Hands down Villa Sozo, FiveStar, the area in and around Tamarindo and the entire vacation far exceeded our family's expectations for an 8 day stay! The house staff including Ivette, Janin and David were phenomenal. The breakfast prepared fresh daily and how spotless they kept Villa Sozo inside and out was superb. Romi, the FiveStar concierge, was so helpful both before and during our trip. Truly an amazing staff, an amazing place to stay with unforgettable accommodations, amenities and sunsets and we are looking forward to a return someday. Highly recommend FiveStar and Villa Sozo!

Such an amazing home and team. We had a large group of 4 families. Everything was perfect, excellent communication and coordination of arrival, excursions, and activities. The staff was incredible and excellent breakfast was provided daily. We would love to return. I didn’t think it was possible for the house to be better in person than the pictures, it was!

Romi and the staff took care of our group of 19 wonderfully! Romi was super easy to work with and was always available via text. All our adventures were well coordinated, the golf carts were lovely to get around town. The pool was amazing and we wouldn’t change a thing! Thanks so much and pura vida!

Sozo is unmatched. Our family has spent the last decade traveling the world and have never had an experience like we had had Sozo in Tamarindo. The minute we arrived we were greeted by our shuttle drivers in style with new top line, and spotless shuttle vans. When the gates to the property of Sozo opened, Paradise really began. We were greeted by the most kind and professional staff we have ever experienced. My wife, children, and I actually shared lots of hugs and tears with the entire staff the day we left,They are absolutely amazing, and became family after eight days ☺️. Sozo is an impeccable condition, and the most beautiful home we have ever stepped foot in. The pool was the main attraction overlooking the ocean. The adults in our group had equally as much fun as the children jumping from the waterfall into the pool, listening to Sonos with a Costa Rican cocktail while the kiddos made laps down the slide. There’s not a bad room in the house. Every room is absolutely beautiful with beds more comfortable than back at home. The two 6-seater lifted golf carts are so great. We took these into town and the beach multiple times a day, no more than a three minute ride. Words & pictures we saw online do not hardly do justice. We will be back!!

We had such an amazing time at Villa Sozo in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. We took the trip with 19 family members (9 adults and 10 kids) and there was plenty of room for everyone. The staff was so accommodating and helpful. The breakfasts each morning were perfect, fresh and plentiful. The Villa is gorgeous and has everything you would need/want for a fun vacation! You are a 5 minute golf cart ride to the beach which was perfect for surfing for all levels and just gorgeous. The guys from the house would set up a canopy and beach chairs for us whenever we wanted. The villa is right off the main strip of Tamarindo so it is a quiet location but close to all the shops and restaurants if you wanted to explore. We felt very safe the entire time and the management company is a text away to answer any questions or give recommendations. We hired a chef to cook dinner every night at the villa so we could all meet up and talk about our day. The deep sea fishing off Tamarindo is superb as well. We hope to visit this amazing property sometime in the near future!

Our group of 20 had an amazing time at Villa Sozo. The house is gorgeous and very spacious. The pool was large and the kids loved the large duck pool toys that the staff so graciously inflated for them. Concierge team was very helpful in setting up our activities of a private boat, eco adventure park, jet skiing, and chef services. Golf carts made it easy to get to the beach which was 3 mins away. The beach views and house amenities made it hard to leave the house. Would highly recommend.

Upon entering the villa, I was greeted by the friendly and attentive staff, who made me feel instantly at home. The villa itself is an architectural marvel, seamlessly blending modern design with traditional Costa Rican elements. The attention to detail in every corner was impressive, from the elegant furnishings to the carefully curated artwork that adorned the walls.My accommodation was nothing short of spectacular. The spacious and beautifully appointed room offered breathtaking views of the lush tropical gardens and the sparkling Pacific Ocean beyond. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep, and the private terrace provided the perfect spot to unwind and soak in the stunning surroundings.One of the highlights of my stay was the exceptional service provided by the staff. They went above and beyond to cater to my every need, ensuring that every moment of my stay was enjoyable. From arranging personalized excursions to recommending local hidden gems, their knowledge and dedication were truly outstanding.The villa's location in Tamarindo was ideal. It offered a peaceful retreat while still being conveniently close to the vibrant town and its array of restaurants, shops, and entertainment options. Whether I wanted to explore the local cuisine, take a surfing lesson, or simply relax on the pristine beaches, everything was easily accessible.The amenities at Villa Sozo were second to none. The infinity pool overlooking the ocean was a slice of paradise, and the beautifully landscaped gardens provided a serene setting for leisurely strolls.

