Best place in los suenos!
We loved the place from the moment we walked it. Well maintained, very clean and quiet! The view was amazing and the sunsets are a must see. The host was outstanding! Excellent communication, clear and transparent. The complex was impeccable. We would definitely be recommending this place to other friends and family.

Perfect Stay for Us
We loved the condo in Herradura. Norman was available to call and help us through a minor suitcase lock emergency. Everything was quite clean and up to date. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. It was nice to have a washer/dryer to run a few loads. Each morning, we sat on the balcony to enjoy our coffee, tea, and gorgeous view of the bay. Having the pass for the Beach Club was wonderful. We would love to stay here again.

this is an AMAZING place, within a fantastic complex with every amenity you could ever want. We loved the pools and how close they are, we loved the beach club, the swim up bar, driving golf carts around, eating out on the beach watching the sunset, early morning delightful coffee stop as well as the tours we did! We will be back and hopefully stay here again! The house is clean, comfortable, and has everything we needed. Norman was super helpful and kind. thanks for the great time!

Spectacular view and close to many attractions!
Communication with the property manager was top-notch! Norman provided many recommendations for transportation and nearby excursions in addition to information about the Condo. Linens and towels were readily available and the kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, and utensils. The condo is clean and was spacious for our group of four adults. The nearby marina has plenty to offer, including a small grocery store and two banks. The coffee shop has some good brews, pastries, and gelato. I certainly will have no reservations about renting here again!

Perfect family getaway
Beautiful views from thia property. Very spacious and safe. Grocery shopped at a local grocery store which had lots of local food and American options as well. We rented gold carts which made it a lot easier to get to get around the resort. The pool at the condo was never crowded. The beach club is also beautiful with ocean access and swim up bar. Great service there! Shopped at Jaco beach strip, lots of shops and restaurants, amazing. We did encounter lots of traffic going to a few places, allow extra time for getting place to place. Local farmers markets fruits and veggies were delicious! Great trip highly recommend this area and property!

Delightful
We stayed at Norman's wonderful condo four nights in late June/early July. Los Suenos is a delightful community. We used Norman's golf cart and rented a second for our family of 8. We used the golf cart to get some necessities at the store but mostly ate dinner out at the many restaurants nearby. On site there are several restaurants at the Marriot or the Marina (both about 1 mile away by road. Off property (about 1/2 mile - walkable) are several other restaurants (Coco's and several others including a soda). The beach club is amazing with a swim up bar and a soccer field nearby where we played and saw Macaws. Norman responded quickly to anything we asked. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to stay there.

Spectacular sunset view
This condo was immaculate, spacious, and well-stocked with everything we needed. The furniture is comfortable and the decor looks professionally done. Our favorite parts were sitting on the balcony with our coffee in the morning, and watching the spectacular sunsets in the evening. Very quiet and peaceful. We really enjoyed having the use of the golf cart and the pass to the beach club. The entire property is clean and well-maintained. We ate at HookedUp, very good; and Al Fresco at the beach club, also good. The owner answered all our questions promptly, and gave clear, specific info regarding check-in. (Note, this condo is on the third floor and there isn't an elevator.) We had a wonderful time and hope to return for a longer stay!

Not in good condition currently not "luxury" by any means- Termite damage, mold, dirty upon arrival
I attempted to resolve this matter offline, but the conversation turned sour quickly and Norman ended the phone call threatening me that if I went forward with writing a review that he would be retaliating. Nevertheless, I think there needs to be some accountability for the issues that my wife and I encountered during our stay, and hopefully this review triggers a response that will ultimately lead to a positive experience for future guests if they choose to book this property. Los Suenos resort is great. Great pools, plenty of dining options on and near the resort. Very safe. Unfortunately, this condo is not currently in a condition fitting of the title of "luxury condo". Its very dated, and it appears the owner has put a minimal effort into the general upkeep of the property. Just enough to get by. Below is a detailed list of the concerns we ran into: Kitchen/Laundry area Dead termites/larvae in the wall. Mold growing in the pictures on the wall. Dirt/scuff on the wall Crumbs on the counter/floor Broken microwave handle with gobs of superglue on the handle Old/worn cookware and dishes- not suitable for enjoying a homemade meal Living Room Crumbs on couch Ceiling fan light was broken/superglued Master Bedroom Sheets were dirty. when we pulled them back there was hair and crumbs in the sheets Bathrooms Counters had scum from where previous tenants used their toiletries Dirt/scuff on the doors I reached out to Norman and he offered to have a cleaning crew come in the next morning. They were there promptly and cleaned the sheets, floors, and counters. It was enough to where we felt comfortable staying. I later messaged Norman and requested a "partial" reimbursement considering the conditions such as the termites and the general poor condition of the condo. He got very defensive and made it clear he was not interested in discussing a reimbursement. He defended the condition of the property and explained that the termites infested the attic area and were discovered in the kitchen shortly before our visit. He had them sprayed/killed, but was not able to have it all cleaned up prior to our visit. I will say Norman was always quick to respond, and was polite in most of our interactions aside from our last. He even let me use his golf clubs to golf earlier in the week! Nevertheless, I do not feel the condition of the property in its current state is something anyone would deem acceptable when spending this much money for vacation

