Beautiful place and the view is terrific! Simon has been a great host and offering great suggestions. 4x4 is needed to access the house, better arrive during day time for the first ride. Worth it!

The house is BEAUTIFUL, exactly as shown in the photos, and the view is unparalleled. It's definitely worth staying in this house. It's super comfortable and equipped with everything you need. Of course, it is important to note that only 4x4 vehicles can go up to where the house is.

La casa es HERMOSA, igual a las fotos y la vista no tiene comparación. Definitivamente vale la pena quedarse en esta casa. Es super cómoda y está equipada con todo lo que se necesita. Eso si, es importante que tomen en cuenta que solo suben carros 4x4 hasta donde está la casa.

It's a spectacular place. The view is incredible. The sunrises and sunsets just look beautiful. It's super private. The house is huge. The rooms and beds are very comfortable. The bathrooms are beautiful. Overall, I really liked everything about this place. Highly recommended. We will definitely come back. You need a 4x4 car.

Es un lugar espectacular,la vista es increíble los amaneceres y los atardeceres simplemente se ven hermosos,es super privado la casa es enorme,los cuartos y camas muy confortable los baños son hermosos en general todo me gusto mucho en este lugar,super recomendable definitivamente volveremos,se necesita un auto 4x4

Great view , definitely need a 4x4 but you didn’t come to Costa Rica not to off road so it’s worth the drive up , the view is really 1 million bucks it was an amazing stay 🇨🇷

The property completely exceeded our expectations. Honestly, it's much more beautiful in person than in the photographs. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how impeccably clean and tidy the entire house was. Each space is perfectly furnished, with elegant, cozy and very well-maintained decor. You can feel the love and dedication in every detail. In addition, it has beautiful spots that are ideal for taking photos and enjoying as a family. The pool was extremely clean and in excellent condition, perfect for relaxing and sharing. The rooms are extremely spacious, comfortable and cozy, with very comfortable beds and spaces that are ideal even for families with children and babies. We felt very safe throughout the stay, as the area is quiet and the property conveys a lot of peace. Everything worked perfectly and the atmosphere was even better than expected. It was definitely one of our best Airbnb experiences, and we would definitely come back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

La propiedad superó por completo nuestras expectativas; sinceramente, es mucho más hermosa en persona que en las fotografías. Desde que llegamos nos impresionó lo impecablemente limpia y ordenada que estaba toda la casa. Cada espacio está perfectamente amueblado, con decoración elegante, acogedora y muy bien cuidada. Se nota el amor y dedicación en cada detalle. Además, tiene rincones preciosos ideales para tomar fotos y disfrutar en familia. La piscina estaba extremadamente limpia y en excelentes condiciones, perfecta para relajarse y compartir. Las habitaciones son demasiado amplias, cómodas y acogedoras, con camas muy confortables y espacios ideales incluso para familias con niños y bebés. Nos sentimos muy seguros durante toda la estadía, ya que la zona es tranquila y la propiedad transmite mucha paz. Todo funcionaba perfectamente y el ambiente era aún mejor de lo esperado. Sin duda ha sido una de nuestras mejores experiencias en Airbnb y definitivamente volveríamos. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It's a spectacular place, with a million-dollar view. The house is spectacular, simply beautiful, very comfortable, and very clean. The rooms have many more amenities than described. I loved the house. My family really enjoyed the place. My husband enjoyed having a delicious barbecue, and the grandparents and the kids enjoyed the pool. I enjoyed seeing my family very happy. Yes, a 4x4 vehicle is 100% necessary. It's close to many beaches.  The host is very attentive and helpful. This stay will remain in my heart forever ♥️.

Es un lugar espectacular, con una vista de millón de dólares, la casa espectacular, simplemente hermosa, muy cómoda y muy limpia. Las habitaciones con muchas más comodidades de las descritas. Amé la casa. Mi familia disfrutó muchísimo del lugar. Mi esposo disfrutó de hacer una deliciosa parrillada y los abuelitos y los niños de la piscina. Yo disfruté de ver a mi familia muy feliz. Si es 100% necesario el carro 4x4. Está cerca de muchas playas.  El anfitrión es muy atento y servicial. Esta estancia quedará para siempre en mi corazón ♥️.

The place is far from the description; it's a paradise!!!!!

El alojamiento se queda muy lejos de la descripción, es un paraíso!!!!!

A heavenly place, super quiet, with a simply spectacular view.

