Villa Caletas

A quirky hotel with lots of nooks and crannies, fun to explore but could do with more signage around the place. The room was comfortable, little cramped but with amazing views . No extra blanket in cupboards as is the norm. Bathroom was a little dated and could have been cleaner. No hot water in the morning after 5 mins of running, but nice lemon grass scented lotions etc. Resturant has lovely views, dinner was nice but breakfast disappointing, bacon dry and tasteless rather than crispy, toast bland white bread, cooked a while previous. Infinity pool lovely but lots of leaves on floor - not even floating. Like the paths around the property all needed a bit of regular sweeping. Welcome at reception was friendly and golf cart lift to room useful.

I have to agree that the service at this hotel has plummeted over the last few years. The check in experience was just cold and lacked any type of special experience that used to be the hallmark of this hotel. We were severely let down by the quality of the restaurant itself, servicing genuinely bad food at an inflated price. Would not recommend this hotel unfortunately.

I traveled with my wife and a 2-year-old child. The hotel is very beautiful and peaceful, and the entire staff was extremely friendly throughout our stay. The views are among the best in the area—if you visit during summer, you might catch some stunning sunsets. Housekeeping service was excellent: punctual and efficient. A few areas for improvement: 1: The minibar was empty. The front desk staff told me that since 2020, they no longer stock it with items like drinks, snacks, or cookies. 2: The private pools in the villas are quite deep—about 1.7 meters (5.6 feet)—so they're not suitable for kids or anyone who doesn't know how to swim. 3: The room service menu is very limited. Overall, it’s a beautiful hotel. I believe it's mainly designed for couples, but you can definitely enjoy it as a family too—you’ll have a great time.

North Beach high school 50th class reunion trip Between Tarcoles and Jaco, high on a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean, there's a magical place. Villa Caletas is my favorite spot to sip cocktails, in their Zephyr palace and amphitheater, while watching the 360 degree sunset. These beautiful sunset photos are not filtered, just Mother Nature at her finest. Our group did not dine here or stay in the hotel, that's another story 😁, but we enjoyed the most beautiful cocktail hour while watching the sunset. Life is good in Costa Rica Pura vida
