We were coming here thinking that we were coming to an overall nice hotel. It looks very good at first impression. But its terrible. The staff is nowhere to be seen. The hotel is pretty far away from the city and you need a cab to get downtown. The problem is that the staff is nowhere to be seen, so... More

Stayed for 1 week. Excellant house and view. Angie and Alan helped with everything from tours, things to do, everything. It had wonderfull views to wake up to. Overlooks the town of Playas Del Coco and the bay, with 3 volcanoes in the background. We had 6 year olds up to 70. Fun for all. We will be back.

I brought a voucher from bloomspot for 4 nights at this hotel and after some mix-up, my best friend and I were finally picked-up from the airport. After almost a whole day flying, we were upset about the mix-up, but things got better. Bonnie was very sweet and gave us juice and left over breakfast because we were so hungry... More

I'm certain that Vista Azul is the best hotel in the area. Stunning view from any where in the hotel. Fabulous staff including the cook! They know all the "out of the way"places including restaurants, German bakeries, art galleries, rental cars, water falls, and soooo much more that the average tourist would never find. No reason to stay in town... More

We just spent 5 wonderful days at Casa Vista Azul in Costa Rica. Bonnie, Jason and Samantha were simply wonderful and made our visit so very enjoyable. From the heart felt welcome, to the morning breakfasts on the balcony and the help finding restaurants and beaches to explore. Of course I can't forget Oscar (the brother of Jason and area... More

We are a family of three and stayed at the hotel recently for four nights. The price was right, the rooms very good and the manager, Mariano, was superb, accommodating our every need, including breakfast any time we wanted it. We looked at other hotels in the area and this one was clearly the best, all things considered.

It was beautiful and we felt as if we owned the place. We were greeted by the current hotel managers Andy and Chris, cute couple. They showed us around the hotel once we arrived. From every level you can see the beautiful view of the bay and the downtown area of Playa del Coco. On the top floor you can... More

This boutique hotel is certainly special. You can see the beautiful ocean from every room and the rooftop terrace was a wonderful place to view the colorful sunsets. There is also refreshing infinity pool. Everything about this hotel was enjoyable, the tasty breakfasts, friendly, helpful staff, everything.
