Where do I even begin! I just returned from Costa Rica a few days ago where I celebrated my wedding and honeymoon. The wedding was on May 5th in Mal Pais, and we hosted the reception at Vista de Olas. My husband and I, along with family and friends rented out all five villas for the week. Each and every... More

This individual villa resort was just amazing!! The owners Roger, Heidi & sons and staff went out of their way to accommodate us. Delicious food to the amazing poolside sunsets were incredible. Such a wonderful intimate experience from the typical large resort. You must experience Vista de Olas! More

By far this trip was the most amazing! Hotel Vista De Olas was beautiful and exactly what we expected.

We wish we could have had more time with Roger and the Boys as they were away for most of the week on... More

We could not have been happier with Vista de Olas! They were extremely accomodating (Roger waited up late for us to check in due to some plane travel snafus), the villa was gorgeous and the main pavilion and pool area has to be seen to be believed. Breakfast each morning was wonderful. We especially liked the rice, beans and eggs.... More

My husband and I just returned from a trip to Costa Rica. We spent our first five nights at Hotel Vista de Olas. The pool has a gorgeous view of the city and of the sunset. The staff and owner is also very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the beach as well. The rooms are not luxurious, but they... More

This is a beautiful place to stay! No only is it beautiful, but the owner, his family and workers make everyone feel especially welcome. The personal attention and attitude of everyone made you feel right at home. More
