“Great Service”
My friend and I enjoyed our stay at Hotel Villa Caletas. We both agree we will return. The entire staff was wonderful. I will say I would probably plan on eating in Jaco instead of at the restaurant. We had two expensive dinners at the Amphitheater Restaurant which were both underwhelming. Although the wait staff was superb, I just can't recommend the overpriced food and wine. All wines by the glass were of a very lesser quality than I would expect for the prices and atmosphere. The bottles were more overpriced than at other comparable hotels. So... we will be bringing our own wine and making the trek to Jaco for meals. We were not blessed with great sunsets (we are in the rainy season) but the room and private patio was remarkable.
“Could not believe living in the jungle could be so beautiful yet comfortable.”
Beutiful vista with excellent accomodations, great food and impressive service.
“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.
