Vista las Islas was a true gem! This place has an amazing vibe, staff, and view. You are truly in your own little piece of paradise. The rooms and grounds are well kept and maintained. The pictures don’t do it justice. They have an onsite restaurant, amazing included full breakfast and pool bar. Mauricio was amazing at the pool bar/restaurant for your needs. The staff helped us with our luggage in and out. There are lots of monkeys in the trees you can enjoy from the restaurant also. It’s a little bit of a bumpy ride to get there (about 5 min) on a bumpy dirt ride but so worth it. You are only a 5 min drive down to Playa Organos a beautiful beach and your view from the pool is of Tortuga Island. My family would stay here again.

Amazing view over the islands. Monkeys and birds in the trees. Friendly and caring staff. Hotel connected us with great activities - bioluminescence kayak tour, and all day snorkeling/boat tour. Location is a bit remote, but that was part of the charm.

Absolutely gorgeous property. We stayed here for one night on our way to Metezuma. The views and pool over looking the cliff were stunning. The staff and food were amazing. I am so glad we booked here for one night. I will never forget this place. However, there was no water pressure nor could I get hot water. The toilets didn't flush either. I wouldn't of been able to stay longer than one day. I couldn't shower in the morning and was afraid to use the toilet. I didn't make it an issue because we weren't staying. But something was going on with the plumbing.

The hotel was really pretty, our room had a great view and very relaxing. However, please be wary (if you are relying on taxis for transportation). There are apparently two available taxis in the area, and the hotel staff recommended a taxi driver (1 of the 2 taxi drivers available in the area) and he completely ripped us off. We went to "Curu Wildlife Refuge" and he charged us an insane amount, when we questioned him, his explanation did not make sense. We then asked locals in the park, and explained how the amount was way too high. If possible, please avoid taxis in this area, they make up their own prices and scam people.

The views are crazy amazing. The rooms are nice. The pool is great. However our airconditioner made a noise they was very irritating to me and i was unable to sleep. The bed was pretty hard. My breakfast was practically not edible, the sausage was super over cooked and just tasted bad, the bacon was barely cooked at all and was practically raw. The eggs were over cooked. The give sour cream instead of Natilla (for those who don't know, there is a definite difference), the wrap was not horrible (not especially good) but was more similar to what we refer to as a quasidilla or even a burrito. The fish fingers were also not good, i did not eat them, ended up pulling the breading off and feeding to the large orange cat that lives on the property. I liked the hotel for the view. The beach that is nearby is also pretty from a far but up close is full of debris. We would not attemp to get in.the water. The road leading to the hotel is pretty bad but take your time and you will be fine. Be prepared, even though there are a couple of markets in town there are only a couple of choices for prepared food.

Wish I stayed longer!
As often the case with the best places in Costa Rica, you are never sure if the GPS is actually taking you where you need to go! But sur enough you get to the top of this steep incline and you are greeted with one these magnificent views of this bay! The staff was super friendly with us and our very young children! Always smiling and happy to joke around with my 2 year old daughter! The restaurant has a simple but very good selection of dishes. The cocktails where fantastic ( try the gin gin, you won't regret it). The pool was clean and cool, it's not very deep so perfect to walk around with my 5 months old daughter in my arms while soaking up the view. We were greeted by howler monkeys in the morning with our coffee on the balcony and to take a shower with that view!!!

This hotel is truly isla vista! The most imaculate view from both our room, restaurant and the pool. There really wasn’t a location in this hotel that didn’t look like out of a painting. I took at least 200 photos/sunset from the infinity pool around sunset and finally got to see a monkey from our balcony. From all our stays in Costa Rica, this was the most relaxing and most beautiful. The food and service was also very good. All the sweet kitties lounging around the property was also like heavenly for me. I think its so kind and generous for the management team to take good care of the sweet animals. If I ever come back to CR this is the first place I want to book again.

The vistas are beautiful from all areas of the hotel including the rooms. We had dinner and our server was very pleasant, knowledgable and provided exceptional service. The food was truly outstanding and we had made sure the chef was recognized. The rooms have great views, beds are comfortable with a refrigerator and satellite tv. You could not ask for more. Limited lounge seating around the beautiful pool however; not an issue to be worried about. Only downside is that one couple that blocks off the chairs and goes over to the restaurant...like they are on a cruise ship. I will definitely be staying here again and will recommend to others.

This hotel was excellent and highly recommended. We enjoyed our stay very much, the rooms were super comfortable and clean, and the views were just amazing. I loved the peaceful surroundings, the gardens and the jungle! The breakfast (included) was fantastic, with several choices. Dinner was great as well. The staff was extremely helpful, polite and super special with my elderly parents. Thank you all.

What a hidden gem! Kinda of difficult to get to but the property is beautiful and the room was very clean & we had a great view. The property is hidden and not that easily accessible to the beach but the views almost make up for it. If you like to be more secluded, this is a great option.

Great spot. Amazing views. Service and staff were excellent and helped us schedule a couple of tours during our short stay. A little secluded on the top of the mountain but town is close by and the resort has everything you need.