Un lugar Paradisíaco, súper tranquilo con una vista simplemente espectacular.

Our 4th stay at the mansion in Tambor Hills. We love the breath taking views and the tranquility. The house is aging a little but very much worth the money.

Wonderful stay. Be careful on the road going up to the residence, but wow, once you're at the top of the mountain, the view is breathtaking. A real favorite! The bedrooms each have their own private bathroom, ensuring comfort for everyone! Despite a few maintenance renovations, this villa is worth it! I recommend it. 🥰 Thanks, Simon, and to the daily maintenance man!

Splendide séjour, soyez prudents sur la route de la montée à la résidence mais wow une fois en haut de la montagne la vue est à couper le souffle Un gros coup de cœur ! Les chambres ont leurs salle de bain privée ce qui donne le confort pour tous ! Malgré les quelques rénovation d’entretien cette villas vaut le coup! Je le recommande 🥰 Merci Simon et à l’homme de maintenance journalier!

Like this place so much! Very private, quiet surrounding with excellent view 🤩 You need 4x4, around 10min road up to the mountain to get to the villa, but it worth it definitely) You will also have friendly local guy coming for few hours when needed, who will help with cleaning yard, the pool and other things. All facilities as described for comfortable stay. If you are looking for private place without noise and dust - it’s the best place! Pura vida!

We had an amazing stay. The house is enormous and very light and airy with lots of windows. The outside area was absolutely amazing. The pool is big and the views stunning. We saw lots of wildlife in the garden (monkeys, coatis and birds). The only downside, and that is just a lazy people problem, was that you have to do your own washing up as their isnt a dishwasher that works. The deck chairs are on there last legs and need to be updated. But apart from that we would recommend staying here. The host was very accommodating and if we needed something or had any questions he replied promptly.

The view is amazing, it's worth the whole way to get there. The house has all the comforts for the family, we cooked almost all the meals there without any problems. The rooms have space for everyone to be comfortable. I would definitely come back, we were delighted.

La vista increíble, vale completo el camino para llegar ahí. La casa cuenta con todas las comodidades para la familia, cocinamos casi que todas las comidas sin problema allá. Las habitaciones cuentan con espacio para que todos nos encontremos cómodos. Definitivamente volvería, quedamos encantados.

The house is quite large and was spotless. The views are beautiful. The rooms are very comfortable and private. The house has everything you need to have a good time there. We went with pets and they had a great time too. Everything was perfect, we liked it a lot.

La casa es bastante grande y estaba impecable. Las vistas son preciosas. Las habitaciones son muy cómodas y privadas. La casa tiene todo lo necesario para pasar un buen tiempo ahí. Fuimos con mascotas y la pasaron muy bien también. Todo fue perfecto, nos gustó mucho.

The environment is phenomenal, peaceful and the views are breathtaking.  Simon is very responsive and friendly, just like Alfredo who was very helpful. However, the house is really difficult to access (the road was impassable when we arrived). There is a serious lack of maintenance of the house (moldy curtain, roof...), and the equipment is defective or aging (Air conditioning, Sanitary, Electricity). It's a shame because the house has everything you would expect for an exceptional place, really a shame for the level of standing.

L'environnement est phénoménale, paisible et la vue est a coupé le souffle.  Simon est très réactif et sympathique, tout comme Alfredo qui a était d'une grande aide. Toutefois, la maison est vraiment difficile d'accès (la route était impraticable a notre arrivé). Il y a un sérieux manque d'entretient de la maison (rideau moisie, toiture ...) , et les équipements sont défectueux ou vieillissant (Climatisation, Sanitaire, Électricité). C'est bien dommage car la maison a tout d'un lieux d'exception, vraiment dommage pour le niveau du standing.

Hello Mel, we apologize for the inconvenience. Raining season it’s usually hard for the road but once it got dry we fix the road and right now is in good conditions. We did everything you asked for. We cleaned again everything not charging an extra fee. If something broke we did our best to fix it as soon as possible. You eventually decided to stay with us for an extra week after your first reservation. Thank you for the comments, we will keep working on the details.

The place has a beautiful view, spacious house Our family decided to cook our entire stay and the kitchen was fully equipped, clean dishes Spacious bedrooms and bathrooms Access only 4*4 Accessibility for check-in We loved it

El lugar tiene una vista preciosa, casa amplia Nuestra familia decidió cocinar toda nuestra estadía y la cocina estaba completamente equipada, vajilla limpia Amplios cuartos y baños El acceso solamente 4*4 Accesibilidad para el check in Nos encantó

The property is as shown in the photos: spacious, very nice and with spectacular views. Access to the house requires a 4x4 vehicle, as the road is quite challenging, but it is certainly worth it. An amazing experience in a unique place!

