“More then we expected – what more could there be!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

Adventure, beauty, romance, and did I say adventure? We saw the pictures online... they don’t give credit where credit is due! This resort is BEAUTIFUL!!! The service was AMAZING!!! The gardens are lush. The wildlife is abundant. Our villa on the beach... SPECTACULAR!!! The staff is very friendly and helpful and Lucrecia and Josefina are very good at what they do, customer service. It was a huge convenience having someone always available and close-by who could provide excursions and rentals. We are a family of 5 (3 kids under 12) and somehow still found time for one night a romantic dinner just the two of us and a walk back home down a star lit beach. There was more than enough here to entertain everyone. We were very close to all the other beaches and multiple shopping areas. We would stay here again! Santa Teresa is a secluded, very natural and beautiful beach, all of which made our stay even better. Our kids want to go right back, we’re planning August, thanks everyone at Red Palm Villas - Pura Vida!!!

“#1 Family Vacation of our life!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 2, 2013

Everything you read amazing about this place is TRUE! We brought our family of 7 and stayed in two of the beach front villas. It was wonderful for everyone from great grandma who loved sitting on the patio and watching the whales spout, to our 3 year old grandson who played for hours in the pool next door and tide pools out front. Everyone enjoyed the luxury accommodations, the tours, restaurants and the perfect beach we were on.
We saved a ton by cooking a lot of our own food in the kitchens provided. The breakfast offered was fantastic and very good, not anything you would ever expect, it really is gourmet like everyone says.
It was a 5-minute walk to several great restaurants all on the beach. We cooked mahi mahi, tuna, steaks, and chicken on the Weber grill provided.

It is the best value for families looking for deluxe accommodations at prices similar to hotel rooms with the added convenience of full kitchens and affordable and prompt laundry service. I think it is Santa Teresa’s best kept secret!

Room Tip: The villas on the beach are exceptional

“I love the monkeys!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013

I have to say, I am a wildlife lover. As a result, spending a week in a villa right in the rain forest is one of the best things possible. I loved seeing the monkeys; I literally spent hours watching them.

The staff, the breakfast, and all the amenities were amazing at red palm villas. The staff is friendly, and polite, and accomodated us in every way possible. Mike, the owner, was kind enough to arrange a guide who took us through the rain forest, and another guide who showed us all the local landmarks.

One of the great things about red palm villas is the fact it's on the beach. In addition, the staff made a visible effort to keep the beach clean. I cannot recommend the beach and the resort enough.

“Red Palms Paradise!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013

Red Palm Villas is a paradise, and it is a heaven on earth. I cannot praise this place enough. They have an amazingly intimate location, and the villas do not disappoint. I enjoyed the fact I was right on the beach. Many other resorts say they are on the beach, yet are a good 5 minute walk away. Red palm villas is ON the beach. I wake up greeting the beach. The great thing is the people who work here are very aware of your privacy, and do not encroach on it - yet are always available to plan/make plans for you for whatever it is you wish to do. The view of the ocean from the villas is really just amazing. I cannot recommend it enough as a vacation spot.

“Amazing Vacation Period”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 26, 2013

We came to red palm for our honeymoon, and it was a great experience. We came here on an amazing honeymoon package, and loved our stay. As soon as we arrived at red palms we felt extremely at home. I really enjoyed the yoga on the beach with my new wife, in addition to the tours of the rain forests provided by Red palms. It really complemented the visit. Tons of great fun!
