Guest Reviews

• kristinsD9321HX (10/5): Just WOW! - We had an amazing stay at Villa Buena Onda! First class experience from start to finish. The staff was warm and welcoming and the meals were gourmet. And we were pampered at their on site spa. Hope we can get back there soon!
• ComeOnandTravel (10/5): Such an awesome villa! - Excellent staff and the villa is beautiful. We had a blast, we rented it out with all our friends and we couldn't ask for anything better. The food and drinks were awesome. The communication before getting there was great, very responsive and accommodating. The concierge (Carlos) was awesome, Sam (bartender) fixes great drinks and the chef was so great! Ashley was wonderful when we got to the house and Abigail answered my million questions before arrival. The pool is great and even the snacks were awesome! They made my job as a travel agent easy! Thank you Villa Buena Onda for such a wonderful stay!
• V7794DWjamesw (10/5): Amazing villa for a big group. - The house was perfect for our stay. We even decided not to go out a couple of nights because the house was everything we needed. Service was excellent too - always around to help and very knowledgeable. Rooms are large and comfortable. Views amazing.
• ManoWatsa (10/5): Phenomenal!! - Absolutely phenomenal! We couldn't have been more pleased. The staff, food, accommodations, and view were amazing! You will be blown away by your experience here, as was our staff leadership team and spouses.
• margiew516 (10/5): Can I live here! Outstanding! - The experience was first class - 5-Star. The onsite staff were amazing - friendly, attentive, and available. The food was delicious - every single meal! The rooms were comfortable and the views spectacular! My only feedback to the owner would be to install better shower heads that allow for more water pressure.
• sarita943 (10/5): Pura Vida - We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home. The food was incredible, the house immaculate, the service extraordinary. Thank you for taking such good care of us. We have memories to last a lifetime!
• ActiveFamilyof5 (10/5): Beautiful setting with excellent service - Beautiful location with tremendous service to take care of your every need without being in your face. Very easy to get to from Liberia airport. Excellent massages offered on-site. Large and comfortable bedrooms with new beds.
• terrireilly2018 (10/5): Wonderful! - We had a wonderful week at Villa Buena Onda, which offered everything we could possibly need, including access to a chef, bartender, housekeeping and an on-site spa. Chef Nela's food was absolutely delicious, and Samuel was always at our service, whether he was serving us delicacies or refilling our wine glasses. We enjoyed driving the golf cart into town, just a few miles away, to explore the local shops, restaurants, and the beautiful beach. After a day of hiking, boating and snorkeling, it was a treat to to return to the comforts of the villa. We loved our time at Villa Buena Onda and hope to return soon!
• J3370KXchristopherg (10/5): Tropical Paradise - Villa Buena Onda is nestled in the hills above playas del Coco. The villa is on a large piece of property which is beautifully landscaped and impeccably maintained. It faces the ocean, and has stunning views of Coco bay. The villa is quiet and feels secluded, but it is a short walk from the bustling beach town of Coco. The rooms were all spacious, well appointed and immaculate. The centerpiece of the villa is a gorgeous two-tiered swimming pool, complete with a waterfall and swim up bar. We enjoyed wonderful excursions each day (snorkeling, hiking a volcano, swimming beath a breathtaking water fall), but we were always excited to return to the comfort of the villa. The dining at Villa Buena Onda is exceptional. All of the meals were served al fresco at a large dining table on the terrace above the pool. Each day began with a bountiful breakfast, which always included fresh papaya, mango, and other tropical fruits which were picked daily from the villa's orchard. In addition to standard American fare, breakfast would always include a few traditional Costa Rican choices which were introduced and explained to us by our loveable waiter, Samuel. Lunch was unnecessary, as our days were filled with activities outside the villa. But when any of our group found themselves in the villa at mid-day, Nala would make sure they were fed warm pupusas, or guacamole prepared with avocados freshly picked from the orchard. After our daily excursions, our whole party (17 in all) would gather for dinner. We sat together beneath the stars while an attentive staff served us extraordinary meals and excellent wine. If you are looking for a really special getaway for a group, this is the place. I know our group is looking forward to returning to Vila Buena Onda.
