Casa Chocolate at The Palms - Serviced apartments for Rent in Playa Flamingo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

We absolutely love The Palms. Carlos’s place was awesome. Thanks again. We’ll be back.

This place is incredible! Wonderful views, excellent service, very clean, and great amenities. Highly recommend.

Wow, what a spot, such a beautiful location. We took our two kids and had a fabulous week in paradise. We both needed to work a bit and the fast WiFi was great for our video calls. Our kids got a ton of use out of the boogie boards and the pool. We loved watching the sunset and then heading into town for dinner. We got groceries and ate breakfast and some lunches from the villa. The villa is very comfortable, had everything we needed. We would love to return!

Carlos’ place in The Palms was amazing. The concierge was top notch, the pool bar couldn’t be better, the BEACH! I can’t say anything negative about it. Clear water, soft sand, great surf. We could have stayed another week. So close to town if you have a car. 5stars

We had an amazing experience at Casa de Chocolote! This charming property impressed us with its beautiful design and unique layout, making it a delightful place for our family getaway. While it was on the smaller side, the cozy atmosphere added to its charm. The only downside was that the pool was only open until 9:00 PM, and unfortunately, the pool lights were broken. This meant we couldn’t enjoy the pool after dark, which was a bit of a letdown. Despite this minor issue, our time there was truly enjoyable, and we can’t wait to return!

This is a lovely villa that is well cared for and stocked. Playa Flamingo is gorgeous and the resort’s  stretch of beach is amazing and secluded. The concierge service was great. The home was  just steps from both the pool and the beach. It’s what I had in mind for a Costa Rica beach vacation and it did not disappoint.

Everything about the accommodations and the grounds was top-notch.  Denise was amazing with Concierge along with all the other people that helped.  The staff were all warm and friendly and eager to help. Kevin was an awesome bartender by the pool..  we could not have had a better vacation

We loved our trip! The Palms is a fantastic location for enjoying the beautiful Playa Flamingo. The people working at The Palms were so wonderful. Carlos' place had everything we needed for a full week stay.

Fantastic property in a fantastic location. Well kept, very comfortable. Biggest plus is the direct access to the beach. If you are in this part of Guanacaste, this is the beach you want to go to. If you want to stay on this beach, this is the property. Not cheap, but then again nothing is really cheap in this region and this property is neither an outlier on the positive side nor on the negative side. The one thing to note is probably that the flat is really set up for four people (I.e. four chairs at the dining table, extra bed in the alcove small) but it still worked for the five of us. Daily housekeeping, the overall maintenance of the resort, the infrastructure and extras made this a real luxury experience. We‘d love to come back and can recommend without hesitation

Our family of 6 stayed for 7 nights. It is a beautiful villa. It's fully stocked. We cooked about half our meals. Carlos is very responsive. The Palms concierge is very helpful and professional. Playa Flamingo is a beautiful beach. we got the girls hair done, we booked massages, we booked a fishing trip, and we went to Tamarindo for surfing lessons.

The apartment was better than expected -great service as well. The restaurants around Flamingo beach are terrible. Awful food and bad service. Also even though restaurants are nearby it’s b difficult to walk to restaurants you have to take taxis. I will advise cooking and eating inn. The condominium was fantastic in a v pretty beach nice pools and bar.  Services at the condominium was amazing!

We had a phenomenal stay at Carlos’. The location couldn’t have been better literally steps from the ocean. Also it was awesome to enjoy morning coffee off the main bedroom balcony and see the ocean! The pool was also awesome. Then entire location is meticulously cared for and all the staff at palms take great pride in maintaining the homes to the highest standard. The rental was completely fully stocked and we all just had the best experience. Thank you so much!!!

Amazing place, amazing location. Easy to check in, and host was very responsive.

This place is fabulous. It is clean, spacious, has a fully stocked kitchen, the concierge staff is amazing, and the grounds are perfectly kept. You are literally right on the beach. We could not have asked for a better place to stay.

