Villa Royal

The Villa Royal is amazing! The house is beautiful and comfortable. The staff is excellent and they are maintaining the house and grounds every day. Highly recommend this property and staff. As soon as we left we decided to book the same house for next year too!

Awesome place. The pictures on the AirBNB listing don’t do justice to the view from this house. It is very conveniently located. You can walk to the beach though we drove most of the time. The house mom was awesome and made us a beautiful breakfast each day. The grounds staff and Cris the concierge were both awesome as well.

Kenneth - Posted: 3/24/2025

The house is extraordinary. It’s gorgeous inside and the views are breathtaking. The house is comfortable and exceptionally clean. Cris helped us book transportation to and from airport, zip lines, a boat, and multiple surf lessons. She met us at the house and helped us arrange for a rental car. Everything she helped arrange exceeded our expectations. Wendi the house mom is an exceptional cook and made us breakfast daily. You have to go to the grocery store and find all the ingredients but it’s worth it. Definitely try the beans and rice and get lots of fruit. Her guacamole is the best we’ve ever had. We wouldn’t hesitate to book here again.

Cris and her team did an amazing job helping us with our family vacation! The home was incredible as well. We will be back again!

Mathew - Posted: 2/15/2025

Cris, and her team did an amzing job taking care of us on our family vacation! The home is incredible in a perfect location to experience Tamarindo!

Matt W. - Posted: 2/15/2025

We were a group of 8 (4 couples) and the space couldn’t have worked out better! The views, outdoor spaces with speakers, fully stocked kitchen, cleanliness, and staff service were spectacular. Wendy made the best breakfasts and guacamole and left the house spotless each day! It was so helpful to have Cris book excursions, transportation, and dinner reservations ahead of time. Other than the difficult trek up the hill, our group could not have been more happy with the week here!

Jenny - Posted: 2/8/2025

My family and I stayed here for my birthday and had the most amazing trip! The views were incredible and the house was stunning. Wendy, the house mom, came every morning to make us breakfast and did a fantastic job tidying up every day. Cris helped us book several dinners and activities and did a wonderful job communicating. I would definitely come back in the future!

Alex - Posted: 1/15/2025

Our stay at this Airbnb was absolutely perfect in every way! The views were breathtaking, and the space was ideal—clean, modern, and spacious. The fully stocked kitchen made cooking a breeze, and the climate-controlled rooms ensured we had the best sleep on luxurious beds with soft, comfortable sheets.
The infinity pool was a standout feature and a favorite for our teenage son. The location was unbeatable—private and serene, with views that felt like a dream. We were so glad we chose this spot over staying in town. There were plenty of activities nearby; we booked diving and snorkeling excursions as well as a fishing expedition, all of which added to the adventure.
The attentive hostess and maid service ensured we felt cared for throughout our stay. This property is truly out of this world, and we can’t recommend it enough. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Blair - Posted: 12/21/2024

Villa Royal exceeded (already high) expectations. This is one where the amazing pictures still didn't do the property justice. We would definitely stay there again. Our trip was three couples, and it would be perfect for a girlfriend getaway as well. Everything was immaculate. The amenities and layout of the house and outdoor space was perfect. Our host, Cris, was so helpful and responsive for arranging anything we wanted. For example, you will want a rental car for this property. Golf carts are not allowed and the hill to the property is so steep that walking to/from town/the beach would be very challenging. It is also good to have a car for grocery shopping. Wendy our "house mom" was lovely. The breakfast every morning was outstanding and the guac and salsa snacks in the afternoon were delicious. Wendy kept the Villa so clean. We loved the pool and spent a lot of time in the outdoor space. There is really nothing that could be improved upon-- Villa Royal is perfect!

Kim - Posted: 12/14/2024

Villa Royal was very beautiful and beyond relaxing. Our concierge, Cris was more than helpful. She checked in with us frequently to make sure we were comfortable and happy. She made all of our reservations for excursions, restaurants and even scheduled masseuse's for our couples massages on the balcony. Nolyn, our housekeeper was so sweet. She made us wonderful breakfasts every morning. As for her pancakes, wow ... no joke! The views from almost every room were spectacular. Everything about this home was absolute perfection. We would highly recommend it to anyone!

