Villas Alturas

Good

Gracias por la atención. La habitación muy limpia

Stay was amazing. The views do NOT get any better than this. It’s not the most modern but it’s better than some 5 star places I’ve stayed. And I travel a lot. Highly recommend and definitely get a 4x4.

All rooms would benefit from a mini fridg! Lovely view of Alejuela. Friendly staff

I stayed at Villas Alturas for 12 nights in December as I was doing some volunteering at the animal sanctuary adjacent to the villas. The property has the most stunning views from the terrace and pool area overlooking the coastline. It is surrounded by lush jungle with all the sights and sounds you would expect. It is quite isolated in its location which is both a blessing and a curse. It is at the top of an 800m gravel single track road on a very steep gradient. If you want to leave the hotel grounds you definitely need to hire a car. The villas themselves were very clean but are very dated. They are still very 1980s in the decor and could def do with a refresh on the interiors. Great space tho. Shower was large and worked well. Small kitchen with fridge, oven and microwave. A few bits a bit rough around the edges but overall perfectly ok. Fantastic views from the villa terrace too. My main gripe was that the pool area was very small (8 metre kidney shaped pool apx) and as such couldn’t handle many people to be there. As a guest I would have expected the pool and terrace to be for guests only, however the reception area was a meeting point for the Alturas sanctuary tours so at times there was a procession of day trippers wandering around the pool area. I was there when people who only came for lunch were allowed to use the pool too. So at times that area became very busy with non paying guests. They definitely need to create an area of separation for guests & day trippers.

Absolutely beautiful views. I was there in the low season, so the restaurant was only open for breakfast. It was good food, small portions. Inside the cabina has a full kitchen, living room, and bedroom, with a good sized bathroom as well. It is super spacious and has an amazing balcony/patio with a hammock, rocking chairs, and table/chairs. it is a super steep rocky hill to drive up, somewhat challenging at night.

It was ok. Needs a little TLC. Was delighted with the short walk to restaurants directly on the beach!!

Ocean views are amazing. Hotel staff is extremely good at helping us to accommodate and answer our inquiries.

Amazing ocean views!!! Food is excellent as well as service provided. Room is so comfortable and clean. Temperature around the area is excellent (because of location above see level -- around 100mts).

The restaurant menu was very simple and just average in quality. The villa I got had no view of the ocean and when I asked for another one, they claimed there were no more and it was not true. There were several empty ones!!!!
