Vista de Olas is an amazing place. There is no place I'd rather be in Mal Pais/Santa Teresa than chilling by their pool with the most beautiful view of the coast. The owner and staff were extremely friendly and eager to help with any question I had. They helped with everything from ice cold Imperials at the swim up bar... More

This place was amazing!!! I luckily saw this place in Groupon, and it was amazing!!! We looked at all the reviews on here and it helped me finalize our decision to go here. Mostly honeymooners and couples out there. Easy to meet other people to hang and party with. This place seems to be a local hot spot too, every... More

This had to be one of the most relaxing chill vacations I have ever taken. My wife and I went with another couple and were more than impressed with the views, food, service and excursions. Roger was so accommodating making our whole stay as convenient, fun and relaxing as possible. During our trip my wife and I did three excursions... More

I feel like I would just be repeating what everyone else is saying. There's a reason this property is lined with excellent reviews. I think "mpmc414" hit it right on the head, and I couldn't agree with her review more. This place was amazing and a very pleasant surprise. My wife and I originally thought the property was "beachfront" but... More

The Hotel Vista de Olas is a beautiful, well-run, intimate hotel. The entire property is 5 large, private villas and a common area overlooking the ocean. The pool is larger than it looks in the pictures. The common area is a bar/restaurant under a thatched roof and right next to a swim-up bar. I would recommend this place to everyone,... More

Vista de Olas is off the beaten path--it takes a little extra effort to get there, but it is well worth it. Yes, it is a little more difficult to get to--but isn't that part of the adventure? Yes, the driveway is really steep and you do need a 4x4 to get up the incline. Yes, the dry season in... More

My husband and I stayed at Vista De Olas during our honeymoon had an absolute blast! Roger (the owner), his family and the rest of the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. You start to feel like family in no time! Upon arrival, Roger sat down with us to discuss any activities we were interested in and took care of... More

Myself and my new fiance had the pleasure of going to vista de olas and let me tell you, it was the time of our lives. The only negative to staying here for us was the fact that we had to leave, and also that the bar is set so high for future trips. I wanted the experience of a... More