Yvonne - Posted: 11/9/2024

Our first visit to Costa Rica was everything we hoped it would be. The home was beautiful, well appointed & pristine. The view was breathtaking. This was our first rental that came with concierge service & it will not be our last. Christina was our concierge and was so helpful in arranging tours, making recommendations and just helping us if we couldn’t figure something out. We also had a house helper, Noylin, who kept the home clean and cooked breakfast and made snacks daily. I can’t recommend this team enough. We had great experiences - ATVs, sunset catamaran tour, zip lining, and estuary tour - all recommended and arranged by Christina. When we come back to Costa Rica, we will plan our stay in this home!

Karen - Posted: 10/11/2024

This villa is amazing, it looks just like the photos with breath taking views. Pictures even don’t do it justice.
Cristina was amazing, very responsive, extremely knowledgeable and patient. She made our experience so special.
I 100% recommend staying here.

Shirley - Posted: 10/5/2024

This house is set up high in the mountain overlooking the ocean. It’s peaceful and what you’d expect from a highend beach house.
Cris the concierge was helpful and responsive.
We had spa, private chef and transportation services and all were 5 star worthy.
The walk to the beach is a bit of a calf workout. I’d suggest getting a ride back to the house. The roads are steep.
Also, bring cash for tipping.

Lilly - Posted: 9/29/2024

We stayed for 4 nights during the rainy season and it was amazing! Thw house was beautiful and I booked solely based off the sunsets and it did not disappoint. The weather worked out for all our excursions! Cris was so helpful at planning and organizing any and everything. We did the night market, private boat tour, private chef night, ATVs and private spa day!
Everything was amazing and worth it. By far my favorite vacation ever. We have some many people asking for our itinerary.
My only downside is it’s not very walkable- we got around with Ubers, private vans and a taxi service. I would say stick with the private fans if you can afford to.

Alexis - Posted: 9/23/2024

We had a fabulous stay thank you very much!

Andrea - Posted: 9/11/2024

Sophia - Posted: 8/23/2024

The home is beautiful and the views spectacular! I could’ve stayed at the house everyday but we wanted to explore CR obviously. All four bedrooms have their own bathroom. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms and kitchen are well-equipped. There’s housekeeping daily which was really nice.

Lisa - Posted: 8/10/2024

Thank you for choosing our vacation rental for your recent stay! We truly hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable time. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would love to welcome you back in the future.

Stay in Tamarindo staff

The Conceirge (Cris) and Staff were extremely responsive. Restaurants, shops, and the beach were down the hill from the house. Everything was easily accessible. Cris was extremely helpful and shared great places to dine. She was able to get us into some very popular restaurants on short notice. There are no words or pictures that can describe how beautiful the house is. The views are stunning. Cris was waiting for us when we arrived to personally show us all of the amenities. I will definitely be going back.

Lisa - Posted: 7/13/2024

Thank you for your kind words! It sounds like you had an amazing experience at the house. I'm glad to hear that everything was easily accessible and that Cris was so helpful. The views must have been breathtaking! Can't wait to hear more about your next visit.

Stay in Tamarindo staff

Perfect is the word to describe our stay at Villa Royal in Tamarindo. The house is so gorgeous and well maintained, with unbelievable views. Even during the rainy season we were treated to several beautiful sunsets. Cristina was wonderful and attentive - constantly checking in to make sure everything was ok, and asking what she could do to make sure our stay was great. All the people she suggested (chefs, excursions, etc.) were top notch. Can't say enough about it! Book it.

Jennifer - Posted: 6/30/2024

What all the other reviewers have said is all true. Wonderful house, amazing views, great host, and no surprises. Definitely a place to book!

Wendy's breakfast sounds like a real treat for your vacation. Thank for staying with us. We truly love guests like you!

