A Perfect Blend of Luxury and Heartfelt Hospitality

Staying at Casa Ceilo Vista was an unforgettable experience - truly the perfect combination of staying at a boutique hotel with a concierge and the warmth of staying with family.Jairo was outstanding. Every detail from our meals, excursions, activities and transportation was seamlessly arranged for us, taking all the guesswork out of our trip. Everything was perfectly coordinated and stress-free.Each morning we woke up to what can only be described as a feast - breakfasts that were beautifully prepared and delicious. The house was immaculate and well-appointed. Every room was comfortable and stylish, and the property felt like a private retreat.What truly set this experience apart, though, was the personal attention and care we received. Whether it was helpful tips about the area, little extras to make our stay more comfortable, or just the sense that we were truly being looked after, it was clear this team genuinely wanted us to have the best experience possible. Jairo, Johana, and Elizabeth made us feel like part of the family, always available but never intrusive, creating a perfect balance of privacy and personalized service.If you are looking for a place in Tamarindo that offers both top-tier amenities and a deeply personal touch, look no further. We're already dreaming about coming back.

Beautiful stay!

We had wonderful week!!! Everything was easy from questions during booking and pre-trip to check in and out. Jairo, the concierge for the home, took great care of our four families. Johanna and Wendy cooked us delicious breakfast daily and were so cute with the baby of our group. Perfect location 10 mins walk to everything, beautiful views, lots of options for food just down the hill. Would absolutely recommend! Everything was clean and comfortable.

BEST WEEK EVER!

We had the best time in Costa Rica.We decided to do Tamarindo as an extended family so we had a child as young as 1, to an 8 and 10 year old, to grandparents. I found this house available for the week we were looking and we decided it was perfect for us. Jairo became our go to guy for everything. I told him what we wanted to do and he lined it up. The house would have been lovely on its own but with Jairo, Isabella, and Joanna, our week was above and beyond! The gals were fantastic cooks and kept the house clean all week. I would recommend this house and our exact vacation to anyone thinking about going to Costa Rica. We are hoping to go back as soon as possible!! 10/10!!

Could not have asked for a better spring break. We stayed here with another family of 4 and could not have asked for anything better! Jairo is a 10/10. He truly makes your vacation magical and incredibly stress free by taking care of any and all planning! Johana’s breakfast and dinner were beyond delicious! Not having to worry about what’s for breakfast and dinner was beyond amazing! She is incredibly kind and a joy to have in the house! The area this house is located in blew away our exceptions. I highly recommend this property!

1st time in Costa Rica

This property was truly everything our family could have hoped for during our stay in Costa Rica. The spacious, multi-level layout offered ample living areas, bedrooms, and recreational spaces that comfortably accommodated our large group of 15. We relished the opportunity to come together while still having quiet corners to retreat to when needed.The kitchen was exceptionally well-equipped, featuring all the essentials for meal preparation, cooking, and food storage. It made dining a breeze for our large party.The highlight of each day was undoubtedly the breakfast prepared by the house staff. It was a feast we still talk about, showcasing fresh fruit, authentic local cuisine, and a variety of customizable options that catered to our specific dietary needs. For a special touch, we arranged a sit-down dinner from their structured menu, which they expertly tailored to our preferences. Jairo even delighted us with a unique dish that highlighted his culinary talents.Jairo was an invaluable resource. When we arrived, he helped us plan our activities, quickly adapting our schedule to match our group's laid-back energy. His excellent connections gave us confidence that we were in skilled hands for every excursion, enhancing our experience.The property's prime location allowed us to easily walk to stunning beaches, charming restaurants, bustling food markets, and cozy coffee shops. The only challenge was the hill we had to climb to return to the house.

Family get-away

Our group of 12 including adults and children was very wonderful. The house was large and accommodating for all age groups. The 7 rooms were a great fit for adults and children alike. Plenty of privacy if needed. The house keeping was excellent, Joann was on top of everything including meal preparations for our large group. Her assistants Teresa and Elizabeth were so helpful in all the best ways. The house was clean, organized and always ready for the next round of family gatherings. Our staff became part of our family. We highly recommend using the staff to prepare meals including breakfast daily. We requested dinners for several of our evenings and it made family time with children extra special. Preparations on site were so appreciated and delicious we did not even consider hiring a chef. Those interests could walk into the town for an evening drink and/or entertainment in a very relaxed fashion. We were disappointed that plans for a golf cart did not work out due to the steepness of the hill to the house. Although, other UTV's such as side by sides could have been reserved alternatively. Our house concierge made advanced reservations for excursions and was always available as new ideas came up. We had wonderful outings with very knowledgable and personable guided to give us lots of background and information about our adventures. Tamarindo is a lovely place to visit with something for everyone.

