Costa Rica Luxury Rentals vs. Resorts: Which Should you Choose?
Unique and private accommodations, safe surroundings, and convenience that allows you to truly enjoy your tropical vacation. These are just some of the things people consider before choosing between Costa Rica luxury rentals and luxury resorts. Let’s explore how The Point Luxury Villa rivals a Costa Rica luxury resort.
Personal Touch
As the only guests at our Tamarindo luxury rental, you’ll get a truly personalized experience. There’s no competing for the concierge’s time and attention here like there would be at a resort with many guests to please. Here at The Point, all our time and attention will be spent on you and your needs. Our personalized concierge team allows you to experience everything and plan nothing for your vacation. From planning your itinerary to making reservations and coordinating logistics, our 24/7 concierge service is here for you and your guests. Just let us know what you would like to do, see, eat, and more and our team will provide the best recommendations and strategically plan your trip so you are not left waiting for transportation, feel comfortable traveling within the country, and experience everything you desire.
Complete Privacy
Unlike a crowded Costa Rica luxury resort, you and your guests have complete privacy at The Point Luxury Villa. Feel free to do, act, eat, and wear whatever you want – there’s no judgement here! If you feel like a midnight skinny dip you can feel free. Want to walk around naked in the master suite? There’s nothing but 180-degree views of Tamarindo bay and the waves at Langosta beach to see you. You can enjoy these peaceful and spectacular views from the deep soaking tub in the ensuite as well. You and your guests can even enjoy the tropical luxury of a completely private indoor/outdoor shower – a refreshing feature available in five out of the six suites!
Excellent Security
Even in a luxury resort, tourist destinations in foreign countries can be a hot spot for things like petty theft. You can feel safe and secure at The Point Luxury Villa. The Point features 24/7 neighbourhood security, and it’s located in the only community in Playa Langosta with a security team and front gate guards. The Point goes the extra mile, providing our own private security team to patrol the villa and beach side of the property. The staff at the villa is trusted and regular, with people that we’ve come to know personally. You’ll get to know them too, with daily housekeeping and daily breakfast being served. We even offer personal security for outings if required. You’ll feel safe right from the start of your vacation with our private shuttle service to and from the airport for you and your guests.
Private Pool & Gym
There is no such thing as getting down to the deck early to save yourself a spot by the pool here! There’s always space for you and your guests at our large infinity pool that appears to melt into the Pacific Ocean. The pool deck features comfortable lounge chairs, with enough space for everyone, unlike some resorts. Our wonderfully shady gazebo is the perfect place to nod off for a midday siesta – try that at a crowded resort!
Also, there is a private gym for your training with ocean views. You can have our trainer come in and assist you or wake up and do your daily routine in the comfort of AC. You don’t have to wait for any machines or worry about other people’s sweat behind!
Beach Access
Our private beach access just steps from the villa is an added bonus no Costa Rica luxury resort can offer. You’ll feel like you’ve landed your own private beach when you stay at The Point! And don’t worry, we have all the beach gear, from chairs, to towels, to coolers, to boogie boards. Our unlimited service has everything you can want for your beach days. We offer surf boards, stand up paddle boards (SUP), and kayaks.
Great Outdoors
The outdoor living area at The Point offers a peaceful place to relax and enjoy the beautiful tropical climate. All you will hear is the sounds of the crashing waves and the winds blowing through the palms. Another luxury experience that happens right around dusk is when the staff lights the torches around the pool and the outdoor fireplace. Watching the flickering flames as the sun starts to slip into the Pacific creates a truly magical ambiance. This private oasis is what really makes The Point Luxury Villa stand out from a Costa Rica luxury resort or hotel. You and your guests will enjoy al fresco dining, barbecues, and just chilling out at The Point’s luxury outdoor space.
Gourmet Kitchen
Fancy yourself a weekend chef? You won’t get your own gourmet kitchen at a Costa Rica luxury resort! The Point has a fully equipped kitchen with granite countertops, high end appliances, and every culinary convenience. The professional grade kitchen is fully stocked, featuring two gas stoves, two large refrigerators, two dishwashers, two wine coolers, two moveable bar stations, and filtered cold, sparkling, and hot water dispenser. There is also a large outdoor grill, a commercial style smoker, and a small service kitchen. We’ll even stock your fridge! Don’t feel like cooking? Don’t worry! Our private chef is available to cook all your meals if you like, with daily breakfasts included in your stay.
Your Schedule
Everything happens on your schedule when you stay at The Point, not someone else’s. Our 24/7 concierge services can arrange everything from in house massages, to private yoga classes, to childcare. There’s even a private gym you can use whenever you want. Want to go surfing, golfing, ziplining, white water rafting, sport fishing, scuba diving, or even spend the day aboard a luxury catamaran? We plan it all around your schedule.
Get Connected
Last but certainly not least, spending time with your family and friends at a Costa Rica luxury rental versus a resort means you get a chance to truly connect with each other. Meals around the dining room table, family barbecues, late night talks around the fire, boardgames, pool time, and beach time – all of it will be spent together in the privacy of your own home away from home. This is something you can not compare to a resort vacation. This is quality time spent together, making memories, and getting connected, all while enjoying the beauty and diversity of Costa Rica.
While vacationing at a luxury resort can be fun, we think you will find staying at a private luxury villa more enjoyable. You and your family and friends will have the villa all to yourselves, and with everything you need right at your fingertips, it will feel so much like your own home you will forget it’s a rental! Our professional team ensures that every element of your Costa Rica luxury rental will showcase the country’s natural beauty for everyone that is visiting. Part of how we do is this by making sure that all seven bedrooms in the villa have oceanfront views and quaint patios where you can relax and experience the tropical ambiance – try getting that at a resort! Remember, at The Point Luxury Villa, you will be making all your best memories with your family and friends, not with strangers.
Whether your priorities are safety, privacy, luxury, or all of the above, we strive to provide you and your family with the Costa Rica vacation of your dreams. Contact us today at The Point.