We (4 adults and two kids) just returned from a two week stay at the Palms villa 22 and we miss it already! The location is incredible as it is steps from the beautiful pool, beach, and ocean. The staff is so friendly and helpful as well. We have traveled to playa flamingo before this trip but will now only stay at the Palms. Carlos was communicative and readily available if needed. A note for any travelers who are traveling with older folks (I brought my 80 something parents along on this trip) both bedrooms are upstairs for some reason I mistakenly thought the master was upstairs and the other bedroom was down. The steps were a bit of a problem for my wobbly father but we made it work and everyone was happy. My only feedback would be to trade out the Queen bed in the 2nd bedroom for a King so two adults could easily fit in each bedroom otherwise we had the most incredible stay and can not wait to return. Pura Vida!

Carlos's place was awesome.  We loved the beach and pool.  The staff at the condos were nice and helpful.  We really appreciated their help setting up daily lounge chairs and umbrellas.  It was lovely not to have to fight for pool and beach chaise lounges.  The house was very clean, comfortable, and had all the amenities.  Thanks for letting our family stay at the resort.

Beautiful condo and location on Playa Flamingo! We were looking for beachfront and got just what we asked for, only steps away from the ocean. Thank you Carlos, we will be back!

Amazing vacation staying at The Palms! From the staff to location, host, condo everything was perfect and exceeded our expectations! The most beautiful beach and great restaurants. Easy to get around with our golf cart and we didn’t want to leave!

This was the second time we stayed with Carlos and we will be back. It is clean, comfortable and relaxing. Thank you, Carlos

We had a truly wonderful stay at Casa Chocolate at The Palms!  Everything about it was fantastic.  Playa Flamingo is gorgeous and the entire property is very high quality.  The staff at The Palms was helpful and friendly. Casa Chocolate was immaculate with one of the best kitchens we've had at an AirBnB. The location is great with dining and shopping options nearby. Also, a perfect location for day trips to visit other beaches and towns, etc. Cant' say enough about our stay! We didn't want to leave!

Everything about the Palms and Casa Chocolate was perfect!

The accommodations were top notch. The welcome staff was polite and helpful. Decor was lovely. Special touches like swan towels and flowers upon arrival. Well appointed kitchen . The view to the beach and sunsets amazing. Water crystal clear and the pools were very clean. Grounds staff also very friendly . Thank you for allowing our family to use your home!

Oh my goodness this was literally heaven on earth! Carlos’s place was lovely - clean, spacious and a well stocked kitchen. The Palms concierge service was top notch. Carlos was very responsive to any questions we had - I just can’t say enough.  We loved every moment!

Love the Palms and Carlos was an exception host!

This was our first visit to Costa Rica and we hands down picked the perfect place! Our entire family thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful place, especially our little one! We rented a golf cart for our stay which was perfect for our needs and arranged by the concierge who arranged all our excursions! We are already planning our next trip!

My husband and three year old son stayed here in November. We had such an amazing trip and are already planning to return to Carlos’s condo. We rented a car and found the  location central to where we wanted to visit. Playa Flamingo is gorgeous - we swam in the ocean and pool quite a bit. The condo was immaculate and had everything we needed. Concierge service was really helpful and so kind. Can’t say enough!

The prettiest place we have ever stayed! Highly recommend! We felt like we were at home! The kitchen had everything you need & more! Comfy beds! Smart TV’s! Wouldn’t never stay anywhere else in Costa Rica!

Absolutely fantastic place. Fully stocked kitchen, with lots of the essential spices/oils/coffee filters/etc. that make traditional airbnb's so great. The location is incredible, right on a beautiful, swimmable beach that very few people seem to know about. Sunsets are amazing. We toured around other beaches but didn't find any that were better than playa flamingo. The pool has a large shallow area that our 3 year old loved to play in. The gym is great to burn off the Imperials. Carlos is very responsive to any questions. There is daily maid service available to tidy up if you want. We've stayed at hundreds of airbnb's by now, and this one ranks near the very top. It's just perfect.

