Original details like hand-painted tiles placed around the property and gold-plated fixtures throughout the rooms add to its charm.

Villa Daiquiri not only provides an idyllic setting but also a range of exclusive house services. Our dedicated team offers grocery shopping, bar stocking, the option of a personal bartender or chef.

Fantastic house on the beach
We took 8 adults and 7 children ages 0 to 9 years old. Bret met our daughter at the house when her family arrived and explained about the house and gave her suggestions on what to do in the area. The kids loved the pool, monkeys, iguanas, rabbit and the ocean. The house is right on the beach. Monkeys are in the trees around the house. Kids loved it. The house is great, large rooms large family/dining room for us all to gather together. The beds are very firm as well as the pillows. We had to use pillows from the sofa. Louisa came several days to do cleaning and did excellent work. We do a lot of cooking on our family trips. There were no baking sheets, and limited pots and pans. There were enough to do what we wanted but had to cook some stuff and then reuse the pots to finish the meal. The stove is a commercial stove ant the griddle is great for cooking breakfast etc. We used the outdoor grill a lot Andre and his wife and sons were very helpful and friendly. They are wonderful people. Waves were small but big enough for the kids to do some body and boogie boarding. Snorkeling is mediocre along the rocks on the north or south ends of the beach. There are trumpet fish, manta rays, sting rays, different angel fish, star fish, eels, and sea urchins. Did a boat snorkeling trip with the kids. They had a great time. We also did a fishing trip. Restaurant next door is good. Excellent service. We ordered takeout and they delivered it to us. Very nice.

Family Trip
We had a great stay at Villa Dacquiri. Location is perfect - right on the beach and a lot of restaurants nearby. Close to other activities as well. Bret was very helpful arranging tours for us and we enjoyed all of them. Highly recommend the taco night they prepared at the Villa for us.

The perfect family getaway!
We took 13 family members, ages 1 to 75 and it was a perfect fit for us all! The rooms were spacious and we had enough privacy inside. The setting was steps from the ocean and when we tired of that we played in the large pool. With any communication needs, Brett was responsive immediately and always so friendly. It is the top 10 for us!!

Great stay
We had 4 couples stay here. Great location and best pool . We brought our own floatys. At first we were told no maid and then we said what the reviews read and We did get a maid. It wasn't clear on who was all living on the property. It was Andre and his family's as well as another gentleman that we were not aware of so some missunderstanding took place. But we did get that all cleared up.Great restaurant's in walking distance . And management did respond quickly if you had questions.Over all it was great place to stay. We would go back.

Why they chose this property

Villa Daiquiri - It is the former Bacardi Family compound built in early 1980's. Custom tile embedded in the wall entrance with the Bacardi Family "Bat" crest printed on every bottle of rum. Not ostentatious, but with several classy and unique architectural features. Built like a fortress. Largest private property on Hermosa Beach. My wife and I decided to refurbish and upgrade critical infrastructure to high standards, with trying to keep as much of the original Bacardi Family design and uniqueness. The size lends itself to large families and groups. We saw a fit to meet the needs of small to medium size Destination Weddings and unique Business meetings or YOGA Retreats. Villa Daiquiri is large enough to have the required amenities to successfully host a wedding or event, but DRAMATICALLY less expensive then neighboring 5 Star resorts. Hence providing a venue which allows the inclusion of many more guests than normally would be possible for a DESTINATION Event. Full event amenities are available including tents, seating, flowers, lighting, DJ, photographer, caterer, musicians, Wedding Planner, or bring your own. But we don't sell liquor! By supplying your own (we will facilitate) the cost differential from a resort, can pay for the entire wedding!

What makes this property unique

CLOSE to the AIRPORT! 25 Min. I grew tired hauling my family to resorts in the Caribbean or Mexico that required an hour to 3 hour drive after a many hour flight! Worse, airlines want you at airport 2-3 hours in advance upon departure. Herding all the "Cats" to get out the door at 5am (or earlier) then a long drive, then wait two more hours for flight is ridiculous! We make things EASY. Transport large or small is available. 60 additional hotel rooms and 5 restaurants within walking distance. We own an adjacent parking lot for 50+ cars/tourist vans. A wide variety of Costa Rica specialized tours and experiences are available. We also own Sun Monkey Villa (sleeps 18 & 3 minutes from Villa Daiquiri). At a recent wedding the grooms family stayed at Villa Daiquiri and the brides at Sun Monkey. Most guests at a Costa Rican destination wedding stay 4-7 days. A welcoming Gathering Party was held at Sun Monkey on Thursday, Rehearsal Dinner at Coconutz Restaurant/Brewery Friday night. Saturday wedding and reception at Villa Daiquiri and 3 sailboats chartered for guest beach day on Sunday! What a wedding for the couple and their friends and family to remember!
