Wonderful property sitting on the top part of the mountain. The daily cleaning and concierge service is a plus. 4x4 is a must and a regular car will not make it up the steep hill. They also offer laundry service with a small fee and it comes back same day folded neatly. We saw nearly 17 different bird species and there is a very chill iguana that hangs by the pool.

Great property

Always a pleasure to visit Santa Teresa. Villa Koa is in a great location. The property is exactly as advertised, very beautiful with a great pool. Construction wasn't overbearing at all and hardly even noticed it. One small complaint would be to add some blinds to the living room windows for a bit more privacy. Otherwise, the property is fantastic.
