A great place to stay! The view from the balcony was the highlight, the ocean and surroundings were exceptional! The property has well maintained gardens and wild life abound-far more than what we saw on the park tour! Capuchin and squirrel monkeys were regular visitors, including howler monkeys, toucans and a sloth in the nearby trees! The villa itself was well equipped, but could use updating. William, the host, was welcoming, kind and helpful.

The National park close. The ocean view was stunning. I spent hours in the hammock on the patio watching the ocean. However, it is an older hotel. Our room was right by the street with very loud traffic noise. The man checking us into room spoke very little English so there was some communication issues. The shower a bit sketchy with wiring.

For people visiting from US. This Place felt like a detached broken garage with hostel beds. Everything was outdated and falling apart. The space is half the size of what it is advertised. I paid $185 per night and we didn’t like it. There is not even coffee or reception area. Complete run down. Please stay away, especially if you are coming with kids/family. Horrible experience overall.

Fantastic view and staff

Upon arrival a monkey visited us and the staff sliced fruit for my daughter to feed her. The best view of the ocean was our room balcony. Every morning on our balcony we had coffee and enjoyed the view and sounds of Costa Rica. Our kitchen had everything we needed to have an easy breakfast and go to our adventures without having to use up time at a restaurant. The beach just down below us so my wife enjoyed her morning walks. It was a great stay

Our 4 nights were flawless! The room was clean and comfy with a very good restaurant in walking distance. The only request from the hotel is to provide a little information about transportation available and local services. An economical room with a kitchenette allowed for us to enjoy breakfast on our balcony overlooking the ocean. We had monkeys visit once and managed to see toucans and a macaw over coffee!

Be prepared to walk up and down stairs here! Restaurants aren't far, but again, up and down hills. The room was nice, the AC was terrific! Irene made it all better when I made a mistake on my reservations, she really tries to help any way she can. You can see the beach, the view is perfect. But you can't get to the beach without a lengthy walk. Watching the monkeys is a kick.

The property manager Hector was excellent. He was very attentive to our needs. The other manager(s) were never seen and only communicated with us through a voice com at the gate. The property is on a cliff and the pool was a steep walk. Our room was on street level which I was happy to have.

What a gorgeous place; we visited here for a couple days and wish it was longer! We will be back. Communication from Villas De La Selva was excellent with Simon setting up a tour for us and providing important information. He was there with a friendly smile to greet us when we arrived; he showed us to our villa and was available throughout our visit. The room itself was exactly as described and had an incredible view of the ocean. We made ourselves breakfasts here in the mornings and had visits from the monkeys! You’ll see all sorts of wildlife here! The gorgeous beach is a five minute walk down the hill and there are dining options around. Highly recommend La Terraza which is just next door. We felt so welcomed here; it felt like home. Thank you for an exceptional experience!

Dated property, pictures did not reflect the actual condition of the room and bathrooms. Too many bugs in the room, tried to cancel after 1 night of stay but property owner refused to refund. They did oblige request to do a bug cleaning while we stepped out but they kept coming back due to cracks In the shower and the cabinets in the kitchen. A private property listed in Expedia (we avoid airbnb for this reason and always book hotels professionally maintained but Expedia is listing small private properties as hotels which is unfortunate).

Disliked: Cleanliness
The balcony and ocean view were lovely. Unfortunately, the bathroom had an unpleasant smell and we were told the wrong time for the park tour that wasn't addressed well. Mistakes happen, but when I sent them a WhatsApp to confirm the time (after waiting for 15 minutes at 7 am for the pick up), the reception said the tour was still coming and continued to say this when I followed up for another 30 minutes. It was 45 min in total before they discovered and admitted that they had gotten the time wrong and it would be another 1.5 hours. We missed the early animals in the park, woke up early, and waited on the busy road for 45 minutes. Again, I understand mistakes happen but they then stopped responding to my messages after this and didn't offer anything other than a brief apology when noting the mistake. For the prices we paid to stay here, the quality of the room, and the service, I do not recommend it unfortunately.