Most beautiful house with amazing views. Everything was so well thought out in the design. One bedroom was more beautiful than the other and private from every other bedroom . Each bathroom was spectacular. The main living area offered an amazing open air inside to outside dining and relaxing environment. The kids had hours of entertainment in the stunning pool with the slide. Can’t wait to go back!!!

Only have good things to say about Villa Sozo and the management team. The property is modern, spacious, clean, has all the amenities you could need, the best views, and in a great location. Chef kept us fed well and maids kept the place clean throughout our stay. Management was very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Easy walk or golf cart ride to town, beach, and activities. Highly recommend. We can't wait to come back!
5.0 / 5.0
Our stay at Villa Sozo was nothing short of phenomenal. We were a group of 23 people - 10 adults and 13 children (5-13). The house itself is the perfect blend of enough space to gather together and space for quiet time. The sunset viewing from the upper pool deck and seating area (where we spent the most of our time) surprised and amazed us. The pool itself was one of the biggest features of the house - pool deck jumps, the window and the slide kept the kids and adults entertained for hours. While we used the golf carts - the walk to town was a little steep but very manageable (5 - 10 min walk) to beach and town. We enjoyed the beach, hired a chef for a number of meals, booked excursions through Five Star (who were available any time we needed them). Five Star concierges helped make our time memorable and easy to manage a group of 23! As we think about making this an annual event for our crew of five families - we are not sure we will ever find a house as perfect as this one. Great breakfast by Yvette the House Mom, plenty of ice and gathering areas, beautiful bedrooms, impeccable kitchen and a phenomenal staff. We created many memories on this trip to Costa Rica and anyone staying at Villa Sozo will not be disappointed.

We had an amazing stay. Everything was just perfect. The house staff helped with all of our needs, daily breakfast was plentiful, varied, and delicious. Each bedroom was gorgeous and comfortable. All of the bathrooms were spotless and luxurious. The views from the covered patio and pool were great. Our kids played in the pool all day! The slide and viewing window to the basement were a huge hit. We went into town and to the beach daily. It was a short walk (but steep hill) or an easy golf cart ride. We can't say enough about how perfect this vacation was. What a trip!
5.0 / 5.0
We had a wonderful vacation at Villa Sozo in Tamarindo. We were a family of 12 people ranging in ages from 93 to 3 months and the house was the perfect setting. It is beyond spectacular in every way. It is huge and extremely well-equipped including beach toys and a 6-passenger golf cart.
Every morning we enjoyed a beautiful extravagant breakfast by Yevette and the house was kept spotless by Daisy. Both of them enabled us to just enjoy the house and our family. The highlight of the house is the pool and outdoor space which we enjoyed all day long. The bedrooms are beautiful, quiet and private. Having a master suite on the main floor was key for my elderly parents as there are a lot of steps in the house.
The road to the beach and the center of town is dirt and a little steep in one section, but we easily got around town in the golf carts, (we rented a second one for the week) and felt safe driving with the kids in them as well.
There is an incredible saltwater fish tank which our grandchildren spent hours watching and we spent time jumping in the pool and watching each other from the window into the pool. The staff at Five Star Rentals were very responsive and we planned a few family outings with their suggestions. A highlight was the morning on a catamaran where we saw dolphins, turtles and enjoyed the spectacular scenery.
This house and Tamarindo were beyond our expectations for a wonderful fun filled family vacation and we hope to be back some day. Thank you Villa Sozo and Five Star Rental

