If you’re looking for ocean view privacy and a thriving local town within close proximity, book Vista Del Alma! Their breakfast menu is incredible, food and drinks are made from scratch, and each villa offers maximum privacy. Staff are extremely accommodating; the team helped my husband and I book transportation to/from the airport, renting an ATV, and listing local hotspots and restaurants to try. Tip: book a villa with a pool; you won’t be disappointed!

What a beautiful place! The view from our room was amazing, private view to the ocean. The room is super spacious, private and clean. One day I stayed in the hotel just to enjoy its beauty of the place. Its on top of the hill, and the way up is quite steep, so for sure you need a car to get there and down.

The hotel was outstanding—especially the view, which was absolutely breathtaking. The interior design is very modern and stylish, creating a comfortable and upscale atmosphere. The breakfast was good, with a solid variety of options. One of the highlights was definitely the heated pool on the terrace—it was fantastic and made the stay even more memorable. Even though the hotel is wonderful, the price is still quite high.

When we arrived we were given a tour of the room and resort which ended with a welcome drink at the bar. Everything was even more beautiful than the pictures. When the door was opened to the room, just wow, was all I could say. Our stay was great. The breakfasts were very good-we opted to include those in our reservation-and ate at our villa every morning. I would stay here again and highly recommend to others!

Beautiful property and beautiful room! Very clean. Staff was great and it was wonderful getting breakfast served in our room every morning! Would definitely stay again. The only reason I didn’t give the property a full 5 star rating is because of something really minor, one morning during our breakfast delivery it came much earlier than we asked and the order was wrong, when the staff arrived he acknowledged all of this during delivery but given how expensive this property is and that breakfast costs extra this mistake should have just been resolved on its own by the staff before delivery.

Incredible stay! Didn’t want to leave

Incredible stay! Loved the amethyst villa with hot tub. Gorgeous view. Everything clean and comfortable. Thankful for the 4x4 warning so we were prepared with the correct vehicle. Staff were super friendly although a bit disorganized and took weeks to respond to inquiries before we arrived, and after we arrived messaging us the same questions from two phones, just felt not on par with the quality and price of everything else. Still everything was wonderful!

Just lovely. This is exactly the place to completely relax. Truly the only thing I would request is more hooks in the room for various bathing suits, robes, towels, etc. It was the romantic escape we needed. Bed was firm and wonderful. Shower was a delight. Plunge pool was amazing. View was spectacular. Would visit again — also, the orange cat that roams the property is the best cat. I love him and would go back just to hang out with him.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. After a 20+ hour travel day, we arrived exhausted and unfortunately encountered a bug issue on our first night. What impressed us most wasn’t the problem itself, but how the staff handled it. They immediately took our concerns seriously and, without us even asking, upgraded us to their best villa, which was significantly nicer and more expensive than our original booking. From that point on, the team went above and beyond to make us comfortable. They regularly checked on us, treated the room multiple times, provided extra towels for the doors, and did everything possible to make us feel safe and welcome. The hospitality throughout our stay was exceptional. The staff helped arrange tours, excursions, transportation, shuttle services, and even connected us with a reliable taxi driver. Everyone was friendly, personable, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great experience. A special thank you to Cynthia and Shami, who were incredibly helpful before and during our stay. They answered questions, helped us prepare for the trip, and were always available when we needed assistance. They even had breakfast ready early for us on mornings when our excursions started before breakfast service officially opened. What could have been a rough start turned into an amazing stay because of the kindness, professionalism, and dedication of the staff. We left feeling cared for and would happily stay here again.

Amazing views and the terrace with the jacuzzi is absolutely worth it. Daily cleaning with fresh towels, coffee/tea refills, and everything left spotless. The bed was super big and very comfortable. They even left us a complimentary bottle of wine. The reception staff were incredibly kind and helpful, both via WhatsApp and in person. The road is steep but manageable with an SUV (no 4x4 needed), and walking takes just 7–10 minutes. We loved that it’s away from the busy center—much more peaceful and the views are way better. Only downside: the kitchen is minimally equipped (just two glasses, two plates, one pan), and lacks basics like salt or oil. Also, most of the fridge space is taken by minibar items (for purchase). Still, we highly recommend it!

I don't think the pictures does justice to what this place actually is. One of the most incredible views. To begin with the level of communication this place gives, you are chatting with the front desk before you even arrive to Costa Rica. Any questions you have, they'll answer. Upon arriving, they give you a little tour of the resort which when you arrive to your villa, your bags are already there. The first thing you have to do as you walk into your room is pick your mouth up from the floor. This place is absolutely stunning. Warning for travelers coming to Santa Teresa and/or Costa Rica in general: Rent an SUV 4x4 to transport around. The roads are not great. This resort as many things in Costa Rica sit on a very steep hill. We saw people walking down the hill to get the town but we decided to drive. The place is very safe & everyone is very friendly. Just book the place.

Beautiful spot, high up on the hills above Santa Terresa but we wouldn't come back. Its at the top of the steepest and most difficult hill I've ever driven up. I'm an very experienced driver, used to driving in Mexico, Greece and Costa Rico, but I didn't want to drive up and down those hills particularly at night. It becomes a constant worry when you go into town so you end up being "trapped" in he place. There's also no way of walking to the place. You really do need a 4 wheel drive or ATV to get here. The property is interesting but needs a lot of maintenance, its a few years old and showing signs of wear and tear from the tough environment. You do get to see lots of wildlife being at tree level, we had a pool which was "watering hole" for the local Racoon and Coatimundi population, which was great. One thing that does need to be changed is the stocking of the refrigerator. If a place has a full kitchen in the unit which ours did, it shouldn't be filled with "stuff" you are trying to sell to your guests ! For the $800 per night cost it would be nice to provide free bottled water everyday. I know there's a filtration system for the tap water but guests don't know how well that's maintained, not worth the risk. We did enjoy seeing the place and the wildlife, it just needs some work to justify the cost.