Response from VrboOwner on Nov 15, 2022
I had a very disappointing with Brandon Hays stay at my condo. Very sad for many reasons. During Brandon’s three night visit, he complained even after I made every attempt to resolve his issues. His strategy was to complain and then ask for reimbursement at the end of his stay, Very disappointing. If the condo was as bad as Brandon states, why did he not leave after the first night? There were a lot of other condos available on VRBO in the same condo complex at cheaper prices. I would have gladly given Brandon his money back if he would have left after the first night. Brandon, after his stay, threatened to give me a bad review at the end of his stay if I did not reimburse his money for his stay at my condo. Brandon and his wife left my condo in disorder. I found sand all over the condo. I had to steam clean the sofas to get the suntan oil and sand removed. I let Brandon use my personal golf cart which is now missing a mirror and the golf cart was full of sand. I rent my condo 200 days a year and for the last 10 years, never had any issues that could not be resolved with anyone. Brandon's claims are baseless and are just an attempt to get a discount and smear my good name. All pictures posted on VRBO of my condo have been taken during the last year. I paint my condo once a year and all of my cookware was purchased in the last year and has a lifetime guarantee. I have over 80 / 5 star reviews on VRBO. I do everything possible to make sure the people that stay in my condo will have a good time and a great experience, but some people are never going to make happy. I went out of my way to help Brandon. I did an extra cleaning after his first night after his complaints that the condo was not cleaned properly and he was still not satisfied. I hold myself to the highest standard when it comes to cleaning my condo. My cleaning personal take 5 hours to clean and Covid disinfect the condo. Can my cleaning personal miss a crumb, yes. Do I have any issues doing an extra cleaning, absolutely not. But when the client, in this case Brandon, still claim the condo is not clean to his satisfaction after 10 hours of cleaning on a 1600 sq foot condo, I do have an issue. It is not about the cleaning anymore. It is just about complaining just to complain. I also Invited Brandon and his wife to my private golf club and let him use my golf clubs. I went to every extreme to make sure that Brandon’s vacation in Costa Rica was an eventful one. If you let Brandon stay at your home, expect the same problem. I promise you he will find something to complain about and then ask you for his money back at the end no matter what you do to help him resolved and leave your home in disorder.

This place is located in los Sueños resort which is beautiful! It came with a golf cart which was much needed to get around the resort so that was very helpful.

Amazing view in Los Suenos
Condo was very nice and met all of our needs. Los Suenos is a property with lush landscaping, plenty of beautiful pools and beach club, and an abundance of eating choices. Close to area stores, restaurants and beach with use of golf cart. Beach club, restaurants and marina would be a long walk but good with the golf cart. View from the condo is probably one of the best in all of Los Suenos. Norman, the owner, is very nice and always available for any needs or questions that arise. Overall, an amazing experience!!

Perfect location and property!
This property was perfect for our family of five. The condo had the most amazing view from the balcony and the space was perfect for us to enjoy our stay. We were close to Jaco, which had a great beach for playing in the waves but seemed rather crowded and a bit seedy. It was a great launching point for day trips throughout the area and perfect for relaxing in the mornings and evenings. The condo was clean and spacious. The full kitchen and laundry machines were essential for our family. Norman was a wonderful host that gave us great tips for local places to visit and was very quick to respond to any of our questions about our trip. I would highly recommend this rental for anyone looking for a stay in this area.

We loved it here BUT. I have to say if you plan on cooking this one isn’t for you. We called norman and he did come over. The pans were so bad that you couldn’t cook in them. His solution was use PAM. Sorry we used all kinds of stuff and everything still stuck to them. They must have been 10 years old and had rental abuse. For 100.00 or less he could have saved this review. If you don’t plan on cooking it’s great! Loved Costa Rica. And our driver Marco Bernard was excellent!!!!

All the Cookware is a year old and was non stick and Teflon coated. She complained that the gas grill did not work but the only issue was that the gas tank was empty but my maintenance person changed the tank, which the client could have done as well because I always have an extra tank of gas on the terrace. Complained that the knives were not sharp enough but there is a knife sharpener. Her family stained the bed covers. They found my extra bed covers and changed them and put the stained bed covers in the closet. Unfortunately I did not find this out until after I reviewed her and she got her damage deposit.