Where do I start? There were 21 of us ranging from ages 5 months to 73-years-old. The house is absolutely one of the most Beautiful homes ever!! The level of detail from floating stairs, pool window, ceiling inserts, interior rock bed, stone sculptures walkway, fish aquarium (with an eel) and the list goes on, is AMAZING. The outdoor area is an oasis where we spent countless hours. Kids and adults took a dive from the top infinity pool to the bottom pool and enjoyed the slide. The gardens were meticulously maintained. THE owner’s suite was probably my favorite. There are very few words to describe it but breathless fits perfectly.The staff was great. Yvette and her entourage spent countless hours ensuring the home was clean and breakfast was delicious each morning. Breakfast is included each day with the exception of your final day.The gentleman who covered the grounds ensured the outdoor area was mopped, clean, pruned garden, and more. Ana and her staff ensured our needs were met and answered all of our questions before arriving and during our trip. We encountered two issues, clogged toilet and cool water hot tub. A technician was sent to repair within 24 hours.We hired a private chef each night, Pure Dream. The presentation and dinner was very good! We ate lunch at a nearby restaurant, Joe’s and watched World Cup. Food and waiter was very good. The activities alongside the beach were a good addition. We participated in horseback riding, soccer with the restaurant workers, massages which were two of the best masseuse encountered and enjoyed the beach.The excursions were fun and we hired a recommended photographer, Genna. She is such a sweet lady and provided some of the most beautiful pictures. We would use each one of the recommendations again on our next visit. The overall experience was one for the books that we will cherish for a lifetime. To the owner, this home allowed us to create some great memories!To Five

A fabulous week with a group of 19 adults and children. The pool was used almost constantly. The house staff were friendly, and very responsive. The included breakfasts were wonderful, with lots of variety. We loved playing in the ocean, although it felt safer on weekdays, when there were not as many surfers mixed in with the swimmers. The golf cart was very helpful--we should have rented another. The managers were very helpful in recommending and arranging for activities, restaurants, photographers, and even a chef. A PERFECT 50th anniversary celebration.

I really can't say enough amazing things about the property or the staff. If you have kids, they'll love jumping off the main level down into the pool all day long. My parents (in their 70s) did the same, and even rode the water slide! The decor and design of the home are nothing like you've experienced in a "rental". High end touches are everywhere. The staff took care of breakfast every day, even having smoothies ready for us when we returned from an excursion. I could go on and on. Just trust me... it's amazing.

What an amazing place. Views are spectacular, and this house was the nicest place we have ever stayed at. Kitchen and living areas were excellently appointed, the bedrooms were awesome, and the pool was unlike any other we’ve ever swam in. The kids spent hours going down the slide, jumping off the waterfall, swimming by the window, and throwing balls around. We had 10 people here for a family reunion, and there was plenty of space for everyone. Ana and Natalia were great at setting up dinner reservations, a private chef, zip lining, and a catamaran cruise. Yvette and crew cooked awesome breakfasts and took care of everything in the house. We would definitely stay here again. Fantastic vacation.

Beyond Our Wildest Expectations
We knew this home was special but even the pictures understated how amazingly gorgeous it was, down to the last detail. In fact, we were having fun trying to find something wrong with it. Spectacular is an understatement. And the Five Star Rental hosts could simply not have been more exceptional on every level. This was our 4th VRBO hosted rental in the last several years and while all have been great, none compared to Villa Sozo. Then again, none had 8 BRs, 9 1/2 Baths, an amazing pool set-up, and view of the Pacific Ocean sunsets. So, it had a big advantage going in, which in no way disappointed.