La propiedad es tal cual se muestra en las fotos: amplia, muy bonita y con unas vistas espectaculares. El acceso a la casa requiere un vehículo 4x4, ya que el camino es bastante desafiante, pero sin duda vale totalmente la pena. ¡Una experiencia increíble en un lugar único!

This was our 3rd stay at the house and the view still takes our breath away. We love relaxing around the pool and having evening BBQs. There's air conditioning in the bedrooms, all worked well. Washing machine and tumble dryer, but unfortunately no dishwasher. Be sure to keep on top of it otherwise the Ants will come to have a snack. The house is huge and has many indoor and outdoor seating areas, as well as 3 sun loungers. The single track road up to the house definitely requires a proper 4x4. We learnt this the hard way on our first visit using an SUV and have used a 4x4 since for our 2nd and 3rd visit. The road condition has got harder this last visit. I agree with other reviews that parts of the house are looking tired. But these are forgiven due to the amazing pool and view. Simon is a great host, very responsive and helpful. We had a power cut one night and he was quick to rectify it when I contacted him in the morning.

A heavenly place. The sunrises are spectacular. All areas of the house are very clean and ready to use. To be repeated on our next visit to the area. Very friendly if you're traveling with small children.

Un lugar paradisíaco. Los amaneceres son espectaculares. Todos los espacios de la casa está muy limpios y listos para usar. Para repetir en nuestra próxima visita a la zona. Muy amigable si se viaja con niños pequeños.

First off, the reviews are correct, the road is no joke. It's a 2 mile climb on a road that was probably built in the 1980's and hasn't seen much maintenance since. It's a bone jarring 10 minute ride. Get a 4x4! Once you get there you realize it's so worth it! The view of the bay and the pacific ocean is amazing!! The pool is perfect for cooling off. Probably not ideal for small children as it's 5 feet deep with no shallow end. The outside veranda is large and relaxing! Howler monkeys paid us a vist 1 night at dusk! The house could use some updates, but the rooms upstairs are spacious with full baths, and comfortable beds throughout! We were there 12 days and the power went out twice. Both times the power was restored within a couple hours after Simon was informed. Alfredo was there every weekday morning, and was very helpful. The serenity, privacy and beauty of this place is something our family will always treasure! Man, what a view! Our thanks to Simon and Alfredo!

Beautiful Location! Magnificent view, with the best sunrises from any angle of the house with ocean views! Surrounded by nature and with excellent privacy . Comfortable and equipped. Simon attentive with timely responses and very friendly maintenance Alfredo and soon to resolve…

Hermosa Locación! Vista magnífica, con los mejores amaneceres desde cualquier ángulo de la casa con vista al mar! Rodeada de naturaleza y con excelente privacidad . Confortable y equipada. Simon atento con respuestas oportunas y Alfredo de mantenimiento muy amable y presto a resolver…

You won't beat the view. We enjoyed the pool and the incredible privacy. This is a great place if you want peace, quiet, and don't mind being in a remote location. The road up can be intimidating but it's really not that bad. It is about a ten minute drive up and down the mountain, but usually not much traffic. It is true that the house needs maintenance, but that doesn't affect the enjoyment. Increased maintenance would help it last for many more years. Simon was very responsive to all my inquiries. He even taught me how to make coffee the Costa Rican way. No regrets at all with our choice. It was a very enjoyed vacation, watching the sunrise from bed each morning.

Excellent view, very comfortable house, definitely the cart has to be 4x4.

Excelente vista, casa muy cómoda, definitivamente el carro tiene que ser 4x4.

Great villa with approach road can be improved

This place is a must see! Absolutely stunning views! So peaceful and private! Simon was extremely helpful and responsive. Any questions we had he answered right away. Alfredo the maintenance guy was very nice and helpful. Be prepared for seeing a few large insects at night and highly recommend a 4x4 vehicle for the off-road drive up the mountain- It is worth the drive up! Breathtaking! Thank you Simon, my family and I will be back!

