"Location was amazing and the villa was stunning. Waking up to the jungle surroundings through the bedroom was fantastic. Beautiful quiet area with a great soda nearby. Wishes we’d booked 3 nights!"

" A Slice of Paradise in Costa Rica!From the moment we arrived, this stunning home exceeded every expectation. The views were absolutely breathtaking—so mesmerizing that I found myself taking the same photo over and over again, unable to get enough of the scenery. Whether it was sunrise, sunset, or the golden hour in between, the vistas never got old.The owners clearly poured their hearts into the design. Every detail was thoughtfully curated to maximize the natural beauty surrounding the property. Large windows, perfectly placed seating areas, and open spaces made it feel like nature was part of the home itself. Morning visits from the toucans made morning coffee on the patio an unforgettable memory with sounds of the ocean and the ocean views, just awesome! The pool was huge and had options for lounging or laps. The infinity edge was perfect for lounging and soaking up the ocean views. What truly set this place apart were the personal touches. You can tell the owners went above and beyond to create an unforgettable experience.If you have time and are able, request the waterfall rappelling tour and mangrove kayaking tour. Both were fantastic. Diego and Anner were amazing guides, taking time to explore, enjoy the natural settings, and genuinely good people. If you're looking for a peaceful escape with unbeatable views, pool and a home that feels like a dream, this is it. Costa Rica was amazing—and this house was a huge part of that! Thanks for everything!"

"Great staff and food!"

"Very clean and the maintenance guy was super nice showing us the property and how to get in"

"Our stay at this property was absolutely wonderful. The house, gardens, and views were even more stunning in person than in the photos. Everything was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained.The owners were incredibly helpful and welcoming. The caretaker met us at the local grocery store, waited while we picked up supplies, then guided us to the house and gave us a thorough walkthrough. The owner also stayed in touch throughout our visit and was especially helpful when my son needed medical care, providing prompt and valuable assistance.Do note that the house is located on a steep dirt road—having a 4x4 vehicle is definitely recommended. The nearest beach is just a short drive away, and there are plenty of excellent restaurants, scenic beaches, waterfalls, and other attractions nearby.We had an amazing time here and would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area!"

"We had 2 families stay together on this property for a week and it was gorgeous!! Don’t get me wrong, there are some things that need a little work, but it was a great adventure. We stayed very busy, but spent some time at the house too since it was rainy season.Things that were not advertised— oven doesn’t work( We had to cook stovetop the entire time); they have a bat problem (which I was told was taken care of); holes in the screen (hence the bat problem) that could easily be fixed; The road getting to the house is almost impossible!! We had 2 Subaru 4x4’s and it was tough. Again, rainy season and they roads were flooded. Even without the water the holes are insane!! If you can get a jeep or SUV, you will be better.There is a resident cat (we named her Dora because she is an explorer) that we were unsure of at first. TRUST ME- you want Dora around. She is really sweet and she hunts ( if you know what I mean).The caretaker next door, Francisco, is absolutely adorable and so kind!! He doesn’t speak much English, but he had fun trying to communicate with our teenagers. He has a dog, Roki that visits too (he likes belly rubs).Overall, the experience was great and it was the adventure we were looking for!!"

"Highly recommended. Facility is outstanding. Only thing better is the service from staff. One of the best vacations I have ever been on. "

"The property was as described with no running water due to construction in the area. The road was dirt with lots of pot holes. It was almost impassable. The property owner responded the first day about no hot water. No answer at all about not having any water at all."

"The location of the property is beautiful, set back from the road and elevated for a great view of the Pacific. We particularly enjoyed the Happy Hour each day at 5:00 to enjoy the fabulous sunsets. The pool, the colorful plants, the toucans, tanagers, orapendulas and numerous other birds added so much to our visit. The staff was so accommodating and friendly. Our 5 days spent at Cristal Ballena were top notch!"
