The property is located in such a nice area. Its close to downtown restaurants, mini mart, supermarket, etc. There were a few items that we were unaware of before we got there. The one bedroom is only accessible via leaving the house (the one with the butterfly wall), which wasn't good for us with kids so we didn't use that room. The listing didn't say that room is only accessible via an outside spiral stairwell or if you walk through the master bedroom. The house furniture was beach ready and comfortable. Lots of linens and pool and bath towels. We used the washer and dryer often and they were great! The TV in the main area was very small - during our stay maybe 20 inches, which we would have preferred a larger main living area TV. Streamed Netflix etc well and good wifi. The TV in our master didn't work but we didn't try to hard; as we weren't there to hang int he bedroom with such an amazing view downstairs. The house came with hand soap, shampoo and conditioner in each bathroom which as an American you would think means you can use it and not pay - that wasn't the case and wasn't communicated but the management company, but they reimbursed us the $300+ dollar they charges us for the soap after we left. Overall great stay, the management co., housekeeping, lawn care, and security guards were all wonderful. PS buy the Secuirty guards pizza they love it :)

We had a great 2 week stay. The house is enormous. The 5 bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, desk area, balcony, comfortable beds and great views were top rate. The kitchen is well appointed and the common areas are full of windows looking out onto the waters of Playa Hermosa. There were an abundance of towels and beach chairs/floats. We drove to several nearby coves/beaches but Playa Hermosa was only a short walk and in addition to the beach, had assorted restaurants and bars as well as a convenience store. An added bonus was that arrival necessities were already in the house - toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap and dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, garbage bags, coffee filters etc. - all stuff you can't live without but sometimes have to go fetch when you arrive. All very well managed.

Loved the location and views of this wonderful home. My family had a wonderful stay we enjoyed a catamaran trip and playing on the beach. We enjoyed seeing monkeys in zip lining and eating at the lazy town of playa Hermosa. Thanks to the attention of the sweet management for all your help arranging activities!

This was the PERFECT house for our blended family of seven adults! The views are beyond phenomenal, the infinity pool is clean and refreshing, the house is gorgeous and extremely well kept. We had everything we needed there.....including beach towels, beach chairs and a cooler bag.....and all the kitchen appliances, pots and pans, utensils, plates, cups, glasses, etc. that you will need. And did I mention the views??!! We had excursions daily, but it was so nice to come home to this lovely property and watch the beautiful sunsets every evening. Zindis was very easy to work with, and the house manager Gus was very responsive to questions and phone calls, and informative about the surrounding area and where to eat, shop, etc. The house is gated, and also in a gated community with a 24 hour security guard, so we always felt safe. Not that we needed to, as Playa Hermosa seems to be a safe area, and the locals are all very friendly and helpful. Although most excursions seem far away, they are really not too bad to commute to. Diving was 10 minutes away in Playa del Cocos, hiking to La Leona waterfall was only an hour away, white water rafting Class III and IV rapids was an hour away. We did go to Monteverde for waterfall rappellilng (canyoning) and that was a 2.5 hour drive, but definitely worth it. And if you're in that area, Kapi Kapi restaurant is a MUST! Amazing food and family owned, it was by far the best meal we had in Costa Rica. Look no further than this property.....you will NOT regret staying here. Did I mention the views???

Lots of room to gather together and plenty of space when someone wanted privacy. The property management people were wonderful. They went out of their way to help us get our Covid testing completed for re-entry to the US.

We rented this beautiful property with our adult children. We loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom ensuite. The common areas were well thought out and the pool area was perfect for our sunset drinks. Each day we visited a different beach with a picnic lunch. For big waves we drove about 40 minutes to Playa Cabuyal. We visited Playa Panama twice and enjoyed a cold beer before going home at Hacienda Blu. Being so close to the airport was plus, about 20 minutes. After a long day of travel, it was nice to get to the house quickly. The staff with Zindis Group were all very helpful and nice. Ian helped us arrange our sunset sailboat excursion (which was a great time!) and Gus was great with our transportation needs. It was a perfect holiday. Thank you!

Our group of 10 (five couples) stayed 4 nights at Dos Vistas. We spent most of our time at the house relaxing on the back patio and in the pool. The view is truly stunning. There are beautiful birds in the trees and poolside throughout the day and evening. The pool was big enough to accommodate our group and offered maybe the best view on the property. The backyard was visited by the occasional raccoon-like coati and even an armadillo. We heard howler monkeys early in the mornings. There was always a nice breeze up on that hillside. The house had almost everything we needed including a well equipped kitchen. They could us a pool skimmer so you could more easily scoop out all the leaves and flowers out of the pool daily. The only complaint we all shared was the rock hard beds and pillows. If you like a firm mattress and overstuffed pillows, you’ll love it. We would recommend they put some plush mattress toppers and softer pillows on each bed so guests can get a more comfortable night of sleep to truly enjoy their stay in this paradise. Also, we think one of the beds seemed to be full size, not queen size. You will need a rental car, which we had, to explore the area. The hill up/down into town and beach is likely way too steep for most folks to walk it. It was pretty easy to find our way around. The Waze app is much more reliable here than Google maps. Also, WhatsApp is a must for faster communication with staff here. They were helpful in arranging a Valentine’s Day afternoon snorkel and sunset dinner catamaran cruise with Tico Tours that our whole group enjoyed. I would recommend this home for friends or family traveling together. Enjoy the stunning sunsets! Pura Vida!

