You couldn't ask for a better location or "team" assigned to you when you rent this unit. The concierge and property management team take care of your every need including taking you to the grocery store! The beach club, located across the street and included with your stay, is amazing! The service, location, pool and beach are reminiscent to a 5 star luxury resort. We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful penthouse! ##### Tia D. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lyndsey D. Mar 28, 2018 #### Pura Vida We enjoyed our time in Ibis 9. The layout and pictures of the place were exactly as described. Rafe and Stefano were helpful and knowledgable of the area and made the excursions workout seamless. The walk into town is not far but the golf cart was a must for us to get around in for dinners and groceries. We had 4 kids and 2 adults. Costa Rica is beautiful and the beach was amazing. ##### Lyndsey D. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### stephen H.

From the moment we opened the door se we’re impressed withe the condo furnishings. The pictures accurately showed the interior, and the security persons and concierge were extremely helpful and kind. They provided many helpful suggestions to make the stay pleasant and fun. We purchased excursions for scuba, snorkeling, zip line, whitewater rafting, deep sea fishing, ATV, and inland fishing. All coordinated through the concierge, Rafa. They were all excellent with friendly, helpful, high quality service. ##### stephen H.

We absolutely loved everything about this penthouse. Beautifully decorated, very clean, excellent staff and location can't be beat. If you're coming to Costa Rica to surf and enjoy all this beautiful country has to offer, then this is the place to stay. Very convenient to other places to explore if you want, but Tamarindo has a lot to offer. Concierge desk for penthouse can also advise of best tours. We followed all their recommendations for deep sea fishing, sunset catamaran tours and restaurants and every one of them was perfect! We hope to come back one day and definitely would stay here again. ##### Alicia N. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paige R. Jan 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome By far, the best VRBO we have ever rented from. Rafa was amazing with communication on the check in and out process and all of the activities close by. And I can not say enough about the security team and the club staff. We had a flat tire that would not come off of the hub. And they all worked on it until they got it off and the tire switched out. Highly recommend!! ##### Paige R.

What you see in the pictures is what you get - it is so gorgeous and roomy. The bedrooms are large and each one has its own bathroom plus theres a half bath off of the kitchen. The main balcony is where we were most of the time when we were in the condo. The master bedroom and the 2nd bedroom each have a balcony and in the morning we'd drink coffee looking out over the trees. You can hear the monkeys every morning!! The staff at the condo are very helpful. We used them to book tours, get us cabs, and to find out information about happenings and places to go in town. The beach club across the street is fabulous!! The infinity pool is gorgeous, the cabanas are a wonderful place to relax and read and maybe have a cocktail or two, the beach area is beautiful and the view is gorgeous. The service is wonderful and the food is too! Can't say enough great things about our stay! If we go back, we will definitely stay here and we recommend to everyone! ##### Betty A. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie M., Oak Park, IL Jun 2, 2011 #### Beyond expectations!! I will admit that staying in a condo without any other travelers reviews concerned me slightly...but what my friends and I found when we walked into this condo was beyond what we could have ever expected. Veronica and Bob pay attention to every tiny detail in this complex...from flower petals and swan towels arranged in our bedrooms/bathrooms to having our very dusty and dirty car cleaned while we were out to dinner. The pool, overlooking a gorgeous beach, was quiet/relaxing. The waitstaff in the pool area was friendly and provided incredible service (and yummy drinks). My favorite part of staying in the condo was being able to wake up, walk outside and see 15+ howler monkeys and their very tiny babies swinging from the trees outside. Although my friends and I looked forward to visiting local bars in Tamarindo, this condo was actually so nice that my friends and I spent more time relaxing (and napping) on the porch with drinks than we did out at the local bars. Thank you Bob and Veronica for being fabulous hosts and letting us stay in this beautiful condo! Can't wait to visit again. ##### Katie M. