The private beach, pool, and spacious suites added to the perfect vacation experience.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
Our family of 23 had the most fabulous vacation after Christmas at Villa Tamarindo (Encantada) in Costa Rica. The house was ideal, as we had more than enough bedrooms to accommodate all of us very comfortably. The owners, Eugene and Sary, were helpful in every way possible, and Aaron, the chef, provided meals that were absolute perfection. We enjoyed three meals a day and everyone- from age 2 to 80-was happy and excited for each delicious, fresh and healthy meal. The large "Rancho" was the perfect gathering place for cornhole, games, music TV and dining, The concierge service through Stay at Tamarindo was spot on and all our excursions (and there were many) were wonderful. Costa Rica is a beautiful place with friendly people and we can't wait to return.
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2024
Our family of 21 had an amazing week at Villa Encantada (also know as Villa Tranquila). Elsa, Eugene and Sary were great to work with. They all did everything possible to make sure we had a fantastic vacation! What a treat to have a personal chef that prepared such wonderful meals! All of the bedrooms were clean, spacious and very comfortable. A real highlight of the house was the huge pool that we all enjoyed. One unexpected bonus was that the pickleball courts were only a few minute’s walk from the house. There was strong WIFI all over the huge house. We highly recommend this Villa!