Stay in Tamarindo staff

Wow! Just wow! Our stay at Villa Royal exceeded our expectations! The pool and the views are breathtaking! Cris was so responsive and super helpful! Wendy our house mom was amazing and so accommodating! She made the best breakfast, drinks, snacks and salsas and guacamole! We were there with our group of 8… several 20 year olds who literally loved the excursions that Cris helped set up! We did the all day excursion with zip lining, waterfalls, tubing, mud baths and hot springs with our all day guide Eddie… he was full of local information! Loved every minute we were there! Also we highly recommend the surfing and ATVs! Oh and the spa experience was NEXT LEVEL… stunning views and amazing services! Just so much fun and so grateful to those who made our stay so wonderful! The native people here in Tamarindo were truly some of the kindest people we have ever met… you can tell they love their beautiful country and life style! We will be back! Pura vida! Xo

Shannon - Posted: 5/24/2024

I'm thrilled to hear about your fantastic experience at Villa Royal! It sounds like you had an incredible time with all the activities and the lovely staff. Cris and Wendy seem like real gems, making sure your stay was top-notch. The excursions and spa experience sound absolutely amazing! It's wonderful to hear about the kindness of the local people in Tamarindo. Can't wait to hear more about your adventures when you come back!

Stay in Tamarindo staff

Near perfection is the only way to describe this property! Cris, the concierge, connected us with top notch excursions, restaurants and a private chef. We were not disappointed one single time! She is very cheerful and responsive to any and all questions! We felt like we were the only guests she was helping.
Wendy, the “house mom”, cooked an incredible breakfast every morning, then mid day snacks and cocktails- probably the best pina colada I’ve ever had!
She cleaned and tidied everyday as if we had just checked in. She’s also incredibly kind and sweet.
Our vacation was the perfect mix of fun activities and relaxing around the incredible infinity pool with hands down the best view in Tamarindo.
Plan on renting a vehicle to get in and out of the neighborhood due to the steep hill.

This is the most INCREDIBLE Airbnb I’ve stayed at. From start to finish, the experience was simply amazing! The house is gorgeous and the location is great. The breakfast service was delicious. The Pool and the view was top notch. The host Cristina, was the best host I’ve ever had. She handled all my request promptly and made me feel in very safe hands. You can tell Cristina is passionate about her job and loves to take care of her guest. Book this airbnb if you have the chance to.

Thank you for taking the time to share your review with us. It's always a delight to hear about our guests' experiences and to know that we were able to contribute to such a memorable vacation. We truly appreciate your kind words and feedback.

Stay in Tamarindo staff

Staying at this Airbnb was an absolute treat!
From the moment we arrived we were in awe! Beautiful spacious home, amazing bathrooms and bedrooms, comfy beds, stunning views from every room and the outside lounge pool area was its very own private oasis with a view that seemed straight out of a postcard!
We spent hours just enjoying everything this home had to offer and the sights and sounds of the many birds, and monkeys.
There is a housekeeper (Wendy) that comes each day. She was so sweet and went above and beyond making our breakfast, drinks, laundry (so we always had fresh towels) and keeping the place immaculate. She made our experience here extra special!
If wanting to venture out you could walk to the beach/town (easy going there but a tough trek back up, water is a must to bring) or drive. There are many restaurants, rental places, and cute shops to explore along with the amazing beach.
This was the nicest place we have ever stayed and hope to come back one day!

Jen - Posted: 5/2/2024

Good Morning Jen, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for taking the time to leave a review of your recent stay with us. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us as we strive to provide exceptional service to all of our guests.

Everything about this house was perfect! The view was breathtaking! We felt safe our entire trip! Wendy was the best part of our stay, her breakfast was 10/10! Then to top it off she made snacks and cocktails all while making sure our house was spotless and clean our whole stay! I for sure recommend this listing for anyone looking into staying in the beautiful Costa Rica!

