Great stay!

The place was great for our family. We were 6 adults and 2 kids. The common rooms were spacious and the bedrooms were comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped with anything you might need to cook any meal. The appliances (dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, fridge, outside grill, griddle) seemed new and worked well. The views from the balcony and from the private pool were amazing. The outside garden was lovely and there were hummingbirds around all day. It was a very short walk to the larger pool. The beach was a short drive or a longish walk up and down a hill, but it was a great beach, calm and good for swimming. Overall it was a great stay!

HUGE patio—a perfect spot for coffee in the morning or dining in the evening.

Summer adventure

What an amazing place to wake up to each morning with the sounds of the ocean and the chatter of birds and monkeys-and even better to return to each day after a day of excursions to relax by the pool, with a unique cocktail made from Costa Rica’s fresheat fruits or just relax in the villa, which was gorgeous and dully stocked with everything you would need to stay in and unwind. Cesar, the concierge, was so accommodating and friendly and arranged all of our excursions, day trips and evening massages. We will definitely be back and with even more friends next time so they can enjoy the experience as much as we did!

5 Stars without Exception!!

Our family of 13 spent a week at Villa Preciosa to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary. Grandparents, kids, and grandkids (6 between the ages of 7 and 14). The villa lives up to everything that you see on the site and incredibly the staff is even better!! They are super people that cater to your every need, which can be a challenge when addressing the preferences of kids. Jimmy covers all of the bases: bartender, smoothie maker (kids favorite), driver, entertainer with an incredible, contagious personality. Jose the chef assisted by Guadalupe, is a fantastic cook! All of the meals were great! The housekeepers also kept the place immaculate! Carlos, the owner, made frequent visits to the villa to make sure that any of our needs were met. While we were there, we also made use of one of his boats which can be chartered. A snorkeling/beach activity trip followed up by a fishing charter were great! The captain and staff were super, helping the kids, always at the ready, whether fitting snorkel gear or helping with the fishing. While at the villa, you should make use of Lupita. She was fantastic, arranging for any local, and not so local activities (river falls hike, rain forest hanging bridges, coffee tour, zip lining). She has a great staff of drivers, comfortable and clean vans/buses and tour guides that made our trip over the top. Our visit truly fulfilled the meaning of the Pura Vida!!
