Lovely villa
My review is late, we stayed Nov 2022. We loved our stay here. Everything was clean and just as advertised in the listing. The management team was great upon arrival and very easy to get a hold of for needed help. We loved Playa Hermosa - what a beautiful beach! - and the restaurants in the town! We did go in rainy season and it could be a little chilly - we wish we would have had more hot water, the showers were always luke warm which I imagine in the warmer months isn't an issue.

Epic Vacation
We chose Ilan Ilan for an epic vacation with our five children and partners. This house and hospitality of the Zindis team exceeded every expectation. Location: the house sits just up the hill from Playa Hermosa (spectacular beach) and is walkable should you be so bold as to walk back up the hill. The town is great and has most of what you need. The house is just a 10 minute drive from Coco which has Auto Mercado (Whole Foods of CR) allowing you to get the rest. The Zindis concierge, Bryan, met us at our house and helped us plan our itinerary. This allowed for us to lean on local knowledge of the area and he helped us pick perfect excursions, all of which were within 90 minutes drive. The property: wonderful. We spent hours just sitting in the pool looking over Playa Hermosa. The Sunsets were spectacular and the indoor/outdoor nature of the west facing property was so great. We spotted 15 different types of birds and several large iguanas (the largest was a bright green dude they've named "Pedro"). The street backs up to a jungle and it feels that way - so cool. The House: Impeccable. The house is big but not overwhelming, allowing everyone their space but great common areas for hanging out. We had 9 people with three couples and three teenagers and it perfectly accommodated us. When we polled the family as to what was their favorite part of the trip (we did incredible things) three people said "the house." This entire experience was a 10/10. I could not recommend it more.

Great Location and Wonderful View
The location was perfect. We loved the pool and the breath taking view. We had Chef Gerson come in to cook for us and he and his wife were wonderful. We loved Roberto's for lunch and dinner and as a place to set up on the beach. The house and pool were wonderful and we felt very safe. Milena was always quick to help if we needed anything.

Beautiful House on a (Very Steep) Hill
We had a lovely time at Casa Ilan Ilan! The pool and the views alone made our time there magical. The bedrooms were comfortable, the kitchen and dining area was easy to use and inviting, and the staff was responsive and helpful. The house is on top of a steep hill that gave us our daily workout but is about a 10 minute walk to a grocery store and 20 minute walk to the beach. There were a few nice restaurants within walking distance as well. On the last day we found a scorpion in the bathroom; not sure how that got there! Other than that the house was free of creepy crawlies.:) Finally, the Zindis group helped with arranging a transfer from the airport to the house and also transport between the house and a tour we went on. Made it very convenient! Would highly recommend.

Beautiful home, great property management!
We had a large group getting together for the week, ages 5-70+ and this location was great. Every room was an en-suite, and the King bedroom on ground floor was great for my mother-in-law to avoid stairs. Everything was as described, pool was pristine, AC all worked and great kitchen to gather and cook in. The house is towards the top of a hill, buy transportation is always happy to come to the door. Everyone felt very safe the entire time and on-site Zindis management was great, super responsive and helped with ideas for our stay, dining, etc.

Playa Hermosa house
We loved our stay at Ilan Ilan. The view was spectacular and the location was convenient. Having a car was definitely a plus. You could manage without one but we used it everyday to go to the beach or to dinner. The steep climb up the hill to the house would have been tough on foot. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Great Location in Playa Hermosa!
We had an amazing stay at this house in Playa Hermosa! The house has an incredible view of the ocean and is in a gated neighborhood. We did have some trouble getting hot water consistently and internet was spotty for streaming. We brought our own fire stick and was able to connect but it was very slow. We did not have any issues with cell signal or with basic internet needs that did not require video. We did see that the sheets on the trundle beds were very dirty so we changed these ourselves. In all likelihood previous guests had not used them so they may have been overlooked by the cleaning staff. The rest of the house was clean and good to go. The Zindis team was incredibly responsive and helpful whenever we needed them. We booked several tours and activities through them as well. There was some miscommunications on that front (though perhaps nothing Zindis could have done) so it may be best to book these directly through your tour provider of choice. We also used the neighborhood pool slides which the kids thought were a total blast. Locally we ate at Aquasport, Ginger, Mar Azul and had chefs come in two nights. We also got coffee and baked goods at the new Pawhouse Roasters at the entry to the community. The Pawhouse owners were on site and very helpful and coffee was great. The food universally was delicious and we were all frankly surprised at how good it was. Highly recommend setting up shop at the Aquasport beach chairs and ordering drinks and lunch. Beachfront service! We cannot wait to return to CR and would not hesitate to stay here again.

From the time we booked this beautiful home the service was spot on. Every question was answered in a very timely manner as well as booking activities ahead of arrival and after arrival. All expectations were exceeded including the house location, cleanliness, supplies and timeliness of all booked services (and we had a lot).

Wonderful vacation home surrounded by beautiful flora and fauna!
We loved our experience, Ilan Ilan became our home away from home! We did excursions, but it was nice to come "home" and relax. The view is amazing. There is also wildlife around the house. Every time we would go outside and search the wooded area next to us for the birds, iguanas and monkeys! My wife and I, our 3 teenagers, and my parents had plenty of room and bathrooms. The kitchen and grill was perfect for meals on the patio. House: Clean, charming, and had everything everyone needed! We rented a van to hold 7, and to help get up the hill we would get up speed at the bottom, at airport the rental company lost our reservation we called Zindis & they delivered van! We found the sustainable touches a part of the culture, as the owner and Costa Ricans take pride in keeping their beautiful country natural. Some of the lights and fans are on timers, and the air conditioners have remotes to make them easy to turn off and on, and we were careful to conserve energy. They are big on conserving water, so the pressure isn't as high as in USA, but we were mindful to spread out our showers, again being mindful is part of the culture so we were happy to oblige The tap water is clean and drinkable. We have a couple sensitive stomachs, so I brought a Berkey water purifier to purify our drinking water. Again we watched our footprint when visiting this beautiful country, so I tried not to get plastic bottles of water, instead kept a pitcher of purified water in the fridge We kept a box of recyclables and would take them down to the Luperon to recycle. There are plenty of beach towels. The washer and dryer works well The whirlpool is not heated to conserve energy, but with the hot weather you don't need it Tourist stuff: Hermosa was great little town. The Luperon grocery store and souvenir shop by Hermosa Heights has everything you need. Roberto's was our favorite restaurant for dinner with the sunset, and they used reusable straws! Aqua sport was great lunch spot. Ginger fine dining for dinner. Bocelli's great Italian. The Hermosa Heights pool has a swim up bar and great bar food, and we loved the pool and slides! We did a hike in Rincon De la Vieja park, started at the Las Pailas ranger station (toll road, 700 colons per person), took La Cangreja waterfall trail through rainforest and waterfall was amazing, saw white faced monkeys. We went to Diamante, awesome ziplining and seeing animals. Sunset sail and snorkel through Tico Tours amazing. Pura Vida!

Unbelievable experience! Highly recommend Casa Ilan Ilan
Loved Casa Ilan Ilan. My group of 8 had a tremendous experience with this house and the staff here in Playa Hermosa. The views are just out of this world from the house, the location is convenient to some great restaurants, beaches, and shops. All activities provided through Tico Tours were amazing, from zip lining to whitewater rafting, catamaran, canopy tours, and ATVs. This was a perfect vacation and this was a perfect house.
