Tim & Roberto were extremely responsive and made our stay as enjoyable as possible. The house and location exceeded expectations. Highly recommend!

The house worked great for our family reunion of 12. Plenty of rooms for us to spread out in. The property manager, Roberto was great to communicate with and gave recommendations including an excellent chef to come to the house for a special Anniversary dinner for my husband and I to enjoy with our family and also for a few in our group to take a horseback ride with the horses brought right to the community gates! Maria was just amazing taking care of the house, even doing laundry everyday such a plus and very appreciated!! The kitchen could use update of cooking supplies and having enough tableware for a large group, but other than that really great house and would recommend for large group staying in the area!

This was our 1st time in Costa Rica, a group of 15 men/woman ages 24- 35, and it couldn’t have been a better vacation. From start to finish, I cannot express enough how amazing this house was, the pictures do not do it justice. Everyone had their own bed/space, the bottom floor had enough room for everyone to hang out as well. Roberto was incredibly helpful throughout the process. He provided us with transportation with Eddy Transport, who showed up on time every time we needed him. We had Chef Denis, and Mel come to the house a couple of nights for dinner, and the food was amazing. I'd recommend going with the surf/turf or the pineapple chicken! We were celebrating a 30th bday and he went out of his way to get us a birthday cake and candles. Maria who came every morning and cleaned the house was super friendly and extremely helpful. Roberto scheduled different tours for us so we didn’t have to worry about anything. The ocean right out your backdoor was something out of a movie. Almost every night we watched the sunset and surfer surf right in front of us. Some of the girls had massages on the 2nd balcony while listening to the ocean in the background. About 25 steps away from the house, we had the pool which was very big and spent some hours in the pool. There is a bar at the pool where we were able to get drinks as well, the restaurant at the pool was closed due to renovation but we still enjoyed the pool area. If you are looking to stay here, I would highly recommend this.

We had a great stay to celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday. We stayed for 9 nights and had a total of 13 people, but not all of them were there at the same time. House is definitely big enough for a lot of people. Roberto was very accommodating with my baby requests, and was always very easy to get ahold of while we were there. Maria (housekeeper) is very sweet and was there almost every day. Community and pool was awesome. Felt very safe. The beach bar has great food and service. The ocean by the house is no joke, so if you’re not a very experienced surfer you’ll probably not be able to get in. We were a little surprised the kitchen did not have anything, besides a small salt shaker. So we literally had to buy everything, then throw out everything we hadn’t consumed. Also, there is no dishwasher. I know…first world problems haha! It wasn’t a big deal, as we had services from Chef Pablo for a few meals, and we bought disposable plates/cups. My kids enjoyed hanging out with the cats who were always by house, and the other wildlife. We saw frogs, iguanas, squirrels, a bat, and lots od bugs.

This was our 10th annual Family vacation and we decided to go outside the USA for the first time as a family. The experience set a new high bar for our family. Roberto was so nice and helpful in setting up transpo

Tim, Roberto and Maria were very available and helpful. The home was comfortable for all sixteen of us. We had a great time at a great place! The property has access to a nice pool with a very good restaurant. The surfers were exciting to watch right from our patio. It was a fabulous experience.

This property is awesome! The owner, Tim, is great to deal with and the property manager, Roberto, is so attentive and friendly and will move mountains to get what you need. Roberto’s recommendations for activities and travel arrangements were perfect and much appreciated, the one time we arranged our own activity we winded up with not such a great experience (lesson learned!). We arranged for groceries to be delivered prior to arrival using Roberto’s suggestion (JacoFresh.com) and it was the best decision ever. When we arrived, not only were the groceries there, they were already put away for us! The house also comes with a housekeeper who kept the place very clean, and did our laundry every day, which was a great bonus. The community is gated and very secure, there is security walking along the beach 24 hours a day. There is a community pool (3 houses away from this house) which has a pool bar owned and operated by Yoyo, who makes the experience that much more wonderful (just make sure you order your drinks clearly, we ordered a drink and told them the house number we were in (#3) and winded up getting 3 of the same drink…not that we had any issue drinking all of them!). The food at Yoyo’s was very good and is a great place to eat lunch. We hired a chef for most of our breakfasts and dinners from thecostaricachef.com, another wonderful choice we made. The owner, Chef Pablo, was easy to communicate with and arranged all the times and meals with us prior to arrival, then assigned us Chef Jose for the duration of our trip….his cooking was so good the kids were eating things they would never eat at home, without any complaints. They loved his food, as did the adults, and we didn’t have to worry about getting ready to go out, which allowed us to relax at night. We ordered pizza one night from another suggested place by Roberto, which was very good. For those with little children, keep in mind that this is the Pacific side and has much larger waves and stronger rip tides. We could only go in the water at low tide and still kept it pretty shallow to be safe due to the strong current. It’s great if you want to try surfing though, the older teenage boys rented surf boards and were able to do that one day which was fun to watch. If you are going to Costa Rica and plan to stay near Jaco, you should definitely try to rent this place, you will not regret it!

The house was better than described. Everyone had the same reaction when walking through the front door. Wow! You can see the ocean waves clearly through the glass back doors. Beds were comfy. Cleaning service was so efficient and helpful. Roberto the manager was so insightful and easy to get a hold of. He helped us with making excursions happen and hiring a chef for a family meal. It was like having a concierge nearby. YoYo's poolside bar was a great part of the stay. We could walk over and buy coffee from the little coffee shop or have lunch or dinner with cocktails just steps away from the house. It was difficult to get Uber drivers to come to this community but the taxi service was available however somewhat more costly than the ubers. House is about 15 minutes from Jaco restaurants and shopping. Some of us got surf lessons from Jeffrey, a contact of Roberto's and meeting him was truly a highlight of this wedding trip. Truly a beautiful soul and a great teacher. He picked us up and dropped us off after each lesson. We highly recommend staying in Hermosa Palms. This house is truly a treat! Thank you Roberto, Maria, Chef Dennis and Tim for making our stay so wonderful!
