I have been meaning to write this review for a while. We stayed in El Gauchito for 10 days in January 2012 with our 2 girls aged 4 and 1 and our stay was nothing short of fantastic. Roberto is a great host, everything that we requested (cot,high chair, blender for baby purees etc) was provided for, he gave us... More

Roberto was wonderful - very accommodating. The location is absolutely FANTASTIC. Across the street from the beach in a very secure complex. Loved the location, the arrangement of the Villas around the pool, the A/C - did I mention that I loved the A/C?!!!! Everything in P. Samara is close so don't worry about walking! Loved this side of the... More

This was our 4th visit to Villas Kalimba and have stayed in the same villa each time. Great for our small family (3) and highly recommend coming with friends. Nice to have your own space yet common area as well when you feel social. Tucked in lush environment and perfectly convenient to beach and grocery store. Always friendly, clean and... More

We stayed with a family of four for five nights at the Villas end of March. The first part of our vacation we stayed in a hotel, so we really enjoyed the possibility of making our own breakfast, lunch and dinner(supermarket 50 meters away). The pool and garden is beautiful, so waking up or winding down at the poolside is... More

We enjoyed our 2011 stay at Villas Kalimba so much that we returned this year with 4 additional family members. As usual, Roberto and his staff were very gracious and helpful - making our vacation extremely relaxing and enjoyable. Renting 2 spacious villas for the 6 of us worked very well. Two full kitchens and easy walking distance to grocery... More

We stayed at the Villas Kalimba for a week in February; location is perfect for easy access to beach, town, and a pool outside your front door. Roberto and his crew are delightful; you're in for a treat when Roberto is cooking dinner! They are all more than happy to make your vacation as easy and relaxing as possible.

My husband and I along with our 2 boys (ages 4 & 6) spent 10 nights in Costa Rica. We like to mix up our accomodations, spending a few nights at a luxury hotel ( Four Seasons ) then a few nights in a mountain lodge, and then the last 5 at Villas Kalimba. We rented a 2 bedroom /... More

We really enjoyed our stay at Villas Kalimba. After reading several reviews on the internet we decided to stay 2 nights here. Upon arrival, I was dissappointed that it was not located on the beach. However it is located just across a small road with quick and easy access to the beach so that turned out to be great. The... More
