Hotel Villa Caletas

The Restaurant is very expensive, the gardens requiered maintenance in general, only 1 little pool for all guest. In general, is a very relax place, but it not all good experience

The views are absolutely breathtaking, easily the standout feature of the property. Whether you’re overlooking the ocean at sunset or walking through the grounds, the scenery is stunning. The property itself is beautifully maintained, with lush landscaping that really adds to the overall experience. Most of the staff around the hotel were warm, welcoming, and very helpful, which made navigating the property and enjoying the amenities easy. That said, the dining experience fell short. The restaurant staff were not as friendly, and the service felt subpar compared to the rest of the hotel. The menu lacked variety, and it felt like there were very limited options—almost like you were stuck eating the same meals repeatedly. Unfortunately, the food itself didn’t stand out either. Because the hotel is quite secluded, you don’t have many alternatives unless you’re willing to travel about 30 minutes into town, which can be inconvenient if you’re relying on the on-site dining. On a positive note, the private beach was a nice feature and a great place to relax and unwind. Overall, Villa Caletas offers incredible views and a beautiful, peaceful setting, but improvements to the restaurant experience and menu variety would make a big difference.

Excelente hotel

Pleasantly surprised given the negative reviews. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great reception and concierge, very helpful. Despite what some people say the restaurant served high quality food for both breakfast and dinner. The service was quick and attentive without being too on your face. Every member of staff we met were friendly. Our room no 2 was well positioned for the pool, bar and restaurant. The icing on the cake are the views which are spectacular. Easily the best hotel of our Costa Rica tour.

Mixed feelings about the resort. We are in our mid-50’s and in normal shape. Our room was a villa, #27. It was the third from last furthest from pool/restaurant area, and it was 100% uphill climb when leaving our room / or downhill when going to the room. It was 50 stairs and 360 paces/strides, again uphill. However, the walk was covered by a roof or vegetation most of the time if it would rain and the path. It was aggregate and stone and was beautiful. There is one restaurant and impossible to get a reservation once we arrived, so make them weeks in advance of arriving! I think a lot of this is due to other people not staying at the resort that come for the sunset or view. For example, could not get a reservation till 8:30PM but since the sunset was bad that night no one showed up so we were able to get a table last minute. When there is a gorgeous sunset it took us 45 min to get a cocktail to see the sunset. Horrible for those of us staying there! We should have a priority over others. Food was great! Saw some wildlife but was expecting more. Macaws would fly by but fairly far away. Monkey at pool tree twice at 2:00. Ask front desk to take you on a cart ride to see where Macaws nests are so you can walk there other days to see. Pool was nice but no rafts allowed and got crowded when kids were there. But not crowded most of the time. Spa was wonderful. One Uber drivers car was not the best and he had some issues on the steep road getting to the place.
