6BR Luxury Villa in Peninsula Papagayo

Sarah

Excellent, 7 months ago

Amazing staff! How was perfect for the 8 of us. Wonderful trip!

We had the trip of a lifetime at Villa Nambi. From the meticulous planning and coordination with Mario & Emily to the incredible staff who took care of us during our stay, not a detail was missed. The service from the entire Viridian team was truly top-notch. We traveled to Villa Nambi with extended family for my birthday. Our large group included kids from ages 2 to 17 and kids at heart from ages 40 to 80. I share this to emphasize that a trip here has something for everyone! While we loved our time lounging at Villa Nambi and spotting wildlife while splashing in the pool, we all found activities nearby to enjoy. The included boating & fishing trips were highlights for all of us. What made the trip unforgettable was the stellar service at the house from Jeffrey, Carlos & Victor. Every day I thought “they’ve outdone themselves!” and the next day they would do or make something else spectacular. It was so hard to say goodbye to Villa Nambi. Thank you for the amazing trip & birthday!

Dear Mat and Emily - Thank you for an exceptional 5+ star experience at villa Nambi. Your team and the experiences with viridian was outstanding. The deep-sea fishing and ski boat experience were exceptional with top of the line and new equipment. The house well maintained - better than the photos - but the best part was the service team that made the stay in Costa Rica unforgettable for our friends and us.

Our family of 3 teenagers and 4 adults really had the most peaceful experience over our week at Villa Nambi. The positive energy of the home is what made our experience so magical. The entire time we were there we felt the caring service that helped us relax, enjoy snd soak in the Viridian Experience. We appreciated the Costa Rica natural beauty, including the birds, howler monkeys, and lizards who we got to see up close from the pool and hot tub. We also loved going around the Peninsula Papagayo by golf cart and electric bikes. Both of our boat tours were filled with adventures made possible by the most captains & trusted guides. We loved taking advantage of the beach resort & the zip line/ropes course. One day, we took a longer excursion to a private nature preserve and took a hike to a secluded waterfall. Most importantly, we appreciated the kindness of our host Jeffrey, chef Jackson, Emir, Leyla, Geo, captain Jimmy, and the whole team of Villa Nambi! Book it! You’ll love it.

Host Response

Rahul, thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. Thank you for being so good to us and best of all to our on-site team. They really had an amazing time hosting your family. We would love to have you back any time… hopefully sooner than later!! Best, Emily and Mat

First off let me just say this place is awesome!!! The location is fantastic, you are a stones throw away from a very nice private beach. The pool is perfect for cooling off or enjoying a drink in. The house is amazing. But what really made this stay amazing was the staff. We traveled with a party of 14. 1 infant, 2 toddlers, 3 teenagers, and a bunch of adults. This is an all inclusive experience, they cook for you, clean up after you, plan outings, basically whatever you need. (They will also give your son however many chocolates bars he asks for…:)But what makes this place special is the people. Emily and Matt helped us navigate getting to Nicaragua, from COVID requirements, to arranging airport pick up. Once we arrived, Victor(the butler) was cheerful and made sure we had anything we needed. While we were there Victor and Juan went out of there way to make friends with my 3 year old son and treated him like he was their own son. Juan (the chef) will cook whatever you ask him to and let me tell you, it will be delicious! He was always very attentive to wether we needed a stack or smoothie. Hazel the house keeper was always willing to grab our 3 month old even when he was fussy. Every morning she made sure the rooms were clean and we had fresh towels if we needed. Rafael (Hazels husband the grounds keeper and driver) was always very helpful. Always willing to take a load off your hands or drive you to go golf or to go out on the boat. Kathrine the baby sitter worked soooo hard to entertaining the Toddlers and make sure my wife and I had some quite times! By the time we left they all felt like family. My son especially already misses Juan and Victor. Overall this was an incredible trip and we are hoping to come back and spend some more time at this wonderful place!

What a trip! The house is beautiful and the staff was amazing. Everyone worked so hard to make sure we had a phenomenal stay and get us anything we needed. The food was first class - we had 4 adults and 7 kids and everyone loved the meals. David and Nicole did a wonderful job with the food choices, preparation and presentation. The boat was a major plus and the beach club access was perfect. It was a 5-star trip and we’ll certainly be back to stay at the house again.

Villa Nambi This house is incredible. my wife and i slept in the master bedroom and you wake up in the canopy of the Guanacaste National park. You are at the top of the canopy with windows looking out little monkeys that swing around. You have a personal host who will show you the most fun things to do in the area, can entertain the kids, and who can also take you on the boat and teach you how to catch fish. Everything is state of the art in the house and has many nuanced design touches. You can walk to the beach or be taken with the golf cart. The house comes with a full staff and chefs and their service is impeccable. You have everything you could ever imagine. A beautiful boat with a captain to take you spear fishing and deep sea fishing or surfing at witch’s rock or rock jumping or tubing. Also, the four seasons is the most beautiful hotel near by if you want to go out to dinner or breakfast or use the gym or hang by the pool and meet other guests . Sunset cruise on the boat is a must as well. I will be renting this house for years to come. I’ve never had a better vacation in my life. If you like full service staff amenities and non stop activities and action this is the best place on earth. Go!