• TKMK-AllDay (10/5): VBO: I could get used to this - All the comforts of home if your home includes world class amenities, an uber-attentive staff (I miss Samuel, Nela, Heidy and the rest every day), sumptuous meals every day, and access to indescribable views and activities. I recommend the day sail with snorkeling and the volcano hike with waterfalls you can swim under. Did I mention the spa? And the guest bartender? We were truly spoiled during the entire experience which was equal parts adventure and relaxation. I can't wait to go back.
• B7358LSmikef (10/5): An Amazing Experience! - Our week at Villa Buena Onda was spectacular. My wife and I joined seven other couples and we were treated like royalty by VBO's wonderful staff from the warm greeting when we arrived to the emotional goodbyes when we left. The food was incredible and the spa treatments were so relaxing. My wife and I got a couples massage, and we did not want it to ever end. VBO helped us with all of our excursions and transportation needs. They made it very easy for us to enjoy every aspect of our vacation. Samuel served us all of our meals and we all wanted to take him home with us! We cannot wait to go back to Villa Buena Onda!!
• FrequentFlier786144 (10/5): Experience Pura Vida! - Pura Vida! Villa Buena Onda is a fantastic destination. The property is great, well-kept with friendly and attentive staff. I traveled there with friends. We enjoyed great gathering spaces inside and outside, with plenty of room to spread out as well. The large, covered pavilion by the pool was a favorite hangout spot. It provides a perfect break from the sun and is just as great a place to take in a seasonal afternoon rain shower. Dinners together were terrific, always delicious and served with attention to detail. There was something for everyone at the villa with optional activities offered daily by the staff. One day we met in the kitchen for an empanada cooking class—fun and delicious! Another day they prepared craft cocktails poolside featuring fruits and herbs picked from the on-property garden. The villa staff made our stay special. They are warm and offer the best in Cosa Rican hospitality. The villa is well located with many walkable activities. We hiked nearby trails with great panoramic coastline views and also walked to town. The villa is close to Coco Beach, a small beach town with restaurants and shops. We enjoyed a couple afternoons in town. Coconutz is a great sports bar for futbol and football. I hope to return soon to Villa Buena Onda!
• michaelaS6703BB (10/5): Villa Buena Onda - Great Experience - Not sure where to begin. I was invited to visit Villa Buena Onda as part business part leisure trip. Travel into Liberia was smooth and the airport is such a better experience than San Jose. After a short drive, we arrived at the property and I was immediately impressed by the well kept grounds and the curb appeal of the property. We were greeted by the staff and for the next 6 days, we enjoyed days of relaxing by the pool, venturing out for hikes and trips on the water. Each morning we sat outside and enjoyed the view of the Pacific while the staff served up a delicious breakfast of traditional and local fare. It only got better at night for dinner. The chef and the staff served amazing dinners each night. The pool and the outdoor bar area make for a relaxing day or evening. My room was spacious, decorated nicely, super clean and had views out to the ocean that you usually see only in magazines. Bottom line - this villa is the perfect getaway for a private and pampered getaway. The real secret is the incredible local staff that runs the place. Everyone was friendly and greeted us with a smile. Charlie the concierge made it all happen including a fishing trip he booked for me. I brought my catch back to the villa and the chef prepared an amazing fish dinner in true Costa Rican fashion. This gem of a place, nestled above Playa del Coco, is a rare find. Super private. I look forward to returning.
