Fantastic stay...YOU WILL LOVE IT!!
Joel was there upon our arrival and took care of all our needs! The house never disappoints and we absolutely loved our stay. We grilled on the bbq, cooked on the stovetop or went out to eat in nearby Tamarindo and surrounding areas. I can't say enough good things about staying at Villa Nalu!

Outstanding
From the moment we arrived, the feeling of peace was overwhelming! The palms, the decor, the beauty of the place can not be overstated. You’ll love it here and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay while in Costa Rica!
The house is so nice and very clean. We loved the outdoor showers, the beautiful pool and the housekeeper. We were so excited when a large group of howler monkeys visited the tree in the backyard on our last day. Overall great property!

We all enjoyed our time at Villa Nalu. The home’s layout was perfect for whole group gatherings while offering privacy when desired. The golf cart made getting around the community very fun and was a highlight for the children. The beaches were beautiful and nearly empty. Our stay in Costa Rica was very memorable.

Had a wonderful time in Costa Rica, and this property was great. Bring your mountain bike if you can, lots of bike trails, or rent one. There are plenty of beaches close by. The property itself, is great. Lots of space, and it's wonderfully decorated, and laid out. I highly recommend this property.

FANTASTIC
THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!!! We had such a great time and I can't say enough good things about Villa Nalu. This place is tucked back into the foliage, surrounded by beautiful trees, palms and fronds...so cool. Not to mention, the house is super private with the golf course behind and mature trees on either side. Families and friends will love this place!
Super fun week! Good communication with Joel the whole way thru. House cleaned everyday. Outdoor space was amazing. Our family had a fabulous time.

Incredible Home
We really enjoyed our stay in Tamarindo. Whenever we needed something, Joel was always just a phone call away. The house had so many amenities, our group of 8 had a really comfortable week’s stay here in the home, even with monkeys playing in the trees above us as we cooled off in the pool. You will not regret staying here!
