Art Villas Costa Rica, Villas & Glamping

The location was stunning with so much wildlife including seeing toucans daily, the swimming pool, sauna, gym and yoga shalah were such a lovely addition. The kitchen facilities were well stocked and great for done home cooking, it felt peaceful and the staff were lovely.

Given it is rainy season we felt it could have been helpful to have more regular cleaning as by the end of our 3 day stay lots of bugs started to make their way into the bed, also nothing would dry so maybe fresh towels would be beneficial.

The location and the nature The content is super nice and you feel you are sleeping in the Forest with the animal noises at night Really relaxing and comfortable to cook food as well

Cleaning only every 3 days in a place like this Where the cocos are open it’s not good and it dosen’t garantee a safe environnement Cleaning is the only point I didnt like - i got otitis from this place. Not sure if the pool or something else.

Great !! Beautiful becoming one with nature. The owner stays on the property, so that is a plus. Beds are very comfortable. Bring your own food to cook or before you come. You’re literally high up in the jungle we stayed in pod 4.

Its a villa with a private pool that overlooks Bahia Ballena, it has 3 beds and plenty of space for a party of 6. Has a full equipped kitchen (recommend washing the dishes before using them) The pool is fine, too cold in the nights but during the day its a nice refresher. The staff is really nice and helpful, when they want. The place has really nice views and the architecture is something different to what you see in Costa Rica. We got a nice tour of the whole place the 2nd day we were there and it looked really run down, the yoga deck was moldy and some pieces of wood where loose in the stairs.

The villa is really run down, you can see chips of the wall that were damaged by previous customers. The grill, the pans and pots have oxid all over it, we couldnt use the grill even though i washed it like 3 times. Wifi went out on our first night and the staff in the hotel didnt know how to fix it nor did the minimum effort to try and fix it, and we needed the wifi!. The price we got included breakfast, but as a surprise, breakfast never included juice, so we had to make our own coffee and drink water, this looks like a shaddy practice to me, they dont send you anything to drink with on breakfast so you end up using the mini bar. The prices for the minibar where just too high, honestly, it feels like the villa is just an excuse to upcharge you for everything else. The restaurant was closed on our stay, booking said it was going to be open, but we can imagine the prices on the restaurant are as high as the bottles of wine and minibar in the villa. If you have light sleep or are paranoid during the nights this wont be a nice place to go, the Villas main door (which seems to be a door that was used as a garage before) doesnt have any type of lock, so you will spend the whole night thinking that someone is right outside your bedroom. There is a dome camera right at the entrance of the villa, it looked like a 360' dome, all the walls are made of off transparent glass so you couldnt trust that the dome wasnt moving during the day, not even for a swim at the pool. The checkout is just too early, 10am and they off course, try to upsell you a late checkout, you will get a message 20m before your checkout time and then 5m before someone will be knocking on your door, which is really annoying. You do need a 4x4 to get there, the road is not really that hard to go through but the rain makes it almost impossible for a 4x2. About the noise complaints, i do see the reason for them, the "cocos" are right next to the reception/rest/bar and it is noisy.
