Luxury Penthouse with Plunge Pool and Beach Club Membership!

Excellent place

My family of 5 spent 8 days at Ibis 9 condo. From the moment we opened the door se we’re impressed withe the condo furnishings. The pictures accurately showed the interior, and the security persons and concierge were extremely helpful and kind. They provided many helpful suggestions to make the stay pleasant and fun. We purchased excursions for scuba, snorkeling, zip line, whitewater rafting, deep sea fishing, ATV, and inland fishing. All coordinated through the concierge, Rafa. They were all excellent with friendly, helpful, high quality service.

By far, the best VRBO we have ever rented from. Rafa was amazing with communication on the check in and out process and all of the activities close by. And I can not say enough about the security team and the club staff. We had a flat tire that would not come off of the hub. And they all worked on it until they got it off and the tire switched out. Highly recommend!!

Ibis #9 was a nice top floor 3bdr/3 1/2 bath condo unit on the outskirts of Tamarindo on the main road towards Langosta. The unit was clean upon arrival. The kitchen was stocked with basics, but anything above that, a trip to the market is necessary (no tin foil, plastic wrap, baggies, or laundry detergent provided). The location is right across from the Langosta Beach Club, which was very convenient (can use their facilities), and a walk on Tamarindo Beach is right there. The condo is on a very busy street with constant traffic going both ways all day long, so be aware of that. Also, right outside the master bedroom windows is a small community of folks who live in sheds, and every single night, there was loud talking and music that went into late hours. The main thermostat in family room was locked at 79 degrees, which was very warm. The bedrooms were much cooler. Overall, our stay was fine, but there were some items mentioned that could use some improvement.

Easy

My three stars is really a merge of 5 stars for a great place and 1 star for an poor set of experiences with an onsite manager named Rafa. I’ve shared my feedback with the owners but want anyone renting this spot to also be aware. Problems included: + overcharging for excursions (make sure you book things like ATVs and other side trips direct. The property manager Rafa takes a large margin, as much as 2x). + not communicating with us despite repeated attempts (then saying, “oh I was too busy”) + not being available onsite to help us (then being seen hanging out in the parking lot and in town talking casually with people) + failing to help us secure a refund for a dysfunctional golf cart we rented through him (I had to eventually go to the owner of the golf cart rental service myself) + failing to return an item we left in the safe despite promising to do so (I eventually had to go over his head). Note: the rest of the team at Ibis, including security and cleaning and parking are wonderful. I recommend them highly. Ibis owners: I encourage you to take corrective action if Rafa is still with you. He is doing your rental property and the Ibis community a disservice.

We stayed here for two weeks during the height of COVID. It was safe, the beach was great, the people were friendly. Will come back to stay again.

Space was perfect for our family and having the Langosta Beach Club across the street was a bonus. Shirt enough walk into downtown that we didn't really need the golf cart.

Really nice condo. Close to beach. Langosta Club across street was great. Would highly recommend this condo if you are going to Tamarindo.

Our stay at the Ibis #9 was great! Far enough away from the noise of the downtown area but close enough to walk. The Langosta Beach Club right across the street was perfect for drinks, swimming and watching sunsets at the end of our day. Most importantly, Rafa and Juan were awesome helping us with any request.