I stayed here with my 5 adult children and their 3 spouses to celebrate my 60th birthday. The house was immaculate and was well stocked with all the essentials. I didn’t even need to break into the toilet paper and paper towels I had bought. You can definitely tell this is someone’s home they are graciously sharing with others. The pool was very clean and the temperature refreshing… watch out for the wet tile though! The view is amazing! The patio was our favorite place to watch the sunset. Many lower locations you cannot see the full sunset. I know some viewers mentioned the driveway. It is steep but our 2 wheel drive had no problem going up the hill and there is plenty of flat space at the top for multiple cars and turning around. My deepest apologies to the owners for our few mishaps that occurred during our stay. We really appreciated the time at your beautiful house. Hopefully we will be welcomed to stay again. :) You will not regret booking this house for your vacation!

This home was perfect for our family Christmas this year. The rooms are spacious and all have beautiful views except one that is a garden view but still lovely. The kitchen is spacious and great to cook in. Great laundry facilities with lots of towels provided for the beach. We had two children (5 and 2.5) and they provided high chairs for us and great pool toys. There were 9 at our turkey dinner on Christmas sitting at the big round table with a sunset in the backdrop. There is another table by the pool where we ate most often. We watched sunsets every night overlooking the valley and ocean, swimming in the pool and enjoying cocktails. Zindis group (Ian) was wonderfully responsive in helping us arrange anything we needed. We all really enjoyed the El Diamante and even enjoyed the buffet lunch there. Ian arranged for us to get Covid tests in the home which was so convenient and we had the house cleaned mid- vacation for a very reasonable cost. The ground crew did a great job in keeping the pool clean. We signed up for the catamaran cruise and realized too late that it was unsuitable for young children so half our group went back which was a waste of money and a big disappointment. You need a car to stay in this home and it is great to explore beaches and shop in the excellent grocery store in Coco (North American prices and more). This is a truly lovely home, well appointed and well managed. We couldn’t recommend it enough.

We loved our time as Dos Vistas! We are a family of six with a plus one: second generation ages range 18-29. The common area/kitchen was open with phenomenal views. The pool area was fantastic—most of our time was spent outside when we weren’t adventuring or dining. The pool was clean and perfect. The wildlife around the pool was great—howler monkeys could usually be heard, and occasionally seen. Green parrots squawked and pleasantly noisy gnatcatchers had nests in the poolside palms. A coati even ventured onto the pool deck right in front of us! There is plenty of seating around the pool area, floats, etc. All of the bedrooms are well appointed with comfy beds, ceiling fans, and wall AC. Bathrooms are spacious and beautiful. Great set up to give everyone privacy when needed. Kitchen was VERY well-stocked. We cooked several meals for our group and always had the pots and pans we needed, and a nice selection of plates/cups/bowls/glasses, including heavy plastic wine glasses for poolside. The only issue was not all of the gas stove burners were functional on our visit, but we alerted the house manager, so I am sure they will remedy that issue. We used those burners and the outside grill and we were fine. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, and well kept. We loved the intimacy of Playa Hermosa. You barely ever notice you have neighbors. We did drive to the beach/to dine, because the steep hill up to the house was daunting. We enjoyed Soda Hermosa, Ginger, and Aquasport, and all three were delightful. Zindis concierge, Ian, and house manager, Gus, were helpful and responsive, arranging for airport transfers, Covid tests, a wildly successful fishing trip with Go South Adventures, keys to/questions about the property. We weren’t always sure about who handled what, but they kindly helped us navigate it all. The view. I could go on for days about the view. We were mesmerized by this little slice of heaven. I’m probably making it my laptop screen saver—it’s just that beautiful.

They view was amazing! Each room with its own bathroom was so convenient when traveling with a group! The walk up and down the hill is exhausting. We would suggest renting a car. We loved the vibe, the excursion opportunities and the views of Costa Rica!

My wife and I spent a most wonderful week here. The house is beautiful and the view is breathtaking. We've enjoyed sunsets in several other places around the globe, but none as fantastic as we witnessed here. I can honestly say that this was the most relaxing vacation we have ever had.Hopefully we can return again in the future.

My stay here was absolutely beautifull. The views are all but paradise and the accommodations are near perfect. Four suites in one home open air living space is awesome.

Words cannot describe the full beauty of the home. Very spacious. Plenty of room for everyone. Sunset from the terrace is like nothing you will see anywhere else. Kept very clean and the care takers went out of their way to accommodate us.