The house is very well equipped, has quite a few rooms to accommodate and the beds are comfortable. The pool was fine but we noticed that it needed a little cleaning. The view the house has is incredible and you can sleep well as there is no noise around. It has quite a few common areas to eat and good parking space in front of the property. The house is very nice but it is somewhat neglected in certain details. There are many insects inside the house and there are broken cedazos that let them in. Access to the house is very difficult and can only be with 4x4, something we did not see in the listing of the property. Many cushions, armchairs, and chairs are cleaned with excess chlorine and cause one to feel the smell. In short it is a good option but there are details that must be cared for and improved.

La casa está muy bien equipada, tiene bastantes cuartos para acomodarse y las camas son cómodas. La piscina estuvo bien pero notamos que le hacía falta un poquito de limpieza. La vista que posee la casa es increíble y se puede dormir bien ya que no hay ruido alrededor. Tiene bastantes áreas comunes para comer y buen espacio de parqueo al frente de la propiedad. La casa es muy bonita pero se encuentra algo descuidada en ciertos detalles. Hay muchos insectos adentro de la casa y hay cedazos rotos que los dejan entrar. El acceso a la casa es muy difícil y sólo se puede con 4x4, algo que no vimos en el listado de la propiedad. Muchos cojines, sillones y sillas se limpian con exceso de cloro y provocan que uno se impregne del olor. En resumen es una buena opción pero hay detalles que se deben de cuidar y mejorar.

Simon was very responsive (within minutes of my messages) and Alfredo the groundskeeper was also great. The home is older, but beautiful and very spacious. I really enjoy newer, more modern homes/hotels, but this was such a unique place that the age of the home didn’t bother me at all. The surroundings, the view, and the pool are the absolute gems of this property—just amazing. We had a family of monkeys that came and visited us on three of our days and we were constantly surrounded by fascinating wildlife. We also enjoyed surfing and bioluminescent kayaking excursions within 30 minutes of the home. My wife and I, along with our five adult children thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Amazing view, very peaceful!  Lots of monkeys!  Simon was very responsive and helpful when we lost power.

The photos do not show how pretty the property is. Simon is always helpful and quick to respond. Cristina & Alfredo were great to work with on the interior & exterior maintenance/cleaning of the property. We were in the house for a month and enjoyed ourselves the entire time.

It is our second year in this house and it never disappoints, Simon's attention is very good and the house is beautiful with unparalleled views. The house occupies some small maintenance arrangements which were mentioned privately to Simón but do not prevent one from enjoying the property. Do not try to ignore the vehicle recommendation, a 4x4 is an agent. The only thing I consider would be fabulous an icemaker so as not to go down to the village, but a trip doesn't hurt. I always recommend this stay, we look forward to returning soon

Es nuestro segundo año en esta casa y nunca decepciona, la atención de Simón es muy buena y la casa es hermosa con vistas inigualables. La casa ocupa algunos arreglos pequeños de mantenimiento que se le mencionaron en privado a Simón pero no impiden que uno disfrute la propiedad. No traten de ignorar la recomendación de vehículo, un 4x4 es mandatario. Lo único que considero que sería fabuloso una máquina de hielo para no bajar al pueblo, pero un viaje no cae mal. Recomiendo este hospedaje siempre, esperamos volver pronto

We visited the house on a family walk, although it is true that the road may be a little steep when you get to the house. Everything will be worth it. An incredible view, the luxury accommodation, even nicer than the photographs, with ample spaces to accommodate a large group. The privacy and tranquility of the place will fascinate you. We loved it and we will really be back soon!! Thanks to Simón, he was always attentive.

Visitamos la casa en paseo familiar, si bien es cierto que puede que el camino te resulte un poco empinado al llegar a la casa todo habrá valido la pena. Una vista increíble, el alojamiento de lujo, aún más lindo que en las fotografías, con amplios espacios para alojar a un grupo grande. La privacidad y la tranquilidad del lugar te van a fascinar. Nos encantó y la verdad volveremos pronto!! Gracias a Simón, siempre estuvo atento.

The house is really great, very nice, nice view, neat, spacious and we would definitely go again!! We loved going and the time we spent on it.

La casa es realmente excelente, muy linda, buena vista, aseada, espaciosa y definitivamente volveríamos a ir!! Nos encantó haber ido y el tiempo que pasamos en ella.

Amazing views, especially at sunrise Great for larger groups as there are lots of areas to congregate and on-suite bathrooms was a big plus. The swimming pool was very special and used by all. It is on top of a mountain so make sure you have all you need as “popping out” to the store is a bit of an effort.

