We loved our stay at Macadamia! The unit is self-contained and well-equipped with everything that you might need - even salt and oil if you want to cook and laundry detergent for the washing. There is a fantastic soda just 5 mins walk away. The air conditioning was fantastic in one room and not so good in the other, but it gets cool at night and you can open the windows. We even saw an armadillo next to the driveway! Guillermo is super helpful, and this is a wonderful place to stay.
The house was immaculate, secure and quite. Our host was at the house for check in and greeted us warmly. Offered services to set up tours, gave us recommendations for food and answered phone calls promptly. Guillermo was our host and key to our amazing stay at Macadamia. We didn’t have a vehicle, but calling for a taxi was easy and quick. Highly recommend for a peaceful stay in quiet surroundings yet close to all the local activities.
We had an excellent stay at the Macadamia villas. The property is gated and secure, and each of the villas is well equipped and a good size for 2-6 people. The property is located slightly outside the main town, so I would recommend staying here only if you have your own vehicle.
The host, Guillermo, was very kind and welcoming, and gave us local recommendations during our stay. We even contacted him via WhatsApp during our stay and he arranged a tour for us. I would highly recommend anyone to stay at this property if you're in the Santa Elena/Monteverde area.

Macadamia is perfectly located to enjoy the area’s parks and activities. Pretty much everything you’d want to visit is only about five or ten minutes away. Door to door, downtown Santa Elena is only 4 minutes. The house was very comfortable and stocked with everything we needed. Two separate bedrooms were great for our family of four. Our kids loved the trampoline, and I loved sitting out on the comfy chair in front of the house reading early in the morning and watching the birds. Guillermo welcomed us warmly to our house. A bit of a language barrier on arrival, but we figured everything out between my mediocre Spanish and translation tools. Note: call/text ahead if your arrival to get the code to the gate at the end of the driveway as well as the separate code to your villa. The property was well landscaped, very secure and quiet.

Bugs and Horrible Communication
There are 6 villas on the property. It is a nice property, nice 2 bedroom cottage. The on-site manager is helpful, but only speaks Spanish. The main problem is that our unit has a huge bug infestation, including cockroaches. Bugs are to be expected in CR, but not like this and this was by far the worst experience. Property was clearly not well cleaned and looked after. When we complained they just came with a can of bug spray, which wouldn't work and which wasn't possible with kids in the house. They moved us, but the new unit also had bugs. The worst part was that the ownership simply doesn't respond to emails or communication, and the property manager says he can't do anything unless they respond, and apparently they don't respond to him either. They also didn't respond to hotels.com. So nice house in theory, but horrible customer service and bugs.

Coming to Costa Rica from the US, we weren't sure where to stay in Monteverde. This turned out to be a great choice, and with a little heads up, you'll have a great time here. The booking confirmation said to contact the property about 24 hours in advance to arrange for check-in. Don't ignore these instructions! We tried to call, but were not able to get through and only heard a brief recorded message in Spanish. Our fault for not speaking the native language, so that's on us. Try harder to contact them than we did! Turns out we needed to get the key code for the gate to get to the check-in desk. After getting them on the phone and working through the language barrier, we were finally able to get into the community and were shown to our condo by a very nice and helpful lady, who was patient with our broken Spanish. The place was clean and the neighborhood well cared for. Screened windows allowed us to let the cool Monteverde breezes blow through the house and we never had to use the AC, but it was nice knowing it was available. It's a short drive to all the Monteverde attractions and the downtown area with shops and restaurants. We recommend the Treehouse Restaurant, Taco Taco and if you're heading to the Cloud Forest (20 min drive), check out Cafe Calibri to see plenty of hummingbirds. The property included a full kitchen and laundry room and was comfortable. Totally recommend for a great time in Monteverde!

The Villas are beautifully maintained. Comfortable and convenient to St. Elena. You’ll need a rental car as the walk to town is very hilly. We loved having all the space and a full kitchen. The host Guillermo is extremely nice and accommodating- our coffee maker broke so he gave us his! He does not speak English but we used our Google translator with no problems. The only issue we had were some pretty large spiders crawling around the floor, but it is to be expected given the location in the cloud forest.

Gullermo at reception was fabulous. He answered any questions and provided any information we required. Lovrly man.
He booked us a taxi too which arrived bang on time and returned for us bang on time.
The accommodation was plenty big enough for us with everything we needed. The washing machine and drier were an excellent bonus.
Nice villa, looks better than pictures. Close to town

We had an exceptional stay at Villas Macadamia. Upon arrival, we received clear and direct communication regarding property access. The property is securely gated with an electric gate and keypad, complemented by a motion sensor light, which was particularly convenient as we arrived late in the day. A delightful surprise for our family (especially our son) was that each villa comes equipped with its own trampoline, which he thoroughly enjoyed. We also appreciated the convenience of having a washer and dryer available within the villa.
The villa itself is spacious and thoughtfully designed, featuring rocking chairs on the front porch and additional seating in the back, all set amidst lush greenery. Guillermo, the property manager, was incredibly helpful and responsive, always available via WhatsApp to promptly address any questions or concerns.
Overall, our stay in Monteverde was wonderful, and we would undoubtedly choose Villas Macadamia again should we return to Costa Rica.

Loved the private gate entry! Guillermo the concierge was super helpful, even with our late arrival. He suggested a great place to eat and even made sure we came down the mountain on the better route than we went up. So do your research on how to get there.

The villa was even nicer than the photos! Check in was absolutely seamless by corresponding directly on What's app with the property manager, Guillermo. They use codes for the main gate and the front door of the villa.
All the kitchen equipment you need and the washer/dryer made the stay absolutely wonderful.
AC units in both bedrooms as well as one in the main area.
Our kids LOVED the trampoline outside our villa (Villa #5 has a bigger trampoline than some other ones) and the gated compound allowed them to go and explore on their own.
You can see the low-hanging clouds drift through the compound, so cool. Sat outside under the covered patio during rain storms.
Anything we needed, Ana and Guillermo were there instantly. Wonderful stay, would highly recommend.

Guillermo met us at the gate, showed us where to park and took great care of us. The villa was beautiful with a big bathroom and great kitchen (full sized fridge, coffee maker, stove top with pots, etc. just no stove). Bedrooms were big and had AC.
