The grounds and views were spectacular. Meals were wonderful. We were so impressed with the staff. Errol made our stay very special by recommending day trips & ensuring we were enjoying our time. The staff was amazing with our five year old. I highly recommend Villas Alturas!

great brekfast choices from menu Staff loved their jobs and were outstanding with assisting and communicating with their guests my wife and I loved the animal refuge that is located on the property. The guide was well informed & related well to the various nationalities on the tour view of the whales tail from the swiming pool area the many Toucans that were viewed from our cabin deck

The view was incredible. The food was excellent. The staff was excellent. The location was excellent. The road up the hill was quite challenging. The air conditioning only applied to the bedroom rendering the remainder of the villa useless and it seemed that the staff would come in and turn the a/c off if you were gone for more than an hour. I'm not sure if other villas in this complex were fully air-conditioned.

Our whole family loves the food made on site. The kids especially enjoyed the smoothies made by the bar staff. We used the concierge to schedule several excursions that were an excellent value. The front desk has beach equipment, surf boards, and umbrellas to use. If you feel like getting your own food at the supermarket in Uvita you can cook in your villa. The hotel not only has some incredible views but also sits in the jungle so you can enjoy the wild animals from the comfort of your balcony. The pool was a nice way to relax after a day of enjoying everything Costa Rica had to offer. Everyone on the staff and the wildlife sanctuary were amazing.

It was a well decorated Villa. Bed was hard and our backs are aching :( Beautiful views. No sharp knives only butter knifes to try and cut up fruit?!

Tammy

The staff was exceptional. The restaurant was outstanding. The view and the sounds of the jungle were enough to insure our return. This was a values altering experience. The Pura Vida way makes a lot of sense in the midst of a material world.

Over all everything was great, as it has been for 3 years running. The staff is always super helpful and friendly. David went out of his way to help me with my car problems.

“Lovely small hotel in Dominical”
- • Leisure trip

Breakfast starts a bit late (opens at 7 am and the first plates arrive even later), which may not be compatible with early tours. The mechanism to lock the windows is a bit rudimentary (sticks of bamboo - why not)... A 4x4 is necessary.
The main zone with the restaurant and the swimming pool have a stunning view over the Dominical and Uvita seashore. Staff was very nice and went the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable. Main lobby, restaurant and pool area are very harmonious. Our villa had all necessary equipment, including a baby cot, a terrasse with an amazing view and AC in the bedroom. Convenient location to go to Uvita and Bahía (15-20min), Manuel Antonio (52 min), beautiful beaches (Dominicalito, Playa Hermosa). Very interesting Wildlife sanctuary at a walking distance.

The staff was exceptional!!! I loved every experience the food was also amazing. The view was the most beautiful thing in the world. Made some memories here that I will cherish forever. Also the Villas were amazing as well. Nice and close to two close little beach towns to grab anything you need. Most beautiful place ever to stay at for Uvita/Dominical area hands down.

“THE place to stay if you are in the area!!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 3 nights
Wifi (for our stay) was only in the lobby because of an internet issue - but come on, who can complain about wifi when you should be looking out at the natural beauty all around you!
The photos do not lie, the view from this hotel is spectactular! The pool area (just off the lobby) is the perfect place to lounge for the day, and spend some time in the evening. The breakfast is excellent, as is the dinner at the restaurant (the vegetarian green curry is outstanding). The villas themselves are secluded enough, but a quick 30 second walk to the lobby. Sitting on the villa's deck (or in the hammock) is also a great way to spend an afternoon. The villas are comfortable, have large windows, spacious bathrooms/showers, and a kitchenette. Outstanding location and amenities for the money. The staff are also a highlight at Villas Alturas; from the bartenders, servers to the concierge. Absolutely lovely people, it was great to sit and chat with them on a lazy afternoon. The animal sanctuary next door is a must do as well - they do great work for their rescued animals! The drive up to the hotel definitely requires a 4x4...and the turn off is clearly marked from either direction on the highway.

It took us a bit to figure out the hot water but once we did it was no problem. I think it was an on-demand system that we weren’t familiar with, worked great once we knew how to use it.
Our whole family loves the food made on site. The kids especially enjoyed the smoothies made by the bar staff. We used the concierge to schedule several excursions that were an excellent value. The front desk has beach equipment, surf boards, and umbrellas to use. If you feel like getting your own food at the supermarket in Uvita you can cook in your villa.
