“Pros and cons but overall- would stay here again!”

Reviewed 1 June 2013

We arrived to Buena Vista Villas after a stay at a truly luxury resort in La Fortuna so we had been pampered for 4 days prior to arriving to be fair in this review! The property is so huge that you have to adjust your thinking to catching the shuttle to go pretty much anywhere unless your near a pool... More

“Jr. Suite in luxury villa is not what was offered”

My husband and I just returned from our first trip to Costa Rica. We loved the country. This property was so disapointing however. We too found that there was no closet to speak of and never unpacked suitcases. The room was not freshly cleaned and we had some dead bugs on the floor and the toilet was black inside with... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I'm sorry you felt you had a negative experience in our Jr. Suite. You said the property was so disappointing, but it appears all of your complaints were with the unit you choose. For example, the closet is not spacious, but is on a par with most hotels in the...
