Soak in breathtaking ocean views from two serene infinity-edge pools, ideal for post-beach relaxation. With BBQ grills nearby, you can enjoy a sunset cookout in peace. Though shared with neighboring villas, the pools are often undisturbed, so you’ll likely have them to yourself.

If you need airport transport, this can easily be arranged with our concierge team. Liberia Airport is about a 40-minute drive from the villa. If interested in exploring outside the gates of Peninsula Papagayo, we recommend renting a car, which our concierge can also arrange.

The peninsula boasts various exceptional five-star restaurants, all just five to ten minutes away by golf cart. Feel free to ask your concierge for reservations and dining recommendations.

Our stay was great. PP is a fantastic destination. It's expensive, but you get value for the price. The home is two beautiful master bedrooms plus a very nice bunk style room, all with their own baths. A big living/dining/kitchen area and well equipped kitchen. Everything was very good. No notes. Harrison and Megan provide access to a concierge, who was responsive and helpful. If you are a sun worshipper, you should know the patios get light for a few hours in the morning, but they are great to sit on all day and evening. Transportation is necessary to get around PP, and the rented golf cart worked great. Highly recommend adding Prieta Beach Club access to your trip; it's a great place to hang out with good food and drinks and fantastic service. I would stay here again.

This was our family's first visit to Costa Rica, and it exceeded ALL of our expectations! The communication and planning was all extremely helpful from the help of Megan, Harrison and their friendly concierge and staff. The home is pristine and provides such a sense of calm. Beautifully decorated, with an unbelievable view, comfortable in every room and amazing room and deck to gather together. The pools on the property seemed private, as our family was the only one using it, and then we ventured off to the Prieta Beach Club and other activities each afternoon that made it the perfect vacation of relaxation as well as adventure. Please the whole family from adults, to teenagers and younger elementary. We are so grateful to this team, and cannot wait to come back again in the near future! Pura Vida :)
