About this property
Playa Hermosa Vista Villa • 4 BR • Pool & Panorama • Value Getaway • Pet Friendly
Why Guests Love It Guests appreciate Villa Quetzal’s spaciousness and panoramic position — the sense of being in a home built for gathering, with room for everyone, and a view that stays with you. While the décor leans toward classic comfort, the recently updated upholstery and thoughtful layout offer an inviting stay. With Zindis Hospitality behind the scenes, it’s not just a stay — it’s a shared experience made easy.
Set in the quiet enclave of Palo Alto above Playa Hermosa, this villa grants sweeping views of the Pacific while staying within easy reach of beachside cafés, local restaurants, and calm bay waters. The drive from Liberia International Airport (LIR) is approximately 30 minutes, offering convenience for arrival and departure. Here you’ll enjoy panorama, privacy and proximity — the ideal combination for a Costa Rican escape.
Elevated on the hillside of Playa Hermosa, Villa Quetzal offers a generously scaled retreat with four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and space for up to 12 guests — perfect for groups seeking both views and value. The layout and furnishings lean toward comfort over minimalism, giving the home a lived-in, welcoming feel.
Inside you’ll find wide-airy living and dining spaces that open onto a terrace facing expansive ocean views. The pool and balcony become the gathering point for cocktails at sunset and relaxed breakfasts as the day begins. While the home may reflect earlier styling, it has been thoughtfully maintained, with recently re-upholstered furniture and upgrades to ensure comfort and ease.
Despite its hillside position, the beach of Playa Hermosa is a short drive away, making it easy to transition from view-soaking to sand discoveries. With the team at Zindis Hospitality managing the details, your stay is effortlessly handled. Villa Quetzal delivers space, outlook and calm — a blend of coastal luxury and approachable charm.

Great place to stay in a quiet and safe gated community. The home and pool show some signs of normal wear, but overall the property was very nice and we would consider staying there again. The general location and proximity to Playa Hermosa and Playas del Coco is a plus.
Excellent property. It was pretty and had nice pillows. I loved the pool and views. Very close to restaurants and beach. Had a great time with family. Great location.

The location, views, and layout of the house are amazing! This was a great place to gather as a family. One suggestion for improvement would be more comfortable seating.
We had a blast at Villa Quetzal. Communication with Gus and Marilyn was prompt and helpful. The property was as described - great for our group for dining in and lots of pool time.
This property was absolutely perfect and made our vacation "the best of all time" (as quoted by our kids). Gus and Emanuelle were absolutely incredible, so friendly and helpful and just made our stay fun, adventurous and worry-free. This is a must stay!

This location has an amazing view of Playa Hermosa. The sunsets are perfect. The management team also was extremely helpful, especially after I mistakenly left the garage door opener in our rental car!
It was a great house. Easy check in/out great location, amazing view! Ian with the management company was very helpful with anything we needed. He even communicated with me and helped us arrange things well before we arrived.
Absolutely gorgeous house and views from the house are simply amazing!!
Had a great time at the house. Would definitely recommend

Stunning Views; Beautiful Home; Perfect Location.
The Quetzal Villa was perfect. The open family room/kitchen area provided easy access to the infinity pool, which had an absolutely breath-taking view of Playa Hermosa. The bedrooms and bath were well furnished, and quite comfortable. Would recommend to anyone.
Three families stayed at this property and it was very comfortable. Property management and Tico Tours representative very responsive, knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend!

This house was perfect for our family of 11. We enjoyed morning coffee by the pool and a beautiful sunset every night. Communication with Zindi's was top notch.

Outstanding View
A perfect home for 2 families (total 10 people). Spacious and comfortable inside, and the kids spent most of the time in the pool. Clean and well equipped. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back someday.

Sarah,
Thank for your stay and excellent review!

Overall it was great. Really good space for our extended (3 generation) family. Beautiful pool, secure grounds and excellent property management. House is well used, remains very functional and could benefit from some TLC (needs new dishwasher, was no stovetop fan, doors/locks require some minor maintenance). We had an amazing time and very much enjoyed ourselves.
