"I have to say this was a very nice place for the price point. The location is great. 5 minutes from Coco and 2 minutes to the beach. Nice pool and secure grounds. Restaurants, convenient store and awesome coffee shops next to the property. If I had to say something cautionary- it would be that it it small. It’s a 2 bedroom but the living area and kitchen are for one or two people. But if you are on the go then it’s a great base camp for more. I would definitely stay at this location again !!!"

"We really liked this cool place – super clean, had everything for cooking. The bed was like a dream. The host gave us towels, chairs, umbrella, and a cooler for the beach – super handy. Instead of cooking, we walked 10 minutes along the beach to The Beach Bar and Restaurant for the best meals in Costa Rica. There's also an awesome breakfast spot just across the street with healthy choices, yummy croissants, and great Costa Rican coffee. Can't ask for more. Totally recommend this place if you're...

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (21)
"Very nice property in a beautiful location. Checkin process was ok, but could be much better (no one available onsite to cover any issues (small or large)). Lights not on in stairwell, night or day. Drip in 2nd bathroom. Bed mattresses were ok, but given the price of the unit, could be better. Otherwise, loved the unit. Best location in Playa Flamingo"

"Property was perfect for our stay. Although there are few amenities that would be nice to have. Some instructions for the cook top. It is different. May be standard to CR but different for Americans. We had to ask for more toilet paper. I bought paper towels and salt/pepper. My largest frustration was that Francisco suggested the Ginger restaurant for dinner a night. We did try to go but apparently you can’t go without reservations so went to coco to get dinner. Upon our return not only was...

Villa Sol 13 Roomy Villa Retreat in Private Resort!
9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (12)
"The Villa was very clean and well stocked. We did most of our own cooking as a local mini mart is only about a 10 minute walk. The shuttle service on the resort is very convenient, whether you want to pop to the beach or up to the restaurant. Having a private pool made all the difference and once we figured out the evaporation rate and kept a trickle pouring into it from the hose provided it was a sanctuary. A dip before bed became our routine. Heaven Our Krain rep, Byron, went above and beyond...

"This community of small Villas was perfect for our stay. The grounds were beautiful and the staff were very helpful and kind. The location was very convenient, being next to a supermarket and a 10 minute walk from the local beach. The rooms are not luxury, but nice for this price and they have everything you need. We had a problem with our AC unit on the first night, but the staff was quick to offer us a new room while it was being repaired. The breakfast was traditional Costa Rican...
