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.

Great location in Tamarindo for ease of access to the pool and beach! Our family of 4 stayed in July. The pool is steps from the condo’s patio. The beach access is very easy, just across the street from this complex, with a crossing guard to help most of the time. The provided beach chairs made it easy to go and enjoy the beach. There are a few markets to pick up some food if you want to cook a few meals or just have snacks for the pool/beach. The condo itself is large and very comfortable. Plenty of space to hang together or get some quiet time. (The units on the higher floors in this complex have great views of the beach/sunset… but for us the ease of access to the water was preferable, and it’s a very short walk to get the great views on the beach.) Highly recommend this property and the company was easy to work with and great communication.

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.

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!

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.
