About this villa rental
Take your family, friends or colleagues on a vacation that they will always remember and cherish at The Malinche Palace.
The Malinche Palace is an astonishing villa designed by the world-famous architect Víctor Cañas, who is known for his contemporary style and utile approach to architecture.
The villa is located in Playa Ocotal on the top of a hill, giving it a truly breathtaking panoramic view of the beach, the ocean, and the stunning mountains and surrounding jungle of Costa Rica. With that, the house is still only 8 minutes walk from the beach, accessed by your own staircase. Additionally, the property is 6 minutes drive from the Playas Coco Downtown, as well as only 32 minutes away from the Liberia Airport.
The house’s design gracefully blurs the line between indoor/outdoor living, with floor to ceiling glass, picture windows, and open areas. This open feel creates an atmosphere of tranquility and connection with nature, while still allowing complete privacy in each guest room.
The property has eight air-conditioned bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, with a total of ten king beds. Each bedroom has its own spirit and style, giving each guest a unique and luxurious experience during their stay.
The detached casita is cliffside with a world-class ocean view, master suite, luxury bathroom, and private balcony.
Adjoining the main house is a two-story apartment with two upstairs bedrooms, a separate kitchenette, and dining area.
The Malinche Palace is ideally suited for family members of all ages, a couple’s retreat, corporate getaways, or the perfect destination wedding.
Overall, the house is estimated to fit 20 people, and if needed, the couches and air mattresses can be used to accommodate up to 30 people.
A spacious common area connects the main kitchen and BBQ area allowing your loved ones to truly enjoy each other’s company while being surrounded by the beauty of Costa Rica.
After a day at the beach, for a cozy night in, spend your evening in the movie room complete with TV, comfy couches, and a fully operating movie theatre. Or, spend your evening watching a beautiful sunset and the ocean view straight from the private pool while drinking a cold drink, then finish your day with a snuggle in the Jacuzzi.
The Malinche Palace also has an ample green area allowing you to do yoga, read, and lounge while enjoying the beautiful garden.
One of our most popular requests is our chef service, available upon request for an additional charge, allowing you to fully enjoy the taste of Costa Rica.
Our discerning guests are also pleased to learn that solar panels provide a large portion of the power used for greater sustainability as we help to preserve the natural beauty of our enchanting land.
With the utmost thought and care given in creating The Malinche Palace, there are far too many delightful surprises and amenities to list here!

Julia went over and beyond answering all my questions (tons) to help facilitate a group of 19 women on a Pilates retreat. She even provided 19 mats for us so no one had to travel with them. There are always glitches and issues that arise on any trip; it’s not about being problem free, it’s about how problems are handled. She was professional and caring and the staff was fantastic and a pleasure to work with. The location was also great. Easy walk to restaurant on beach and we were even able to walk to nearby Monkey Farm for horseback riding on the beach. If you go for that activity go for the later ride… the most spectacular sunset on the beach while on horseback was an incredible experience. I look forward to returning with another group and highly recommended

All our family rated this as one of the best vacations we've had so far. The property was as advertised with unbeatable views and near proximity to several local beaches. Everyone, particularly the kids, enjoyed jumping into the pool anytime and walking to a beach every day. The house had a well-stocked kitchen, outdoor kitchen with grill/burners, and with plenty of dishes, pots/pan, utensils even for serving/preparing meals for a crew of 18. The catered meals we had were generally well prepared and promptly delivered. We had rental cars making it very convenient each day to go to the local town Coco for groceries and supplies. Getting to nearby tourist activities and LIR airport was also easy and not an issue. The layout of the house has "open" living/common areas, so it is necessary to keep food secured as the wildlife (birds) are extremely opportunistic. There were a few maintenance issues with the house but Julia, the host, was always promptly responsive and great to work with. She and her staff, provided top-notch, friendly service whenever needed. While the house is situated in a nice area, there is a busy traffic road below (with some construction nearby). During certain times of the day (morning, evening) it does get noisy from traffic and mixed in with the wildlife (birds/monkeys etc.). But most hours were generally peaceful. I would recommend this property for a large group get together for a comfortable, relaxing good time.

Everything about the property was amazing. Julia was very easy to work with and extremely responsive to all of our questions and requests. Andre was amazing to work with as well with the tours and knowledge of the area. The views were top notch. We would definitely rent this property again.

We came with a large group and needed all 8 bedrooms. The house is amazing with the open air floor plan making it ideal for gathering together and hanging out around the kitchen and pool.Julia was great (friendly and professional) and was available for anything we needed. We had an issue with a couple rooms air conditioning not working well when we got there, but Julia had someone at the house within 30 minutes and the problem was solved and the ac was working great.The cleaning crew, led by Gloria, was friendly and did a great job daily of keeping the place clean and tidy. They do not speak much English, but can use translator app if there is any need. We had a friend who was fluent, so he did most of the communicating for us:)The house is in a great spot and within a 10 minute walk to the beach. We were able to charter a catamaran through Julia and they picked us up right on the beach. We also had massages at the home setup and they were great as well.Father Rooster is a close and convenient restaurant nearby with great food and drink and an unbelievable location for views.Would highly recommend and we would stay again for sure!
