⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Perfect – Photos Don't Do It Justice! Our family had a flawless stay at Casa Ola Aloha! To put it simply: the pictures on the listing do not do this spectacular home any justice. It is even more beautiful in person! The house itself was absolutely perfect and immaculately clean, equipped with everything we could possibly need to feel comfortable and at home. Highlights of Our Stay: Amazing Amenities & Pool: The home is loaded with great amenities, and we spent so much of our time enjoying the fantastic private pool. Exceptional Service: The maid service paired with a delicious breakfast every morning was truly exceptional and made our vacation feel like a luxury retreat. Great Location: We loved the positioning of the house. It is within easy walking distance to a gorgeous beach with spectacular views, yet only a convenient 30-minute drive from all the main beachfront activities in Tamarindo. We had an unforgettable vacation and highly recommend this home!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Ola Aloha, with our family of 11 with young kids. Pool and living space were great. Nearby access to many beaches. Enjoyed the beach club too. Janet the house keeper was friendly and made great breakfasts. Thanks for a great trip.

The house was beautiful and luxurious, with all the amenities needed for a great stay. Highly recommend. Janett was fantastic! she came to the house every morning, and helped with breakfast and anything that needed cleaning, which made me feel like I was staying at a hotel and not an Airbnb! My only feedback to the hosts would be 1) I got a weird message the day before checking out reminding us to not steal the provided shampoo and conditioners around the house, which was weird .... and a bit insulting :), and 2) the Airbnb property information said check out was at 11, but it is actually at 10 am. I provided both of those feedbacks to the host and he was responsive and receptive of the feedback.

Casa Ola Aloha is a dream! The house is gorgeous, the amenities impressive, and our housekeeper Jeanette was a doll. We will treasure the memories we made during our stay. The pool was awesome, but it required more cleaning due to the leaves and insects falling in the pool all the time. We had our share of locusts that prevented us from having dinner Al fresco. But hearing the sounds of the birds and an occasional howler monkey reminded us that we were in Costa Rica. The private beach was divine. Most of all, Joel and the entire staff have been very accommodating, responsive, and excellent at communicating with us to provide us what we need. And I think this is what makes this ABNB stand out.

generally, the house was amazing and very clean. the house staff was excellent. the sunbeds never got any sun but that is the architect's fault!! the hacienda Beach nearby was not great. crocodile warnings and no towels left a bad taste. the hotel nearby was too expensive to use as amenities. for our group it was $1000 per day. Joel counted on us reading their online info. the greeting person could have told us that we had to take house towels to hacienda Beach etc. we spent a lot of time in tamarindo. that is the best solution. so rent a car. but not through Joel as they didn't get it for us. overall, great house, but wrong location. and Joel can shape up his team a little bit. they did try harder towards the end but not enough to leave a better taste.
