I’ve tried to write this several times now and no matter what I say it doesn’t feel like it does our experience justice. I will start by saying I have absolutely no notes. From the time of the airport pick up to the time we were dropped back off, every single detail was thoughtful, intentional and beyond our expectations. Have you ever cried when checking out of your vacation spot because the staff and surroundings were so hard to leave? Me either. Until we stayed at Oxygen. The property itself is immaculate. Clean, thought out and accommodating on every front. Settled in a mountain in the middle of the rainforest. You feel yourself relax the moment you arrive. The attention to detail is truly unmatched. We spent 6 days there for our 10 year anniversary and felt the love from the staff the entire time. The food was 10/10 every single meal we ate. The housekeeping staff kept our room fresh, clean and smelling amazing. They are incredible!! Anytime we wanted to leave the property, the drivers were happy to take us wherever we wanted to go. We did not rent a car but most of the other guests did. They do have a four wheeler on site you can utilize while you’re there to go down the mountain and anywhere you want to go really. We took full advantage of both of the on site private waterfalls. Breathtaking to say the very least and we always had them totally to ourselves! There are only 12 villas on site so you get all the privacy and relaxation you could ever want. The Oxygen staff handled booking and transportation for all the excursions we wanted to do. Want the best massage of your life with the sound of the waterfalls surrounding you? This is your place! I cried it was so relaxing. I cry a lot haha. Their spa is beautiful. I could go on but in a nutshell, we did not have to worry about or lift a finger for anything and nothing we asked for was off the table. The staff treats you like family and genuinely want you to have the best possible experience while you’re there and it shows. The experience at Oxygen and in Uvita changed our lives forever. We were planning our trip back before we left. I am attaching pictures of just some of the lengths the staff went to for us, the food and also some of the beautiful property Shout to Mau! We love you, brother!! Vali, Omar, Omar, Borman, Louis; our trip would not have been what it was with you all. We miss you all so much already! Pura Vida forever 🧡

Staying at Oxygen was an amazing experience. My husband and I stayed here as part of a trip to celebrate 20 years married. We stayed in the OSA for a while before coming here for 4 nights. It was a brilliant decision. First the place is beautiful. The pool area, bar and restaurant and so well done. Relaxed but beautifully finished and lit. The gardens around are so lush and you can see birds and butterflies as well as many beautiful flowers. Also only 12 rooms so never overrun. We chose a garden villa which we loved as well. The bed was so comfortable and it was very private surrounded by nature. I booked a massage, cheese board and wine before we arrived. The massage is right down by the river in a covered but open area. Had a wonderful massage listening to the birds, howler monkeys and river. Afterwards we sat by the pool enjoying the delicious cheeseboard and wine / it all felt like a dream. And the service was immaculate. Nothing was a problem. Such friendly helpful people. I would come back in a heartbeat!!!!

Oxygen exceeded my expectations!! I needed a vacation where I could have a reset, in nature/near the ocean, explore without having to leave the property, and without any chaos for my birthday reset. Oxygen was thee most perfect option! Luxury but still in the middle of nature. I booked my stay literally the night prior, and from the second I booked, they accommodated me with a driver to pick (Mauricio, he was amazing!!) me up from the airport (4 hr drive from SJO), assisted me with planning a spa day, ziplining, and an RTV to explore the town... seamlessly and all last minute with no hesitation. They made communication with them so easy by communication through WhatsApp and were always SO quick to respond to any questions I may of had. As a young woman traveling alone to another country for the first time, I was a little hesitant on my spontaneous decision. However, the staff was so kind and helpful throughout my whole stay, my worries went away! I'm beyond happy I made the decision to stay with Oxygen. The moment I checked in, my luggage was taken to my villa and I was greeted with a delicious complimentary drink. I requested only 2 things prior to arriving and that was a driver to pick me up from the airport and chose the "mini birthday set", which was not so mini in the slightest. It exceeded my expectations in every way, they went ABOVE AND BEYOND and honestly it put a couple tears in my eyes. They truly made me feel special. When I requested my birthday setup, they asked me what color balloons and what flavor cake I would like, that right there already blew my mind, it showed me they truly cared about their guests experience. Once they walked me to my villa and I saw the balloons through the glass doors, I was in complete awe, it wasn't just a coupe of balloons it was a WHOLE set up with the most beautiful delicious birthday cake!!! I booked my spa day once I got to my villa and they were able to accommodate me for the next day in the morning. I am a spa/massage enthusiast and when I say this wasn't just for the aesthetics, the whole experience was amazing and one of the best massages I've received. I even fell asleep to the sound of the beautiful animals in the forest and the sound of the waterfall, hearing the real deal sounds of the animals and waterfall is a whole different experience in itself. I definitely recommend having a spa day at Oxygen!! It is truly different experience. i'll definitely be back & recommend this beautiful place to any one looking for a solo adventure or any couple looking for a secluded getaway.

We had an amazing time on our babymoon at Oxygen Villas and spa. It is so beautiful and peaceful you cannot beat the private waterfalls and spa at the waterfall. The food and staff are amazing I cannot wait to come back!
