“villa caletas mountain paradise”

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Villa Caletas. The staff was fantastic and the service was excellent. Villa Caletas is set on a beautiful mountain overlooking the Gulf of Nicoya and the Pacific. The villas are comfortable and each one offers a fair amount of privacy. Our villa had a view of the rainforest which sloped down to the beach which is over a mile below. There was a wide variety of wildlife including toucans, parrots, coatis, and scarlet macaws, not to mention the numerous lizards and even poison dart frogs. The villa was much the same as it was in 1992 when I first stayed at the hotel. It was great to meditate in the morning as the clouds came off the ocean and climbed up the mountain towards us. All of the birds were waking up and making their appearances in the trees surrounding the villa. The sunsets were fantastic. The room service meals were delicious and very reasonably priced. The hotel has expanded and offers a variety of larger villas some of which have their own private pools. I would highly recommend this hotel if you are in the Jaco/Herradura area during your trip to Costa Rica.

“finest hotel in Costa Rica”

Excellent amentities, great staff & food. Only letdown was poor beach. Take the Calypso Cruise to Tortuga, great island.

“a place like no other”

if I have to mention one positive feature is the hotel location, this is an unsual place with unusual beauty. I'm planing to go back.

“A perfect retreat”

The hotel had stunning views, quiet, nicely furnished and comfortable rooms and helpful staff. Watching Toucans from the balcony of the room was other worldly. The pool area was spectacular and I spent an excellent 2 hours at their spa. We really enjoyed the restaurants on site - excellent food and service. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind for a couple of days especially after a week in San Jose.

“Very good hotel”

It is a very nice hotel in the middle of the forest on the mountain. The hotel provides a shuttle to the beach, but do not expect too much from the beach....rocks and peables. If you stay at this hotel you need a car to drive to the surrounding sandy beaches (very nice, not very crouwded). The hotel has an infinity pool, not very big if you are into swimming. The staff is very nice and helpful. Most of them speak very good english and the service is excellent. When we arrived, the staff offered as several rooms to choose from (since we came early in the morning and they had several available). We saw several room and they are very different, decoration and view. The restaurant is very good, but more expensive than other restaurants in Jaco. Lunch or dinner costs 50-75$/person and breakfast 20$/person. Jaco is not too far and it is a very nice town with cute restaurants and stores. The hotel provides free internet and also has 2 computers available for guests (day and night). The hotel is very secluded. You can see many birds and animals. The view is breathtaking. Many tourists come just for the view. We enjoyed the visit.

“Wonderful Sunsets”

Stayed one night but wish we could stay a month. Excellent service, very friendly hotel and restaurant staff, outstanding location. Surreal infinity pool something out of Vanity Fair. Great for anyone looking for a unique small hotel in a beautiful, remote coastal setting.

“A Beautiful Hotel”

This hotel is hands down one of the most beautiful places I have been! The staff was friendly, food was great, accommodations and views spectacular! We saw scarlet macaws, iguanas, toucans and coati from our balcony.... amazing!

“I only stayed 2 nights and what a experience, the best.”

from breakfast to lunch and dinner, the food was 5 stars and I payed for 2 stars.

“Phenomenal Stay!”

My wife and I went to Hotel Villa Caletas for a 10 year wedding anniversary getaway. We had a fantastic experience with unbelievable service from the hotel staff, excellent dining, and a breath-taking view from our balcony!!!! We would definitely return!

“Exceeded our expatations”

This place is about two miles from their private beach. The hotel set on a hill top over looking the Pacific ocean. The nearest town Jaco which is six miles away. Cost about $10.00 for taxi. Jaco is a good clean America tourist town. The hotel is mostly private bungalows. There are quite a lot of stair climbing. I wouldn't recommend to people who have trouble climbing stairs. We were 120 stairs from the lobby. The have a nice infinity swimming pool, a bit small for swimming but very enjoyable. The separate building with 8 rooms across the street has a private lap swimming pool. The have two restaurants but one was closed while we were there. When it is a little busier the open the more formal dinning. We Were very happy with all the food and accommodations. We plan on going back again.
