Villa Madera

One of our most favorite places. The house is as gorgeous as described and the service was perfect. Planning excursions was amazingly easy and we loved returning to the house to enjoy the pool after a long day.

Rinku and the team were wonderful and made us feel welcome! Beautiful villa and spectacular sunsets.

Phenomenal! The pictures don’t do this place justice! The views, the pool, it was hard to leave this place to go do excursions! Amazing!

Our stay at Rinku’s home was exceptional. The property is truly beautiful, elegant, perfectly maintained, and even more impressive in person. Rinku’s recommendations were spot on, we had a fantastic dinner at the Four Seasons and great meals at Hacienda Blu and Father Rooster’s. Javier, the house manager, was always available and very attentive. This is a top-tier property with a level of hospitality that makes all the difference. We would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a premium stay in the area.

We stayed at Villa Madera for 5 nights to kick off 2026, with our 3 kids age 5, 10 and 17. The view is to die for! Check-in was easy with Edgar there to meet us at the house. Javier helped us get the rental car delivered to the house, book a yacht excursion, a horseback riding tour, and with various restaurant reservations throughout our stay. From our mountainside perch, we watched the new year's eve fireworks from the Four Seasons at Papagayo. We spent an afternoon on a small yacht and did the beach BBQ, which was a highlight of our trip - I highly recommend it because the food and snorkeling were outstanding and the jet skis were really fun. Our favorite restaurant was Hacienda Blu. As for the beaches, Hermosa and Panama are both lovely quiet beaches, great for families. If I were to change anything, I'd decide not rent a car because ubers were convenient and cheap. Also, there isn't a hot tub - the jacuzzi and pool were pretty cold. The option to heat would have been nice.

First off, Rinku was very helpful to connect me with her concierge team. From there, Javier and Alex exceeded any expectations I could have had! They were helpful in coordinating activities with us and were prompt in getting back to me when I had follow up questions. I never felt like a burden. Alex was attentive each day to check to see if we wanted breakfast or anything else that was needed. By the way, traditional Costa Rica breakfast was amazing at the house! Highly recommend you take them up on the offer. We bought the food and our chef took care of the rest! The house itself is breathtaking, particularly the view. Each morning sunrise and sunset were memorable. It is a wonderful, gated community and nothing short of 5-Star rating. We hope to be back in Playa Hermosa area again and see no need to look at any other house. Rinku and the concierge team are top notch! Thank you again for helping to facilitate a once in a lifetime vacation for my family. God bless.

5-Star Review: Casa Madera, Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste Casa Madera exceeded expectations in every way. The home is impeccably clean, thoughtfully designed, and offers breathtaking million-dollar views of the Pacific from nearly every room. The open layout, modern amenities, and private pool made it an ideal retreat. Upon arrival, Edgar welcomed us with clear instructions and a thorough walkthrough, setting a professional and friendly tone from the start. When one of our guests fell ill mid-stay, Alex responded within minutes—arranging assistance and checking in to ensure everything was handled smoothly. Georgina prepared outstanding breakfasts each morning: fresh fruits, gallo pinto, eggs, and strong Costa Rican coffee, all served with care and consistency. Our driver and guide, Marlon, was punctual, knowledgeable, and genuinely engaging—enhancing every outing with local insights and safe, comfortable transport. The combination of a beautiful property and such attentive, reliable staff

Absolutely stunning!!! Rinku's house was exactly as described!! My friends and I enjoyed the tranquil outdoor space and beautiful interior. Edgar, the house manager was wonderful, and Marilyn was very helpful in finding dinner locations. We did not rent a car, but it was fairly easy to access locations via Uber. Walking down to the beach was easy, however walking back up gave us a great workout! None of us wanted to leave! It truly was paradise!

Had a great trip staying here. The kids loved the pool and the outdoor areas were a great place to sit and watch the sunset.
