If you want warmth, friendliness, privacy, oceanfront, infinity pool and outstanding breakfasts in a spectacular setting, stay at Villa Alegre. We had been in Costa Rica for a couple of weeks touring the country and this was nearing the end of our visit. We did not have reservations but saw the vacancy sign and stopped. I am so glad we...
