Family Vacation
We loved our stay at The Palms. The house was the perfect size for our party of seven. The view is unbelievable and the property is gorgeous. We took two tours through Matt’s Fishing and Tours and had at meal prepared at the house by Chef at Home CR. Everything exceeded our expectations and we created lasting memories for our family. We did rent two 4WD cars from Adobe Rental and it was really nice being able to explore on our own and travel to the different beaches in the area. The only issue we had was we did not have water on our last day. The management company was easy to get ahold of and came over right away but was unable to get the water back on before we checked out. I would definitely book this property again if we ever make it back to Costa Rica.

An Amazing experience
We had a fabulous time staying on this absolutely beautiful property!! We had a chef come to the house which has the perfect kitchen with 6 of us adults watching them cook for us which was an amazing dinner!! Also, the view of the ocean was spectacular along with the outstanding huge pool over looking the mountains and ocean. The monkeys were swinging in the trees next to us!! The house is very clean with beautiful paintings and sculptures all through out the house!! Lots of space for my adult kids to have their own space!! I would definitely recommend this property!!

Amazing Getaway
This was our first time to Costa Rica and we loved it! Our family of 10 really enjoyed our stay at The Palms. The views are incredible and we loved sitting out on the balconies enjoying coffee and breakfast, watching the town and the bay come to life. The pool is gorgeous and just what you need for a break from the heat - day and night. The kitchen is stocked with everything you may need, the bedrooms are large and comfortable, and there was plenty of space for all of us. The Zindis team was very friendly, helped us get settled in, helped to arrange excursions and was quick to resolve any minor issues we had. Would love to come back again!

House is amazing, view is possibly the best in the country. This was my first visit to Costa Rica (after traveling the Caribbean) and this house made me a believer! Zindis was amazing to work with and took care of everything we asked of them. This home is what current and/or retirement dreams are made of! Incredibly happy that we chose this home and had the opportunity to interact with locals and residents! This is the place! We loved it! Book it now! You won’t regret it! A+++

Nice place but needs some Maintenance
Beautiful property and grounds. The house has plenty of room and is true to description. The problems we experienced were partially due to weather and upkeep. We noticed the pool was filthy and cloudy with algae during our check-in process. The property manager said they had just had a checkout and would send the pool guy in the morning. After multiple calls to the property manager and visits from the pool cleaners, we could finally swim on our 3rd evening. The pool was one of the main features we looked for in booking and could not use it for 50% of our stay. It was rainy season so when it rained hard the water would enter the living room and master bedrooms because the weather stripping was worn on the doors. This also allowed the bugs to come in through door seals. The rain popped multiple circuit breakers throughout the stay including the master bedroom air conditioning which did not work well after resetting all the tripped breakers. There were a few other issues that just needed maintenance and upkeep but I would share those with the owner. The Zindis concierge was helpful and great to work with, a plus with this property.

What a view
When you walk into the house, you will be absolutely amazed at the view. The house has everything you need with plenty of room. On occasion howler monkeys would visit the area, actually one woke us up one morning it was so close and so vocal. We recommend Ocotal Beach. Clear and beautiful water. The only thing that I didn’t like was the lack of control of the jacuzzi. It is on between 5 and 10, and if you want to use it any earlier than 5, you have no control. The staff was helpful. You will enjoy a stay here.

Playa Hermosa with the Zindis Group
Our stay was 3/23/24 to 3/30/24. Beautiful house on a very steep hill so we were glad we did not rent a car. Zindis did a great job on our excursion list and even when we added an excursion they did not advertise, they were able to find us a fantastic tour guide with a lot of knowledge who educated us. We had a great time and will not hesitate to go through VRBO the next time we plan a trip.

Adult vacation
March 9-19, 2024. There were 8 adults total staying here. 3 adults sharing the bathroom with the twin bed/ king bed rooms- wasnt ideal but we managed. It was very HOT in CR. The downstairs stayed very cool, but the upstairs was warmer. We did not mess with the air conditioning in the living/dining/kitchen area as requested, it was set at 80. The bedrooms all had there own ac units as well as ceiling fans, although the upstairs bedrooms didnt cool as well. Dining room fit all of us well. Kitchen was supplied with all the dishes, pots and pans and utensils that we needed. We did take advantage of the coolers in the garage (they even had chairs for the beach, bit we didnt use them). The beds were a little firm but ok. The bedrooms were all very spacious with closets and drawers and hangers. The outside dining area and other chairs were comfortable as well as the pool chairs. The pool and hot tub water levels were a little low (I think due to it being so hot mid to high 90’s all week). The water was pretty warm perfect really. We had two vehicles and had plenty of room to park. The “gate guards” were really nice and helped us with unloading the garbage at the bottom the driveway as well as opening the gate for us. The view is spectacular and we loved watching the howler monkeys and their babies! It was only a 10-15 minute drive to Coco beach and about 10 min drive to playa Hermosa beach and 30 minute drive to airport. We would definitely book this place again

Beautiful, quiet, clean property with a million dollar view. The property was one of the highlights of our trip and the perfect place to relax and cook dinner after our daily excursions.

Playa hermosa
We had a great time. The house was beautiful. Pictures didn’t do it justice. kids loved the pool and the view was amazing. It was nice to be in a gated community and close to different beaches. The only negative thing I would say is that we did the grocery service where they shopped for us before we arrived. None of the food or drinks were cold. They didn’t turn the fridge on until the morning of our arrival. So we had nothing cold until the next morning. Other than that it was great! Thanks again!

Nice property with an amazing view! We were 2 families of 4 with plenty of room in this house. The pool, hot tub, outdoor space and of course the view were highlights. Short drive to the beach. We used boogie boards and chairs from the property when we went to the beach. We used the grill and prepared several meals at the house and had all the equipment needed. It was fun to see all the NYE fireworks on the beach and at the Four Seasons from the balcony of the property. Pura Vida!

Overall the property was fantastic. The house was clean and comfortable. The A/C in the main living area could have been better, never cooled below 80. There was plenty of room for everyone and supplies were endless. The view from the property was great and seeing the monkeys in the morning was awesome. Good communication with the host prior to arriving and the property manager was helpful.

Words just can’t describe the beauty and comfort of this home. Any and all issues ( which were very few) were addressed immediately. The Zindis group whom manage the property are far beyond what any expectations of a concierge/ management company should be. They made every detail perfect. They checked on us daily and helped us navigate the entire trip . Everything was fabulous and we would definitely come back here again. Only thing they need new coffee pits and they weee very receptive to any and all suggestions. It’s probably already been replaced 😉

My family and I stayed at this location for 8 days and 7 nights and we are still raving about our experience! The photos really don't do this home any justice... the home and the views are STUNNING. The team at Zindis Property helped make our vacation unforgettable. They came to the home to help us choose our tours and excursions and made themselves available to us for our entire trip to assist with any questions we had or any new tours we wanted to schedule. They even helped us setup private meals for our family at the home with two amazing chefs. The customer service was EXCEPTIONAL!
