Playa Flamingo is the jewel of the Gold Coast. Renowned for its clear warm waters, soft white sand beach, beautiful evening sunsets and world class sports fishing. Playa Flamingo has been awarded the prestigious Blue Flag designation as an ecological beach. Located just offshore, outstanding scuba diving awaits you in the Catalina Islands. The Palms is conveniently located only 45 minutes from the Liberia International Airport and 25 minutes from Tamarindo Airport.

The only original thing left on the property is the amazing white sand of Flamingo Beach Costa Rica's premier beach.....a few steps from the condo.

The Palms is quite simply unmatched. Its gardens are adorned with an array of exotic plants, beautiful tropical flowers and stately Royal palms. These gardens attract butterflies and dozens of bird species, just as nature intended. The Palms was built to the highest standards. Natural Costa Rican materials have been combined with old world craftsmanship to create a stunning oasis on the coveted Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. Our custom Interior is finished using local hardwood and stone throughout. We wanted a Costa Rican home fashioned with local materials. It's first class all the way.....Sub-zero, Bosch and other fabulous appliances.

On the ocean's edge, you will find this 2300 square foot private residence and luxurious beachfront sanctuary. The property is located near the end of a secluded cove, is gated and has 24-hr security. A beautiful vanishing edge pool overlooks the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean and the soft, white sand of Playa Flamingo, providing the ultimate location

This is undoubtedly the best location on the beach in Gaunacaste. Come and enjoy our wonderful home, listen to the birds, lounge on either of the 2 large decks over-looking the pool and ocean or just relax inside the air conditioned luxury. There are many gourmet restaurants in the area. You may also wish to try your hand at cooking in the gourmet kitchen.

After either a busy or relaxing day enjoying the endless pool and spectacular sunsets.

...fall asleep to the sound of the surf.

About Elyne Johnson

I live in Vancouver, B.C., Canada. I am not yet retired but, can get away for extended vacations. I love to be in a warm place in 'winter', away from all that rain! I enjoy reading and relaxing at The Palms on Flamingo Beach. It is the ideal situation for me to just sit back and get away from all the daily 'business' of life.

Elyne Johnson purchased this villa in 2000
Why Elyne Johnson chose Playa Flamingo

I had always dreamed of a vacation home on the beach. After researching all the potential places in the world, I chose Costa Rica. I traveled there and went from Coast to Coast .....finallly ending my search on the white sands of Flamingo Beach. The particular unit I purchased was previously owned by a lovely couple from England. It was the first ever to sell in the complex! It is a corner unit and I feel is on the best location of any in the entire place.I call it the Madiera (wood in Spanish) House. It has all native and natural products from flooring to cabinetry. I just love the authenticity of the finishings.

What makes this villa unique

This unit has two Master Bedroom Suites, both with 'King-Size' beds. The beach-side Master suite has a private Jacuzzi Tub in the Bathroom with views right out to the beach. the unit also has lots of storage and hanging space for clothes and luggage plus, a great little built-in desk for the computer. There's lots of new beach equipment onsite. Examples are: a long board for surfing, 2 stand-up paddle boards, 4 boogie-boards, various sized masks and fins for snorkeling and some sand 'toys'.

Loved the set up at Elyne's place on Flamingo Beach!! Jorge met us as we arrived and made sure were were off and running. Sarah, Roy, Massel and the staff at the Palms were wonderful. We enjoyed a dinner on the Beach served by Roy as well as several wonderful meals at neighboring restaurants including Marysol and Carlos Y Carlos. The accomodations were comfortable and clean. Nancy did a great job cleaning our place everyday as she had to do the dishes as well since the dishwasher wasn't working. Lovedthe pool and Ocean!! Massel kept our drinks full and the people of Costa Rica are incredible!! Love this place and look forward to returning!!

Excellent complex!

The Palms is a wonderful complex--the pool is great, the grounds are beautiful, and the food is great! We had dinner by the beach cooked by Roy, the on-site chef. The way it is set up is beautiful.
The kitchen in the condo has everything--even an electric tea kettle, but the living room couches may be the most uncomfortable couches I have ever been on--including my college futon! Everything else was nice---I even used the spa tub.
This was my first time to Playa Flamingo. We didn't have a car. If we return, we will definitely get one. There is a quickie mart in walking distance, but a real grocery store is a drive away. Plus, some of the restaurants in town aren't very far, but there aren't any sidewalks so it can make walking difficult.

Perfect New Years in Playa Flamingo

5 of 5
Submitted: January 28, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
We stayed here with our three teenage daughters and had an absolutely wonderful time. Everyone at the Palms was extra helpful and treated us like honored guests and old friends at the same time. The Villa was gorgeous and the beach turned out to be the most beautiful one in the area, as far as we were concerned. We rented a van and explored nearby beaches (surf lessons at Playa Grande were a highlight), did some zip-lining in the rainforest (white-face and howler monkeys included), and explored an old volcano at Rincon de la Vieja. When we weren't getting to know the area we were swimming in the ocean or in the pool at the very private feeling Palms. Roy and his wonderful crew made an absolutely magical evening on New Years Eve: dinner by the ocean while people sent Sky Lanterns up from the beach, followed by an amazing fireworks show down the beach at midnight. In short - we loved it!

We stayed in #7 and had a wonderful experience at the Palms. I did an incredible amount of research trying to find the ultimate location (e.g. on the ocean, amazing pool, incredible sunsets and lots of options in close proximity) and utmost in service (or really to just be 'taken care of'!). We found EXACTLY that. From the moment I contacted Elyne (and received immediate response), to the 'welcome drink' and welcome flowers (wow!), to the stocked fridge, and the amazing meals by Roy; we were so impressed. This place is absolute paradise. The condo is very nicely decorated, 'up to date', shower has two heads, wide patios on both floors face the infinity pool and ocean, housekeeping was impeccable (and I'm fussy) and we had fresh towels every morning on our patio chairs for the pool. The infinity pool itself is only steps away from your condo. You really feel like this is yours. Jorge and Roy and all the staff here are wonderful. They will help you book a trip, rent a car, make a meal, or simply let you enjoy your time by the pool in wonderful peacefulness. You need to order the chips, guacamole and ceviche. We are very good judge on chips/guac and ordered every day!! We decided to rent a car and so enjoyed the area for a few days, but we also walked to restaurants nearby. We did horseback riding and a Palo Verde tour, with a stop in a small village - Guital, for pottery (highly recommend Palo Verde). Can't say enough positive things. Thank you Elyne for sharing your place with us. We are missing hearing the ocean every evening and can't wait to go back!