Unbeatable Tamarindo View

Beautiful home with unbelievable ocean views from almost every room. Our family had six couples (sons, wives, fiances, significant others). Cielo Vista was the perfect spot for our annual family retreat. The home is large with both a pool and roof-top patio. Our host, Jeniece is a great communicator. All of our pre-visit questions were handled promptly. Jairo, our house concierge, handled/arranged all of our airport transfers, excursion requests, requests for in-home chefs, and purchase of requested food and beverages. The cooked breakfasts and coffee every morning was great.Very highly recommended, would definitely visit again.

Absolute heaven

Our group of 11 adults from two families had the BEST time at Casa Cielo Vista. The house is wonderful and so spacious that everyone had either a queen or king bed and most of us had our own bathroom. The infinity pool is lovely, as is the rooftop deck. Our group loved hanging out in these spaces, reading books and playing games. The views of the ocean and sunsets were just incredible. Jairo, the concierge, was awesome. He arranged airport rides, made dinner reservations at La Palapa on our first night, and was helpful when we needed anything. Maybe the best part of the house were the two women, Johana and Eli, who cooked us delicious breakfasts and cleaned up after us every morning. The house is in a good location - close to the beach and great restaurants so we could walk everywhere. It was truly a magical vacation, and we didn't want to leave.

From the correspondence in the months leading up to the trip to the constant communication during my stay, Jairo & his team worked to ensure that all 17 people staying at this property had a stressfree and fun time. Even when we had a few curveballs throw our way (catamaran postponed due to rough waters, loss of water for a night, etc.), Jairo and the incredible cleaning & cooking staff helped to make sure that plans were rearranged accordingly & smoothly. While the location was great and the house was spacious, it was really the peace of mind & service Jairo provided and the incredible meals prepared by Johanna & the house staff that made this rental property an incredible find.

Wonderful Stay at Casa Cielo Vista

Our group of 11 adults had a wonderful time in Tamarindo and Casa Cielo Vista. All the reviews are spot on with the services that Jairo provides as property manager. He did everything from setting up airport transfers for the group, to setting up a hiking excursion to Le Leona Waterfalls, making golf cart recommendations and more. He was awesome. Johanna was also great. The group loved waking up each morning to freshly brewed coffee and breakfast. She cleaned up after us daily which made our stay so enjoyable. Casa Cielo Vista is a short walk to town. We had some wonderful meals at Green Papaya Taco Bar, Pico Bisto, Bamboo Sushi and Nalu Cafe (breakfast). We spent a day on the beach down by Volcano Brewing Company where you could rent 2 chairs and an umbrella for $30 for the day. We did an excursion to Le Leona Waterfall which was awesome but an all day event. Sunsets at the house were incredible. There is so much to do and so many great places to eat, we couldn’t do it all and will have to come back. Tamarindo is so laid back and everyone is so nice.

THE Perfect Place to Stay

If you want a great house that meets your every need, this is the place! Jairo was amazing at setting up our arrival, groceries, and all of our requested excursions and communicated regularly to keep me up to date. He told me he would "take care of everything" and he did that 110%! He made sure that we never ran out of provisions! The in-house meals prepared by Elizabeth and Joanna were over-the-top delicious and they kept the house spotless. I am so glad I followed Jairo's suggestion and had them prepare some lunches and dinners too! Jairo, Elizabeth, and Joanna were even able to help us pull off a surprise birthday party with decorations and cake that blew away the birthday boy! Juan drove us everywhere and was so patient, allowing us to stop for photos and provisions whenever requested and tolerating our loud group in the van. Even Jeniece was kind enough to acknowledge our group on Veteran's Day. The house was the perfect size for our group of 6 couples; we were able to socialize together but still had our own space when needed. The view from the house never got old and it was close to the heart of town. The walk to town from the house is an easy one, but the walk back isn't for the faint of heart! I can't say enough about this house or its staff.

