This was our first trip to Costa Rica. We (yours truly, my wife, and two kids, 5 and 8) found Villas Kalimba after researching places to stay in Costa Rica for a first time family trip. We flew in to Liberia and rented a car from Vamos 4X4. The rental experience was positive except for the fact that Vamos likes... more

We stayed there with our 20 months old toddler for 6 days. It was wonderfull. The villa has two bedrooms (TV in both of them) and two bathrooms, dining table outside and everything else. Very beautifull and stylish. The pool was great for our sun, because it is shaded most of the day, but the beach is right across the... more

Villas Kalimba is the perfect spot with young ones in tow - go back and forth from the beach to the pool without any hassles. Very laid back, clean and love the home cooked meals made by Roberto, the owner. Highly recommended, have visited twice and am planning on #3. It's like going back to see old friends. more

My wife and I have just returned from our seventh trip to Costa Rica and our third trip to Villas Kalimba in the last three years. Obviously, we love the place. The six casitas that surround a lovely little pool are roomy, clean, and very well appointed. They have complete kitchens, full bathrooms (in fact ours had two bathrooms) and... more

The villa worked well for us, but the house was fantastic.The kids enjoyed being able to walk to the markets and restaurants., and the small private pool was a treat.The beach... more

Villas Kalimba is a first class place to stay in Samara and one of the best accommodation experiences we have had during our four months in Costa Rica. The villas are centrally located, across from the beach and minutes from good restaurants and a grocery store, yet quiet and private. Each villa is self-contained with a well-equipped kitchen. Perfect for... more
