“Quality everything”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 10, 2013

We were so lucky to find Vista Hermosa on our last minute search to find a place to stay for a few days. We can't say enough about Vista Hermosa and the dynamic duo that runs this fine establishment. Judy and Javier are like a walking encyclopedia of information about the area and were generous and flexible with their time. We did not have a car, but Judy and Javier helped us out when we wanted to leave the property. You need to hike a bit to get to the beaches, but we enjoyed that. Our bungalow was clean, filled with light and just the right amount of modern and cozy. The bed was ultra comfortable. The common outdoor area around the main house was a great place for breakfast, dinner, a glass of wine or just socializing with our hosts and other guests. Javier cooked up one of the best meals we had of our 10 day visit to CR. An overall wonderful experience.

“Bit of paradise under a million stars”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 2, 2013

Peaceful, clean family hotel that could not have been more accommodating for our group. They handles the arc tours , zip line excursion, and horseback riding and the. Handed is a cocktail I the pool at the end of the day. The view was a tad less than we expected , but the surrounding g walk to the beach made it all worth while. Very clean with great dinners . Enjoy and visit soon .

“One of the most enjoyable vacations ever!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013

We can’t say enough about how well we were treated by Judy & Javier at Vista Hermosa B&B. The accommodations were excellent and the staff made us feel very comfortable. From the beautifully decorated and landscaped gardens to the truly excellent meals it far exceeded our expectations. All you had to do is let Judy know what food you enjoy and they will prepare it. We had everything from shrimp scampi to barbequed ribs and the meals were well prepared and delicious! Mingling with the staff and other guests was most enjoyable. Also, it was gratifying to know we could arrange all our activities through Judy or Javier right at the B&B - anything from deep sea fishing to zip-lining was doable. Or you could simply relax in a comfortable chair, with a refreshing drink, and read a good book. Our 8-day stay was so relaxing it was hard to leave. Without any hesitation, we have recommended Vista Hermosa to all our friends, and look forward to a return visit in the future.

Room Tip: We enjoyed the detached suite which contained 2 bedrooms, TV area, kitchen, dining area and laundry...

“Great Vacation Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 24, 2013

Staying at Vista Hermosa B&B was a great experience. Judy & Javier really know how to take good care of guests. We took advantage of their expertise and enjoyed a waterfall hike and swim in Montezuma, an ATV tour of the beautiful scenery around Tambor, along with a swim in a local river, a hike through a nature reserve close by, and relaxed at the beach that was a five minute walk from the B&B. We let them know what we were interested in doing and they took care of all the details since we chose not to rent a car to get around. We especially enjoyed the great meals and visiting with other people from around the world and the other friendly staff they employ. While you can tell by their website photos that the B&B looks beautiful, it doesn't do their place justice. You can't tell that the actual bedding is really comfortable, or that the food is locally sourced and delicious. We are still talking about it and wishing we were back in the area.