Awesome place to stay. My family had a great time here. You might see this in other comments, but it is a list to use a 4x4 (not necessarily just an SUV, but 4x4 is a most). Had great constant communications with Simon, always helpful for our needs.

Of the best Airbnbs….. The incredible view, the comfort of the rooms and the same. The house is beautiful with a pool perfect for the size of the house. Everything is super clean, exactly as shown in the photos. Simon, an impeccable host, the truth made our stay great

De los mejores Airbnbs….. La vista increíble, la comodidad de las habitaciones y la de las mismas. La casa es hermosa con una piscina perfecta para el tamaño de la casa. Todo súper limpio, tal cual las fotos. Simón un host impecable la verdad hizo de nuestra estadía grandiosa

Tambor Hills is simply spectacular. The house is beautiful, and the view is breathtaking. I’ve stayed here twice and would definitely stay a hundred times more. Simon is always communicative and is always responsive to any needs or requests we have. If you’re looking for peace and quiet in a luxurious secluded spot, with all the basic amenities, (and some additional good ones) for a perfect experience with family and/or friends, Tambor Hills is wothout a question the place you’re looking for.

Amazing house with a unique view. Recommended

Casa increíble con una vista única. Recomendada

Great place to share with friends. The house has large green areas that allow you to enjoy with our pets, incredible views and beautiful sunrises that we managed to see during our stay. It is very well equipped, has an air conditioner and the host was always attentive to our needs

Excelente lugar para compartir en familia o con amigos. La casa tiene amplias zonas verdes que permiten disfrutar con nuestras mascotas, increíbles vistas y amaneceres preciosos que logramos ver durante nuestra estadia. Esta muy bien equipada, cuenta con aire acondicionado y el anfitrion estuvo siempre pendiente de nuestras necesidades

Property is beautiful. But I agree with every review, you need a 4x4 to climb up to property. If you try to climb the mountain to get to the property without a 4x4 you will be in for a surprise. We lost power but it got restored after a couple hours. Overall, if you are looking for remote get away, this is the place.

A great place to share in large and family groups. The house and the views just like in the description, surprising. To get there 4x4, however it is worth it. The value for money is very good!!!! Simon is always clear and attentive. Trying to help at all times! We would definitely come back! We would definitely come back

Excelente lugar para compartir en grupos grandes y familiares. La casa y las vistas tal como en la descripción, sorprendentes. Para llegar se requiere carro 4x4 sin embargo vale la pena. La relación calidad precio es muy buena!!!! Simon siempre claro y atento. Tratando de ayudar en todo momento!!! Volveríamos sin dudas

The house is beautiful, spacious, super well equipped and comfortable. The place is private and quite The pool is very nice and the whole place has a spectacular view. We had a great time and Simon was always quite attentive and willing to help us. I recommend the place 100%.

La casa es hermosa, amplia, súper bien equipada y cómoda. El lugar es privado y tranquilo. La piscina está muy bien y todo el lugar cuenta con una vista espectacular. La pasamos muy bien y Simón siempre fue bastante atento y dispuesto a ayudarnos. Recomiendo el lugar al 100%.

A very nice villa with fantastic views and lots of privacy. Great location, and plenty of ways to do various things like cottage tours, boat tours, or patches. You definitely need a 4x4 car to get up the mountain. The host took care of all requests quickly. We stayed there for 19 nights and will be back again!

Einr sehr schöne Villa mit traumhaften Ausblick und viel Privatsphäre. Tolle Lage und viele Möglichkeiten um verschiedene Unternehmungen wie Quadtouren, Bootstouren oder St randbesuche durchzuführen. Man benötigt definitiv ein 4x4 Auto um den Berg hochzukommen. Der Gastgeber hat sich um alle Wünsche schnell gekümmert. Wir waren 19 Nächte dort und werden wieder kommen!

The house is amazing, lots of privacy and a perfect view. The rooms are very spacious, the furniture is in perfect condition and the kitchen is very well equipped. Definitely an great place to stay.

La casa es increíble, muchísima privacidad y con una vista perfecta. Las habitaciones son muy amplias, el mobiliario está en perfecto estado y la cocina muy equipada. Definitivamente un excelente alojamiento.

We returned to the mansion for the second year running, and it was just as beautiful as before. Lovely and private and surrounded by an amazing view. We hired a 4x4 this year and easily got up the hill road to the villa!

