The views from this property are amazing. The host was very helpful when we had issues or questions. While the property is a little distance from groceries and restaurant's it worked well for our group. We know the area so it was not much of an issue to drive places for us.

The house is stunning and spacious!

Our group of 4 couples had an amazing stay. The views from the pool are second to none. We had a great time at the Adventure Park, white water rafting, cruising on a catamaran, and exploring Tamarindo. Nicole does a wonderful job communicating and making sure your needs are met. Yancy prepared excellent meals each day. They truly make a great team, highly recommend a stay here!

We loved our week at Hacienda Diamante! First of all, if you rent a car, heed the warnings about needing an SUV. While we didn’t have to use the 4 wheel drive, getting up the very steep switchbacks to the house is a bit harrowing. However once you do, it is gorgeous. The view is stunning! We also loved all the wildlife - we had an iguana who hung out on the roof all week, green parrots in the trees, hummingbirds and dragon flies. We loved watching all the crazies doing the Superman zip line right by the house. The rooms were spacious, the beds were comfortable and all rooms had their own AC. We hung out in the gorgeous pool a lot. Meals were easy, we just told Nicole what we wanted for dinner and the next day’s breakfast each day. She also shopped for snacks and drinks each day. If you have a day to do so, have Nicole arrange a boat charter. We had a blast doing that! We would definitely stay here again!

9 friends and I rented this house for my 40th birthday. We were overwhelmed by the property, Nicole's attentiveness (on-location concierge), outstanding food and over the top hospitality. The pictures do not do the house justice -- it is far more beautiful than any picture can capture. A sample of the flora and fauna at the house, viewed from the pool: howler monkies, resident iguanas, parrots and lots of tropical birds, variegated squirrels, hummingbirds by the Lobelia every 20 mins... it was incredible! A few notes: - Absolutely 100% you need a 4x4 coming up the road. It is very steep and my friend didn't get a 4x4 and barely made it up. He swapped for a 4x4 on day 2. - The master bedroom on the right, when walking into the house, has lower water pressure than the master on the left. - The scorpions are not poisonous - Listen to all Nicole's suggestions and introductions, especially her driver and diver referral. Outstanding private drivers, ask for Jose! Outstanding Diving -- Rich Coast Diving. - Listen to Nicole's suggestions on tips. Your tip at the end of the stay will pay for the crew of 9. Her tip is included in what she suggests. As you know, Costa Rica is very expensive, so if you are able, tip more than what she suggests. I can't recommend this house and team enough. Thank you!

Nicole, our host, was very good communicating with us. She recommended the use of their service and cook for an additional fee but we declined. We should have used them. The house is not easy to get to and is 30 minutes from restaurants. It would have been much easier. This house is beautiful and spacious with many amenities. Our only problem was with the hot water. It didn't work in 2 of the bathrooms until Nicole taught us how to reset the mechanism. Then it worked great.

Our group of 7 had an absolutely wonderful time. We all agreed that the pictures on vrbo did not do it justice. Like other people mentioned, the drive way that is shared with the superman zipline station is the steepest road I have ever been on. But is mostly paved and a 2 wheel drive was able to get up and down no problem. Nicole was an excellent resource for the area and our cook was amazing. The staff plus the location and the quality of the house made this an unforgettable vacation that all future vacations will be measured against. You will not regret vacationing here.

beautiful, clean, quiet, just gorgeous
