The location was amazing and the home was beautiful! The upstairs had an industrial smell- maybe from air conditioning? But it was still amazing! We hosted our wedding here and also rented the sun monkey, owned and operated by the same owners/ management. We felt like there were several add on fees that were not listed or included on the vrbo listing, like guest numbers, cleaning, and airport transportation. Other than these, we had an incredible time with the property itself and loved the playa hermosa area!

We had a great stay. Property and beach were wonderful. We were doing a lot of our own cooking and could have used a bit more cleaning supplies, trash bags, paper towels, dishwasher soap. There were 12 of us including 6 teens who go through a lot of food. Bret and the management, cleaning team were great. Very helpful when we had questions.

Family Fun

Our family of 10, from 3 to 70 years old, had a wonderful time at Villa Daiquiri. The house was perfect for our group and being right on such a lovely beach made it even better. We all enjoyed the nice, clean pool and the beautiful ocean water. Plenty of good restaurants within walking distance, also. And we all loved the ripe delicious mangos from the nearby trees!

Great house for a family Downstairs sleeps cooler than upstairs.Next door to Roberto’s restaurant where some of the nicest waitstaff in the world work. We booked catamaran, snorkeling, a private chef, transportation and fishing through Brian Gonzales with tropical explorers (dude is amazing)Never met the owners of the house but the care taker, Andrey is an awesome person. Grethel took care of our needs upon check in as well. We will go back and stay here if it’s available.

Can’t say enough about this property and location. This is living the life and one of the greatest places I have ever stayed in. Sure the house could use some updating and it is clearly a busy rental property but we had multiple couples with privacy, fabulous pool, and you walk right out onto one of the greatest beaches ever - not crowded, but has restaurants and jet skis and massages etc right there - we will be coming back

Ideal Family Vacation Spot!

Villa Daquiri was perfect for our family's vacation. All of us (4 adults and 5 kids ages 1-14) had a fantastic time. We enjoyed every bit of being steps from the beach, poolside, and surrounded by wildlife! There was plenty of space for all of us to rest and play and we were so well cared for by the team on-site.

Christmas Family reunion

This house was perfect for the 10 of us. We stayed here with our two sons and daughters in law and our 4 grandchildren. The 6 br’s were good size and the bathrooms very convenient. The kitchen and eating areas are perfect for large groups. The house is well equipped, plenty of beach towels, beach chairs. The pool is really nice and we enjoyed using it when we weren’t at the beach. There is a housekeeper and groundskeeper to assist needed.

February Vacation

Villa Daquiri was a great experience for our group of friends and family that do an annual vacation in February to leave the cold winter of Ohio. Pete the owner made communication very easy with himself, the concierge Macho for check-in, and Maria and Andres who helped us with our time at the house. Playa Hermosa is a great location for a laid back beach vacation and the neighborhood and people were so friendly and restaurants had great food! Would definitely recommend for families to stay there who enjoy renting a whole house. Pete also put our group in touch with a great excursion tour company that made our week and transportation so fun and easy!

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!