We just spent 9 days at Casa Chocolate and it was perfect.  The condo has everything you need. Beds were very comfortable, it was also great to have laundry available.  Maid service daily if you wanted it.  The resort itself had a beautiful pool, pool bar and beach.  Everyone was super friendly and welcoming Playa Flamingo is a beautiful beach. The resort had plenty of activities for the kids, boogie boards, SUP and kayaks. Lots of local restaurants and coffee shops nearby that were great. Plenty of markets nearby to get everything you need to cook or just have essentials.  We did have a car, which I’m glad we did. We did a lot of day trips to many different places.  We highly recommend this place and can’t wait to go back!

Casa Chocolate was very clean, modern and had everything we needed to feel at home. At the same time, we could enjoy all the luxuries of a resort: there is a bar by the pool, concierge service, and daily housekeeping. The restaurant next door delivers (and sets the table!) at the condo, the pool, or the beach! Casa Chocolate is right on the beautiful Playa Flamingo, one of the best beaches we visited and close to all sorts of fun activities. Our family can't wait to go back!

This beach condo is so  nice! Well-stocked, super-clean, beautiful beach and pool, responsive and friendly staff. It was an excellent place for my family of four, including two teens, to enjoy a beautiful Costa Rica beach. In retrospect, a car is not a must, but having one at our disposal would have been nice for getting out and exploring the area more and running to the local market. Pura vida!

The Palms is my favorite place on earth and Carlos’s unit is beautiful and comfortable and I didn’t want to leave!

Our week at Carlos' place was just what we were hoping and more.  The property is gorgeous and well maintained.  We enjoyed the pool, the beach and local attractions - surfing at playa grande and a boat trip from Marina Flamingo.  We were so relaxed by the end we didn't want to leave!  The daily housekeeping service was beyond lovely.  We have two young kids and the beach was perfect for boogie boarding, SUP and playing in the sand.  We had dinner a couple of nights at coco loco which was delicious, and we did take out from La Forketta which was also yummy.  The grocery nearby had everything we needed.  The kids also enjoyed virgin pina coladas by the pool.  We would love to be lucky enough to come back in the future!

Loved Casa de Chocolate!  It was clean and well furnished and had an amazing concierge. The beach and pools are amazingly beautiful! Carlos was very responsive and friendly.  We will come back!

Perfect location. Beautiful infinity pool and white sandy beach just steps away!

We just finished a week long stay at Carlos’ place. What a perfect place to stay in Costa Rica. We loved the pools and the access to the beach.  The home was very clean and spacious for 4 adults.  We loved the infinity pool at sunset, the beach chairs all day long and the beach that was just steps away from the home. It is also located in a great area with lots of things to do whether you wanted to play in the ocean, relax on the beach or hike around the volcanos it all is within reach of this home. I would highly recommend this place and will definitely stay here again!

What a fantastic experience! Phenomenal views, excellent beds, perfectly air conditioned for those few extra hot days, pool and private beach are steps away from the door plus coco loco right next door (they deliver right to the villa and even lay everything out on the dining table for you!). Everything was 5 star.

We loved staying at the palms. It is beautiful right on the beach. The staff are very accommodating and helpful.  Denise at the front desk was awesome.  Carlos was responsive when we had a question.

We loved Playa Flamingo and The Palms. By far, IMHO, the best location in Guanacaste. The place was beautiful, well stocked, we had everything we needed. For a family with young kids, this place is hard to beat. You'll love the beach, pool and location.

Awesome place!  Modern, well-equipped kitchen. Full access to one of the best beaches in Costa Rica. The staff is kind and also available

Very nice place, the perfect house!!! Highly recommended

Hermosísimo el lugar, la casa perfecta!!! Altamente recomendado

Great condo in the Playa Flamingo area!  We loved the beach access and the pools (they even have a small bar).  Resort staff is amazing and pretty much everything you need is provided.  My teens loved the easy access to boogie boarding.  Such an easy place to stay with a well stocked kitchen and comfy beds.  My 14 year old really enjoyed the loft sleeping area.  Easy to walk to coco loco for food or have it delivered.  We also liked the location to explore other areas close by including Protero and Brasilito.  Our favorite restaurant was Gracia La Vid in Brasilito for pizza and fun drinks.

