We stayed here for a week and could not have been any happier with the experience. The hotel itself is magnificent, sitting on the mountainside overlooking the ocean. Despite all of the amazing things Costa Rica has to offer, you might be tempted to just spend the entire time by the pool, sipping cocktails and dining at the restaurant on... More

Scott and Russell have a real knack for making guests feel right at home and my wife, infant son and I had a great (but too short) 2 night stay. The meals were outstanding, the blended mojito was a favorite of my wife and the pool area kept our son occupied for hours (well at least 20 minutes). Staff were... More

Scott and Russell's gorgeous Villas Alturas is breathtaking. Nestled on top of a semi-secluded mountain, the views from the deck have an immediate calming effect. The idyllic jungle-meets-beach location allows you to gaze at unbelievably peaceful ocean views while listening to the chattering of birds and white-faced monkeys in nearby trees. My boyfriend and I were pleasantly surprised to walk... More

Spent just one night at Villas Alturas after spending several days further south in the Osa region. Villas Alturas is a very nice hotel, with breathtaking views of the coast and mountains. You truly feel like you have gotten away from it all when you get to the top of the hill!! The rooms are huge, with great kitchen facilities... More

We spent an amazing week at Villas Alturas, and couldn't have had a better vacation. Scott, Russell and staff were incredibly helpful during our stay, and have created a truly peaceful and friendly environment. I have a allergy to dairy, and they were accomodating with everything we ate at the restaurant (they even made me a delicious dairy-free carrot cake... More

I’ll be truthful – after a week, nothing has impressed us in Costa Rica. No sights that have left us breathless, no place that we would say “wow, I’m sorry to be leaving”. Villas Alturas, on a high hill about 10km south of Dominical, changed that. Firstly, the place is beautiful. The reception/restaurant/pool area is beautiful and the views over... More

I arrived after dark. Walking out onto the deck floating high above the ocean with a million stars piercing the sky was nothing short of magical. The whole world and everything in it felt serenely peaceful. There are a host of activities in the area for the adventuresome or the just plain curious; zip-lining, snorkeling, fishing, hiking, visiting the nature... More

What a fantastic place. Scott and Russell started at this place last year and if you don't grab one of their rooms soon it's unlikely you will get to stay there because the demand is justifiably exploding. We stayed with them for one week and it was unbelievable as you can gather from all the other reviews. We went on... More

Our family of 5 (with 3 teenish boys) loved spending Xmas week here. We celebrated Xmas morning with small gifts by the pool!! We met some wonderful people while staying there and the vibe was laid back and friendly. Feels very private and elegant - but small enough that it almost feels like you are staying at someone's house. We... More
