El Castillo Boutique Luxury Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This place is a diamond in the rough. We almost missed the turn onto the uphill, dirt road that looks like you're going the wrong way. But at the top of the hill, you'll find this beautiful property. The infinity pool and view are incredible. The staff couldn't have been friendlier. The room was very nice. Could have used a steamer or iron, and they probably could have provided if I had asked them. No TV --- but that was actually a plus because this place is meant to be a very calming get away. Drinks by the pool and dinner in the restaurant were great. If you're looking for quiet, calm, and relaxing then this is your spot."

Beautiful Villa Lucia, Gated Tropical Retreat, Private Deck with Pool, Ojochal

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Villa Lucia! It was in a great, safe location and close to waterfalls, shopping, and the whales tail. We loved sitting on the deck and watching the hummingbirds, toucans, and butterflies. The sunsets were amazing too! I recommend a 4 wheel drive vehicle to get up the road easily."

OASIS de las Palmas

8/10 Good

"Their romantic unit was wonderful. Beautiful tropical very private setting. A communal pool that we had all to ourselves. Its an outdoor kitchen that worked but could use a bit of an upgrade. Big fridge but only a 2 burner countertop gas hotplate. No oven or microwave. Good closet space and beautiful shower. Groceries and a very good soda was beside it. Some high end restuarants near by. Could walk but the road is very narrow and its very dark. Osa golf golf course 20 minutes away. Uvita 20 minutes away. Good road into it. I highly recommend this place ."

"Una buena opción en Ojochal"

Beautiful Ocean Views, 15 minutes to the beach, Luxury Spanish Villa.

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved the eight days we spent at this incredible house. Our hosts were very welcoming and met us when we arrived. I had a few questions while we were there and got responses almost instantly.The house was spotless. There wasn't anything that we needed that they didn't have. The pool was fantastic. There wasn't a single day that we didn't swim or chill in the pool. We enjoyed seeing the toucans and other local birds that came around every morning and evening. We even had a coati come visit a couple of the days. One evening we could see howler monkeys in a tree down below the house. Not only was the house great, but the entire area was wonderful. The people were friendly and welcoming. If you're an animal lover, I suggest a tour of Hacienda Baru, which is about 20 minutes away. We used Freddy Cascante. It was our favorite activity for the two weeks we spent in Costa Rica.We wouldn't hesitate to come back to this beautiful property. It's easy to feel the pura vida spirit here."

Vayu Retreat Villas

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding, and the perfect end to a travel and tour-filled vacation. Vayu is an idyllic retreat, nestled in the jungle, surrounded by trees and the sounds of nature. We were even visited by a pair of inquisitive toucans. The rooms are huge - clean and a bed with bedding more comfortable than home. Everything has been perfectly considered - design and integration of technology (most notably the lighting and sound systems). The pool is lovely for a dip to cool off, but beaches are close if you want the sea. 12 minutes drive is a cute set of cafe/restaurants, however the food on site is delicious. The set breakfast (changing daily) and dinner (and additional $60pp for set three-courses) were simple but excellently executed and tasty. The star of this place is Marc - he is Vayu. The amount of care and love he has put into their baby (sorry we didn't meet Rafael) projects into the care and attention he respectfully gives his guests throughout their stay. He is always on hand to assist, and nothing is ever too much trouble for him to help with. We would recommend staying here for a quiet and relaxing few days. A perfect end to a fantastic holiday. "