Samantha - Posted: 4/28/2024

Samantha,
I'm thrilled to hear that you had such an amazing experience at the house in Costa Rica! It sounds like Wendy really went above and beyond to make your stay unforgettable. The view, the safety, the breakfast, snacks, cocktails, and cleanliness - it all sounds fantastic! Thank you for sharing your positive recommendation, it's great to hear such glowing reviews.

Stay in Tamarindo staff

The house was absolute perfection with views that simply cannot be topped! The pictures on the listing do not even capture how beautful! The travel coordinator, Cris, was so helpful in booking activities and answering any and all of our questions along the way. Wendy kept the house in pristine condition while we were out enjoying beaches and activities. Cannot say enough good things!

Stephanie - Posted: 4/2/2024

Having you stay in our vacation rental was a true pleasure! We are super happy you enjoyed your time and stay.

Stay in Tamarindo staff

Our stay at Villa Royal was wonderful! Beautiful house, gorgeous views and super clean!
Wendy, the housekeeper, was amazing…she takes such great care of the house and is a great cook! Great communication with Cris, the concierge, very responsive and friendly. The house is located at the beginning of Tamarindo and very walkable to the busy area. The house is on a steep hill so a car or ATV is definitely needed.

Ingrid - Posted: 2/4/2024

Thank you for your amazing review Ingrid!
We loved having you on our property. Thank you for being such a great renter !! We hope you have ave a wonderful day and hope to see you next time!

Stay in Tamarindo staff

This house was 100% accurate in the description, but it was even better than we imagined. The view was so much better than having a beach front property. Wendy (housekeeper) was the best she cooked us breakfast every day and cleaned up and made sure when we came home after being out every single thing was in order. Laundry was done even though we told her not to worry about it. Location was perfect for us as we rented a van for our week long stay it was just 3 minute drive to grocery stores or restaurants and bars and beach. Out of 20+ vacation rentals over the past few years this was by far the best house we have ever rented for our group of 8 (4 couples)

Paul - Posted: 12/6/2023

Beautiful villa with great service

Daniel - Posted: 11/17/2023

We had an absolutely terrific vacation at Villa Royal! There was plenty of room for the 7 of us at this magnificent home, and we would easily stay here again. There is plenty of space both indoor and outdoor, the kitchen has everything you need and the beds were super comfy. Wendy made us a delicious breakfast every morning which we ate outside while admiring the breathtaking view of the beach and the estuary (we would also highly recommend going on a tour of the estuary!). Wendy also meticulously cleaned the house every day to the point where it looked like no one was living in it. Our stay was truly luxury at its finest!
The walk down to town is steep, but totally doable, and it felt good to earn our drinks and food! If you’d rather not make the walk, it’s really easy (and cheap) to get an Uber.
We would absolutely stay here again and recommend this villa for anyone looking for a luxurious worry-free stay in Tamarindo.

James - Posted: 11/2/2023

1. We would book here again. Support from hosts is outstanding!
2. The property address did not render in Uber. We were able to circumvent this successfully multiple times by requesting an address a few houses away and redirecting the driver, but it took several minutes to figure that out the first time.
3. The Waterfall tour was mixed. The description states it is from 7am-4pm. When we got in the car, our guide said we would return by 6pm. We did not get home until after 8pm. We would have appreciated better communication about the itinerary at the outset and during the tour, once it was clear we would not return by 6pm.
4. We also could have benefited from better instructions on the gear needed. You will be hiking in your shoes. Most aqua socks have soft soles and are not fit for water and land navigation. I was concerned that my aqua socks would not endure the entire hike due to the rocky terrain. I wouls also strongly recommend a dry bag.

Daniel - Posted: 10/16/2023

Wonderful stay in Tamarindo. The view and house are both incredible.

Erik - Posted: 10/10/2023

Emily - Posted: 9/6/2023

This property is even better than anticipated. It was a beautiful, high end villa with the most incredible views you have ever seen. The community was gated so you felt super safe and extremely close to beaches, shopping, great restaurants, etc. The concierge service was so helpful - very responsive, had great recommendations, helped us set up excursions, etc. The home also had daily housekeeping included and she would help prepare breakfast, snacks, do some laundry, etc. I cannot say enough good things about this home and our experience there. Honestly one of our best VRBO experiences EVER and we cannot wait to go back. This home was absolute PERFECTION!

