"The place is a rental property rather than a hotel. The host Carla was very friendly and responsive. The view was amazing. However, the property could use some serious work. There were holes on the wall, stains on the couch, splashes on the kitchen window shades, mold or stains on bathroom ceiling. The bathroom sink doesn’t work. Walls are paper thin that you can hear everything from the next door neighbor. The bedroom AC doesn’t work properly, that it doesn’t cool and was very noisy. The...
"I loved staying at Vista Guapa! Our bungalow was cozy and had AC, there were sweet dogs on the property, and the hospitality was awesome. I can't wait to go back again!"
"Great place to stay just outside of the main road. It's about a 15min walk into town or an Uber for hot days for $3.5.
The breakfast is a large size and the vibe is super relaxing. Would stay here again."

"This property is spectacular the views and sunsets are amazing! Each room is large and has plenty of space. Beds are extremely comfortable. Would stay here again! But would suggest 4x4 to get to the house. Steep inclines and declines. After you go up and down a few times you become a pro! Edgardo is the best at planning and helping with anything you need!!! "
"Absolutely breathtaking view!! The suite with the side yard, is worth the extra money. You have privacy, and there was iguanas we feed fruit. Not sure if you’re supposed to, but they loved it. We will definitely go back!! If I remember correctly, if you click on Google maps from your Expedia emails it won’t take you directly there but it takes you pretty close. Then we actually had to type in the name if the place in Google maps or Waze to get us there. The driveway is pretty steep, and tricky if someone is coming in or out at the same time, so just beCareful. I did think they had room service, and wanted to do that one morning but you actually have to call the restaurants that are on the list that is given in each room and they deliver. Not a huge biggie, we did Steve’s restaurant every morning, they have a great breakfast! We tried the massage place that’s in the book in the room as well, and they were awesome with great prices!! Everything and everyone was amazing!! I was very pleased!! "
"We were 5 couples in 5 rooms. Rooms were clean, and the building was nicely done. The building was cleverly isolated from the lively street and neighborhood. "

"The home was amazing! It was in a perfect location. We loved sitting outside looking at the view of the mountain, jungle and ocean. Every room had an air conditioner. The pool was perfect. There were several different balconies to sit on and enjoy the atmosphere. Communication with the owner and management was great! My family loved it and lived our vacation. "
"Have stayed here before several times and they have done and are continuing to do a lot of improvements. The entire staff from checking in , kitchen and wsit staff, grounds crew have all been very friendly and efficient. The grounds crew does a fantastic job of keeping the jungle and it's critters from literally taking over. There is a lot of wildlife to be seen just walking around and exploring the grounds. The food and beverages have all been very good. I'm staying in 1 of the 2 Tree House rooms and would higjly recommend choosing these rooms. Their balcony"s literally look over the Tarcolito stream and the jungle across the stream is alive with squaking Parrots and Macaws. Truly one of my favorite spots in Costa Rica."
