Perfection in Paradise!

Villa Oasis was all we had hoped for and more. Our group ranged in age from 13 to 69 and, without exception, we were all more than pleased with this beautiful home. Galit was extremely helpful answering our many questions prior to our arrival. She also sent us great information that proved to be very helpful once we were there. The villa complex entrance has a 24 hour security guard although the area is very upscale and safe. It was nice having a washer and dryer in the villa and we used it several times. We had a rental car (which you are able to park within the gated area in front of the Villa) but we ended up walking a lot of the time - just to enjoy the area. Having your own, private pool is a big plus. Nice to take a quick dip whenever you want to. Access to the beach, via a path, is just across the street, a little to the right. We spent several afternoons sitting on that area of the beach watching the beautiful sunsets and sipping our rum & mango juice. It's not crowded at all so it makes for a very pleasant afternoon/evening. It's a bit rocky, so not good for surfing or boogie boarding, but you are a short walk to very good surfing areas. As Galit suggested, if you walk the short distance to the Capitan Suizo Hotel and cut thru to the beach, it's a very pleasant walk on the beach to the downtown area. We also would cut thru the Langosta Beach Club and then walk the beach.
Be sure to go to Nogui's on the circle on the beach. They have great food, are reasonably priced, and have awesome coconut cream pie (and several other types - all homemade). We kept going back there, we enjoyed it so much. Our other recommendation would be the Langosta Beach Club for dinner. We have just returned from living in Europe for 3 years and really enjoy fine food. The chef at the Beach Club is French and the food was devine!!!! One of the best meals we have ever had. Our group of 5 all ordered different main courses (including a burger for the 13 year old) and every entree was outstanding - highly recommend it.
While we were there, we had a minor issue with the A/C in one of the bedrooms. We called the management co. and they were there within minutes. There were able to fix it immediately and checked with us later to make sure it was ok. Can't say enough good things about the management. Answered questions we had about the town, tours, etc. If you are considering renting a house while in Tamarindo, this is a great choice.