Jackie - Posted: 8/26/2023

If we could rate this property and its hosts more than 5 stars we undoubtedly would! It’s absolutely magical and has been the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica, our only mistake was not staying there longer! Let me start by how friendly and accommodating the hosts are, Adrianna, Cristina, and Christopher. I had an issue with my booking where my bank over-charged me for the transaction due to currency transfer. They were so accommodating to help me find a workaround immediately despite not being obligated to be able to refund the extra charge by the bank. The property itself has a magnificent private Infiniti pool overlooking a magical view over the coast. The house is very well-furnished, styled, & equipped. There is a lovely outdoor terrace with a dining table where we had daily breakfast prepared by Wendy the housekeeper. Wendy was our housekeeper who was very professional & punctual and prepared our breakfast everyday. It is also very well located. Cannot recommend it enough!

We especially appreciated Chef Daniel's (and his staff) cooking and Wendy was such an attentive housekeeper. Thank you so much for making our vacation so special and beautiful.

Edward - Posted: 7/6/2023

The house was modern and clean and looked as in the pics. The kitchen and living room opening to the pool area was a great feature and provided unbelievable views and lots of fun at the pool area. We did have a large number of ants invade the master bedroom on the second floor due to the rain, but we used the extra bedroom available to our group. The gated community offered a feeling of security where it is a only a 5 minute drive into the bars, beach and grocery in Tamarindo. It is a very steep road to the house and walking to the beach/Tamarindo would be difficult. The breakfasts made by our housekeeper were delish, and the concierge service was best in class! (Thank you Cristina). We had a great time and would stay here again.

Shane - Posted: 6/17/2023

We stayed at the villa for my sisters bachelorette weekend and the whole group could not stop admiring how beautiful the home was and what an amazing view we had overlooking the ocean. We also had traditional Costa Rican breakfast prepared by the housekeeper Wendy which further enhanced our stay. We would collectively be happy to return to casa royal, it was hard to leave this little piece of paradise.

Claudia - Posted: 6/5/2023

This house is absolutely beautiful! It was like staying at our own private hotel. The house is perfectly decorated, beds very comfortable and kitchen very well stocked. The added bonus of daily housekeeping was truly amazing. Wendy, the housekeeper keeps the house in pristine condition. The walk to the beach is very close but the hill is very steep! We still managed to walk it daily though! The views and the open concept were breathtaking.Cris, the concierge booked all our restaurants and outings! She was very attentive the entire stay. We booked Adrianna the chef through her as well. I would strongly recommend doing this. It was by far some of the best authentic food we had while in Cost Rica. Her and her husband were so lovely! I would definitely book here again

We booked this property long ago before it was noted on the listing so it was an unwelcome surprise to us. Cris, the concierge booked all our restaurants and outings!

Even while we were there she made our last minute requests a reality. Our large family had plenty of room. The villa was clean and Wendy made sure it stayed that way.

They delivered first class service and arranged for a chef to come and cook several meals for us, massage therapists for much needed massages for the whole group, AND a private catamaran trip where we saw sea turtles and a WHALE!
The property is GORGEOUS and the view cannot be beaten. Do yourself a favor and experience this! TRIP OF A LIFETIME.

Wendy, our housekeeper, made the place look better than the Four Seasons every day, and was a great breakfast chef. Cris, our concierge, was excellent in communication and made sure all of our transportation and events were on point. Pool and backyard are great too. Would 1000% stay here again. Thank you!

Thank you so much Tim, we are so happy to hear you had the best stay and enjoyed the house and its amenities. It is true it has the best location for sunrise and sunsets and as a bonus you have our wonderful Wendy that makes the stay an entire best experience. Glad that Cris was there to organize all the fun part and the best activities in the area! Thank you so much again for recommending us and for staying with us. We look forward to welcome you back very soon. Pura Vida !

