Welcome to Villa Caletas a luxury boutique hotel in Costa Rica, 1150 feet over the vibrant Central Pacific coast and the rain forest. The hotel is prized not only for its location in the lush tropical jungle, but also for its design, décor, restaurant and private beach. Be prepared to be blissfully taken away and live an enchanting experience where amazing views, outstanding facilities and service are second to none.

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

An exceptional location and helpful and friendly staff make Villa Caletas a wonderful stop on your Costa Rica visit. This was our second stay at Caletas and it was the perfect peaceful long weekend retreat. We especially wanted to recognise Emanuel at the reception who was very attentive and friendly and made us instantly welcome as well as Maria at the Playa who was so friendly and constantly checking if we needed water, food or drinks. The hotel is clean and well run and the views are absolutely spectacular. You will see Macaws, Sloths, Tuscans and occasionally monkeys here - so natural and peaceful.

I arranged a honeymoon in Costa Rica with the majority of our time spent at Villa Caletas. We arrived at our hotel and were blown away by its beauty, a sublime harmony of architectural style and natural splendor. It's one of the nicest places I've ever stayed.

We stayed in Costa Rica at Villa Caletas. The experience provided us with a top-notch hotel room, unique and elegant, with added benefits like spa treatments, horseback riding, dinners with wine and so much more. With the quality of the facilities and the courtesy of the staff, every effort was always made to welcome us.

We stayed at the Villa Caletas for five nights in a junior suite. We LOVED staying at the boutique hotel in our own villa, with a hot tub on the deck, overlooking the ocean. And they threw in breakfasts and dinners, too! We travel a lot and this was the most amazing place we've ever been!
