The views were spectacular, and it was an amazing way to celebrate two birthdays! I loved how accessible all the nearby adventures were, and the staff went above and beyond — they were so friendly and helpful. The only drawback was the beds; they weren’t very comfortable, which made it hard to recover after such active days. I woke up feeling stiffer than I went to bed, but overall, the experience and location make it worth visiting!

One of the most outstanding properties, for house layout, location and amenities, we have ever rented. The property was not clean. The patios and outside furniture were almost not usable due to the lack of cleaning. It was like every drawer, every cabinet, junk was just thrown in after each guest. There was no on site concierge, there was no light daily cleaning as advertised. We were advised that a party of 15 checked out the morning we arrived, so there was not enough time to clean? We had to insist on getting access to laundry facilities, only too be too scared to use, once provided due to the uncleanliness. The house would be fabulous, if someone went in organized and threw mountains of trash away. And, demanded guests keep it that way. Shampoo and lotion was provided, no soap. No hot water in the kitchen and no kitchen towels. Most of the beach and pool towels were in a pile in a dirty garage. We would definitely stay here again, provided there were assurances of it being clean and organized. We can not state enough how beautiful the house is, how perfect the house layout and how beautiful the outdoor spaces.

Beautiful home in remote location

The views are stunning and the house is well-maintained but it is extremely isolated. Unless you plan to use the chef service (only available for breakfast and dinner), you will have to make all of your own meals. Additionally, the house is 35 minutes from the nearest town, an hour from the nearest grocery store and requires a 4x4 to access it. Taxis typically cost a minimum 75 each way. There are nearby hotels but they do not allow non-guests to visit their restaurants. My friends and I enjoyed our stay but had we known about the isolation of the property, we would have stayed elsewhere.

Beautiful house and view.

Nicole, our host, was very good communicating with us. She recommended the use of their service and cook for an additional fee but we declined. We should have used them. The house is not easy to get to and is 30 minutes from restaurants. It would have been much easier. This house is beautiful and spacious with many amenities. Our only problem was with the hot water. It didn't work in 2 of the bathrooms until Nicole taught us how to reset the mechanism. Then it worked great.

Fantastic experience

We loved our week at Hacienda Diamante! First of all, if you rent a car, heed the warnings about needing an SUV. While we didn’t have to use the 4 wheel drive, getting up the very steep switchbacks to the house is a bit harrowing. However once you do, it is gorgeous. The view is stunning! We also loved all the wildlife - we had an iguana who hung out on the roof all week, green parrots in the trees, hummingbirds and dragon flies. We loved watching all the crazies doing the Superman zip line right by the house. The rooms were spacious, the beds were comfortable and all rooms had their own AC. We hung out in the gorgeous pool a lot. Meals were easy, we just told Nicole what we wanted for dinner and the next day’s breakfast each day. She also shopped for snacks and drinks each day. If you have a day to do so, have Nicole arrange a boat charter. We had a blast doing that! We would definitely stay here again!

Outstanding experienc!

9 friends and I rented this house for my 40th birthday. We were overwhelmed by the property, Nicole's attentiveness (on-location concierge), outstanding food and over the top hospitality. The pictures do not do the house justice -- it is far more beautiful than any picture can capture. A sample of the flora and fauna at the house, viewed from the pool: howler monkies, resident iguanas, parrots and lots of tropical birds, variegated squirrels, hummingbirds by the Lobelia every 20 mins... it was incredible! A few notes: - Absolutely 100% you need a 4x4 coming up the road. It is very steep and my friend didn't get a 4x4 and barely made it up. He swapped for a 4x4 on day 2. - The master bedroom on the right, when walking into the house, has lower water pressure than the master on the left. - The scorpions are not poisonous - Listen to all Nicole's suggestions and introductions, especially her driver and diver referral. Outstanding private drivers, ask for Jose! Outstanding Diving -- Rich Coast Diving. - Listen to Nicole's suggestions on tips. Your tip at the end of the stay will pay for the crew of 9. Her tip is included in what she suggests. As you know, Costa Rica is very expensive, so if you are able, tip more than what she suggests. I can't recommend this house and team enough. Thank you!

Amazing Views, some room for improvement

The views this property offers are breathtaking! The house was perfect for a multi family vacation! The house offers a cook service and a manager. The manager will get groceries and coordinate meals which was nice because there are not a lot of options for eating out close by.It would have been great if the house offered a list of guest favorites for meal options. The house manager was not helpful with this.It was stressful to come up with multiple meal ideas until the manager agreed to one. In general, the manager wasn't helpful when asked questions about anything. She was able to suggest a couple of places to visit but overall was more of a frustration for us. She made us feel like we were being unreasonable asking questions such as how the cook service works or suggestions for meals. I was disappointed that the master bathroom was not cleaned prior to our arrival. The toiletries on the counter were half used and the toilet was dirty. The shower hadn't been cleaned for quite some time evident by the orange slime under the faucet. I gave some grace because the stove was broken and they were trying to fix it when we arrived. The guests before us left the morning we got there. It would be smart for the house to allow a day in between guests to accommodate things that are broken and allow the staff time to clean properly. During our stay the outside grill was unusable and only two burners on the stove worked. Overall I would recommend this house but some improvement needed

Incredible house

Our group of 7 had an absolutely wonderful time. We all agreed that the pictures on vrbo did not do it justice. Like other people mentioned, the drive way that is shared with the superman zipline station is the steepest road I have ever been on. But is mostly paved and a 2 wheel drive was able to get up and down no problem. Nicole was an excellent resource for the area and our cook was amazing. The staff plus the location and the quality of the house made this an unforgettable vacation that all future vacations will be measured against. You will not regret vacationing here.

Having the Diamante Adventure Park right below and the beach 5 minutes away is an added bonus. Also not to far away from Flamingo Beach if you dont mind driving a rental. 5 stars.

We had an excellent experience from start to finish in this house. Nicole made sure our stay was perfect; I wish she managed every place we stay. This was a much needed R&R trip for a bunch of tired parents, and it did the trick. The house has all the amenities we needed and then some. There are plenty of fun activities close by.

Amazing Property in an Incredible Location

Our group of three couples with five children had an excellent experience at Hacienda Diamante in March of 2019. We've been staying in VRBO properties since 2011 and this home easily ranks as one of the most luxurious and well appointed properties we've visited. The concierge and cook were attentive to all the needs of the group and helped us create a truly memorable vacation. The Diamante Eco Adventure park provided an excellent day of entertainment that was practically in the back yard with almost no travel time. We also enjoyed the proximity to Playa Matapalo and spent several days exploring the beach when we could tear ourselves away from the incredible infinity pool. All in all, this home set the stage for a wonderful family vacation. I would echo the advice of other travelers who recommend renting a four wheel drive vehicle. The access road is short but steep and we found it was easier to explore the surrounding area with a rental car.

Perfection!

The property impresses the moment you arrive. The staff is friendly and welcoming, Marielos is a wonderful cook and will make you anything your heart desires. The house itself is bright, airy and beautiful. The bedrooms are all suites and have sliding doors to the most incredible outdoor infinity pool and patio. The Diamante Eco Adventure Park as well as Playa Matapalo are about a 5 minute drive from the estate. Playa Coco is about 30 minutes if you're looking for some nightlife. The house is exceptionally clean.
