The Staff and Property were very nice! Food is good Rooms are good But they have expectional guest Services! I addressed some Issues with Magdalena and they were were

Never stay there again..may never use Travelovity again

The hostesses were very warm, attentive and welcoming. The facilities are very well maintained and clean. The view of the mountains is spectacular. The daily breakfast with the most delicious tropical fruit and fresh coffee was lovely.

We stayed here solely to do the ziplining and ease our travel time in the morning. It felt that we may have been the only guest while we were there. We were warned not to leave valuables in the car. Our room was very basic, but the owner has tried to give it a decorative flair. Our 1 bedroom 2 queen beds had two showers, which was nice. The lady at the restaurant was very nice and the owner was sweet as well. If you are not there for the adventures, I would not stay here, but if you are staying here for the zip lines or other tours, I would definitely recommend it. The ziplines were breathtaking and the guides were great.

Along with meticulous care of their property, lovely owners Didier & Myriam took very special care of us. The breakfast was consistently a wide array of fresh fruits, juices, “Myriam-made” jams and toast. There was usually an additional delicious surprise - be it Myriam-made Brioche, French crepes, eggs or cheese. Didier’s advice for local details and recommendations was spot on. He also took the time to successfully solve a very difficult problem we had with our rental car company. I’m not sure what we’d have done without him for that! When I asked for an iron to press rumpled wedding attire, Myriam offered to and perfectly ironed the shirt. Such helpful service! Amongst the flowers, plantings and paths, the privately situated, spotlessly clean Carambola Cottage was “ours!” We had a comfortable sleep every night, coffee in our room in the morning, flower decorations from the yard. We could relax with a beverage or snack from our kitchenette on our covered porch day or night, rain or shine. The lovely clean pool is only a few steps away. Cooler, air on the mountain-top made for a pleasant location to return to after a day of touring. Speaking of touring, there were numerous things to do within an hour drive. Just ask Didier. You can also see plenty of Costa Rican flora and fauna right there: Toucans and other exotics put on a show for us at breakfast or poolside. GPS brought us directly from the airport to the Lodge in 45 minutes and we found the expected 1.5 mile local road

I knew as soon as we turned on a dirt road to take us to our hotel that we had made a great choice! We love the quiet and remoteness of Vista Las Islas hotel. The pool is small, the restaurant is small because there were just over 20 rooms to the entire place so at any time, the guest list is limited in number which is perfect for us. The beach is a hike down the mountain but it's well worth it if you're in shape. We passed locals living on the beach, monkeys in the trees, and birds all around as we walked to the remote beach. The staff was awesome but be aware, most of the taxi drivers don't speak any English. None. Not one word and it was hard to communicate with them. So I would recommend learning some Spanish before you go. Or use Google Translator which worked for us!
