Villa Dulce Vida
We vacationed at Villa Dulce Vida with 8 adults. Everything from the booking, planning and duration of the visit was perfect. Alex assisted with planning all excursions prior to arriving and presented an itinerary that included every activity we desired. Once we arrived at the house we were greeted by Gerry, who ensured every activity was perfectly executed. We appreciated Gerrys input and responsiveness to all our needs and requests. He really made the stay special. I completely recommend booking this villa for a relaxing accommodation, breath taking views and the most friendly people. Pura Vida!

This house is exceptional and so is Alex, the property manager; Ofelia the cook that we used for most dinners and the private chef, Paolo, that we splurged on for the last night. I’d highly recommend to anyone else coming to Costa Rica.

Fantastic Family Vacation
We had a wonderful time at the villa. Very spacious rooms, unique design and absolutely killer views. It absolutely necessary to have at least one car (depending on how many are in your party) to run down the hill for shopping, restaurants, the Club or visit nearby beaches. The weather was perfect, the villa gets nice breezes and the patio is in the shade most of the day. Nearby favorite beaches for us were Playa Hermosa and Playa Ocotal. We also enjoyed a Trimaran cruise (arranged by house manager Alex) with snorkeling. Our college age kids did a group day trip to the Rincon Volcano area with activities at a resort there and loved it! This was our 2nd time in Costa Rica and we will definitely be coming back.

Wonderful stay!
We had such a wonderful stay, the house is absolutely stunning with breathtaking views. All the appliances and cookware are good quality, the house was exceptionally clean and we loved it! Alex and Gerry were wonderful, they arranged transfers for us, restaurant reservations and for the traditional chef to cook for us a couple of nights. They were just whatsapp away, and we messaged frequently with questions and they were always so responsive and helpful I would highly recommend Ofelia, the chef who prepares traditional costa rican food. It was delicious and such a treat not to have to worry about cooking or buying groceries. The area is great, we walked into Coco a few times (although I would recommend a car as there are some steep hills to navigate). We also used the Club at Coco Bay almost daily as it had a huge pool and drinks/snack service as well as a gym and tennis courts. All in all it was a wonderful trip and I highly recommend choosing this villa for your stay.

Home second to none.
This was a beautiful home and lived up to our expectations. What made our stay especially good was Alex and his team. This rental was by far our best experience with timely responses. From arranging a chef to helping us with excursions to arranging transport to and from the airport. Truly a 5 star experience.

The BEST first out of the country experience EVER
I had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful property for my Birthday trip! The property is beautiful and the view is amazing. The property was very clean and well kept and there was nothing that we needed that we didn't already have in the home. We were blessed to have two wonderful ladies make our meals during our stay and the food was delicious! Now! Gerry, Alex, and Sandy were absolutely amazing. They were always responsive and there to answer any questions we had. Alex help set up an itinerary before we arrived including transportation for our entire stay and everything happened as planned with no issues.I even arranged for Birthday decorations to be set up while we were out and the team made sure everything happened with no issues. We unfortunately had an accident while in Costa Rica that landed my Husband in the ER and these wonderful humans checked on us multiple times including Gerry coming at 7am just to take me to the pharmacy! Sandy even followed up AFTER our stay to check on my husband and send well wishes! There hospitality and kindness is something I will never forget. This was hands down the best vacation I have had with ZERO complaints every person we came in contact with was a pleasure. I cant wait to come back and stay with them again. I can go on and on with all the wonderful things about this property and the people that run it. DONT THINK JUST BOOK!

Unsurpassed and Impressive
The property was great! The home is new, and has many unique features from a design standpoint. Everything worked well in the house. The location is excellent, with unsurpassed views of Coco Bay. The home is in a very secure (gated and guarded) community within a few minutes drive to the center of town (Coco Beach). Communication and local property management was very accessible and helpful if needed. Overall, I would highly recommend a stay at this lovely, and impressive home. It would be difficult to find anything superior to this property, in this area.

Beautiful house overlooking Playa Ocotol bay and Playa del Coco bay. Alex and Gerry were so helpful and friendly arranging transportation, cooking and history lessons about the area. We were very fortunate to see howler monkeys almost everyday, not a usual occurrence. One of our best vacations.

