We could not have picked a better house to stay for our company trip! We had the most amazing time! The house was absolutely AMAZING!!! The views were spectacular day & night!!! The bedrooms were so amazing and so much room for all of us to spread out. All the amenities were awesome!The concierge service was so awesome and took care of all our adventures. We did not have to worry about anything, we just had to have ourselves ready for pick up!The pool and spa were awesome with amazing views while enjoying the water!The wildlife at the house was so awesome!!! Macaws every morning were right there at the pool eating the almonds out of the tree. The highlight was the monkeys!! We fed them out of our hands every evening before sunset. It was incredible!I cannot say enough about Carlos, Gina and Tatiana!!! They took such great care of us all! They are so kind, attentive and awesome!!! They were a definite highlight to our trip!! We LOVED them!!!!I highly recommend Casa Bella Vista! It was the BEST!!!!!

Oh my goodness, what a wonderful experience!!! 5 ladies shared this property and didn't want to leave! Carlos, Gina and Tatiana were like family and we didn't want for anything!!! The house is AMAZING! Beautiful views from all angles. Hot tub, pool, seeing macaws fly overhead and meeting a family of monkeys up close ... while on the property was incredible! We really hope we can come back here because we miss it so much! The only thing to be aware of is from the entrance of the resort/development to the home is about 20 minutes of bumpy / windy roads. We decided to not have a car of any type due to the challenging driving, but that was no problem! We hired a driver for the day we wanted to explore the beach and Jaco and it was reasonable. We felt SAFE and PAMPERED the entire time! They arranged tours, transportation, food ... anything we desired. It was wonderful learning about the PURA VIDA way of life. It was a 10 out of 10 experience and would HIGHLY recommend!!!!

The perfect spring break vacation
We spent a week at this beautiful property mid March 2025 for our kids spring break and it was perfection. We enjoyed each and every day we spent here and we thank the entire team who made it possible (Debbie, Kristal and Jairo, Carlos, Gina and Neyali). We used this as home base and did excursions most days (fishing, zip line, atv, massages at the house, sunset cruise) and reserved the afternoons and evenings for beach, pool and relaxation. This schedule worked out really well for our crew. Our youngest (13) really struggled with the long car rides and curvy roads so we cancelled several excursions that were further away and the team was wonderful about it. The house is amazing, views I can’t explain in words, just pure beauty. My only complaint was the condition of the 2 golf carts that we rented through the hotel. We had to switch them both out several times for a different cart due to them not starting at random places leaving us stranded or the lights not working at night trying to get back up to the house (which was scary) but overall we are happy that we had rented them because the walk to the beach or hotel is far too long without a vehicle. We made it work but the customer service was not the best. Carlos and team were amazing, so warm and friendly and helpful. And their cooking was delicious ! We would 100% stay here again and we are so thankful that we found this beautiful slice of paradise. Thank you for sharing with us!

what a view!
A beautiful location with a view that went on and on. The staff were fun and the meals were good. Our only problem was trying to locate the home at night in the rain. We needed a more specific map or directions. The street signs were hard to read at night and it would have been helpful to have directions like - "at the circle take the first exit" Go through two additional street security posts. Also - it was really difficult to find the hotel Concierge to get the wrist bands. More specific directions would have helped.The grandkids loved watching the monkeys!

A slice of Heaven
There were nine of us and we came to celebrate three retirements and a 70th birthday. This is by far one of the best places we've stayed at. There is absolutely nothing that could have made our stay any better. Working with Debbie, Jairo and Kristal on transportation, tours and golf cart rental helped make our stay stress free. They setup a tour to the adventure park where we rented nine ATV's. We drove over several riverbeds and into the jungle to a couple of waterfalls which we swam in to cool down. Very refreshing. The trip to Manuel Antonio National Park was amazing and full of wildlife. Punta Leona beach club has a beautiful white sandy beach and is a great place to spend the day. The monkeys at the beach were quit entertaining.
The best part of our stay was Carlos, Gina and Nayeli. They are the most wonderful, gracious loveable people you'd ever want to meet. The fresh fruit and coffee ready every morning followed up with some amazing lunches and dinners were fantastic. No one in our group spoke Spanish so our son downloaded a translator Ap so that we could better communicate With each other. We had lots of laughs, and they slowly became part of our family as we also became part of theirs. We asked them to eat with us a few times and on one occasion Gina was asked if she wanted to say a prayer before lunch that day as she did. There were a few tears. They put up banners for my 70th BD and made me a pineapple upside down cake. They are awesome people.

Perfecto!
Our family of 10, 6 adults, 4 children ages 6-9, loved our stay at Casa Bella Vista. It was a great place to relax, swim, and enjoy wonderful family meals thanks to the wonderful house staff who accommodated are various needs and excellent cooking. And it was a great springboard to Jaca surfing, catamaran to Tortuga Island, Crocodile Safari, and the Punta Leona Beach Club Playa Blanca and other amenities. We were happy to have our own rental vehicles to spontaneously get from one place to another, especially to get to and from the local beach which would have been quite a downhill and uphill hike. Loved it!

This property was more beautiful in person than online. We all enjoyed the entire experience from the property managers (Debbie, Jairo, and Kristal) making sure that we were fully accommodated from the airport up until we boarded the plane to go back home.
The group could not have survived without Carlos, Gina and Nayeli preparing all of our delicious meals. They definitely
make this property top tier while making all of us feel like family.
Jairo and Kristal setup relaxing massages for all 8 of us at the house. We were so relaxed/refreshed afterwards that we did not leave the property that day.

I took my whole family and had a blast. Carlo, Gina, and Nyelli were wonderful hosts. We did the meal plan and the food was excellent.We saw Mcaws, Parots, monkeys and all kinds of cool stuff. The private beach was nice as well.I would highly recommend this as a getaway for a family of ten or less, or it would be perfect for 4 couples, or a group of guys fishing. Los Suenos and herradura are 1/2 hour drive.