Thank you for your hospitality. We enjoyed the space and amenities and enjoyed the easy access to pools and beach. Carlos was  responsive to each question and request.  If you want to be in Playa Flamingo, this is it.

Great place to stay for a beach vacation! The complex is right on the beach and it was awesome to be able to be steps away from the ocean. The pool in the complex is also really nice! Only downside was cost. Talking to other guests at the complex and looking at other sites (VRBO), it seems like some of the other villas were less expensive. Overall still very satisfied with this place and our stay!

Absolute paradise!  The area and the home are stunning.  Carlos and all of the staff members we interacted with were top notch, very responsive and helpful.  The home had all of the amenities and the kitchen was the best stocked we've ever seen!  We had a car, would highly recommend, as there are limited restaurants and amenities within walking distance.  We look forward to visiting again!

I was overwhelming surprised in a very pleasant way. The Villa was amazing from the cleanliness, to the decoration, furnishing and location. The Villa felt as if I was home that how cozy and comfortable it felt. The staff around the property and the cleaning lady (Nancy) and Danis where simple amazing. The Villa has everything we needed aside from our grocery, which plenty of small and large groceries stores exist within 10-20 min drive. I will definitely be back to this amazing place, which a slice of paradise.

It was our first time visiting Costa Rica and our stay at Carlos' place was perfect. The Palms location and staff is fantastic, and Carlos' place was exactly as the pictures show and description state. Our favorites were the private location, the beautiful beach, walking distance to a fantastic restaurant (Coco Loco), and the concierge was so pleasant and able to meet all of our needs.

Best place in Costa Rica - we loved every minute of our stay!

Just a fantastic place. Better than the photos...

Great location! The Palms community is truly stunning and the whole staff is very dedicated! The villa is beautiful and accommodated our family very well. We are 5 and originally thought one of our kid could stay in the mezzanine. It is very high and feels a bit claustrophobic. Also the mattress was not great. We much preferred to use the convertible sofa in the living room which was very comfortable and convenient enough. The beach is amazing and we enjoyed the 2 pools, especially the larger infinity pool. Overall great experience and enjoyed our time in Costa Rica. Pura Vida!

Great high end condo and location. Can’t beat steps from the beach

We loved our stay at the palms. This was our second time at the property and first in this unit. Unit has everything you need. We love having the pool and direct beach access. Many many good restaurants within walking and/or very short driving distance.

We LOVEd this family vacation with a one-year-old and six-year-old in tow. Thank you Carlos for being a great host! We hope to be back soon!

This villa was so luxurious and well equipped with everything we could possibly need.   Everything was so clean too!  The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, and dishes and even included some condiments and other items that we might need.  The master bed mattress was extremely comfortable.  We had stayed at two other locations prior to arriving at this villa and this master bed was the most comfortable. Loved the bathrooms and the spacious closets.  The host was so helpful and thoughful.  The villa opens up right to the pool and beach and the sunset was amazing.  If you don't have a car, make sure that you stop and get groceries on your way in.  There seemed to be only one or two restaurants within walking distance.  Would highly suggest a car.  You can't go wrong with this villa!  Your stay will be amazing!!

It was everything & more that Carlos represented.  Would definitely stay there again!

very good house. very well-equipped. The Palms complex is very safe. we love the place , its gardens and Flamingo Beach

muy buena la casa. muy equipada. muy seguro el conjunto The Palms. nos encanta el lugar , sus jardines y la playa Flamingo

DO NOT HESITATE…..Book this Airbnb now!  Location, location, location!  This was my 8th trip to Costa Rica and this property is simply charming!  The condo is magnificent….it has everything you need plus more!  The location is just perfect for pure relaxation. The beach is one of the best around and the pools are perfect. You are within walking distance of our favorite beach bar/restaurant, “Coco Loco’s” which you will love (they even deliver!). The sunsets are spectacular.  Carlos is the perfect host…communication was excellent. This property is by far one of the best Airbnb’s we have stayed in. We will not hesitate to stay here again….and again, and again!!

