Pura Vida spring break

The property and location was perfect for our family of five (including 3 teenagers)! Plenty of space to stretch out but a great table for us to come together to play cards at night. The pool right outside our door was perfect (hello swim up bar!) and the resort was walkable to all our dinners. I’d highly recommend!

Overall Enjoyed our Stay!

We had a great time at this condo. The location is very good and the pool was not crowded and provided a great respite for the hot season. Having small children, it was a bit tough crossing a busy street to access the beach, and we did have an issue with one of the toilets upon our arrival. After leaving, we were also charged for cups at the condo that we did not take with us, and upon booking, it was not overly clear that we would be paying extra for a crib which was listed as an amenity. We did enjoy our time here but found some of those challenges to limit my opinion of this place.

We had an amazing spring break in Tamarindo. The condo was beautiful and perfect for our family of five. We loved the swim up pool and the close proximity to town and the beach. We were able to walk everywhere. The resort was also a perfect location for a multi family vacation.

We booked this home for two families, eight people total and it was not a letdown!! Beautiful home that was well stocked throughout, this place was a hit with everyone. You have full access to the massive pool with a swim up bar, and the beach is just across the street. Plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance as well! Highly recommend!!!

Great location with access to everything

This was an excellent property with access to everything. It was a comfortable condo that had access to the beachfront resort amenities. Kelly and Olber at Bluezone Properties were so responsive and attentive. We were only in country for a short time and they scheduled many of our excursions and transportation. Everything was top notch.

Great place for family, close to town

This was a great stay and we loved the location of the condo. We had a few challenges (our key cards weren’t activated, the battery on the safe died) and communication with property manager took about 24 hours, which is generally fine (but was frustrating when our wallets and cash were trapped in the safe). Condo itself was amazing: plenty of bathrooms, bedrooms, and great AC. Generally, great stay and would stay again.

Family trip to CR

This was my first time to Costa Rica. Took a group of 8 that were from teenage to 80. I knew we weren’t gonna change locations or travel the country. We wanted a home base where we could enjoy the ocean and relax.This condo was absolutely amazing. We spent a week switching off between the pool and ocean (which was extremely close). The condo was huge, had plenty of sleeping room, the AC was amaaaaazzziinnnggg. If you’re on the fence about this place …. Let me help you … it was fantastic. The pool was 80’ out the back door, iguanas, monkeys in the trees, swim up bar, I could go on but I won’t.

Good times.

Very clean and well appointed. Excellent location to the pool, beach, shops and restaurants. Check-in was a bit of a problem in that the link we got took us to a gate that was closed due to construction. We had directions to the office where they gave us an alternative entrance.

Great location and updated condo!

We LOVED this property. The location and view is amazing. The condo is huge and the AC worked incredibly (important to us). The condo wasn’t the cleanest (mostly under the beds etc) but we got there early and may have rushed them a little. A little pricy but seemingly worth Jt!

Great for all ages

We really enjoyed the space and the proximity this condo was to everything we would need while visiting Tamarindo. The beach was close and it was really nice to have beach chairs and towels to use. The condo is walking distance to a grocery mart and many restaurants and shops. We were there with our 4 boys and an aunt. Plenty to do for everyone. We loved it!

Wonderful property. Check in was a little difficult we booked transportation to the Dira resort months in advance then got a link a couple of days before the trip with coordinates to the condo. Our driver had a hard time finding the condo entrance. We only know a small amount of Spanish so I ended up just having to give the driver my phone to find the place. There isn’t a sign outside of the condo gate or anything so that was also confusing on if we were at the right place. Besides that everything was great. Clean, spacious, right by the pool and within walking distance of everything. Well stocked with things we needed. The kids loved it.

Great place to stay in Tamarindo!

My husband and I really enjoyed staying here at this condo. The location was ideal. It is close to everything in the cute beach town of Tamarindo. You are walking distance to great restaurants and the beach. The condo is also located next to the pool which had music and a swim up bar. The property management company was extremely helpful and professional. We booked excursions with them which were excellent. I would highly recommend the ATV one because it took you to other areas close by that were beautiful. The only small thing the condo didn’t have was bar soap, shampoo or cooking condiments like salt and pepper. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything else. There is a store walking distance. Overall it was a great place to stay- very spacious and clean.
