"Villas en el Bosque provided the perfect sanctuary for our family to unwind, relax, and fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of Costa Rica. The villa offered both comfort and space for our family of four. The owners were incredibly welcoming and hospitable. But what truly made this experience unforgettable was the breathtaking view. Our villa overlooked the lush forest, with a stunning glimpse of the ocean in the distance. Every morning, we enjoyed the natural spectacle right from our patio, where we were fortunate to spot Capuchin monkeys, vibrant Scarlet Macaws, lizards, and delicate hummingbirds fluttering nearby. The tranquil surroundings and exceptional hospitality made Villas en el Bosque a truly unforgettable retreat. It's a place where nature, comfort, and a sense of serenity come together to create an idyllic getaway."

"Wow! This is an amazing place! We loved it! It is very nice and cozy. The “mercadito” is near and we found many places to eat delicious meals! Also, it is very quiet and there is a pool surrounded by nature. "

"This property is amazing! We had eight adults and we were all impressed. The outdoor area is set perfectly for large groups. The views are breathtaking, and the birds that visited were incredible. We had toucans in the yard, and macaws and others fly by. The location is perfect. There aren nice restaurants and groceries very close by. I didn't want to leave. I wish we had booked this for another week. "

"This hotel is charming and lovely with 5 star rooms and dining. The bar had amazing drinks and it would be a very expensive hotel if it wasn’t directly on the highway. The views of the ocean are breathtaking but it’s literally on top of the highway so you hear and smell trucks and ambulances."

"Will come back again "

"This was a luxury stay from start to finish. The house has a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean overlooking its giant infinity pool (great for laps). You can see from Jaco beach all the way to Panama. The night sky is full of stars with zero light or sound pollution. You will sleep like a baby. The home has filtered water so you can drink from the tap or the ice maker. And the kitchen is fit for the most discriminating chefs and foodies. We didn’t leave the property for the full week. Thank you for such a fun and luxurious stay! "

"One of the most peaceful and beautiful homes we have had the pleasure of staying at. The home is beautifully decorated and has everything you need at your fingertips. The location submerges you in the beauty of Costa Rica being nestled among tropical plants and wildlife. Highly recommend! Both Andrea and Dawn were wonderful from booking to checkout.. maticulusy"

"We loved the place! We had excellent communication from both the owner and the property manager beforehand. The instructions were very clear and understandable. The watermelon and pineapple that were provided were delicious too! The pool was our favorite part of the home and a great way to cool off before bed. The beds were comfortable, the AC in the bedrooms did a great job, and the bathrooms were very nicely appointed. The Coati was by every morning to say hello and we saw a Toucan. The leaf cutter ants in the backyard were fascinating as well. We didn’t spend much time at the house as we had (too) many activities scheduled and were not able to explore the property as we wished. The entry road past the gate did require 4 wheel drive if you stop to lock the gate behind yourself. With momentum, a 2 wheel drive will likely make it up the road just fine. Our only minor complaint is that we found the concrete and cushion couch in the living room very uncomfortable. But that was an only an issue the one night we were home early."

"Quaint, rustic place, clean, well landscaped, friendly staff, very close to some very good restaurants, close to playa ventanas, it is wooden structure so quite rustic but goes well w the jungle vibes. "