Villa Sozo was an absolute dream come true. The house is immaculate and so well laid out. We had a group of 17, with children ranging from 7-18 years. We had more than enough room for everyone to have space. All couples (4 of us) were able to have a master suite, with king bed and ensuite bathroom. The young kids took the bunk room, and absoultey loved it. Beds and bedding were luxurious!
In all honesty, the pictures don't do this home justice. It truly took our breath away when we walked in. The house is much bigger than it appears, and is more sprawling than you would think.
Ana and Natalia were amazing, and there to answer any questions, and set up all of our excursions, golf carts, dinner reservations, etc...Anytime I would reach out to them, we would get a response right away. Natalia came to the house every morning to check on us, and was there while breakfast was cooked. The housekeepers were great, and really stayed out of our way, but did an excellent job of cleaning while we were outside, and keeping it tidy. They always had fresh pool and beach towels waiting for us.
Kitchen was very well equipped. We hired a chef two nights, cooked at home two nights, and went out a couple of nights.
House feels extremely safe with house alarm, and a security guard outside from 5 pm - 5 am.
I would recommend renting golf carts for ease of getting to town and beach. We had massages set up at the house, that was a treat! As I mentioned, we rented a chef 2x while we were there (Gaston Garcon) which was fabulous to stay in and enjoy dinner there. The sunsets were the best I have ever seen, and can be viewed right on the patio.
Kids loved the waterslide and spent hours on it. The pool and hot tub were perfect for swimming or lounging.
With the house being so beautiful, we did not do many excursions as we just wanted to enjoy staying at Villa Sozo.
WE definitely want to come back!
In all honesty, the pictures don't do this home justice. It truly took our breath away when we walked in. The house is much bigger than it appears, and is more sprawling than you would think.

Villa Sozo was an absolute dream come true. The house is immaculate and so well laid out. We had a group of 17, with children ranging from 7-18 years. We had more than enough room for everyone to have space. All couples (4 of us) were able to have a master suite, with king bed and ensuite bathroom. The young kids took the bunk room, and absoultey loved it. Beds and bedding were luxurious! In all honesty, the pictures don't do this home justice. It truly took our breath away when we walked in.

AMAZING Property!
The house is everything you want in a vacation home. WE had 8 couples and everyone had plenty of space and privacy. The pool is huge for a vacation property and the upper level jacuzzi and sitting area was great. The out door space was phenomenal!
The house had everything you could want and need, and the staff was exceptional. We were especially grateful for multiple ice makers! The daily communication with Natalia via text was so helpful. The included golf cart was awesome to use to get groceries and drinks for the house. Town is a super easy walk from the house. The town was bigger and offered more than we expected!
We absolutely will be back to Tamarindo and this property!

The Villa more than met every expectation. Spacious, beautifully designed, comfortable, with every amenity, the pictures can’t do it justice. In fact, with all there is to do in CR, none of us felt the need to leave the expansive deck/terrace by the pool, with its view of the ocean and its overhead fans. The 3-tiered swimming pool complete with slide and waterfall provided all the fun and activity we wanted. Adding to the experience was the wonderful staff at Five Star Tamarindo. Natalia and Mario, with help from their trusted assistants, responded almost instantly to every request and made us feel pampered and cared for. This was an expensive vacation for our extended family of 13, as a reward for surviving a tough couple years, but I can say without a doubt, it was worth every penny.

Villa Sozo is truly a DREAM HOUSE
Villa Sozo is an awesome vacation Villa for large families or groups. The home itself is spacious and clean with immaculate details creating an inviting feeling. Every room is finished superbly. Every bedroom is large and equipped with the most plush and comfortable bedding. All in-suite closets and bathrooms are large with double sinks and adequate space for clothes, personal belongings and toiletries. Each shower has an overhead “rain” shower and a powerful hand-held shower head. The kitchen is huge with lots of counter space and every appliance is available. The dining room and table look out over the pool area and Pacific Ocean. The downstairs recreation room has a treadmill, free-weights, ping pong and foosball as well as a TV room. The housekeepers Kiani and others are there 8 hours a day and do a tremendous job with keeping the entire house clean and providing fresh bedding and towels every day. The outdoor grounds and pool area are large and well-kept by Davey, who also does a fantastic job. In fact, Five Star Tamarindo has done a fantastic job with every aspect of the house. Ana and Natalia are FIVE STARS themselves. I would highly recommend this place and look forward to returning very soon! Thanks for making this vacation truly special.
