The Restaurant is very expensive, the gardens requiered maintenance in general, only 1 little pool for all guest. In general, is a very relax place, but it not all good experience

Amazing staff, beautifully, maintained grounds, delicious food, and each room is so uniquely curated to give you region specific vibes. Loved it!

The views are absolutely breathtaking, easily the standout feature of the property. Whether you’re overlooking the ocean at sunset or walking through the grounds, the scenery is stunning. The property itself is beautifully maintained, with lush landscaping that really adds to the overall experience. Most of the staff around the hotel were warm, welcoming, and very helpful, which made navigating the property and enjoying the amenities easy. That said, the dining experience fell short. The restaurant staff were not as friendly, and the service felt subpar compared to the rest of the hotel. The menu lacked variety, and it felt like there were very limited options—almost like you were stuck eating the same meals repeatedly. Unfortunately, the food itself didn’t stand out either. Because the hotel is quite secluded, you don’t have many alternatives unless you’re willing to travel about 30 minutes into town, which can be inconvenient if you’re relying on the on-site dining. On a positive note, the private beach was a nice feature and a great place to relax and unwind. Overall, Villa Caletas offers incredible views and a beautiful, peaceful setting, but improvements to the restaurant experience and menu variety would make a big difference.

Sehr sauberes Zimmer, freundlich und hilfsbereites Personal, toller Pool mit Meerblick

Excelente hotel

Pleasantly surprised given the negative reviews. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great reception and concierge, very helpful. Despite what some people say the restaurant served high quality food for both breakfast and dinner. The service was quick and attentive without being too on your face. Every member of staff we met were friendly. Our room no 2 was well positioned for the pool, bar and restaurant. The icing on the cake are the views which are spectacular. Easily the best hotel of our Costa Rica tour.

Mixed feelings about the resort. We are in our mid-50’s and in normal shape. Our room was a villa, #27. It was the third from last furthest from pool/restaurant area, and it was 100% uphill climb when leaving our room / or downhill when going to the room. It was 50 stairs and 360 paces/strides, again uphill. However, the walk was covered by a roof or vegetation most of the time if it would rain and the path. It was aggregate and stone and was beautiful. There is one restaurant and impossible to get a reservation once we arrived, so make them weeks in advance of arriving! I think a lot of this is due to other people not staying at the resort that come for the sunset or view. For example, could not get a reservation till 8:30PM but since the sunset was bad that night no one showed up so we were able to get a table last minute. When there is a gorgeous sunset it took us 45 min to get a cocktail to see the sunset. Horrible for those of us staying there! We should have a priority over others. Food was great! Saw some wildlife but was expecting more. Macaws would fly by but fairly far away. Monkey at pool tree twice at 2:00. Ask front desk to take you on a cart ride to see where Macaws nests are so you can walk there other days to see. Pool was nice but no rafts allowed and got crowded when kids were there. But not crowded most of the time. Spa was wonderful. One Uber drivers car was not the best and he had some issues on the steep road getting to the place.

All was wonderful as usual 🙏

Amazing and forgetful

Everything was perfect.

The property is gorgeous, the views are amazing. But: Our sheets had a red stain, it seems like blood. The restaurant is way too expensive, and I'm not saying this blindly, you can tell the food quality is below average. (We are locals, we know what you can buy and how much it costs). We got bread during our lunch, they gave us toasts, and clearly from the day before or who knows when. We order a hamburger and a pita, the bread wasn't totally fresh. The oil used for the French fries was cheap smelly oil, a nightmare for the stomach. We got sick. We order a couple of Aperol Spritz (priced at $24 each, not even in Europe), the proportions and the mix were totally wrong, it was almost all prosecco and was missing enough Aperol. I know this because I make my own drinks, and my best friend is freaking good at it, so we've been studying the recipe for over a year. When I told the waiter about it, he asked me what's wrong, I tried to explain, and when I told him it wasn't properly mixed, he replied back, saying that was normal because of the liquor density... I came out rude saying I wasn't going to argue with him about how to do it, that we wanted a new drink. He insisted on knowing what was wrong or he was going to be charged for it. So that tells me that restaurant is poorly managed, I told him if that was the case then I'll pay them, but he said it was fine, that he already talked to his boss. The restaurant killed it for us, not planning on going back.

Clean room -Ocean view Splendid hotel

The rooms are pretty dirty and old. But outside of that, everything else on the property is beautiful.