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stuart D. May 10, 2013 #### Great place for first time in Costa Rica We were pleasantly surprised when we entered the unit as the pictures do not adequately portray the well-appointed penthouse. Travertine and granite abound as well as teak everywhere including the extremely tall ceilings -- 3,000 square feet of room to roam for just the two of us. The onsite property manager is extremely accommodating and made suggestions for restaurants and activities which all turned out to be very, very good. He actually made all the arrangements for us even taking us to the grocery store and on a tour of the area the day we arrived. The day trip he arranged for us to Arenal volcano was nothing short of awesome, and the zip lining tour could not have been better. One of the reasons we selected this unit in Ibis was that it included use of the Langosta Beach Club just across the street. We were able to reserve a cabana each day, have drinks and snacks delivered to us beach (amazing white sand and surf) and poolside (infinity style facing the beach), and enjoy several excellent dinners (one of the best restaurants in Tamarindo/Langosta). Ibis lies on the north end of Langosta just a short walk to the town of Tamarindo which is extremely laid back loaded with great food, bars, beaches, etc. If our travels take us back to Costa Rica we would definitely try to stay here again. In fact, we are talking about a family 2014 Christmas trip here given the very pleasant time we had. ##### Stuart D. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca Z. Dec 12, 2014 #### Beautiful condo, great location This condo met all our needs and more. The unit was very clean, organized, and well decorated. Each bedroom has its own bathroom plus an extra half bath which is a bonus. We liked to eat breakfast home and the kitchen had all the essentials for cooking. The wrap-around porch was amazing with a great table and seats for plenty of lounging. The staff at Ibis could not have been more helpful. From setting up the rental to airport transportation and excursion planning, everyone was wonderful. There is always someone at the front gate which is great and he even called taxis for us when it was raining. The cleaning staff was professional and did a great job, as well as the staff at the front desk who helped us plan tours and even took us to the grocery store one afternoon! When the weather was nice, we choose to walk the quick 7 minutes into town. Ibis is such a great location. You are literally across the street from the beach and a quick walk into town. The beach club across the street (access is included with the rental) was also amazing. We took a work out class there one morning and used the beach facilities almost everyday. One afternoon it was raining so we watched one of the football games at the tiki bar there and had a great time. This condo is beautiful, has a ton of amenities, best location, and I would highly recommend it! It is definitely my first choice when staying in Tamarindo! ##### Rebecca Z. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Lynne M. Aug 21, 2016 #### Luxury condominium We stayed at this lovely condominium the last week of July with our 4 adult children. The unit was well-appointed, beautifully decorated, and the kitchen was well equipped. Only a short walk from Tamarindo, and adjacent to the Tamarindo nature preserve, the building is quiet and feels secluded. One of the best features was access to the Langosta beach club across the street, which was the perfect beach retreat, complete with pool, restaurant, bar, plus beach gear and lessons. Our family wanted a vacation where they could relax and enjoy a beach vacation, so it was important to us to have the beach club amenity. Two restaurants we recommend are ether Shrimp Hole and Seasons. Both featured fresh, fresh seafood! The concierge contacted us when we booked our week and sent us a comprehensive list of activities to help us plan our trip, which was a nice touch. Once we arrived, they took care of our needs promptly. We had some issues with appliances that were not working, but Bob, the property manager took care of our concerns as soon as we called. He went above the call of duty when our daughter had an issue with her eye and needed to see a doctor. He sent his wife, Veronica, who took her to a clinic, stayed to translate for her and then went to a pharmacy to pick up medicine. They were all very caring, which we really appreciated. We recommend this property and hope we can return someday. ##### Lynne M. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2016 ### 6/10 Okay #### Steven S., Austin Aug 27, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Great place, terrible onsite manager experience My three stars is really a merge of 5 stars for a great place and 1 star for an poor set of experiences with an onsite manager named Rafa. I’ve shared my feedback with the owners but want anyone renting this spot to also be aware. Problems included: + overcharging for excursions (make sure you book things like ATVs and other side trips direct. The property manager Rafa takes a large margin, as much as 2x). + not communicating with us despite repeated attempts (then saying, “oh I was too busy”) + not being available onsite to help us (then being seen hanging out in the parking lot and in town talking casually with people) + failing to help us secure a refund for a dysfunctional golf cart we rented through him (I had to eventually go to the owner of the golf cart rental service myself) + failing to return an item we left in the safe despite promising to do so (I eventually had to go over his head). Note: the rest of the team at Ibis, including security and cleaning and parking are wonderful. I recommend them highly. Ibis owners: I encourage you to take corrective action if Rafa is still with you. He is doing your rental property and the Ibis community a disservice. ##### Steven S.

