of an exclusive few vacation homes to be fully staffed.

Home to almost every luxury and amenity available in Costa Rica – an oceanfront pool, air-conditioning throughout, a Pacific-view swimming pool, high-speed WiFi, private beach access, and much more – Casa de Luz delivers a vacation, wedding, event, or reunion like no other.

This is a private home, but it’s also part beach resort, part event venue (especially for Tamarindo weddings), and part VIP experience. Casa de Luz represents the ultimate in location, accommodations and service.

Spotlight On: Ibis Condos at the Tamarindo Preserve & Langosta Beach Club

February 13, 2020/0 Comments/in Vacation Rentals in Tamarindo /by Erin Raub

Talk about privileged Tamarindo real estate! All our Ibis Condos vacation homes are 1-minute walk to the beach, overlook the Tamarindo Preserve, and have full membership to the Langosta Beach Club.

For most homes, an address goes something like “### Mountain View Ln.”

At Ibis Condominiums, it looks more like, “the exclusive gated community at the crossroads of the Tamarindo Preserve and the Langosta Beach Club.”

Granted, that’s partly due to Costa Rica’s famed absence of bonafide street addresses. But, it’s mostly because it’s such an apt description: Ibis Condos rise from some of the most privileged Tamarindo real estate, under 100 meters to the Pacific, overlooking a 650-acre nature conservancy, and across the way from the Langosta Beach Club (to which you’ll have access).

And we have all 10 exclusive condos available as vacation homes for rent.

The Best Places to Stay in Tamarindo: 10 of Our Favorites

January 30, 2020/0 Comments/in Vacation Rentals in Tamarindo /by Erin Raub

There are so many ways you could define the best places to stay in Tamarindo. We’ve based our list on 10 of them. (And yes, this view is one of those reasons!)

We have a philosophy. A motto, if you will. It goes like this: While everyday life may require compromise, vacation should be the one time of year you can have it all. This should be the one time that you don’t have to settle, don’t have to sacrifice this for that – the time to insist on your wish list and revel in everything you want, no compromise required.

Indeed, this is the time to seek out the best places to stay in Tamarindo and to reserve the one that strums at your heart strings. Because this is your time. That’s our philosophy and we’re sticking to it.

And so, with that in mind, we thought we’d highlight a few of our favorite homes and communities in Tamarindo. And by that, we mean Greater Tamarindo – specifically, downtown, Playa Langosta, and Hacienda Pinilla. (We’ll cover Playa Flamingo in a later post, promise!)

In no particular order:

Property of the Month: Conchal Penthouse

October 10, 2019/0 Comments/in Vacation Rentals in Tamarindo /by Erin Raub

You are here. Here, in paradise. Here, with a drink in your hand. Here, overlooking the famously pink Playa Conchal. Here, at our Conchal Penthouse. Here, exactly where you want to be. Welcome!

Imagine with us, if you will, a private ocean-view terrace, still warm from languid rays of afternoon sun. Adirondack chairs beckon the perfect posture of partial recline, partial view-appreciation. Because oh, that view.

Unfolding over Colonial-style red roofs and dense tree canopy, the vista rolls and tumbles toward the Pacific Ocean. And, there – endless blue, punctuated by the occasional sailboat and island. This view – it’s all yours.

Because it’s you on that still warm, ocean-view terrace. You, in that Adirondack chair. You, appreciating that view. You, here. You, in paradise.

Because you have claimed Conchal Penthouse as your own.

Casa Shambala is the kind of place where you have to blink. A few times. Maybe, pinch yourself?

A hyperbole of vacation imagination.

Only here, it’s real.