Overall Amazing!
After a 7 day long sailing cruise down the coast of Costa Rica, 3 couples rented this beautiful property for some R&R. Overall the house and its surroundings were perfect for this kind of stay. Waking up every day with the amazing breathtaking view alone made us give this property a 5 star rating. However despite the views, the incredibly responsive, kind and knowledgeable house managers (Alex and Gerry), and the uniquely beautiful architecture of the house, there were a few things that could have been improved or future guests should be made aware of for their stays. See notes below: * the house is in a community with lots of new home construction right down the road, be careful when driving * the incline to get to the house is VERY steep, you will need a 4-wheel drive vehicle including the steep driveway into the garage for parking with no guardrails in front of this driveway facing the cliff side. * the house was minimally stocked with some essentials like paper towels and we had to ask for kitchen towels that we could use, but Gerry promptly provided them. We actually bought a lighter for the house to use for the scented candles that were provided as well. * there was a foul smell in the garbage disposal upon arrival that never really dissipated after Gerry came by to fix it * we had the electricity go out several times due to the construction and high winds which one day effected the pump that brought the water up the hill, so we were without water for half a day. It was resolved and Gerry and Alex were very responsive on it and apologetic. * Be aware that you are near lots of wildlife, some of which may try and come into the home. We saw large spiders indoors and scorpions and fer-de-lance poisonous snakes on our patio, so WEAR SHOES and don't play with the animals. We did see monkeys in the trees near the house one day, AMAZING. * the pool is NOT heated, and given the sun's direction, gets very shady and cold in the afternoon *Be sure to shoo away the Buzzards that like to stop for a drink in the pool, they make a mess with their droppings in the pool otherwise * the elevator bay has a slight gas smell, don't think it is a concern, just pointing it out * the water pressure in the master bedroom shower is not ideal and when both showerheads are going, only one has hot water and the water pressure decreases more Other than these minor adjustments, the house is A++

The short version here is that you’re going to love your stay! Just look at the pictures and then remind yourself that they don’t do the view or the place justice. Yep, you’re going to have that amazing view and those amenities while staying in Costa Rica where you can have as much adventure or down time as you want. We had a mix of both. Plus, the team of Gerry and Alex will make sure you have everything you need for your stay. They’re excellent communicators and always available. You honestly can’t go wrong and don’t need to be stressed or worried about your stay. I know our family will be back!

This property is everything the pictures show and more! The interior is beautiful and the views breathtaking. But what made our family Christmas so special was the people. The house managers Gerry and Alex are wonderful human beings! They made sure we had everything we needed at all times. We even made Gerry join us for dinner! Giselle and Anita cooked absolutely delicious meals for our group of 8 and spent time just visiting with us which we really enjoyed. By the end of our trip we were all taking selfish together! We also loved the town and wandered for hours, ate at the local soda multiple times and chatted with the locals. I highly recommend as it is truly magical!

Home is better than photos
This property was immaculate and much better in person than the photos. You could see the detail and creativity that went into constructing and designing this home. Everything that you needed was there in the home. My family was extremely helpful that I chose this home for our vacation and we had the best time ever in Costa Rica. If you are thinking about renting this property, don't think twice-just do it. The GAT representatives, Alex and Gerry were super responsive and very helpful. Because of them, we have decided to purchase a home in this development. Let me tell you, these two went way beyond our expectations and made our trip very memorable.

We has a wonderful stay. Place is better than pictures can present. Alex and Gerry were great - setting up rides anytime we needed, setting up excursions, chef, etc.- did their best to make it the best experience possible. Chef Anita won our hearts with her kind spirit and wonderful cooking skills and Gabby was gracious to fill in for her the first day. Also, excellent meals. The drivers we had: Jonny, Jose and Edgar were very respectful of us and our time and were fun to be around. Everyone went out of their way to make sure we had a great stay.

Fantastic 50 Birthday Celebration
Alex started planning out our every need 2 months before we arrived He was very pleasant and professional! His favorite saying is we will do everything we can that is legal to make you have an amazing vacation! Alex and Gerry did just that and more! We never had to worry about transportation or how to get to our excursions… they had it all planned out and were always on schedule even if we weren’t 😂! Anita was a pleasure to see each morning she made us a delicious breakfast and an amazing surprise birthday feast! Everyone with GAT Tours were extremely Top Notch. We booked the catamaran, mega tour, beach tour, ATV and Crocodile excursion. We enjoyed them All. We especially loved Carlos our tour guide for a couple of our excursions, he is super knowledgeable about Costa Rica’s wildlife and nature.

Amazing Stay!
Beautiful house and view! Even better than the pictures. Our group of 10 had an amazing time and there was plenty of space for all of us. The property is very modern with lots of relaxation/entertainment areas available (and the sound system throughout the house is great) so it’s very pleasant to spend time just in the house itself. The location is a little out of the way so unless you rent a car, you’ll need to plan for car transfers for any activities/errands (which can be done through the host). The surrounding area is also being developed so there may be some construction taking place nearby but we weren’t really bothered by it. It was very easy to communicate with the hosts/property managers through Whatsapp and they were very helpful and responsive. We went with the option to have a local cook named Anita with us for most of our stay and she was incredible! Highly recommend having her for your stay – her food was delicious and she was very friendly and accommodating. Overall, we loved our stay and definitely recommend it for others!
