January respite
We live in Minnesota so it was great to get away in mid-January to 85 degree weather. The home was huge, lots of room for our group of 8 to spread out, and the pool was awesome. We were in it multiple times every day. The view is gorgeous from various areas in the house and outside decks and porches. Everyone we worked with at Zindis was super helpful and friendly. We ordered groceries to be stocked when we got there which was a huge help (although they seemed much more expensive than when we shopped at the local supermarket). The kitchen was well-equipped (knives could use some sharpening) and we used the grill for the first few nights until some wreckless raccoons crawled in and broke the burners! One inconvenience was we didn't get a garage door opener so we had to work around that manually, but not a huge deal. All-in-all it was a great vacation! I would recommend this property to anyone considering it!

Still love this place
We stayed at this Villa Aug 2019 . We love so much that we come back again. Everything is perfect great location beautiful sunset every night. The villa is clean and safe for our elderly family members. We love hangout at the pool and kitchen. I promise we will be back again, soon or later. Thank you to Bryan @Zindis team who help us make our trip more adventure 😀 and Angelina for quick response.

Great Place for Whole Family
The property had enough room to comfortably accommodate our family gathering of 10: 6 adults and 4 children (ages 8-11). The kids had a blast in the infinity pool and at the pool table. The view of the ocean was spectacular and we sometimes saw coatis on the patio. The trip to the Hermosa beach was doable by foot, but taking a car for the return climb was preferable. The general location was very good with playas Hermosa, Ocotal, and Coco an easy drive. The villa was convenient to restaurants and grocery stores and well equipped with dishes, cooking equipment and supplies for easily making meals.

Great location, needs an update
We were overall satisfied with our time at Villa Quetzal. The staff at Zindis were professional and courteous. They went over the details of the home clearly with us. The home was comfortable, but we had a few things that we noticed that were slightly frustrating. First, the wifi connection was incredibly slow, so doing research on activities became a challenge. Second, the sheets and pillows did not seem overly clean. The washer and dryer could probably use an update. There was a broken chair in the living room that we avoided, and none of our gate fobs worked the entire time we were staying at the home. On the plus side, we felt very safe at the location, and the views were unmatched. The fridge had ample room, and it was nice that there were amenities in the kitchen that we were able to use.

We had a great visit. Home worked perfectly for two families of four. We could have easily fit 2 more. Views and security were top notch. The house is in a gated community with a guard to let you both in and out. The house has its own security system. In June, we were not able to see sunsets due to cloud cover and rain. The views of Playa Hermosa are truly beautiful. The beds were not super comfortable but not too bad. There is a lot of nature though. A coati came to visit the pool deck while we we were by the pool. Raccoons were on the patio early morning. We had a small scorpion and geckos in the house the first night. We kept the doors and windows closed and had no more unwelcomed guests. We saw several birds and monkeys. Staff was efficient in replacing the broken washing machine within a few days. AC is refreshing after the heat. Showers had good water pressure and hot water. Lots of towels and beach towels. It’s a steep walk back from the beach but lots of trees, birds and maybe a monkey to see along the way. Zindis hosts were very responsive. They booked us several excursions and saved us money booking through them. We went to Diamante and saw toucans, sloths, monkeys , jaguars. Made chocolate, ziplined, and went to a private beach to relax in hammocks. We also hiked to La Leona waterfall. This is a beautiful hike, but it is no joke. You hike, cross rivers, swim to get the waterfall.Both excursions included tasty lunch.You will need a car!

Great views and lots of wildlife
We loved the location, the pool and the birds. Each evening so many birds would stop by the pool, as the sun sets to get a drink. The parrots, 2 by 2 would fly right over our house, talking to each other to stay the night in the valley behind us. BTW, you can see sunrises from the back of the house, and sunsets from the front over the pool. The house was big, not super clean, and as everyone has said, the furniture inside and out is uncomfortable. The beds were ok, worn out bedding though. We spent most days at the beach or touring around. Dont walk to the beach, takes less than five minutes to drive to the closest one. No ice maker, no trays, till now we supplied them. Zindis is excellent, talk to them about activities. Fishing for $100 a person was the best time, caught 5 fish in 4 hours. Recommend.

Great place for a large family
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.

Great location and view
The view was magnificent. We were able to see birds of all types fly right across the patio. Of course , here's the monkeys in the morning and the evenings and even saw a whale in the ocean from ouur view. You could walk into town very easily. But the walk up the hill in the heat of the day could be a challenge for some. The home had plenty of supplies and was very accommodating. The beds were comfortable (firm) but the living room furniture was not so comfortable. This matters less when you spend most of your time on the patio. The pool was marvelous and was cleaned several times during our stay.

Amazing
The house is amazing. Clean, bright and has everything you could possibly need. Our house manager Bryan went above and beyond to help us out and make the trip relaxing and easy. I would recommend a car if you’re staying here. Playa Hermosa is a great little village but there isn’t much there other than a few (great) restaurants and a great beach. Taxis were hard to get and very expensive.

Beautiful house with incredible sunsets
We had such a great time at this house on our weeklong trip. Beautiful infinity pool, open concept house, fantastic location on the hillside about a half-mile from the beach. Steep walk down the private community driveway, we didn't try to walk back up! Three restaurant/bars on the beach in Playa Hermosa, all good. We had a van and traveled all over to many beaches, waterfalls, hot springs, four wheelers, zip lines and more. Gus the property manager and Bryan from Zindis tours were both awesome. Only thing to improve upon is for the house to have a few more new beach chairs to take with you. Great vacation, you won't be disappointed!

Beautiful View
The views were magnificent. The house was clean and tidy. There were lots of towels and linens; even for a family of 10. Having access to a pool is a must in Costa Rica’s hot climate and this one was amazing. The only thing we all found negative is the echo inside the house. There are not enough pictures on the walls and no curtains on the windows. But overall this is a great property.

This house had everything we needed and more. We stayed in Arenal a few nights before and the lack of AC was noticeable. Could not believe the change This house was. AC no bugs beach towels and chairs security. The house was really too big for 4 people but we didn't mind the extra room. The manager was very helpful and showed us everything even gave us map of area which was huge help. We stayed 3 nights and it wasnt long enough. I will definitely be staying here again on our next costa rica adventure.