We had a great holiday, loved the pool, and the house had everything we needed. Simon and Alberto were great and were both very helpful when we needed something. Thank you

The house is like in the photographs, it is recommended to use fixed 4x4, it is not a suggestion, the road in summer was fine but I do not know in winter if it will be walkable. The place is quiet, the house infrastructure is well cared for and in the village there is everything it takes. There are details that take care of the house and were communicated to the host but they do not prevent the enjoyment of the house. It is only improvements that would make the experience better. Electricity left 3 times in our stay because monkeys damage the wires, and this affects the water but the electricity company is quick to fix it even on holidays. Simon was a caring and communicative host.

La casa es como en las fotografías, se recomienda utilizar 4x4 de fijo, no es una sugerencia el camino en verano estaba bien pero no sé en invierno si será transitable. El lugar es tranquilo, la infraestructura de la casa está bien cuidada y en el pueblo hay todo lo que se ocupa. Hay detalles que ocupan atención en la casa y se le comunicaron al anfitrión pero ellos no impiden el disfrute de la casa solo es mejoras que harían la experiencia mejor. La electricidad se fue 3 veces en nuestra estadía porque los monos dañan los cables, y esto afecta el agua pero la compañía de electricidad es rápida en arreglarlo incluso en días festivos. Simón fue un anfitrión atento y comunicativo.

The house is very large, with beautiful views and a spacious and clean pool. The house lacks adequate maintenance: the very deteriorated furniture, old and patched bedding, deteriorated walls and ceilings, the showers without a lid in the drain that causes bad odors in the bathrooms and rooms, no glass glasses (only plastics), no enough toilet paper or garbage bags, no shampoo. The house is very single on a mountain,so going to the beach is concerned about leaving things unsafe. The house seemed to have been a real mansion, however it already lacks maintenance and looks neglected and dirty.

La casa es muy grande, con vista hermosa y una piscina amplia y limpia. La casa carece de adecuado mantenimiento: los muebles muy deteriorados, ropa de cama vieja y remendada, paredes y techos deteriorados, las duchas sin tapa en el desagüe que ocasiona malos olores en los baños y habitaciones, no hay vasos de vidrio (solo plásticos), sin suficiente papel higiénico ni bolsas de basura, ni shampoo. La casa está muy sola en una montaña,por lo que ir a la playa preocupa por dejar las cosas inseguras. La casa pareciera haber sido una verdadera mansión, sin embargo ya carece de mantenimiento y se ve descuidada y sucia.

We stayed here for over a month with two families and there was plenty of room for 10 people with private bathrooms and a large table for us to eat together. The home was gorgeous and it didn't even compare to the view! The jungle is all around, the bay below, and several animal visitors including howlers, coati, and iguanas. The kids loved the pool and within an hour there were several restaurants and beach excursions to choose from on the days we went out. We love Montezuma and enjoyed a few days in Santa Theresa as well. Simon was very responsive to immediate maintenance needs and said he would be upgrading some things for future guests as we had some issues with WiFi, the road going up, and appliances. Alfredo comes a few times a week and is always super friendly and helpful. We really appreciated our time here. It was a true Costa Rican experience with many once in a lifetime memories made!

We had a fantastic time here! The house is beautiful and well thought out, the property and views are incredible- we felt very safe and at home. Simon was a super responsive host- thanks for everything!

An incredible place to enjoy nature, peace and as a family.

Un lugar increíble para disfrutar de la naturaleza, paz y en familia.

The place is fantastic but the road is steep and dangerous when is raining. 4WD is q must. The host and the people supporting her were very accommodating.

The view was worth the drive up the mountain, although we love a little adventure anyway! House had everything we needed and more! All staff was helpful and went above and beyond throughout our entire stay!

Wonderful place, the house is simply spectacular along with the beautiful view in front of the pool. Definitely a super recommended place to go with the family to clear and enjoy yourself.

Maravilloso lugar, la casa es simplemente espectacular junto con la hermosa vista que se tiene al frente de la piscina. Definitivamente un lugar súper recomendado para ir con la familia a despejarse y disfrutar.

