"Our family of eight (adults) enjoyed a delightful week at this beautiful villa. Everything about Vista Encanta was near perfect: four bedrooms with great views of the Pacific, the infinity pool; indoor and outdoor dining, AC to every room, complete kitchen and bar, total privacy.Our two cars (small SUVs) took us to great ATVing with Jungle ATV in Uvita, fishing with Tropic Fins at Puerto Jiminez, surfing with Bodhi Surf in Uvita, and a tour of Manuel Antonio National Park at Quepos. All were excellent.JP, from The Private Chef, prepared, served and cleaned-up a delicious New Years Eve meal that included the tuna we caught in the week.Numerous great restaurants are within a short drive. Conveniently, the best dining was at Citrus and Heliconia, in Ojochal. Try the Bakery in Uvita for fresh baked bread and pastries, plus breakfast and lunch in huge servings!We’ll be back!"

"It is a beautiful hotel. Large room with everything functional. The lobby is nice with a beautiful pool. Incredible views both from lobby and room. But the thing that made this hotel stand out was the amazing service. I had a couple of issues because I biked there and the staff did everything they could to help me. Also, I ate at the restaurant and the food was made exactly as I asked and tasted great. Breakfast was very good. You will not be disappointed."

"The staff are all wonderful people. They made us feel right at home. The ambience was amazing, we saw and heard a ton of wildlife. The howler monkeys sure do know how to make an entrance. The gazebo by the water was tranquil and I recharged after spending time in the hammock. The food was delicious as breakfast comes with the stay. I totally recommend this place for anyone wanting to be close to things yet feel like you are far away."

"The property was wonderful. It was too wet to hike, but view was great. You definitely need a 4WD and arrive during the day as suggested."

"Fantastic. The owner and chef are the best!"

"This place was beautiful! The decor is Mediterranean/pacific island vibe that is amazing. The pool area is outstanding and the dining options around the hotel are wonderful. "

"No words can describe the beauty and peacefulness of this property. The grounds are spectacular and our room was gorgeous overlooking the ocean and sunsets. Upon our arrival we were greeted with refreshing beverages and brought to our room where we saw Toucans and Parrots . In our two day visit we saw monkeys and frogs and lots of butterflies! It was so hard to leave. The entire staff was so kind and friendly and helpful. It was the highlight of our 10day Costa Rican vacation. We will definitely return again. . "
