Many guests highlight the “incredible view” and how the flexibility of the home layout works for both extended families and mixed-group travel. Zindis Hospitality’s attentive service helps turn that flexibility into ease. Experience the Best of Costa Rica Whether you're looking for adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, the Guanacaste coastline offers unforgettable experiences just minutes from your villa. Here are some of our favorite ways to explore the area: Snorkel at Ocotal Beach Step right into the water from Ocotal Beach and discover vibrant marine life, or charter a boat to visit several spectacular snorkeling spots teeming with some of the world’s most beautiful sea creatures. Scuba Diving Adventures Begin with a relaxed afternoon lesson, then dive into guided excursions the following day to explore Costa Rica’s rich underwater world. Deep Sea Fishing Spend a thrilling day on the Pacific, fishing for marlin, tuna, and other prized catches in some of the richest fishing waters in the world. Sunset Boat Tours Cruise along the coast at golden hour, with stops at secluded, boat-access-only beaches—perfect for a romantic evening or a peaceful escape. Jet Ski Excursions Rent jet skis and zip along the coast to discover hidden coves and picturesque beaches at your own pace. Adventure Parks Visit one (or more) of the nearby adventure parks offering zip-lining, horseback riding, wildlife sanctuaries, cultural experiences, and more—fun for all ages. Cloud Forest Hiking Enjoy a guided or self-paced hike through breathtaking national park trails in the nearby cloud forest, where lush scenery and exotic wildlife await. Waterfalls & Natural Pools Take a short drive to one of the region’s stunning waterfalls and cool off in the crystal-clear pools they form—ideal for a scenic picnic or a refreshing dip. Beach-Hopping & Surf Lessons Explore the unique charm of three nearby beaches—Ocotal, Coco, and Hermosa—or venture out to the iconic Tamarindo Beach for world-class surfing lessons. Private Chef Experience Treat yourself to a true taste of Costa Rica with an in-villa dining experience. A local chef will prepare an authentic meal featuring fresh, regional ingredients—all from the comfort of your villa. Playa Ocotal and Playas del Coco are a small fishing village turned perfect tourist destination in the last decade. While not a surfing destination itself, the lagoon type beach makes it an ideal spot for enjoying the calm waters and the horseshoe shaped beach that is dotted with small bars and restaurants. There is a single main road through town complete with a variety of dining areas and quite a lively music and bar seen in the evening. This location is approximately a 45 minutes drive from the Liberia Airport. Welcome to Villa Lantana — a gracious and expansive retreat perched above the bay in Playa Ocotal, Guanacaste. With four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and space for up to 12 guests, this villa offers generous modern comfort combined with dramatic views and abundant outdoor living. Split across two levels (each level with two bedrooms and its own living area), the design grants flexibility and privacy — perfect for families traveling together or groups seeking shared space with distinct zones. The private pool overlooks the bay and horizon, inviting morning swims, relaxed afternoons and sunset gatherings. Inside, you’ll find comfortable lounge areas, fully furnished kitchens, sliding glass doors that extend the living space outside, and balconies that frame the ocean beyond. Though tucked into the hillside, you’re only minutes from Playa Ocotal’s calm beach, local restaurants and the conveniences of Playas del Coco. Managed by Zindis Hospitality, your stay is supported from start to finish, allowing you to focus on connection, relaxation and discovery. Bedrooms & Bathrooms Level 1: Two bedrooms (2 King-beds in two bedrooms) each with private bath. Level 2: Two bedrooms (each with 2 Queen-beds) each with private bath. Total: 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms — accommodates up to 12 guests. Living Areas & Kitchen Each level includes a lounge space and (on the main level) a full kitchen. The interiors are designed for comfort: sliding glass doors, balconies, and generous living areas allow for both shared time and private spaces. Outdoor & Amenities Private pool with sweeping bay and ocean views. Balconies and patios on both levels provide multiple outdoor zones. Fully-equipped kitchens, WiFi throughout, air-conditioning, secure parking.

Spectacular views, all the necessities, well stocked kitchen, awesome patio/pool space where we spent every evening hanging out, grilling while the kids (and adults) played in the pool. House manager was attentive and friendly. Would absolutely stay here again. ##### Carrie S. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike M.

The communication between the host and us was superb to say the least. Alex is without question the very best in Costa Rica. If you have any questions or need something he is there to help you either in person or via phone. I would highly recommend this property. You will not be disappointed in any way. ##### Mike M.

Apr 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Your own piece of paradise The title says it all. We spent a week in March at this property with 4 adults and 2 kids and it was completely amazing. Not only did it have a breathtaking view of the ocean and of the incredible sunsets each night, the house was comfortable, cool, and quiet. Bonus points for having air conditioning units in each bedroom. We spent hours in the clean refreshing pool before and after activities. The property is about 10 minutes from the beach and amazing restaurants and a short drive to hiking, animal sanctuaries, and all the various adventuring of Costa Rica. I will also never forget wandering outside to see howler monkeys in the trees next to the driveway. The property manager was extremely responsive and helpful. Costa Rica is a magical place and this rental is a perfect place to experience it. ##### Leslie M. Stayed 8 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Janet W. Feb 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Lovely home no hot water The six of us really love the house. We were there for eight days and not one time. Did we have a warm shower no much water pressure. The property manager did their best and even installed a new hot water heater, which failed to heat the water. Luckily it was beautiful weather in the pool was refreshing. The previous renters had broken a table and chairs that were just stored to the side of the house so we did not have that upstairs on the balcony. It’s a very nice home but it does need some updates. ##### Janet W. Stayed 8 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie R. Feb 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect home for family or friends getaway The layout of this home was perfect for our getaway with friends, as each couple/family had their own bedroom and ensuite. The upstairs has a kitchenette and a dining table, which was suitable for those of us who were up early and/or needed a quiet space to work. The downstairs has a more substantial kitchen, a dining area, and leads straight out to the pool deck, so this was our group gathering space. The house is located at the end of a long narrow road, and you will need to drive everywhere, but the location is very quiet and away from the hustle and bustle, with little traffic going by. It is also high up on the hill, so you enjoy beautiful views and breezes There were a few challenges and missing items when we first arrived, but Damian quickly addressed them all, and we were able to enjoy our week away with friends. ##### Julie R. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John K. Aug 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect stay in a beautiful house!! So, we rented this 4-bedroom house as well as the 5-bedroom house up the hill for a family reunion of 17 people. Yes, that is a whole lot of people to coordinate! This home housed 7 young adults and we all had plenty of room and privacy. This house is perfectly configured - every couple or solo guest had their own bathroom, every room has an incredible view and access to outdoor space, and the common area was spacious and comfortable!! The pool and patio were a hit - providing lots of different places for family members to hang out. The kitchen and kitchenette were well stocked and spacious and provided the perfect place to gather for snacks while the cooks in the family prepared meals. The large sliding doors provided amazing views from inside the living and dining room, and the view from the pool was to die for!! On top of ALL this, the Zindis team was the absolute best. They were responsive, helpful, and caring throughout our stay. In particular, Bryan helped us negotiate great excursions - he helped the entire group of 17 with zip lining, horseback, and hot spring adventures, he negotiated a very luxurious boat for 12 of us to go fishing, and he helped get two of our guests to San Jose safely. All of these complicated logistics meant that I kept bothering Bryan, but he was so kind and generous with his time. This house PLUS Zindis made our family reunion so special. Thank you!!! ##### John K. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024
