This was our third visit to Villas Casa Loma, our first time in Suite 301, and it was everything we hoped it would be. It is a very spacious, well-equipped one bedroom apartment with a large kitchen and terrace that offers a commanding view to the west over the Pacific. This suite has a substantial elevation so with the prevailing ocean breezes, cooler night time temperatures as well as excellent cross ventilation, air conditioning, though available, was never needed.
Our warm & welcoming hosts, Tom & Igor, who live on site, were always ready to answer any questions we might have had or provide any assistance that we needed. Having been owner/operators of Villas Casa Loma for over 30 years, our hosts were eager to provide information regarding local customs and places of interest.
There are 2 wonderful pools on site available to guests, immaculately groomed, colourful gardens and lovely beaches close by for walking, running or swimming.
As we write this we are making plans to return next winter for a longer stay. We look forward to seeing Tom & Igor and their parrot Lori and hopefully some of the other wonderful guests who became friends and who indicated that they would like to return next year as well.
1 review We just spent two and half weeks at Casa Loma and throughly enjoyed our stay. Igor and Tom are very gracious hosts and are very knowledgeable about the area restaurants, beaches, activities and tours. The grounds and pool area are very private and well kept with spectacular views. The villa was very spacious and the kitchen was very well equipped. Casa Loma is close to restaurants, grocery store and the beach. I would recommend renting a car or golf cart in order that you can enjoy all of the sites.
It has been an unusual "season" for us this year...We saw more wildlife here on our property than usual and the gentle breezes seem to have brought an abundance of tropical birds to our sanctuary. Fewer whales, but more dolphins. We are looking forward to the opportunity to get out and about a bit more now that the season is winding down a bit... (We have a laundry list of new restaurants in the area that we are determined to sample, too.)
Close proximity to a variety of wonderful beaches, supermarkets, shops, greengrocers, spectacular restaurants and seemingly endless land and water activities make choosing Villas Casa Loma a "natural".
Our two large pools are never crowded. Our gardens are tranquil and palm-studded. Our Villas and Suites are designed to take full advantage of nature and spectacular vistas - including great sunsets!
Thank you for your delightful visit to our little corner of Paradise! We look forward to seeing you again here!
Costa Rica is missing you ! We are missing you!
PURA VIDA!!

We keep coming back almost every year to this wonderful property owned by two great people from Toronto- Igor and Tom...They look after all your needs and will do their best to make your visit enjoyable and pleasant. This spacious unit is wonderfully furnished and equipped to make your stay very comfortable and pleasant. What a great place to allow you to experience the beauty of Flamingo area of CostaRica.
Highly recommended...always
Your cousins who came with you again this time seemed to have a great time, too! Always fun to be surrounded by upbeat, intelligent folks! We are looking forward to your next visit. More planning of fun day trips to exotic and interesting places. The fun NEVER ENDS!
Always something fascinating to do here. Great restaurants to tease the palate. Great places to explore. Next time, we should all try a sunset cruise, snorkeling and even some fishing - just for the fun of it!
Your terrace overlooking the Pacific became the ultimate focus for fun - and a super spot for sharing some home-cooking!
Come on back soon again! We are looking forward to the opportunity of being challenged to come up with new challenges for fun things to do here... (The opportunities seem endless!)
PURA VIDA!

Tropical birds. Tropical gardens. Howler monkeys. Views to kill for! All this and so much more is to be found at VILLAS CASA LOMA in Flamingo Beach, Costa Rica.
We spent a charmed month in a magic stone villa overlooking the Pacific Ocean there. Our villa was situated on a lovely hillside which offered superb views of the Pacific Ocean as well as dramatic views of the surrounding hills, gardens and palm groves.
The enormous villa comprised of a massive open concept living/dining/kitchen which opened onto an equally large, covered terrace which was perfect to dining al fresco, whale and sunset watching and just plain lounging and enjoying the spectacular views.Â
The living room was complimented by massive windows overlooking the surrounding hills, valleys and Pacific Ocean.
A full equipped kitchen was a delight. Adjacent we had a huge bedroom with windows on 3 sides (for great cross-ventilation).The large bathroom was the size of a bedroom! A bamboo 3 seat sofa, 2 large upholstered bamboo chairs, 2 ottomans and a double futon rounded out the very large living room. Very comfortable.
The pleasant maid came  three time per week to clean our villa, twice per week to change towels and weekly to wash and change the bedding. There were also 2 pool boy-gardeners + a maintenance person on site.
Igor and Tom were attentive hosts and offered advise on local activities, places to dine and places of interest to see in the area. We learned a lot about the area from them, as well as being introduced to some of the 'local' and expat communities.
Zip line tours, horseback trail riding, sailing, fishing, white water rafting, volcanos, stand up paddle boarding, surfing, tennis - We participated in most of it!.3 World Class golf courses are nearby, too! The choices are just about endless...There is SO much to see and do! We, for sure, will be back again and again!
It is always fun - and rewarding - to share our little piece of Paradise with our guests. The exchange of ideas goes both ways.
Day trips are a fabulous way to enjoy the area, and you certainly made the most of the available tours as well as exploring this fascinating area on your own!
You discovered the Costa Rica Sailing Club nearby, which you made good use of, along with culinary explorations to a great variety of interesting and delicious restaurants.
Perhaps the next time you come you will be able to schedule your visit to coincide with Mardi Gras festivities here! Great fun! We know that you will have a super time with the Drag Race, the arrival of the King and Queen and the carnival atmosphere surrounding the annual Mardi Gras parade.
Come for the relaxation. Come for the fun. Come for the memories. PURA VIDA! Tom and Igor