The place is spectacular, just like the photographs, an ideal place to walk with family or friends, the views, the photo spots, are spectacular, the 4x4 if it is essential does not go up a 4x2, it is a perfect place to disconnect, we had a vacation as we expected

El lugar es espectacular, tal cual las fotografías, un lugar ideal para pasear con la familia o amigos, las vistas, los spots de fotos, son espectaculares, el 4x4 si es indispensable no sube un 4x2, es un lugar perfecto para desconectarme pasamos unas vacaciones tal cual esperábamos

La casa es super linda, espaciosa y con vistas increibles. Aunque está localizada en plena montaña se siente súper seguro y no tuvimos ningún problema en ese sentido. Se necesita carro 4x4 ya que el camino está muy feo. El unico inconveniente fue que la bomba de la piscina no funcionaba y nadie supo explicarnos como poder accionarla manualmente, ni siquiera en la noche se activó lo cual hace que el agua se vea turbia. The house is beautiful, spacious and with incredible views. Although it is located in the middle of the mountain, it feels super safe and we did not have any problems in that regard. 4x4 car is needed since the road is very ugly. The only drawback was that the pool pump did not work and nobody could explained us how to manually activate it; not even at night it was activated which makes the water look cloudy.

What a beautiful villa and the view is amazing both day and night! The house is huge the rooms are all very nice. I agree with other reviews that you definitely need a 4x4, as we attempted it with a 4x2 and got very stuck on the steep bits. Luckily Simon's amazing team helped us out and got us up the hill!

Spacious, private, comfortable and well equipped house for group enjoyment. The pool is generous and the views are spectacular. Sunrise is amazing! I recommend planning your stay to spend plenty of time in the house and the surrounding area, because it's worth it.

Casa espaciosa, privada, cómoda y bien equipada para disfrute grupal. La piscina es generosa y las vistas son espectaculares. ¡El amanecer se aprecia increíble! Recomiendo planificar la estadía para pasar abundante tiempo en la casa y los alrededores, porque vale la pena.

Great house, great views, nice bedrooms. Yes a 4WD is a must.

The house is beautiful, very comfortable, the view is spectacular, all the amenities, very clean and has the basic utensils for a comfortable stay with family and friends.  During our stay, we received very good treatment and attention as soon as we needed it. They quickly resolved some unforeseen maintenance issues that arose such as the change of a burned pool light and problems  in one of the bathrooms.  Ideal for holidays with children.  We take our dogs and there is plenty of space for them.  There are maintenance details that could be improved, for example, in the kitchen the dishwasher does not work; but in general there is everything you need to cook and enjoy the experience very much. Highly recommended to disconnect and spend an unforgettable vacation, thank you for all the attention!

La casa es hermosa, muy cómoda, la vista espectacular, todas las comodidades, muy limpia y cuenta con los utensilios básicos para una estadía confortable en familia y amigos.  Durante nuestra estadía recibimos un muy buen trato y atención en cuanto lo necesitamos, nos resolvieron rápidamente algunos imprevistos de mantenimiento que se presentaron como el cambio de una luz quemada  de la piscina y problemas  en uno de los baños.  Ideal para vacaciones con niños.  Llevamos a nuestros perros y hay mucho espacio para ellos.  Hay detalles de mantenimiento que podrían mejorar  por ejemplo en la cocina la lavadora de platos no funciona; pero en general se cuenta con lo necesario para cocinar y disfrutar mucho la experiencia. Altamente recomendado para desconectarse y pasar unas vacaciones inolvidables, gracias por todas las atenciones!

My stay at Simon’s place was great! The house is up in the hills with difficult roads to get there, so a 4x4 is needed. The view is spectacular and would highly recommend.

The view is excellent and  the house is super good

La vista excelente y  la casa súper bien

The house was amazing! Simon linked us to a local chef , who was also amazing! Please ask him about Jeff (offer) the combination of the home and the service was unmatched. We went during the rainy season , unfortunately the power went out but he was on it right away ! The house is way bigger than the pictures lead you to believe! Private bathrooms, great views you will not be disappointed. A 4x4 is a must !!

the house is exactly like the picture. No words to describe the view. 4x4 is definitely needed. We had some minor issue with the house Simon was ready to help. it is really a beautiful home.

Great place, exceeds the photos, would love to come back again. 4wd is 100% a must if you want to make it up.

This property does not disappoint. While it’s a bit difficult to get to, that 4WD is a MUST, the view makes up for the bumpy ride!  The home is comfortable, open and perfect for a large family.  Simon and our host were available for any and all questions!  I would highly recommend this property!!!  Until we get to visit again, Pura Vida!

The house is beautiful, the view is unmatched. The best option to disconnect from everything without sacrificing amenities and space. Well equipped, the rooms are spacious. I hope to be back soon!

