Beautiful location steps from pool and beach. And I can’t say enough about the management /concierge service of the Palms in general. They set it up where you can text them and they respond very quickly. They even went out of their way to coordinate mailing me an item my son left. Would rec this place.

Just an idyllic setting for the perfect beach side vacation.The condo was immaculately clean, and very well furnished.Amazing sunset views and the fantastic staff, who were very friendly and attentive, made our stay unforgettable. We spent lots of time around the pristine pools, which were just steps from the beach.Our host, Carlos, did an incredible job of making sure the condo was stocked with everything we could need, including some nice extra welcoming treats.We cooked breakfast every morning and enjoyed coffee on the balcony, he even provides a coffee maker upstairs as well.Overall, we would highly recommend this incredible condo and hope to be back one day!

Beautiful place on Flamingo Beach. We went in October, during our kids' fall break, not realizing it was low season. It was pouring rain when we arrived and I was worried it would rain all week, *but* it was clear the next morning and we had a wonderful time. The weather did not negatively impact our plans. We even went zip-lining in the rain one day. The property is impeccably maintained by the staff, who are always cleaning and tending to the lawn, gardens and pool. The concierge was friendly and welcoming. We spent a day at Diamante, about an hour away, and did the ziplines there, which I would recommend. We also did a half-day waterfall hike at La Leona, which was very fun, and spent another day at Rincon de la Vieja, where we did the zip lines, tubing and hot springs. Awesome activity for our family. Gorgeous national park. Since October is less busy, the pool bar was closed, but you can get drinks at Coco Loco or make them yourselves, like we did. Some of the details in the welcome email from the concierge don't apply this time of year (no welcome cocktail, pastry truck, fresh seafood truck, or activity schedule, as the email mentioned), but it was nice that things were not crowded and we had a wonderful experience. I would definitely return, maybe even in October.

Great Location and Amenities

The property was clean, spacious, and included everything we needed during our stay. Location is excellent with the pools and beach steps away which were never crowded. The grounds are perfectly maintained; beach area is pristine. We enjoyed the room service and proximity of Coco Loco as well. The Palms concierge was responsive and attentive throughout our stay.

Amazing

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Carlos's villa, Just beautiful and the kitchen equipped with everything!! Best part was walking out onto the beautiful lawn to pools and beach...right there! Very uncrowded both pool and beach. Massages on beach amazing. We will definitely come back and bring our daughters next time!!

Perfect in every way

We spent several nights at Casa Chocolate and we just loved it. The location is amazing as it's right on the beach. The villa itself is fully stocked with high end furnishings and amenities. The personal concierge was there to help with anything we needed. The AC worked perfectly, the bed was incredibly comfortable, the pools were great and the gym had just what you need. Waking up and taking long walks on the beach in the mornings were a great way to start the day. They had a kayak for us to use whenever we wanted. We stocked our fridge on the way into town for our breakfasts and had lunches at the little place on the beach right next to the development. We drove to a few great Italian spots for dinner and really enjoyed our trip. As I have family who lives in Costa Rica I will be staying here again and highly recommend it.

Good vibes, chill spot, good home base

Really enjoyed this property. chill beach, not super long but good for walks; it's remote in the sense of being chill but plenty of really good restaurants locally; definitely get the golf cart if you don't have a car. The concierge staff are first rate in terms of texting and helping with any requests and recommendations. Anthony the pool bartender is great, cranks out the smoothies for the kids and cocktails for us - place embodies the pura vida spirity. Condo had all the amenities needed, beautiful king size master with walk out balcony - deck. My only critique is that people "save" oceanside chairs by going out in the morning putting stuff on them whether or not they are using them. and then one time, someone threw my kids stuff off the chair and said "we have been here all day" - so the chair situation is tedious at times but the grounds guys will help you find a spot - I would just say general guest etiquette around it could be better.

Perfection at The Palms

The Palms is absolutely one of the nicest, most relaxing, and beautiful beach properties. The condo we stayed in was perfect for our family of 5. Fully stocked with anything you would need and beautifully decorated. The owner was fantastic to work with and all the staff here at The Palms are wonderful. We loved the restaurants nearby and highly recommend booking a sunset cruise with Manta Ray while you are here. Perfect week here in Costa Rica!

BEAUTIFUL VILLA ON A FANTASTIC BEACH

We had a great time at Carlos' villa. It has all the comforts of home and is loving taken care of by the owner Carlos and The Palms staff. What I really loved was the fact that even though we were there over one of the busiest weeks of the year, we never felt we were smashed into a crowded resort. We had no problems finding lounge chairs. At other resorts, we would get up early and have to stake out a spot. That was not necessary here. There was enough room to spread out and play our multiple beach and pool games. We could even play frisbee without feeling we would hit or run into someone. We took advantage of filling out the pre arrival form. It was great to have drinks and food there upon our arrival. The woman who does the shopping for you was our favorite among the staff. Having boogie boards and paddle boards for free use was a bonus. The waves were a blast! We enjoyed the beautiful beach and amazing pool so much that nobody wanted to leave and go outside of the resort. I regret a little that we didn't do one more excursion...but we felt so relaxed and at home at The Palms that is was hard to leave. If you like to play tennis there is actually a decent tennis court at a resort down the beach. For a small fee you can hit a few balls in the early morning or early evening shade. Thanks for letting us stay at your place Carlos! The kids enjoyed your chocolate. They had so much fun taste testing the treats you left for us. Also, thanks for being so helpful and patient answering my millions of questions. Stay here, you will love it!!!

An absolute Gem

Staying at The Palms has been our best family vacation yet. The property is a perfect balance of casual and relaxed with 5 star amenities. The staff are all fantastic. The on-site food is great. The villas are beautiful and 30 seconds from the beach. Also, the rental dealings with Carlos were great. We will return and highly recommend Casa Chocolate at The Palms!

Amazing stay at Casa Chocolate at the Palms!

We would highly recommend Casa Chocolate Villa #22 at the Palms. The villa is beautifully decorated and very spacious. The staff at the Palms are extremely friendly and very accommodating. The property felt very safe and was maticulously maintained. The beach is just steps away and gorgeous. The Palms is at the southern end of Playa Flamingo Beach which is about a mile long and very quiet. It’s great for walking, running, or playing in the waves. There are a handful of restaurants within walking distance, which is nice if you just want to stay near the villa and relax. We definitely hope to go back!