Everything was wonderful! The villa was clean and very well appointed. The Palms facilities were impeccable and everyone there was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

Carlos and the Palms was the best location a day amenities hands down. You can't find a more magical place, beach and staff. the house itself is insanely comfortable with everything you need! The staff at The Palms is top notch and we as a family of 4 will be back!

Rarely does actual beauty match the pictures but in this case it exceeds them!  Carlos is a wonderful host and the concierge staff is the most hopeful we’ve ever experienced. We look forward to a return trip!

Wonderful location and the staff are terrific!

Stunning.  I could just move in.  It is so incredibly luxurious…the most well equipped kitchen I have ever had…two wet bars…high end electronics…between the mattress and the sound of the waves I had the best sleep!  The staff of The Palms are so friendly and they go above and beyond.  Gorgeous beach…a bar at the pool…breezes to keep you comfortable….what more can you ask for?  Truly heaven

A wonderful updated unit in a great complex with a great pool and spectacular beach front.

This was an absolutely gorgeous property! I would recommend this property to everyone! I have been coming to Costa Rica for 21 years and have stayed in many places but this one is by far my favorite! PURA VIDA😎☀️🌅 and thank you Carlos!

I can’t say enough great things about this Villa.  We came for my husband’s birthday with another couple.  The Villa was perfect for our group and I am definitely going to come back with my kids as there is ample room.  The kitchen is stocked with EVERYTHING and more that you need.  The Villa is impeccably clean and there is daily cleaning service with an added bonus of letting the concierge know when I wanted the unit cleaned.  So I never felt inconvenienced.  The ocean views are insane and the beach is right out your door.  This is so rare for Playa Flamingo! The staff on site is amazing and I felt incredibly safe.  We loved every minute of our stay.  Thank you so much Carlos.  We can’t wait to come back again soon.

Had a wonderful stay at the Palms in the Casa Chocolate villa. This was my first time traveling during rainy season but the weather was great with just an occasional shower in the afternoon and evening. The villa is exactly as pictured and very spacious. It had everything we needed and more. Nicely decorated and very clean. The location was private and secure. Not overcrowded this time of year which was great. Relaxing on the balcony and listening to the waves was just heavenly. The two pools and beach are just a few steps away. The concierge and staff were very helpful and check in was a breeze. Carlos was a gracious host and I would certainly stay here again.

Very satisfied overall. Great location, service, outstanding well-equipped kitchen. All details taken care of. Plenty of towels, good Internet and comfortable bedding. Would definitely go back.

Great place! Pictures are accurate and pool is great. Enjoyed Coco Loco down the road for dinner and sunsets. Easy access to other beaches as well if you have a car.

We had an amazing experience staying at Casa Chocolate! The house is absolutely beautiful, the location is fantastic and the amenities and staff at The Palms are the best!   We would highly recommend staying here and can’t wait to return!!!

A perfect place to stay. The staff, grounds, and access to the beach are all amazing. The home is very comfortable to stay in. Everything is as advertised. We will definitely stay here the next time we visit Costa Rica.

Excellent place to spend a few days with the family. The condo is fully equipped and super comfortable

Excelente lugar para pasar unos días en familia. El condominio totalmente equipado y super confortable

Beautiful villa on the beach with everything a family or a couple may need for a short or long vacation in Costa Rica. Carlos was very responsive to all our questions of which we had many as this is was our first time in this gorgeous country. He provided all the details before our trip so we never had to contact him during the stay. The villa is right on the beach with two swimming pools. It felt like there were very few families when we visited, so it felt private, quite and relaxing. The concierge is great and at your service 24/7. We booked all our trips and restaurants as well as covid tests to get back to the US through them. Never had to call anywhere ourselves. The people of Costa Rica were extremely friendly, polite and accommodating everywhere we went. An amazing overall trip for us and we hope to be back!

Casa Chocolate was an absolute dream. We were pleasantly surprised to arrive at this home. our stay was 2 weeks, with our 2 children. Excellent service, house was immaculate and extremely peaceful and well kept grounds.

