Myself and our group of eleven extended family members and friends had a fantastic stay at Vista Hermosa in August 2018.On arrival ,we were greeted by our lovely concierge Susan who guided our group through a tour of the house, highlighting it's features and security options .Susan was always available to assist anyone in our group for what ever they needed.
The six bedrooms in the main house have spectacular views of the sparkling ocean and are lovingly appointed . All of the bedrooms have the expected amenities including safes and en suite bathrooms stocked with high quality personal care items .
The mattresses were extremely comfortable , the bedding fresh and new .In fact the
entire house was very clean ,beautifully appointed and clearly well-maintained to the point of being flawless.
The grounds and the foot path to the beach are surrounded by a multitude of attractive local plantings such as red heliconia .Everywhere around you ,Costa Rica's rich and varied wildlife catches your attention ,iguanas sunning on the steps and under the gates ,toucans and other brightly colored birds perched on trees and railings ,capuchin monkeys frolicking in the trees and sprinting across the balconies .
One of the highlights of our stay were the meals prepared by the house chef Javier.
Breakfast every morning included two types of fresh fruit juices and we always remember Javier's Eggs Benedict and corn fritters as the best we ever had .Dinners
included fresh fish caught by local boats, filet mignon ,lobsters served with grilled vegetables ,fresh mashed potatoes ,fabulous desserts and the best key lime pie ever .
We found the house great for socializing with the infinity pool ,the bar area around the pool, the music system that you could control with the ipad and from every vantage point in the house ,one sees only the jungle canopy and the vast stretch of the ocean,with no other distractions from the natural beauty.
