Overlooking a beautiful coastline, the breath taking views bring our country to life. Villa Caletas is located in the Central Pacific coast of Costa Rica, on a jungle hilltop. From each side of the mountain, rain forests spread to the sandy, quiet beaches below. The dark, emerald green of this wild, native vegetation contrasts with the blue of the Pacific Ocean. Views of lush tropical rainforests complement some of the most breath taking sunsets you will ever see. At the bottom of the mountain, Villa Caletas offers its own private beach. more » « less

We stayed at Villa Caletas for our final 3 nights in Costa Rica and this was a mistake as it was our least favourite hotel of the three we visited. It has decent rooms and amazing views but really believes it's something it is not (if you compare it with luxury hotels in the USA). This is a fine hotel,... more

I had to take three different groups of executives to see the Central Pacific area in Costa Rica. I decided to go to Villa Caletas because I had been there before, and their prices compared to Marriott Los Suenos were far more attractive. The groups were small, each time we were 5 persons, requiring 5 separate rooms. We used the... more

We stayed at Villa Caletas on the final night of our wonderful Cosat Rican adventure. My feelings on this hotel are mixed. The hotel is beautiful, but perhaps not in keeping with a tropical setting. The pool area and ampitheater are lovely, and the views were outstanding (but no better than anywhere else we had stayed in the country). The... more

When we first arrived at Villa Caletas, it was so classy looking that I was afraid the staff would be cold and stuck up. However, that was not the case. The employees were all extremely friendly and personable, and the concierge was very helpful. The best thing about Villa Caletas? The views, of course! Since it is built on a... more

My wife and I just returned from a belated honeymoon at the incredible Villa Caletas. You arrive and are greeted with cool towels and ice tea at check in. They help you to your room with a smile and make sure you want for absolutely nothing. The restaurants are wonderful and the servers are friendly and knowledgeable. Most of the... more

Before I visited Villa Caletes and the other hotels we were going to stay at I looked up a number of review sites. I was surprised to see many disapproving reviews for Vila Caletes. Upon arrival I didn't believe a word, the rooms are stunning, the views are the best you will ever see. Having said that, the customer service... more

My stay here was the worst experience I had ever while traveling. We stayed at a villa room and placed our cash in their safe-deposit box and locked it with the key given to us. One afternoon we went to the poolside and when we returned, a total of $1,200 was missing. The maid had cleaned our room for the... more

Obviously you forgot to mention some very important details: 1)no one broke in, there were no damaged doors, windows or even the safe. There is only one key to the box and you had it all the time, as you stated in the police report. 2) There is an investigation going on. 3) You are in the rainforest, so expect...

First of all this review is long and late in coming because we had some money issues with Villa Caletas that have just now been resolved. My husband and I were married at Villa Caletas back in November and stayed a total of 3 nights. There is no denying that the grounds and view are absolutely breathtaking. Just Beautiful...

We stayed three nights at the Villa Caletas in Costa Rica mid-February 2008. We researched several hotels in the area on the web and this one was highly recommended. We booked our reservation on-line. We rented a 4x4 from Payless and drove from San Jose to Villa Caletas. The turnoff from the highway is well marked. It is a very... more

This hotel was in a beautiful location. We booked the room last minute since we were staying at the Delfin Beachfront (don't recommend it they were out of water almost our entire stay and had rude staff.) The room was supposed to be ready at 2:00 p.m. but wasn't ready until after 4:00 p.m. We didn't mind, we enjoyed the... more
