If heaven was a place on earth, this is it. The Villa is beautiful. The views are breathtaking. Villa Costa Pura Vida was 1/4 places we stayed and was by far the best. I would absolutely recommend booking your next stay here.

I loved this property!!! It was private and well cared for. It was a beautifully designed, well thought out space. Loved the sunrises in the morning and the bird chatter all day! Private pool was so gorgeous. Had everything I needed. Owners were very accommodating. You DO need a 4 wheel drive for the drive way but once you figure it out it is easy. Will be back!!!!!

Not a place for families. Kids not welcome. Horrible communication. Noice from neighbours. Dirty swimmingpool.

Getting there is half the fun! :-) As others have said, it's up, up, up a mountain, and then down a driveway, plus a lot of steps to the unit. But if you're used to Costa Rican roads, you'll have seen worse. The view is worth it, and so is the incredible waterfall/cave shower. Very romantic for a couple. Be aware that it is TWO units on top of each other, and we were in the bottom unit, but we still had plenty of privacy, peace, and beauty. The restaurants/shops at the bottom of the hill are wonderful...we will be back.

We stayed in the Superior Villa/Villa Agalla and the view was beautiful. The property felt secluded and we enjoyed our stay. This villa does need some maintenance, but overall a wonderful week. For example, the shower floor tiles are loose and will stick to to the bottom of your feet. We couldn't use the grill because it is charcoal but the bottom is burned out of it. There is no air conditioned common space, it is all open air. However, the bedrooms are air conditioned for a good nights sleep. If we return to the same area, we would definitely stay here again.

Spectacular … if you book this place it will spoil you for the rest of your trip. Private pool was amazing, outdoor kitchen was great for entertaining or simply to enjoy a home cooked meal. Many species of birds were seen on a daily basis - the beat being a dorante of toucans!! Thank you for the wonderful accommodations and view.
