Great quite place to stay. We were in a separate bungalow that had a view of the ocean. Very interesting design of the room. Shower was inside and outside the bungalow. And we also had a little deck with the table to sit and watch sunset. Pool area also serves as breakfast area is very nice. A little walk up the hill. But the view is stunning. Very quite and we found a family of monkeys living right outside the hotel. We stayed for 2 nights. Breakfast was very good. Cooked per order. And juice was super delicious and fresh.

Highly Recommended
Amazing. The owner Roger and his family have created a one of a kind, laid back, quality establishment that leaves you feeling taken care of and at home. A comfortable place where you can relax and do your thing. They arranged transportation for us, set up massages in our room, and took care of any question or concern we had. Roger's son's Swen and Michael own a local surf shop (Tico Brothers). We took multiple surf lessons with them and Anthony (their other instructor). Hands down, everyone at Vista De Olas, made our experience one of the best we've ever had. Our villa had an outdoor bathroom where we could watch hummingbirds, blue jays and hear the sounds of the ocean. Quiet and restful at night. The sunsets at the pool are a thing of wonder. As has been noted in previous reviews, the pool is open to the public from sunset until about 8 pm. We found this to be a really cool aspect because it provides a sense of community with locals and other travelers. You get to meet people from all over the world and locals who live in the area at the same time. All in all we had a great stay and will definitely be back again as soon as we can. - Jon and Melanie

I had the best time here. There are under 10 rooms here, and during the day the place is so quiet, and there is such a wonderful feel. The owner and manager is as nice and friendly as can be. And, the grounds are gorgeous. The staff is wonderful, and the atmosphere is heavenly

I was here in 2006 and based my entire return trip to Costa Rica around seeing the sunset. The family ownership is great and compared to a lot of other places in the area there is a lot of value in the pricing.

Don’t stay here!!!!
Windows were missing curtains so the sun came in at 5 am. Broken lights in the room. Staff wasn’t present the entire stay minus bar staff which doesn’t work for the hotel. Charged an extra 17% to the bill because they decided to charge the bill when we get there. Horrible service. Would never go back. Car was blocked in every day when drunk locals would come up to the hotel and be in the pool for free. Drunks tried to fight me. Worst hotel experience in Costa Rica.

Nice view but far uphill walk
We enjoed our stay but there were a few things that could be better. It was difficult to easily walk up and down the hill in the heat. All lights were turned off when we returned at night during our stay so if you wanted to walk, returning would be pitch dark. There was also no internet. It was workin fine in the lobby. Owners were friendly. I agree with other reviewers, the endless pool was nice when it was limited to hotel guests but come 2pm to sunsets, the public comes up to use it and it feels very uncomfortable to be surround by so many random people. I saw a few private 'tours' stop by for the view as well. No longer does it feel like a private oasis.

Ein traumhafter Aufenthalt im Vista de Olas
Super Aussicht vom Pool. Einen perfekten Gastgeber mit Roger. Wir hatten eine recht große Villa und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Zum Strand runter kann man laufen oder mit dem Auto fahren. Der Strand ist super und zum surfen ist es wohl eins der besten Surfspots in Costa Rica.