Jul 9, 2013 #### Beautiful Luxurious Penthouse in an Excellent Location Thank you very much for a wonderful stay. The Penthouse was extremely clean and very comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped. The beds were comfortable with nice linens. It was perfect for our family of 6. The Penthouse belongs to the Langosta Beach Club, conveniently right across the street. We used the pool and had some drinks. At the end of our stay, we settled our tab at the club house. Although there were a few items on the bill that we did not have, the manager promptly removed them and apologized. The Penthouse was about a 7 minute walk into town. We walked to town for dinner or lunch and sometimes took a cab back ($6). When the tide was low, we could walk along the beach to town which was wonderful. The beach is across the street from the Penthouse. It was perfect. The beach is beautiful and great for looking for shells. We also had access to boogy boards which the kids loved. Karla, at the front desk, was amazing. She immediately took us to the grocery store upon arrival. This was very helpful. Karla also did a fantastic job directing us to the best tours. She coordinated everything and even negotiated some rates for us! Thank you. Overall, Bob and Karla made us feel welcome and really strived to make us happy and comfortable. We felt like the penthouse was luxurious and the location could not have been better. I would highly recommend this property! ##### D C.

The photos gave us an idea what it was like, but it's so much better when you see it in person. It was immaculate when we arrived and very nicely decorated, including some special touches which provided a warm welcome to us. Bob greeted us, gave us a tour of the penthouse, and answered any questions we had. He was very helpful in suggesting some activities for us to do. The Beach Club which was directly across the street had a really nice pool with cabanas and a poolside restaurant/bar. They had special music on different nights, which we totally enjoyed. We were able to walk to other restaurants and shops with no problem. We liked a restaurant called Kiheki, which was just up the road. They had great breakfast burritos, which were big enough for two people, unless you were super hungry. They also had a lot of other good meals to choose. There was nothing we didn't like there. Our daughter and her friend did an ATV tour and had a lot of fun. Our nephew and his wife joined us on a river cruise at a former sugar cane plantation. We had a great lunch there and enjoyed getting a little tour of the grounds. If you go there, be sure to visit Palomo, a special animal. We stayed four nights in Arenal, the volcano area, prior to going to Tamarindo. While we were there, we visited the Hanging Bridges of Arenal, shopped in La Fortuna, went to Sky Trek (only our daughter and nephew did the zipline), and Tabacon Hot Springs (twice). Our time in Tamarindo was mostly for relaxation and going to the beach. We had a great time and highly recommend this penthouse. There is a guard at the gate who is very nice and helpful. We would definitely stay here again. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin R. Nov 17, 2016 #### Can't wait to come back Ibis #9 was a wonderful place to celebrate my wife’s 40th birthday at and Bob’s entire team was extremely helpful during the booking process and through our entire stay. Our group of five adults loved staying in the spacious condo and we truly enjoyed having such a beautiful place to call home during our one week trip. After reserving the condo we received a welcome email with general information and a long list of various tours to choose from. Stefano answered all of my group’s questions and we booked three tours plus airport transportation. Upon arrival, our driver picked us up and took us to the grocery store for the essentials and then over to the condo. We were greeted by Robert, who gave us an overview of the area, their services and the property. Ibis #9 is every bit as beautiful as the photos online and has an extremely warm feeling with the combination of the wood, granite and tile throughout. The balcony is definitely a highlight and we spent many evenings there reminiscing about the day’s events. