Book a Carmen Resort

"Great experience love it "

"Lovely property - the property team is simply wonderful. Felt like “home away from home”. Very cozy with beautiful room and bed setup with balcony. Loved the location and simply blissful. Planning to go back again. "

"Great!"

"It was even more beautiful than the online photos. Loved relaxing by the pool after a day by the beach. Stefanie was wonderful in showing us everything and helping us get last min surf lessons for the kids. Jairo was a great help assisting us when needed. We loved every minute and hope to return some day. "

"We had a really good time at Zula. Loved the junior suite amenities. Nice and comfortable bedding, full kitchen and quiet location. Highly recommended."

"Excelente hotel, en una ubicación ideal y super centrico. Todo los del staff super amables y amigables. Súper recomendado!"

"Amazing views and the terrace with the jacuzzi is absolutely worth it. Daily cleaning with fresh towels, coffee/tea refills, and everything left spotless. The bed was super big and very comfortable. They even left us a complimentary bottle of wine. The reception staff were incredibly kind and helpful, both via WhatsApp and in person. The road is steep but manageable with an SUV (no 4x4 needed), and walking takes just 7–10 minutes. We loved that it’s away from the busy center—much more peaceful and the views are way better. Only downside: the kitchen is minimally equipped (just two glasses, two plates, one pan), and lacks basics like salt or oil. Also, most of the fridge space is taken by minibar items (for purchase). Still, we highly recommend it!"

"My group of six friends had a really great time at Villa Makai, Santa Teresa location! Our plan for this vacation was to be active, eat healthy, have a lot of fun and have time for a relaxation as well. Seven nights was not a very long time for everything but still we were very happy and satisfied at the end of our stay. The villa was perfect for us, beautiful, very clean, very well equipped. Also, we could see and feel the nature so well through the glass and screen panels downstairs. We really enjoyed the pool and a beautiful dining area outdoors.We did practice yoga every morning as a group and there is a very nice platform for a meditation practice as well. Overall we had a great time, not only because of the place but also because of very nice people: the owner Martin, the wonderful concierge Josefina and other staff members. Everyone was super helpful and doing everything so our stay was as pleasant as possible. We had a great communication with the owner Martin and the concierge Josefina before our trip and during our stay at Costa Rica. Josefina was really wonderful! She did help us with grocery shopping, to book our trips, activities, restaurants reservations. She also found an excellent chef for our special “dine and celebrate life at Villa Makai” experience. By the way, we strongly recommend Chef Luis for a special occasions. The food was really delicious and chef Luis is very experienced and he is super nice and friendly person. We just loved the whole experience!"

"Everything was as described in the add. Great location and very clean. Thank you"
