This is the perfect place to come home to each day on your adventurous Costa Rican vacation. This was our first time in Costa Rica and we had an amazing experience, mostly due to the hospitality of Tiki Villas (Kerling was our guardian angel the whole week!). Their recent renovation is spectacular and so relaxing and comfortable. As for the sights, we could see the ocean from our deck, and enjoyed views of the rainforest wildlife. Simply spectacular! Pura Vida!

The view from Tiki Villas is so beautiful, incredible pool/restaurant views in particular but also from each villa, they are all so well situated. The recent renovation is really well done with fantastic indoor/outdoor bathrooms and super comfortable beds. I think some finishing touches are still being done but I have no doubt it will be fantastic when finished. Staff are all friendly and the food is excellent - wonderful breakfast and really inventive dinner dishes.

This modern boutique hotel exceeded all our expectations. The view of the sea is absolutely breathtaking, and what truly made our stay unforgettable was the incredible wildlife—every morning and evening we were able to watch countless birds, including toucans and parrots. It felt like something out of a nature documentary. The à la carte breakfast was outstanding—fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared each day. Dinner was just as impressive, with high-quality dishes that made every evening feel special. The service was exceptional throughout our stay: attentive, friendly, and always going the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable. Overall, the hotel is beautifully maintained and incredibly stylish, with a modern design that creates a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere. We would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience.

Beautifully renovated property (it reopened in January after extensive property upgrades). The villas were beautifully designed. The views are stunning. The pool area was lovely. The restaurant is excellent, and the staff was very friendly. No major complaints whatsoever. A few minor things to improve, but not enough to give less stars (and the staff mentioned that they were still finalizing some things due to furniture shipments delayed, etc). The pool area could use a few more lounge chairs; the main lobby area could use a bit more decor (plants, more tables, pillows, etc) to fill out the space and create a more intimate feeling.

Amazing stay, truly unforgettable! Tiki Villas made us feel incredibly special as we celebrated our honeymoon. From the moment we arrived, they pulled out all the stops with flowers, thoughtful treats, and genuinely heartfelt hospitality. The entire staff went above and beyond, but Walter and Kerling deserve special recognition. They were incredible. Their recommendations were spot-on, and they helped us navigate a few unexpected challenges with ease. The accommodations were outstanding. An extremely comfortable bed, huge soaking tub, a beautiful and relaxing pool, and an overall sense of privacy and luxury that made it feel like a true escape. Breakfast each morning was phenomenal, and the food overall was excellent. And the dessert. Wow. The chocolate lava brownie, sadly discontinued, was hands-down one of the best desserts we’ve ever had. Truly unreal, and we can only hope they bring it back. We cannot recommend Tiki Villas enough. Can’t wait to come back!!
