Definitely a 5 star stay! Leonie was an excellent host. We had a fantastic time deep sea fishing, ATV riding, and plenty of beach time. Barrigona beach was our favorite!!! Vilma made us excellent food during our stay. One of the most memorable moments was walking into the house the first time at sunset and seeing the most incredible view. It took our breath away!

This property is amazing! We enjoyed hanging out in the pool and sitting on the patio in the evenings. The kitchen had everything we could have possibly needed. We walked to the beach, visited the farmers market, and went into town several times for meals and shopping. Leonie made check in and check out very easy and had great suggestions for things to do and places to shop and eat. It was the perfect stay!

Amazing home with breathtaking view. Kitchen fully stocked. We had iguanas coming up to say hi daily. Macaws hung out in the trees and the monkeys were howling, although not as easy to spot. Kids loved the pool as I BBQ'd and drank a Pina Colada. Can't say anything bad about this place. Easy to get in and out of and easy to get into town. Loved it.

Beautiful property with breath taking views. Inconvenienced by a broken dryer that we were only told about during check in. Found mugs with lipstick on them and bed had sand in it the first night (had not used the sheets yet). The property manager was great about helping set up excursions and answering any questions we had. Loved sitting on the back patio while the storms blew in. Plenty of pots and pans to easily cook in the kitchen.

Incredible Views; Incredible Stay!

My husband and I along with another couple just spent two relaxing week in this lovely property! The ocean view over the infinity pool is one-of-a-kind! The area around the pool, which is surrounded by lovely gardens, and the covered patio lets you stay outside all day. Inside, the main areas are spacious and well laid out. Due to the steepness of the road and traffic, we ended up driving to the beach ( 3 min.) which was easy and there was always parking. More beaches are nearby and the town of Samara is filled with small, local eating places, bars, coffee places and shops.

The location and views from the property were amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We enjoyed a few activities in the local area including zip lining, ATV ride and of course the beautiful beaches in the surrounding area. The weather also turned out to be perfect with no rain 5 of 7 days during day time. Both Leonardo and Raquel were very responsive and pleasant to work with.

fabulous home in amazing place

Villa Vista is amazing. It's beautiful, well-kept, luxurious, and close to everything in Samara and Carillo. You can watch the ocean from the porch, cool off in the infinity pool, and go down to the beach by car or walking. Lots of helpful folks to figure out planning your day, and lots of on-site staff for cleaning and maintenance. It's the perfect place to relax.
