Secluded Design jungle villa, very private, concierge service, security
Cosara Guest Villa is an exclusive escape nestled in the jungle above the famous Playa Hermosa (Uvita). Beautiful ocean and jungle views. All that with the constant ocean breeze flowing through the house. The perfect romantic getaway for a couple! This is a brand new guest villa a few meters away from the main villa in a peaceful gated property. It has its own private swimming pool and its own independent access road.
Cosara Guest Villa also has a great location. It is located just 10 min south of Dominical and 5 min north of Uvita. It is also 30 min from Quepos airport and 40 min from the famous Manuel Antonio beach and National Park. There is plenty of beautiful beaches, surf, rivers, waterfalls, and restaurants within a short drive (4x4 not needed). The closest beach is Playa Hermosa - just a 4 min drive from the house.
All our villas come with:
A concierge service to help you with airport transfer, car rental, private Chef, yoga class or massage by the pool, etc
A tour manager to help you organize your outdoor activities and make sure you’re not missing anything in the area.

Nobody met us. So no host interaction at all. Home is VERY SMALL, more like a small suite than a home and the furniture blocks the internal layout. The pictures do not convey this poor layout and very limited space. Effectively it is just a bed room on the top, a small kitchen and nowhere to sit other than the outside and not very clean pool. Sea view is also obstucted. I raised these complaints to the host and the response was pretty much other like it so you are wrong...really? Extremely steep driveway might dissuade others.

Lovely, easy stay
Really beautiful casita with all the benefits of being tucked away in the jungle (lots of birds and animal sightings, not many human noises), yet super comfortable. The home is modern and clean, and the road up the mountain is fully paved, making it an easy drive up. Jerome is highly responsive and helpful. I would absolutely stay here again.

Jungle & Birds
We had a lovely, relaxed and peaceful time at the house. The house is very private and offers a beautiful jungle view with a touch of sea. The house is very cosy and comfortable, with a good size pool for 2 people. Sounds of birds and nature at their best.
