Lock in a great price for Villas Alturas – rated 9.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

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.

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.

Chris, United States of America

The view is world class, and probably the biggest selling point. And their food was amazing! But in the end, it was the people who worked there that made our stay extra special. Can't wait to come back

Courtney, United States of America

Dinner menu was limited and a drive was required if you didn't wish to dine onsite. Access to the hotel very definitely requires a 4X4.

The menu was limited to fish and vegetarian dishes both of which my husband doesn't eat. This had not been pointed out at the time of booking which was frustrating but luckily there are some nice restaurants close by.
Easy to find just off the main highway up a long steep gravelly drive. Absolutely stunning views of the coast with a small, very warm swimming pool, sun terrace and comfy sunbeds. The room was large with a great terrace over looking the bay and a small piece of jungle..We had room 7. It was a little tired and the bathroom could really do with being updated with a cracked mirror and pathetic shower. The kitchen looked good but lacked utensils but the fridge worked well. I requested a kettle and they said I could borrow one but they needed it back for breakfast!!!! On the terrace were some nice rocking chairs and it smelt beautiful from the ylang-ylang tree which the toucans also found very attractive but one of the fans didn't work and a maintainent man looked at it briefly and swiftly gave up! The sanctuary was a really nice addition with the staff being very enthusiastic and informed. Overall, i would say this property is living off its stunning location and we enjoyed our 3 days stay.
