Recent Flamingo Beach guest reviews

We've just left Casa Mimosa and are already planning a return. I cannot say enough good things about our stay but I have to start with Maritza who took care of us from start to finish with a level of attention that would have impressed me at a five star hotel! Not only did she keep the entire place immaculately clean but she also did our laundry and cooked several meals for us, including a birthday party for my daughter with cake and decorations! I also messaged a lot with the owner who had amazing recommendations and suggestions for what to do in Playa Flamingo. The apartment itself is spacious, comfortable, air conditioned, and well supplied, including beach towels, boogie boards, and beach chairs. The kitchen is great, there's a huge outdoor grill area, and of course there's the fabulous pool which was also kept perfectly clean and warm. In terms of location, we couldn't have been happier. It was a five minute walk to Playa Flamingo, an 8 minute drive to the supermarket, and about the same to other great areas like Playa Conchal and the Marina. We can't wait to return!

It's my favorite place to stay when I visit Flamingo or the area ... the place Oceanica is excellent! Nice pool, a quiet location, and a beautiful view, and the nearby places are super convenient. I hope I can continue to visit. The Vacasa staff super responsive and fast to attend a couple of small situations inside the condo.

I truly cannot give this property enough praise. My family and I stayed here for a week (three adult couples). When we walked up the steps and saw the home for the first time, we were in awe. Staying here feels luxurious. The private infinity pool was such a treat. The water temperature is perfect! It's large and deep, and the view is breathtaking. This home is located in an established, gated community with gate security employees who let you in/out when you come and go. The home is located high on a hill with the most incredible views of the Playa Flamingo harbor and bay. One of my family members has bad knees and struggled a bit with the 30 steps up to the property and the walk up and down the hill to the main street. However, if you're able-bodied, it's very convenient to be able to take the < 5-minute walk to the market (not large, but has everything you could need). We were visited by wildlife, birds, and the neighborhood cat every day. The in-home laundry was a lifesaver, as was the dishwasher. We never cooked at home, but did find that the kitchen was very well stocked. The location of the home is fantastic, with the drive to Playa Flamingo being only about 7 minutes, Playa Potrero being about 8 minutes, and Brasilito being about 10 minutes. In general, this is not a walkable area. I would strongly recommend getting a rental car. If you go to Brasilito, make sure to walk down to Playa Conchal instead of staying on the main beach. Tamarindo is about 30-40 minutes away, but it's far busier and much more "touristy" so if that's not your vibe, you can skip it. If you choose to do a sunset boat cruise, I strongly recommend booking with Serendipity Charters. We had the most amazing experience with them. As for restaurants, I recommend A'lo Nico for breakfast, Tandoor for dinner, Sol y Luna for lunch or dinner, and Hibiscus Cafe for coffee. If you're looking for authentic, local food, be sure to frequent the "sodas" instead of the more "westernized" restaurants. We went to many different sodas and had great experiences at every single one. In conclusion, don't hesitate another minute!! Book this home. We wish we never had to leave. Pura vida!

Where is Flamingo Beach?

Set on the northwest side of jungle-filled Costa Rica, this small beach city is just 26 miles from the Liberia Airport and 170 miles from the capital of San José. Leave the chaos of the big city behind and surround yourself with relaxation in paradise. And when you want more, day trips to places like Tamarindo (14 miles away), the beaches in Jacó (155 miles south), and Playa Hermosa (18 miles north) are great for more adventure.

Things to Do in Flamingo Beach

Although this area of Costa Rica is a little sparse on the thick forests that cover most of the country, you won't even miss it with the fantastic variety of water activities available. If you enjoy fishing, this is the place to be as Playa Flamingo is known for being one of the best deep sea fishing spots. Catch massive marlin, tasty tuna, sailfish, swordfish, and even snapper with the seasoned crew aboard either The Sea Warrior, The Cove Hunter, or Poseidon's Nemesis. 

Other ocean adventures include snorkeling and scuba diving to see exotic marine life, dolphin and whale watching (maybe even from the balcony of a Playa Flamingo vacation rental!), swimming, and simply building sand castles on the beach. With generally small waves inside the cove, even little ones might take a nice swim in the ocean. If any surfers in your group are searching for bigger waves, they can find some wonderful surf spots just north in Santa Rosa National Park.

Once your sea legs are worn out, spend some time ashore exploring the natural flora and fauna. One of the best ways to see it all is to bundle tours together for a full day of fun. Choose from activities like horseback riding, ATVing, hiking, zip lining, tubing, white water rafting, canopy tours, and much more through a local tour company. Golfers can reserve a tee time at the spectacular Garra de Leon or Hacienda Pinilla Golf Courses, while others in the group unwind at the Onzen Spa.

Where to Eat in Flamingo Beach

Although our Playa Flamingo vacation rentals typically include a full kitchen for easy meals, there are ample restaurants within walking distance you must try! Coco Loco is easily the most unique and loved establishment, with dining right on the beach and a mouth-watering menu including churrasco, blackened swordfish, and loco coco, which is an amazing blend of rice, mussels, shrimp, octopus, and more. Tubla Restaurant offers delicious pizza, The Beach House has an unforgettable burger, and Soda Y Restaurante El Estero Azul is the perfect place for local cuisine with a front-row view of the ocean.

Family-friendly and brimming with excitement, Playa Flamingo will surpass your wildest vacation dreams! Stay in one of our lovely vacation rentals to get the most out of your adventure to Costa Rica.