This was our second time staying at Casa Chocolate, so obviously we love it.  It's a first rate condo in an outstanding resort on an amazing beach.  We are fortunate to have been to a lot of places in Costa Rica.  There are not a whole lot of places that are right on the beach like the Palms.  When we want a place that has it all - great beach for walking & swimming right outside our door, fantastic pool with bar, plenty of restaurant options close by, and a secure, clean, updated condo - we're coming to Casa Chocolate.  Thanks to Carlos and the Palms staff for creating this terrific experience.

Highly recommend Carlos’s Casa. You will love your stay on this quiet beautiful beach!

Another memorable stay at Casa Chocolate. Highly recommend.

The Palms is a great property, and Carlos’s place is very nice. Our family enjoyed the stay!

It is a quiet and family-friendly environment with a spectacular location. The place is safe   and very comfortable.  Highly recommended!

Un ambiente tranquilo y familiar con una ubicación espectacular. El lugar es seguro   Y muy cómodo.  Recomendado totalmente!

Unbeatable, beautiful, peaceful on the best stretch of beach in Costa Rica. Our second time here and can’t wait to go back.

His place ! Perfect location The villa has all that you need And it's a few steps from the Sea

El lugar es increíble, volveremos cada vez que podamos...100% recomendado!

First class.  Enjoyed every minute of our stay.

Carlos’ place is absolutely amazing. Perfectly beach located at amazing resort Palms. Everyone is very nice and treats you like an owner. Loved it here don’t hesitate making this your next destination in Costa Rica.

What a wonderful trip our family had to Casa Chocolate.  Everything was perfectly described.  The property is impeccably maintained and the staff are all wonderful.  As a family with two small children (ages 7 and 2) it is always a bit stressful taking them somewhere unknown, but we were just as comfortable as we would have been at home.

Fantastic. From the villa to the staff to the grounds to the beach... everything was fabulous! Truly breathtaking place!

If I could give this place a 10 star I would without a doubt. Let me start off with the Villa staff, they’re truly professionals, helpful and amazing people. They give you red carpet treatment from day one and they won’t stop until you leave. From the moment you arrive, they treat you as if you were the owner of one of the properties. Second, The Palms is just astonishing. The fact that you can wake up and walk 15 seconds to the beach or sit at your balcony and listen to the sounds of the waves, we couldn’t have asked for a better place. The entire area is super clean. The only thing that separates the beach and the villas, is that amazing infinity pool. Lastly, Villa 22 has all the necessary essentials for a comfortable stay. We will definitely be back. Thank you Carlos soft a wonderful vacation.

A marvelous villa! Fully equipped, the kitchen is fully set, living room and tv set is great and indoor and outdoor’s furniture is excellent. The Palms’ employees are very helpful and even it is a private residence, you get all the support for tours, get around, food, drinks, etc; and the beach (private) and sand ideal. If you want to visit Guanacaste, excellent choice.

Excellent place to stay and the host Carlos was always reachable!

I would like to write a bad review to scare people away, only so this place will be available next time I come to Costa Rica. I just can’t do it though. Carlos’ place is amazing! I used to live on Maui. This development and playa flamingo give Hawaii a run for the money. If you stay here, you’ll have everything you need; a perfect infinity pool, one of the most beautiful beaches in be world, food and drinks, all just a few steps from the back patio of your amazing house. I’ll be back!

This was our 5th visit to The Palms at Playa Flamingo and our 1st stay at Casa Chocolate (Villa 22) was outstanding.   What sets Carlos's place apart is the attention to detail in every area...there was absolutely nothing that that could be improved Casa Chocolate.   The kitchen was well stocked and appointed for any gourmet cook; the living room was tastefully decorated and very comfortable; AV equipment worked flawlessly and the bedding was exceptional!  Finally, the Palms is an exceptional property, situated oceanfront on playa flamingo...just steps from the beach.   The Palms offers a quiet setting that is excellent for both couples and families seeking peace and relaxation.  Thanks Carlos!
