LagunaVista Villas

The individual villas provided wonderful views of the lagoon and ocean. Views from the bathroom was a bonus. Owner/hosts were very friendly and accommodating and directly supported the evening discussions. Room was quite comfortable and basic. Expect to see and hear birds of all descriptions right from your private terrace.

The quality of the road to get there. very limited local facilities.

An amazing experience. A great place to stay and enjoy the wildlife of the Corcocada National park with it rich ecco system. Not a modern brick highrise hotel, but selection of private villas set in a lush hillside garden, each having a stunning view of the Pacific with the lagoon just infront. The individual villa had a large deck with a punge pool (as well as the main hotel pool), and a semi “outdoor “ bathroom to really get back to jungle nature. The sleeping area, main room has wire mesh insect netting, so no bites! Possible to sit on the deck or in the plunge pool with cute quati animals running roind, red macaws in the trees and howler monkeys calling from the forest. (pretty special ). Canoe tours round the tranquil lagoon at dawn or dusk are also a great way to see many birds and crocodiles. A tradition of a sundowner drink in the open air reception building was a memorable way to see the Pacific Ocean. This is also where the meals, that are included are served, local style food specially prepared by the hotel chef. The hosts, Greg and Keiko could not have been more helpful or hospiable, and make sure that you get to experience everything that you want to see or do during your stay. Would highly recommend. The hotel is slightly off the beaten track, even if you have a car, so make sure to work out transportation with the hotel.

Slightly difficult to get to, but worth it.

Everything is just amazing.

The food and chefs really superb.

Facility did not meet our expectations for a $300 dollar per night lodging. Should be more in the range of $150. The grounds and cabinas are fairly rustic, no curtains on the windows so you will wake at 5:30am with light, very old bathrooms, hot water usually did not work. The view is insane, and thats what you are paying for, but the wifi does not work most of the time and there is very little to do at the hotel, only a few costa rica guide books to read. The pool was undergoing maintainence while we were there so we could not use it, but it looks very nice. Also it says its a beachfront hotel on booking but it is not. You have to walk down the main road 20 minutes to get to the beach or pay for a ride.