Our group of 8 adults had the ultimate vacation at Villa Royal. The house itself is beautiful and has comfortable accommodations for 4 couples. Great views and a fun backyard. What really impressed us was the service from the staff. From booking, to concierge, and housekeeper…they were all amazing. Thank you for an unforgettable time!

BOOK THIS HOUSE! My family and I just spend an amazing week in Tamarindo. The house itself is amazing, the views all day are exceptional and the sunsets each night will blow you away. The house is new and comfortable and has everything you need to relax and entertain. The house is only made better by Cris and her diligent service. She helps arrange anything and everything you could need. Airport transfer, tours, surf lessons, yoga, restaurant reservations - you name it - Cris can help you make it happen. She helped arrange for Angelo, our amazing chef for three nights who created really delicious dinners and was accommodating to every person in our group. We will definitely rebook this home when we come back to Costa Rica! Thank you, Cris!!

This place is great! It’s clean, modern, and is nicer than the photos. We cooked for ourselves several nights in the Villa and the kitchen was great. The rooms were comfortable and the views were stunning. The pool was one of the highlights of our trip. I would highly recommend this place! Also, the concierge service is an awesome plus. They are super responsive and helpful with last minute requests.

Eventually, with everyone singing “heck no we won’t go” I managed to convince my family that we needed to check-out. The hardest thing to do - because we had a truly magnificent time. The house is perfect - great space great location. The town is friendly and real. The team at Vrbo superb, especially our concierge Cris who was ever helpful and always available. Just a special special stay.

Incredible house. Perfect location. Best views. Walking distance to the beach. This is the only place to stay if you're going to Tamarindo! The house is in a gated community with an armed security guard. The hosts are super responsive. Cris, the concierge, is incredible and will set all your reservations and activities. This is a hotel caliber experience.

Matt - Posted: 1/13/2022

The house in a word is magical. amazing views, privacy, beautiful rooms and fantastic pool. You wont want to leave the house and you wont have to. Super close to beach a 2 minute drive down mountain- 10 minute drive to huge supermarket and close to everything in town but nestled away in your own quiet oasis when you want it. Great kitchen for cooking and entertaining- sound system in out of house. pool was perfect and wonderful views from so many different areas. Out group of 9 included children and everyone loved it so much. The house is in a private community and was exceeded all expectations. The pictures don't do it justice. Again- AMAZING

Anthony - Posted: 1/13/2022

Views for miles. You can sit at any spot in the house and just soak in the mountains, the river and the ocean. I don't know of many such places where you can have this beautiful unicorn of a view. Also the inside of the house is super luxurious and beds are comfy and the pool is big enough. It is a lux property, just not labeled such. Things to know: - get a car. Hill is v steep and this house is above the fray of Tamarindo town. Town has great food so you will want to go there. - Be quick to close the doors behind you. beware of the Langosta (look it up ;) it's every where in coastal Costa Rica)

Wonderful home with sweeping views across Playa Grande and the Tamarindo River and surrounding mountains. Great for our family of 4 because the house isn't huge but comfortable. Super convenient to town although you need your own car to go up a steep hill. Property Manager was responsive when we had an AC problem. Exceeded our expectations. The house was the highlight of the stay in the area.

First off, Adriana and Cristina were AMAZING hosts! Every question (and there were many!) was answered quickly and they really helped us to make the most of our trip. They also arranged for COViD testing in our villa - AWESOME! Can't say enough positive things about these two, definite ROCK STARS! As for the property, WOW. Absolutely stunning view and when you open the house up to the pool and view and let the breeze blow in, amazing. Everything was provided that we needed - plenty of towels, cookware, dishes, glasses, all available. Wi-Fi was great and the stereo was an added bonus. We were able to dance all night long out by the pool. Showers were great, excellent pressure and hot water. Outdoor shower got the most use! Beds were very comfortable and each room has it's own dedicated AC unit. Marvelous property, we will be back!
