3BR Villa in Peninsula Papagayo

Maegen

Excellent, 2 months ago

We loved our visit to Shan's place. The penthouse was beautiful, clean, and spacious for our group of 8. The kids loved the bunk beds. The host/concierge was very responsive and attentive. I loved that housekeeping was included! The views were incredible and the golf cart was perfect. We highly recommended staying here!

Our stay at this Airbnb was absolutely wonderful. The space was beautiful, thoughtfully decorated, and incredibly clean—everything felt fresh, comfortable, and well cared for from the moment we arrived. The hosts were fantastic. They were welcoming, attentive, and quick to respond to any questions, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. Their kindness and attention to detail really stood out. This Airbnb was the perfect place to relax and unwind, and it made our trip even more enjoyable. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and welcoming place to stay.

We had such a memorable stay at Villa Mila. The space itself is gorgeous and incredibly spacious, and we loved that every bedroom had its own balcony and patio area. Renting golf carts was a game changer for exploring the peninsula and made getting around so easy and fun. Some of our favorite moments included countless monkey sightings right from the villa, a delicious private dinner at the house by chef Gustavo, and afternoons at the beach clubs at the various resorts nearby. One piece of honest feedback: the concierge service was inconsistent in the weeks leading up to our trip. We were passed between three different points of contact, which led to some miscommunication and missed details. Given the price point, we expected that part of the experience to feel more seamless and it caused a lot of back and forth during the trip itself which was frustrating while actively on vacation. That said, the villa itself is truly special and we left with so many wonderful memories!

The home is absolutely stunning, beautifully designed, incredibly comfortable, and the views are truly spectacular. Pictures don’t even do it justice. It felt very private, peaceful, and we also felt very safe since it’s tucked away in a gated community. A special shoutout to Ruth, who was incredible from start to finish, she arranged our transportation and was always there anytime we needed her. She truly made our stay seamless and stress-free. One of my favorite little details was the amazing water pressure after long days at the beach, such a small thing that made a big difference! A few helpful tips for future guests: the golf cart is a must, it makes getting around so much easier and more enjoyable. Be sure to stock up on water before arriving at the home. And definitely take advantage of the Four Seasons resort pass, it’s absolutely worth it and really elevates the experience. Can’t wait to visit again!

We had an incredible stay at this home. The house itself is absolutely amazing—beautifully designed with stunning décor that makes every space feel both luxurious and comfortable. The location is perfect, with so much to do nearby. Whether you’re looking to relax or explore, everything is easily accessible and adds to the overall experience. The concierge service was also fantastic—responsive, helpful, and made our stay seamless from start to finish. Highly recommend this property. We would definitely come back!

Our second year in a row staying at Vila Mila and absolutely love this place. Ana our concierge was amazing and was always available for anything we needed. The Penthouse is beautiful and the view is absolutely amazing. Housekeeping came in every day and left our place spotless every day. Location couldn’t have been better and we are planning on visiting again next year. Mark

One of the best Airbnbs we have ever stayed in! Highly recommend. If you’re choosing between here and the Four Seasons, go here!

Host Response

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We’re truly honored that you consider it one of the best Airbnbs you’ve ever stayed in. It means a lot to us. We’re especially grateful for the comparison to the Four Seasons, that’s incredibly kind. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would love to welcome you back anytime.

Shan’s place is amazing. It’s incredibly luxurious, beautifully decorated, and comfortable. Peninsula Papagayo is a magical place with unlimited activities for family members of all ages. We surfed, fished, went boating, saw dolphin, went snorkeling, and ate at amazing restaurants. The Prieta Beach Club is a special place where we spent most of our days. Shan was a great host and could not have done a better job. This was hands down the best Airbnb we have ever stayed at. If you have an opportunity to come here, take it!

Host Response

Brian, thank you for the incredible review! I’m so happy your family loved Villa Mila and got to enjoy Papagayo—I can’t agree more about the experience at Prieta Beach Club. You were wonderful guests and took great care of the penthouse. We’d be honored to host you again anytime!

We loved our stay at Shan’s place. The villa was beautiful just like the pictures. The place was spotless with new furnishings and everything we needed for an amazing stay. We stayed with 6 people and would have had room for several more. The beds were very comfortable, the balconies and infinity pool were amazing. One thing to note the nearest market was pretty far. But you can ask the concierge and they helped us arrange grocery delivery. The concierge also helped with recommendations and with getting us day passes for Andaz and Four Seasons. We saw howler monkeys and one day about 20 capuchin monkeys came to our kitchen window. A+++I would highly recommend and stay there again.
