Amazing Villa Stay!

This villa was perfect for our family of 6. The location is stunning with an impressive view of the ocean. The path down to the beach was steep in places, but the beach was unbelievable! Beautiful sand and lots of space. The kids loved swimming there. The villa is decorated beautifully and fairly well equipped. What utensils/pans we didn't have, we were able to get at the shared outdoor kitchen. The communication with the owner was excellent and the staff handled any issues that arose promptly. Would highly recommend these villas!

Two beaches and tons of privacy

Truly close to two beaches and Villas Azul has soul-soothing views. We loved the pool for hanging out and the open air kitchen was useful.

Villas Azul was Perfect Gift

We visited the Villas Azul to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. The property is in a perfect location for anything you want to experience in Costa Rica, including adventures or pure relaxation. The views from the Villas are incredible and offer opportunities to see the ocean and wildlife. We saw a variety of birds and monkeys. The property is incredibly built, maintained, private and comfortable. We are grateful for all the considerate touches such as the food in fridge and pool area. The manager, David was incredibly responsive and courteous to our questions. Jorleny is on site and provided incredible support. In short - we loved our stay here!

Amazing Spot

The Villas Azul was perfect for our family of 4, two adults and two teenagers. From the outset, communication from the owner, David, was immediate and informative and gave us comfort about the stay. Once we arrived, the Villa was exactly as described, if not better. I don't think photos can quite capture the spectacular view. This was one of the few places we found that could offer a view, a pool, and direct access to a beach. The villa itself was comfortable, with AC in the two bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a well equipped kitchen. That said, we hardly used the kitchen because the local restaurants in Uvita and Ojochal are spectacular. There is more to do in the local area than we could fit into our 6 days so we hope to be back! Highly recommended.

Amazing location overlooking the ocean

We had a great five day stay with our family of five—two teens in the loft, my wife and me in one bedroom suite, and her mother in the other suite. Perfect setup. The view overlooking the ocean is stunning. Bellena Beach is easily accessible and was largely empty. The beaches in Uvita are not to be missed. We used Bahia Adventuras for boat tips from nearby Uvita to Corcovado National Park and snorkeling at Cano Island, which were great trips, and Uvita Surf and Sport for surf lessons. And the food in Ojochal is world class. Citrus was particularly good—went twice. The owner of the property is very responsive and generous, and the on-site staff is very helpful with laundry and other needs. Highly recommend.
