to get started.

Pool was good, staff fantastic, great fruit bowl. Franko and Anna were wonderful. Fantastic view. Security at night. Very romantic

Jeanne, United States of America

The property had amazing views of the Pacific Ocean. The pool was nice and the restaurant was quaint. It was clean and wildlife was present. We had a Coati come on our front porch within 30 minutes of being there.

Edward, United States of America

The staff was amazing, the view incredible and sounds of the jungle was present everywhere.... absolutely the best resort we have ever stayed! Thank you so much for our outstanding accommodations.... my kiddos and I can't wait to go back!

Beckie, United States of America

The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating!

Emily, United States of America

The food was absolutely fantastic! Five-star restaurant! The children really enjoyed the pool. The Wildlife Center was a very enriching extra activity. The views of the ocean were breathtaking. The accommodations in the Villas much more than we expected - full kitchen, spacious living and sitting area, and large bathrooms. The location was close enough (with access to a car) to participate in other activities (horseback ride to Nauyaca Falls, offshore fishing from Quepos, a visit to the Rainforest Spices farm near Quepos, grocery shopping as needed.

Janet, United States of America

The people who worked at Alturas were amazingly nice and made each day so pleasant. We had to leave really early on the last day so they made us each a huge take out plate of fresh fruit to take with us. The wildlife sanctuary was really nice. You can tell they really care about the animals. We had a limited amount of time to stay in Dominical/Uvita area and we were given great advice about where to go and what to do for free/ little money. They let us use boogie boards and take towels to the beach. If we wanted we could've also used a beach umbrella. They were so nice. We loved waking up to the howler monkeys and toucans. It was such a wonderfully relaxing stay. We loved everything about this place!

Tnjns, United States of America

The staff goes out of there way to please. It is an amazing place with an amazing view. Their breakfasts are fantastic.

Anonymous, United States of America

Food, drinks and service were excellent. The views are spectacular. The rooms are very large and were much nicer than shown on bookings.com. It's a small property (8 villas) and so it's very personal and pleasant.

Maya, United States of America

beautiful place. nice breakfast. right between Domenical and Ouvita. clean and the staff are very helpful. big room. ideal for families.

Iris, Israel

The stunning view !! From villa no. 2 we had jungle on one side and a commanding view of the Pacific on the other. Not ideal if with young kids as there is little to do onsite but we spent hours relaxing in the hammock or cooling off in the (small) pool. Breakfast was very good. The staff were fantastic; warm, welcoming and helpful. A visit to the co-located animal sanctuary is a must.

Small beds (twins), one of our beds broke during our stay. Overall it's more of a motel than a villa experience as villas are crammed close together and as soon as you go out on the porch you get remarks from nasty neighbors.
Great view, helpful staff.

“Fabulous boutique hotel located right in between the lush jungle and stunning ocean vistas!”
- • Leisure trip

- • One-Bedroom Villa

The view from the room was insane. It was like waking up every day in your own personal jungle paradise. Widespread ocean views and sunrises/sunsets, surrounded by lush jungle accompanied by howler monkeys and other wildlife sounds. So soothing, so rejuvenating and so lush. Best part is it is so easy to get to from San Jose, just a 3.5hour drive on good roads. We loved the peninsula too, but the roads are a pain in the ***. Villa Alturas is located 5 mins up from the beach, a good 4WD is a must as the hill up is steep, but the view is so worth it. We stayed in room nr. 3 and I would claim it is the very best room as it is located at the front of the ridge, and you don't see any other rooms. The pool area up top is so picturesque. We had the place almost to ourselves it felt like as we arrived at a quiet time. Such a luxury. Breakfast and lunch were both great, not a huge menu, but good quality food. The hotel lastly supports and runs a wildlife sanctuary just up the road, a must-see and such a nice experience. A big thumbs up from us!

We had a couple of maintenance issues but they were quickly addressed once reported.
The view from Villa 3 was incredible. We spent a lot of time just lounging on the front porch taking in the endless Pacific Ocean while listening to the howler monkeys and toucans in the trees below. The is also a nonprofit wildlife refuge onsite that is worth a look.
