50th Birthday

We had an excellent time. Had a pet Pedro the giant iguana that lives in the large tree and would come to visit the pool and greeted us upon arrival. House was amazing and pool was even better. Definitely a highlight of the trip.

Lovely villa

My review is late, we stayed Nov 2022. We loved our stay here. Everything was clean and just as advertised in the listing. The management team was great upon arrival and very easy to get a hold of for needed help. We loved Playa Hermosa - what a beautiful beach! - and the restaurants in the town! We did go in rainy season and it could be a little chilly - we wish we would have had more hot water, the showers were always luke warm which I imagine in the warmer months isn't an issue.

Epic Vacation

We chose Ilan Ilan for an epic vacation with our five children and partners. This house and hospitality of the Zindis team exceeded every expectation. Location: the house sits just up the hill from Playa Hermosa (spectacular beach) and is walkable should you be so bold as to walk back up the hill. The town is great and has most of what you need. The house is just a 10 minute drive from Coco which has Auto Mercado (Whole Foods of CR) allowing you to get the rest. The Zindis concierge, Bryan, met us at our house and helped us plan our itinerary. This allowed for us to lean on local knowledge of the area and he helped us pick perfect excursions, all of which were within 90 minutes drive. The property: wonderful. We spent hours just sitting in the pool looking over Playa Hermosa. The Sunsets were spectacular and the indoor/outdoor nature of the west facing property was so great. We spotted 15 different types of birds and several large iguanas (the largest was a bright green dude they've named "Pedro"). The street backs up to a jungle and it feels that way - so cool. The House: Impeccable. The house is big but not overwhelming, allowing everyone their space but great common areas for hanging out. We had 9 people with three couples and three teenagers and it perfectly accommodated us. When we polled the family as to what was their favorite part of the trip (we did incredible things) three people said "the house." This entire experience was a 10/10. I could not recommend it more.

Great Location and Wonderful View

The location was perfect. We loved the pool and the breath taking view. We had Chef Gerson come in to cook for us and he and his wife were wonderful. We loved Roberto's for lunch and dinner and as a place to set up on the beach. The house and pool were wonderful and we felt very safe. Milena was always quick to help if we needed anything.

Amazing time in Playa Hermosa

Casa Ilan Ilan is a fantastic property and our group of 11 had a wonderful stay. The house is equipped with everything you need to have a stress free vacation and the layout is extemely accomodating for a large party. The view from the pool was beautiful and our group ate most meals out on the patio. We will definately be back!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

1st time visiting Costa Rica and Zindis Group made our booking and planning very easy for us. The house was perfect. The views and the pool were wonderful. The property was extremely clean. The location couldn't have been better. Close to the beaches (Playa Hermosa was our favorite), close to the airport, excursions, and waterfalls WE WILL BE BACK!!!

Perfect Vacay!

The house and pool are gorgeous and the view is even better than the pics. We enjoyed beautiful sunsets in the infinity pool. An adorable 4 foot long lizard visited us a few times--we have great video of him drinking from the pool! The beaches and restaurants were wonderful. We plan to return next year! Thank you for amazing memories. : )

Playa Hermosa house

We loved our stay at Ilan Ilan. The view was spectacular and the location was convenient. Having a car was definitely a plus. You could manage without one but we used it everyday to go to the beach or to dinner. The steep climb up the hill to the house would have been tough on foot. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful home, great property management!

We had a large group getting together for the week, ages 5-70+ and this location was great. Every room was an en-suite, and the King bedroom on ground floor was great for my mother-in-law to avoid stairs. Everything was as described, pool was pristine, AC all worked and great kitchen to gather and cook in. The house is towards the top of a hill, buy transportation is always happy to come to the door. Everyone felt very safe the entire time and on-site Zindis management was great, super responsive and helped with ideas for our stay, dining, etc.

Unbelievable experience! Highly recommend Casa Ilan Ilan

Loved Casa Ilan Ilan. My group of 8 had a tremendous experience with this house and the staff here in Playa Hermosa. The views are just out of this world from the house, the location is convenient to some great restaurants, beaches, and shops. All activities provided through Tico Tours were amazing, from zip lining to whitewater rafting, catamaran, canopy tours, and ATVs. This was a perfect vacation and this was a perfect house. Couldn't be happier with our decision to stay at Casa Ilan Ilan. Zindis Group was absolutely fabulous to work with from booking to departure. Thank you!!

Best Place in Costa Rica

From the time we booked this beautiful home the service was spot on. Every question was answered in a very timely manner as well as booking activities ahead of arrival and after arrival. All expectations were exceeded including the house location, cleanliness, supplies and timeliness of all booked services (and we had a lot). Ian was above and beyond accommodating with extras we added on after arrival. Trash was picked up on a timely basis and pool cleaned daily very early in the am before sunrise. We absolutely loved this property’s location to restaurants, beaches and shopping. Thank you Zindis

A week in paradise

Just spent a fabulous week at Casa Ilan Ilan. This was our third trip to Costa Rica, and we rate it the best. The home was fabulously furnished with the latest appliances and all the bells and whistles. The 4 bedrooms each had their own bathroom and opened to the length of the house balcony. The outside area is awesome. Facing the ocean half way up the mountainside, there is a large covered seating area next to the ample sized infinity pool with a grassy area to sit at and enjoy the sunset. Eating, groceries, restaurants and beach are just down the hillside and makes for an enjoyable and adventurous daily walk. We hope to return back to the same spot for years to come.

Exceptional House and Location

Casa Ilan Ilan is better than pictured. The house was perfectly clean and well appointed in every way (down to tissue boxes and pump hand soaps in bathrooms). Air conditioners worked well. Didn't see any critters inside the house (of great importance to a few of our traveling party). The pool is awesome, especially if you have little ones as the shallow entry area is relatively big. Playa Hermosa was an excellent location if you want a bit more of the off the beaten path location. Slightly bigger Playa Coco area with its grocery store, restaurants, touristy shops, etc. is a curvy 15 minutes down the road. We stayed during the 3 week "Little Summer" in July and had NO rain. Absolutely loved Costa Rica and will definitely be back.

Beautiful House on a (Very Steep) Hill

We had a lovely time at Casa Ilan Ilan! The pool and the views alone made our time there magical. The bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen and dining area was easy to use and inviting, and the staff was responsive and helpful. The house is on top of a steep hill that gave us our daily workout but is about a 10 minute walk to a grocery store and 20 minute walk to the beach. There were a few nice restaurants within walking distance as well. On the last day we found a scorpion in the bathroom; not sure how that got there! Other than that the house was free of creepy crawlies.:) Finally, the Zindis group helped with arranging a transfer from the airport to the house and also transport between the house and a tour we went on. Made it very convenient! Would highly recommend.

Best Vacation Rental!

My stay at Casa Ilan Ilan was nothing short of magical. From the very moment I walked in, I felt right at home. The tasteful decor coupled with the magical views were unparalleled. The rooms were so spacious and all had a private bathroom. Tons of closet space too! When we arrived there were lovely towel/flower presentations on the beds - a very nice and welcoming touch. The house is air tight, so no need to worry about little critters getting inside. Each room has a beautiful view of the spacious outdoor patio - which has a perfect view of the beach. Everyday we watched the sunset from the deck - truly magical. There is an outdoor dining area complete with a grill. The pool is great and we spent so much time just relaxing and taking in the beautiful views. The staff at Hermosa Heights is great and are very helpful. Bonus that there is a movie theater and great little restaurant right at the bottom of the hill. There is also a small supermarket just down the road with all the necessities. My time at Casa Ilan Ilan was truly unforgettable and I can't wait to come back again!!!
