The table outside the kitchen on the patio was our favorite place in the villa. It seats more than 10 and the view of the ocean is incredible. You get a nice morning breeze to have your coffee and just enjoy your surroundings. We had 6 adults and 4 kids and never felt crowded with all the bedrooms and sitting areas. The pool was used every day and night and has the same views of the ocean. Jenny and Alex were beyond amazing, they make you feel like you’re part of the family. They are so helpful and will go the extra mile to help/please your every need. They are a big reason we may book the villa again. ![Kitchen patio ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ee9b8abb-bd5f-4bfa-8807-8e881ce218a8-1751421636531.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Pool](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ffc53689-9b10-4cf5-8116-cd00ad315103-1751421636713.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Nearby beach](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c01e4f80-dbef-4b5a-9e28-57c5aaeaa146-1751421636540.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Nearby beach](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1d1a784d-fc60-4a36-8ac9-a9403f0dfa43-1751421636542.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Bob B.

Our stay at Villa Amore was wonderful! As stated in previous reviews, pictures just don’t do it justice. I couldn’t get over the spectacular view from the outside terraces and took every opportunity to relax and enjoy it. Our family of six, five adults and an eight year-old, spent many hours enjoying the pool and all of us absolutely loved Jenny and Alex! They were so accommodating and assisted us any way they could. Meals were an event to be savored! We had one fussy eater his requests were always accommodated. The villa was immaculately kept and Jenny even did laundry upon request. Honestly, we have never stayed in a better vacation rental. Thank you, Laura, for promptly answering our questions and for allowing us the pleasure of staying at your beautiful villa.

This was a perfect getaway spot for us with everything we could ask for and more. The place was spotless, the pool was well maintained and the view and ocean breezes couldn’t be beat. We loved the space in the bedrooms for all our luggage and as four separate families with children it was the perfect setup for sleeping. And then there was Alex and Jenny, they were so warm, welcoming and accommodating to our group. We all very much enjoyed their fabulous cooking and the break it gave us from making our own breakfast and dinners was a priceless luxury! We will be recommending this place to other friends and family. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vijay S.

The hosts, Alex and Jenny, were especially helpful. Every meal they made for us was better than any meal we could get in the restaurants. We will try to stay here every time we come back to Costa Rica. ##### David N. Stayed 10 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeremy T.

Everything about the week was great. There is not much more to be said that has not been said in previous reviews . The food is incredible. I hope to book again with some friends. ##### Jeremy T.

The staff provided - chefs/housekeepers were exceptional. The meals are best described as fine dining - such a pampering to have breakfast and dinner made to order for you 6 days a week. The house itself is also beautiful and has such an incredible view. We were able to watch whales out on the ocean. It is also in a more rural area. There were literally monkeys swinging through the trees down the street. We also felt very safe here. Highly, highly recommend. ##### Mark M.

We love the area, and the beaches are beautiful! Laura was great during the booking process, and Alex and Jenny were so helpful and easy to communicate with. The house is gorgeous, with amazing ocean views. The food was delicious, we ate in every night! Jenny kept the house so clean, and even did our laundry when needed. Thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with us! ##### Ashleigh N. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chad G.

Basically everything that could have gone wrong did (planned area wide power outage for 1 day, unplanned area wide water outage for part of day, 5 year old ran through a sliding glass door) and even wjth all of that it was one of the best vacations any of us have had. The listing is even better than the pictures. The chef/caretakers Alex and Jenny are truly amazing and were able to troubleshoot all issues even though they werent the fault of the property. Location was perfect. Alex recommended a few local excursions such as horsebackriding that were amazing. Once in a lifetime experience. ##### Chad G.

Now we know why all of the reviews were rated best of the best! We had four families sharing the property with ages ranging from 2 to 68 and everyone had the best time ever. Alex and Jen are the best hosts and their culinary skills are amazing. We had every meal at the villa with the exception of their day off. The property is very much as advertised with plenty of room for our group of 12\. One of those trips that no one wanted to leave with guaranties that we will all be back! ##### Jerry A.

The views , the house and of course Jenny and Alex. They made fabulous meals and made us feel welcome! The beaches and sunsets were amazing! Laura was great to deal with and always responded quickly to questions. We will come again for sure! Pura Vida! ##### David H. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna B.

The pool was great for the kids (some pool toys/floats were available to use). Lots of wildlife on the property/nearby (we went tidepooling a couple of times, saw humpback whales, monkeys, lots of birds). The property was very clean and looked like the pictures. We did not rent a car, but almost all excursions would pick us up. We loved Alex & Jenny! ##### Anna B. Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Celeste W.

The house was immaculate and had everything we needed. Alex and Jennifer were amazing. We enjoyed all the meals they cooked and eating on the patio was such a treat. The location was wonderful too. I felt like all my research had paid off when a local resident asked us in surprised how we found Playa Carrillo. It is the most beautiful beach. We felt very fortunate to have been able to experience the culture, food and beaches all in one trip. Can’t wait to return! ##### Celeste W.

It truly is the definition of luxury. Such an amazing space to gather at the end of a day of adventuring to spend time together as a family, watching the sunset over the pacific. Alex and Jenny were phenomenal. So kind, professional and helpful. The meals were amazing, each one better than the last. My only advice would be to add some information to the pre trip information around customary tipping practices for the area, for both excursions and also for Alex and Jenny. They were so phenomenal and we wanted to show our gratitude but have no idea if the amount we left was sufficient. ##### Ali S. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew S.

The most beautiful ocean view and so much wildlife to see. This was our second time in Costa Rica and we’ll definitely stay here again when we come back. It’s close to Samara which is a neat little town. Make sure to bring a sleep mask as the sun rises very early. (5:30 am while we were there!) Alex and Jenny helped provide an incredibly relaxing trip! Every meal was delicious! ##### Andrew S. Stayed 9 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### michelle m.

Right from the beginning Laura was absolutely amazing with communication and giving recommendations for planning excursions and all those little details for things! The house was stunning! Alex and Jenny far exceeded our expectations and by day 2 felt like part of our family! The house was always immaculate, food was top tier and just being able to spend time and conversation with them was amazing! Costa Rica definitely did not disappoint in any way! As they say… PURA VIDA! ❤️ thank you so much Laura for allowing to stay in your beautiful home and have this wonderful family experience! ##### michelle m.

We had an absolutely terrific vacation at Villa Amore! The property was magnificent and exactly how it was represented in the listing and photos. After our stay, we couldn’t think of anything that could have been done to improve our experience. As far as Alex and Jenny go…there is nothing to be said that hadn’t already been said. They are wonderful people….a pair of jewels….kind, attentive and incredibly helpful. Regarding meals, they accommodated everything we asked. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. As I told them….”on a 10 scale, spending a week at Villa Amore is a solid 10”…..but spending a week at Villa Amore staffed by Alex and Jenny is an easy “15.” We can’t recommend this property highly enough. ##### Barron T.

But back to the house and Laura again top tier!!!!!!! Highly recommend and I’ll be back very, very soon! Oh and did I mention the infinity pool! Absolutely incredible and again the view of the Pacific Ocean can be seen from every room. The plush greenery so beautiful! Everything and everyone simply beautiful! ##### melissa o.