La casa es hermosa, la vista no tiene comparación. La mejor opción para desconectarse de todo sin sacrificar comodidades y espacio. Bien equipada, los cuartos espaciosos. Espero volver pronto!

We have a phenomenal time in Costa Rica.  El Tambor town is an amazing area.  The house, view, and service provided at the house were perfect and more than what we expected or experienced before in other Airbnb.  My family and I are planning another trip to this location and will stay at the same house.  The beaches around the area are beautiful; water is very clear and perfect for snorkeling.  We felt very safe in the house, and the kids enjoyed the pool when the adults were having cocktails enjoying the breathtaking view of the house.

Gracias por visitarnos. Los esperamos pronto.

The house is amazing and the view is awesome. I spent a great time with my friends and family. Simon the host and the housekeeper was very friendly! I would recommend this house to friends for sure. Only the showers need some Maintenance and blackout curtains to the room should be installed. You must have a 4x4 to get to the house. My friends car needed to stay downhill cause it couldn’t go up.

The house is incredibly beautiful, the rooms are very spacious, mainly the 3 upstairs. We loved that many animals arrive, due to the type of vegetation, we saw from sizotes to Tucanes... But the best thing about the place is the infinity pool and the view, it is indescribable, in the photos it looks very good, but in person there are no words to describe it, I would definitely love to come back. As an important and essential detail, go in a 4x4 vehicle, as the road is not in very good condition.

La casa está increíblemente hermosa, las habitaciones son muy espaciosas, principalmente las 3 de la planta alta. Nos encantó que llegan muchos animales, por el tipo de vegetación, vimos desde pizotes hasta Tucanes... Pero lo mejor del lugar es la piscina infinita y la vista, es indescriptible, en la fotos se ve muy bien, pero en persona no hay palabras para describirla, sin duda alguna me encantaría volver. Como dato importante e indispensable, ir en un vehículo 4x4, ya que el camino no está en muy buenas condiciones.

The house is spectacular, incredibly giant and with lots of space. Unfortunately for our visit the pool was out of operation this was a great disappointment as the location is a bit tricky to get around easily (literal is on a drum mountain). Owners gave us solutions to counteract discomfort. It is necessary to have a high car as the road is definitely a practically 4x4 experience. We had a bittersweet taste regarding the pool issue, but the owners were very attentive to this situation and promised to give us the inconvenience back. Fingers crossed that it will be so and it will be met!

La casa es espectacular, increíblemente gigante y con muchísimo espacio. Lamentablemente para nuestra visita la piscina estaba fuera de funcionamiento, esto fue una gran decepción ya que la ubicación si es un poco complicada para movilizarse fácilmente (literal está en una montaña en tambor). Los propietarios nos dieron soluciones para contrarrestar el malestar. Es necesario tener un carro alto, ya que el camino definitivamente es una experiencia prácticamente 4x4. Quedamos con un sabor agridulce respecto al tema de la piscina pero los propietarios fueron muy pendientes de esta situación y prometieron retribuirnos el inconveniente. ¡Cruzamos dedos para que sea así y se cumpla!

OMG. The view is amazing. I cannot even describe how amazing it is. After a long drive up the mountain, which absolutely requires a serious 4x4, your reward is a beautiful home, perched high on the mountain, with a beautiful infinity pool, incredible outdoor space with dinning for 10, and a million dollar look and feel. Simon met us at house, and gave us a quick tour, with some very helpful advise. The house had five bedrooms, three of them fully self contained with their own en-suite, changing room, walk in closet, and balcony (with that same amazing view). The living area was spectacular, with a full dining suite and a fantastic kitchen. The house had all of the amenities. We spent a lot of time in the pool (and by the pool). The house is in the Tambor Hills, which is on the Nicoya Peninsula, on the Pacific side, which is much more rugged and secluded. Beaches are great, lots of activities, but the roads are not good (again, a 4X4 is a must). We went horseback riding on the beach, rented a private boat for snorkeling, went zip lining (in Jaco), hiking in a nature reserve ... The sweet little town of Montezuma is fairly close, and is worth a visit. The more touristy town of Santa Theresa is not much further. There is a lot to do there, especially if you are a surfer, but it is dusty and very crowded. Simon was terrific. He met us at the house, he was available by email/text whenever we needed him, and when we had a few small issues he was on it in very short order and resolved the problems quickly and easily. I cannot recomment this property highly enough.