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the essential cookware and the appliances are adequate. The wireless internet and satellite/cable TV worked very well and the stereo system with ceiling speakers in each room was a nice plus. Any of the small issues we had were immediately addressed by the maintenance staff who also keep the building very clean and the groundskeeper maintains a well-manicured property. Membership to the beach club across the street is the perfect complement for the property giving you all the amenities you could find in a resort with a very personable staff willing to accommodate all requests. All in all, the property was perfect for what we wanted: spacious, luxurious, close to town but far enough away and with access to the beach right across the street. The staff was very helpful in both planning and arranging additional tours while we were there and a trip highlight was having Chef Frank cook an amazing dinner for us in the condo on my wife’s birthday. We all look forward to coming back. Costa Rica is an amazing place to visit and staying at the Ibis #9 only enhances the Pura Vida experience. ##### Kevin R. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2016 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott R. May 1, 2019 #### Stay at Ibis Tamarindo I will preface this review by saying that we were not sold on going to Costa Rica at first. We were traveling with 3 kids 8,9, and 11 and weren't certain if it was the best place to go with 3 young kids. We went through over 1 thousand reviews and finally decided on this condo in Tamarindo over a resort in the Panilla region. We made the right decision and had a fantastic time. I wanted to write this review trying to provide information the information that we looked for going through reviews for a family vacation. We just returned from one week at Costa Rica. We stayed in Ibis 9. We had a wonderful experience from the start. Melissa arranged airport transfer from Liberia airport. Catalina was waiting for us and was a gracious host. We stopped by a very nice supremacado on the way to the condo for groceries. A small version of a nice US grocery store with everything you need. We met our concierge Rafa once we arrived at Ibis. He took care of anything we needed instantaneously. As good a concierge as anyone you would meet at a nice hotel in the states. We got help with our luggage. The condo was on the top floor. Very spacious, clean, and nice furniture. Fixtures, and appliances all extremely nice. We quickly went out to the beach through the Langosta Beach Club. There is a great pool there and lounge chairs. Free cabanas that you can reserve through the concierge who was Giro while we were there. The beach club has food and great drinks. It is a bit pricey. Similar to US resort prices. But a great set up and worth the cost. Also plenty of lounge chairs on the beach. Beautiful sand and great waves. You can rent boogy boards or get surf lessons right in front of the beach club. I would highly encourage you to rent a golf cart. We rented one for the week through pure vida luxury rentals. It was ready for us when we got there. It makes it very easy to travel all through town and visit the different beaches. We used it every day to go out and get breakfast or go to dinner. If there is one restaurant you should try it is Pangas right on the beach with best food in town. We set up 3 tours through the concierge and were very happy. We got private guides for each trip and were guided through each activity without any wait or downtime. Very similar to guided tours through us parks. Victor and Sebastian (and Irbin tour driver) were our guides. They are truly expert guides and made our experience exeptional. I highly recommend this property and company. ##### Scott R. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Dec 11, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Close to the Action Ibis #9 was a nice top floor 3bdr/3 1/2 bath condo unit on the outskirts of Tamarindo on the main road towards Langosta. The unit was clean upon arrival. The kitchen was stocked with basics, but anything above that, a trip to the market is necessary (no tin foil, plastic wrap, baggies, or laundry detergent provided). The location is right across from the Langosta Beach Club, which was very convenient (can use their facilities), and a walk on Tamarindo Beach is right there. The condo is on a very busy street with constant traffic going both ways all day long, so be aware of that. Also, right outside the master bedroom windows is a small community of folks who live in sheds, and every single night, there was loud talking and music that went into late hours. The main thermostat in family room was locked at 79 degrees, which was very warm. The bedrooms were much cooler. Overall, our stay was fine, but there were some items mentioned that could use some improvement. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie Apr 3, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication ##### Stephanie Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chalì P.
