Why Guests Love It
Guests appreciate Villa Quetzal’s spaciousness and panoramic position — the sense of being in a home built for gathering, with room for everyone, and a view that stays with you. While the décor leans toward classic comfort, the recently updated upholstery and thoughtful layout offer an inviting stay. With Zindis Hospitality behind the scenes, it’s not just a stay — it’s a shared experience made easy.

Set in the quiet enclave of Palo Alto above Playa Hermosa, this villa grants sweeping views of the Pacific while staying within easy reach of beachside cafés, local restaurants, and calm bay waters. The drive from Liberia International Airport (LIR) is approximately 30 minutes, offering convenience for arrival and departure. Here you’ll enjoy panorama, privacy and proximity — the ideal combination for a Costa Rican escape.

Elevated on the hillside of Playa Hermosa, Villa Quetzal offers a generously scaled retreat with four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and space for up to 12 guests — perfect for groups seeking both views and value. The layout and furnishings lean toward comfort over minimalism, giving the home a lived-in, welcoming feel.

Inside you’ll find wide-airy living and dining spaces that open onto a terrace facing expansive ocean views. The pool and balcony become the gathering point for cocktails at sunset and relaxed breakfasts as the day begins. While the home may reflect earlier styling, it has been thoughtfully maintained, with recently re-upholstered furniture and upgrades to ensure comfort and ease.

Despite its hillside position, the beach of Playa Hermosa is a short drive away, making it easy to transition from view-soaking to sand discoveries. With the team at Zindis Hospitality managing the details, your stay is effortlessly handled. Villa Quetzal delivers space, outlook and calm — a blend of coastal luxury and approachable charm.

Great Stay in Playa Hermosa

Great place to stay in a quiet and safe gated community. The home and pool show some signs of normal wear, but overall the property was very nice and we would consider staying there again. The general location and proximity to Playa Hermosa and Playas del Coco is a plus.

VIlla Quetzal

We had an absolutely wonderful vacation staying at this beautiful home and made such incredible memories together! The views were breathtaking, the house was very spacious for the five of us, communication was very good. We enjoyed venturing out and coming back to relax and enjoy the pool, which we used all of the time!! You absolutely need a vehicle to get around. We ate most meals at the house but enjoyed going out for dinners at different locations, all of them were unique and delicious in their own way. The people of Costa Rica are so friendly and welcoming. We can not wait to come back and enjoy the country again. Highly recommend!!

Stunning Views; Beautiful Home; Perfect Location.

The Quetzal Villa was perfect. The open family room/kitchen area provided easy access to the infinity pool, which had an absolutely breath-taking view of Playa Hermosa. The bedrooms and bath were well furnished, and quite comfortable. Would recommend to anyone.