Our stay in Paradise

From start to finish, Jairo was a true gentleman. He made the whole process from booking to our last ride to the airport, a pleasant experience. The group that cleaned and cooked for us were God sent. They were professional and courteous. The food, along with the presentation, was great and was always served at the best times. The house was kept super clean and they never interrupted our fun. Jairo's connections run deep in Costa Rica. He is well respected, and it's obvious how well he looks after and provides for his team. Also, we were never forced to do anything. Jairo gave us options for excursions. If we had questions or concerns, he would answer to the best of his knowledge. Furthermore, Jairo would provide us with alternatives. We never felt like we had to settle for something less. The environment surrounding the property had a breathtaking view. The walk to the town center below was short, and there were many places to eat and have drinks. To sum up our trip, it exceeded our expectations. The pictures dont do the house any justice. The only thing negative we could say about our experience in Costa Rica, too short. Thanks again to Jairo and his great staff for making our trip the best vacation ever!

Paradise amongst chaos

Let me first start off by saying, the response from Jeniece from the very beginning was exceptional. I had many questions as I decided which house in Tamarindo would best fit my group. She knew I was vetting other properties, yet she remained helpful and offered other properties in the area if hers wasn't a good fit. Once I finally made my decision and put down a deposit, she put me in the hands of the most wonderful, kind soul known as Jairo. From the very first touchpoint, Jairo has been attentive, intuitive, insightful and respectful of my wants and needs for my group and this trip. He always made himself available and his response time was phenomenal. Unfortunately, I had a disruptive, chaotic start and Jairo received the brunt of undue anger from members in my party. Never did he waiver in his professionalism, resolve or poise. Jairo and the rest of the members of the staff were the most attentive, warm individuals you'll ever meet. From the excursions, to the food prepared by the chefs to our last night at La Palapa's, Jairo helped me curate the best experience. I will back.. No doubt!! Hopefully, Casa Cielo will accept me back with loving arms. Did I mention my group was 31 people staying in two different homes and Jairo made sire everything coordinated to perfection? Don't hesitate to stay here. You won't regret it!!

Robbed in home while sleeping

We had a false sense of security in this home due to the gates and barbed wire. Someone broke into the home at 3am and stole many valuables, including a few thousand dollars in cash. We were in the home at the time, including our children (one of which was sleeping outside). Beyond how scary and violating this was, we were told by the owner that they knew there was a breach in the security system the day before (we were not informed). In addition, the house back doors and windows did not close properly and the owner did not fix them even after the break in. Although we filed a police report and even tracked down the location of the stolen goods (through stolen Apple device), the owner and police would not compensate or try to recover our property. This obviously put a major damper on our trip and it was unnerving to continue to stay in the home (even with the post-burglary guards provided by the owner). I will acknowledge, as other reviewers have stated, Francine made great meals during our stay and Jairo took care of our activities in advance as well as tried to help following the invasion. Please use caution if booking this home.

The location of this property is close to many restaurants and shops. Jairo greeted us upon our arrival and helped us with with everything and anything. He even got a doctor to come to the house and check out one of the kids. Yaiharia, our house lady was excellent as well. Having breakfast ready in the mornings was such a life saver. This was everyone's first time in Costa Rica and we all loved it. The hospitality of all exceeded our expectations. We loved the vibe and food and drinks were amazing. We never not felt safe here. Definitely take surf lessons and schedule a zip lining excursion. We did rent golf carts and that was helpful as well. We had a group of 16 and were never not able to sit together or get into a restaurant. Many memories were made. Pura Vida!

Great Place to Stay

We stayed the first week of June and would highly recommend if traveling with a group. We had 3 families with a total of 12 people and the house provided a great pool and terrace both with amazing views for us all to hang out together or to have our own space if needed. Jairo was always quick to help us with any questions or concerns. I gave him a call on Sunday because one of the bedrooms seemed a little warm. He had a repairman out right away and they had a new unit installed about the time we returned from the beach. He arranged our shuttles and excursions which were all great. Definitely recommending Casa Cielo Vista to anyone I know visiting Tamarindo. Thank you Jeniece and Jairo for providing a wonderful experience.

