We stayed here 1 night on our way to the Osa Peninsula. It had a beautiful view from the room and the pool area. There are views to both the ocean and the valleys at the rear. Celine is a very nice host. We stayed in Room#3 which is close to the pool. The room has a queen bed and... More

We stayed at El Buena Vista for the last few days of our trip this February (just returned). We paid about $80 a night. We had stayed the first week at the Cristal Ballena for about $70+ a night. We believe El Buena Vista is a better deal. The place is lovely, convenient to all the Ojochal restaurants, with the... More

My husband & I stayed two nights at Buena Vista. The name definitely lives up to itself. Celine is very welcoming and will make your stay very welcoming. Blanca (the yellow lab) will be there to greet you. The rooms are clean & comfortable. We stayed two different nights and were in two different rooms - both had balcony views... More

On this trip I used TA reviews to choose El Buena Vista Hotel. I was impressed how it over delivered on my expectations. The sea view from room #1 was great,... More

We expend 3 nights during Easter week with my husband, my son and my father and we loved it. It is a very relaxing place, the gardens are beautiful, great view and excellent service. The managers also have a very good restaurant, Fuego, nice live music, and very good food. We will recommend this place to our friends and family

I was there at the end of December with my husband and 2 kids, the warm welcome we received form the host was overwhelming. They went out of their... More

The hotel El Buena Vista is located on top of a hill. The breeze is so refreshing.The view of the ocean on one side is breathtaking. You are surrounded... More

I stayed for 7 nights the end of March 2011 in unit #3, which is an upper corner unit. Wonderful views and striking sunsets from on top of the mountain. I am back just a few days and already missing the wonderful fresh fruit variety every morning along with Celine's special blended fresh fruit drink. From the very first day,... More
