We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Oasis! ❤️ From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We especially loved spending time by the pool and enjoying the incredible views—it was the perfect place to relax and make memories. The location was also perfect for us. It was peaceful and relaxing, while still being close to everything we wanted to enjoy. The hosting team was wonderful, welcoming, and so helpful throughout our stay. They truly made the experience even better. We honestly didn’t want to leave! We loved the house, the pool, the views, the location, and the amazing hosting team. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and relaxing place to stay. 🌴☀️❤️

Where are your homes?

In Playa Flamingo and Potrero, right in the middle of Costa Rica's Gold Coast. Brasilito and Playa Conchal are about 10 minutes away. Tamarindo and Playa Grande are around 30 to 40 minutes by car, so they make easy day trips.

Which beach town is right for us?

Depends on the trip. Flamingo and Potrero are calm and easygoing, great for families and anyone who wants a quiet base with big sunsets. Brasilito is a small local village next to Playa Conchal, the beach with clear water and crushed-shell sand. Tamarindo is the busy one, with surf schools, shops and nightlife. Playa Grande is quieter and wilder, a surf beach in a national park where leatherback turtles nest.

Our tip: stay somewhere calm and drive over to the livelier spots for a day or a dinner.

Is it safe to swim?

It depends on the beach. Flamingo, Potrero and Conchal are usually calm, with gentle water most days. Tamarindo and Playa Grande get real surf and can have rip currents, so swim where other people are swimming and skip it when the waves look big.

Conditions change with the tide and swell everywhere, so take a look before you go in and keep an eye on little ones.

Can you help us book tours and activities?

Yes. Tours and days out are handled by Roam with Colibri, the part of Colibri Hospitality that plans activities. Catamaran sails, Catalina Islands diving, sportfishing, ziplining and more, from Las Catalinas down to Tamarindo. Tell us what you're into and we'll set it up.

Do you offer airport transportation from Liberia?

Yes. Most guests fly into Liberia (LIR), a little over an hour from Flamingo. We'll book a private driver we trust to meet you and bring you straight to your home. We can also set up rides between towns, like dinner in Tamarindo or a day at Playa Grande.

Book an airport shuttle

When is the best time to visit Guanacaste?

Any time of year works. Dry season (December to April) brings the most sun and the calmest seas. Green season (May to November) means afternoon showers, lush green hills and fewer crowds.