The premier host Jairo was very responsive in terms of the booking, power outage and water loss. Communication could have been better in regard to the cost of chefs, excursions, massages and our cancellation options. The pool and living room were smaller than it appears in the pictures but it was big enough for my group. Beautiful home overall but a deep cleaning would be helpful. Our individual privacy was phenomenal. Tennis shoes are highly recommended if you walk down the hill to the beach or local restaurants.

A vacation location that delivers

First the positives, and there are many! The house is exactly as described on the website; big and comfortable enough for our group of 7 couples. We had our own spaces when needed and could get together when wanted. The pool was fabulous, the beds were comfy, showers had plenty of hot water and the views were great! Jairo, the manager, was outstanding! From the time of our booking 7 months ago to the date of our departure, he was unfailingly helpful, cheerful and professional. He never hovered, but was was available at a moments notice for any question, concern or request that we had. His local contacts and knowledge helped make our week completely enjoyable. The property is fortunate to have him. Francini (probably misspelled) was another gem. She cooked and cleaned for us during our stay and even gave impromptu Spanish lessons. Her meals were fabulous and she catered to the several dietary needs of our group with creativity and the ease of a seasoned chef. She meticulously maintained the house, cleaning while we were gone, and her cheerful presence in the mornings helped set a positive tone for each day. As for the negatives, they are few (and out of the control of the staff). The house is a popular rental, and as such gets a lot of use and the associated wear and tear. Some of the pool furniture needed repair, a shower door wouldn't close, and the BBQ grill gas tank had to be wrenched off in order to change it. All VERY minor issues in the grand scheme of our experience. The house is advertised as "walking distance to the beach and restaurants and shops", and while this is true, the hill to the house is no easy climb, particularly if members of a group are older, very young, or have physical issues. We did walk everywhere, but coming back up that hill at the end of the day was daunting. There was also construction noise during each day, and the associated sounds of a busy, popular beach town, but the nights were peaceful, and again, these were minor distractions. On the whole, our experience was overwhelmingly positive, and I can recommend Casa Cielo Vista to anyone looking for a great vacation stay. ps. If you do stay, be sure to go to TRIO, the restaurant just down the hill. Fabulous place.

Casa Cielo Vista Baby!!!

I don't know where to begin. This was one of the best vacations (bachelor party) of my life. 11 guys and I stayed here for 4 days and it could not have been any better. From start to finish, Jairo went above and beyond to make sure this was the best experience. Private chef, boat, ATVs, and reservations all went through Jairo and we enjoyed every second of it. The house was very big and comfortable. I would say the sweet spot is no more than 15 people. We did not rent golf carts but the town is just a large hill away :). No need for taxis which made it extremely efficient. Francinni did an excellent job cleaning the house every morning and preparing breakfast. This is the first time i have been on a bachelor party where NO ONE wanted to go home. I told Jairo this and im a man of my word, we will be back. THANK YOU JAIRO!!!!

Lovely place, could use some TLC

We recently stayed here for a bachelor party of 15 guys and overall, we enjoyed our stay. The beds were comfortable, the pool was outstanding, the location was great, and Jairo and Francinni live up to the hype. With that said, the place has definitely lost a lot of its shine and feels a bit more like a party house than a luxury rental. The largest issue, we experienced a 24-hour water supply issue that took out all running water including the pool. Jairo did everything in his power to help resolve. While we appreciate his efforts, it seems that it could have been avoided in the first place if proper measures were taken (e.g. asking us to conserve water, pre-planning backup water trucks). Beyond this, the property needs some real TLC. Broken furniture, difficult-to-open doors, non-functioning safes, ripped/broken chairs on the pool deck, wobbly faucets, etc. There were broken tiles and trim boards, and wobbly handrails around the rooftops were a safety hazard. Francinni cleaned each day, but the property could use a good deep clean. Dirty floors / windows, oily fingerprints, calcium build-up, grody appliances. Despite the issues, we enjoyed our stay. Jairo's recommendations for services such as the catamaran cruise and the chef were all spot on. Francinni makes a damn good breakfast. Jeniece covered our dinner one evening as an apology for the water outage, which was a nice gesture. Casa Cielo Vista is a beautiful place that I’d love to see get back to its luxury status.
