“Perfect location, beautiful and well functioning private villa”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

Stayed at Villa Kamar for 4 nights mid January, with a group of 7 friends.

Villa Kamar is a beautiful Villa with high-quality rooms, a nice garden and a perfect private pool. The location is also close to perfect, just few steps from the beach, about 300m from the main street, but still in a fairly quiet location.

The owner and the staff were also extremely friendly and and helpful.

Excellent value for money, can warmly recommend.

“A great place to relax.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

We had a great three days at the beach after three days near Arenal Volcano. Roberto and staff are just what you would hope for. Our one bedroom cottage was perfect for us - quiet and shady. Cottages are well equipped, the pool is a nice change from the beach, and there is an honor bar for refreshments. AC worked well (you'll need it).

Room Tip: I think all the rooms would be fine. We stayed in the one bedroom and it was tucked away from the p...

“The perfect spot!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

We recently stayed at El Gauchito, one of the houses that belongs to Villas Kalimba. What a wonderful place! There were 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and lovely porch. It also had it's own pool, was very clean and was located on a quiet street just a short walk from the beach. Roberto and his staff couldn't have been nicer and were so attentive to all our needs. We would definitely recommend this (or any of their other villas) and would rent from them again!

Room Tip: We liked this particular house because if was off the busy streets and noiser bars on the beach.

“Warm welcome and perfect stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

We stayed here for three days just before we flew back home after a three weeks trip in Panama/Costa Rica. 6 villas surrounding the pool and well equipped.
Beautiful place which is run by Roberto and his wife. Good cooking also if Roberto is pleased to do so. When we return to Costa Rica we will visit this place again.