• M6189TEjeffl (10/5): Best Stay in Costa Rica...Ever! - Beautiful Villa and great escape for a large group. Great to be so close to the airport and not spend a lot of time in the car back and forth. Villa was far enough away as a perfect secluded escape but still in walking distance ot the local grocery store. Bedrooms are huge with beautiful views from the balconies. Everyone loved the two tiered pool and the swim up bar...so cool! Meals were phenomenal and the staff were so attentive and fantastic. Thanks to Charlie for all his help scheduling our day trips, shuttles and spa sessions. Spa services were incredible. Our masseuse Naza was awesome! Loved the sleepy laid back town of Coco Beach. Lots of shops and beach front bars and restaurants. Nice to have the pick up point for our sunset cruise right on Coco Beach.
• JRV433 (10/5): AMAZING!! - Wow what a resort!! We spent a week here and absolutely the best vacation ever. There were 18 in our family from 11-79. Everyone loved it. The accommodations are superb, the food was great ( very Costa Rica style) and the STAFF WOW. Everyone was superb. We wanted a vacation that was truly a relaxing vacation and that it was. We were treated like royalty. We cannot say enough good about how the staff treats you The day we had to say goodbye there were tears in everyones eyes. We celebrated an anniversary, a 79th Birthday and also end of chemo surviving life and in remission for me. I cannot say enough good about this place. The rooms were great the beds comfortable and we were very satisfied. Definitely will hope to go back someday.
• Tmholly3 (10/5): Magical experience ☺️ - Villa Buena Onda!! One of the best vacations by far. It started with the communication with Charlie who made sure everything was organized for arrival. We had complimentary shuttle service from airport to Villa and back to airport. We had 3 delicious meals per day that were pre planned prior to arriving which were served by Samuel and his team. Samuel was such a hard worker. He was so nice and kind and assisted us with translating when needed. The ladies in the kitchen that prepared meals were so sweet. Diego our private bar tender from 11am to 8pm was such a great host as well. When he left at 8pm he made sure we had ice and glasses along with our drinks that could last til the end of the night. There was also a grounds keeper that made sure we were good to go at night and made sure things were secure. If your thinking of booking stop reading and book right now you will not be disappointed. We had a group of 16 and everyone had a fantastic time at Villa Buena Onda!!!
• Seaside687178 (10/5): Amazing Vacation destination!!! - We had the most amazing stay at Villa Buena Onda! Everything was perfect for the celebration of our 45th wedding anniversary. The Villa is so spacious and very clean, the pools were perfect for our group of 9 adults and 6 children (ages 9-15). The staff took such great care of us, making themselves available to assist with whatever needs we might have. The food was perfect! We only wish we could have stayed longer. You won't go wrong choosing this as your vacation destination!
• Adventure619417 (10/5): Amazing staff - The villa was absolutely beautiful. Gorgeous view and amazing pools. The rooms are spacious and beds are cozy. The staff was so amazing and made our stay the best vacation ever. The food here was way better than anything we had at the local restaurants. Not a single bad thing to say about this place.
• kristinsD9321HX (10/5): Luxury and Privacy! - We couldn’t have had a more perfect stay in Coco. This all inclusive villa has everything we were looking for. We enjoyed gourmet meals and the staff was so attentive and friendly. The two pools and swim up bar were are main hang outs and our bartender Samuel made sure we were taken care of. The rooms were beautiful and huge and every room has a view. We all were pampered by a full range of spa services on property! We also loved the variety of games offered on property and easy access to Coco beach and its many excursions (we took a tuna fishing charter and sunset snorkel cruise). And the best part was this was our own private paradise. We can’t wait to come back to Villa Buena Onda!
• D2425QTjuliep (10/5): Amazing accommodations and staff!!! - Check out Villa Buena Onda, an all inclusive resort in Costa Rica, for your next get away with friends and family. This resort checks all the boxes including well appointed guest rooms, delicious food and the most attentive and welcoming staff. Easy access to excursions. Pura Vida!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Everything about this property was perfect! The staff was exceptional!
• jay (10/5): - Just an amazing place - beautiful room, staff, and everyday you look over to the ocean is just paradise. Highly recommend this place.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - This was our first time staying at a hotel this small and it was wonderful. Not sure if they are all like that but the staff members know you by name and are super attentive. Because the hotel was so small there isn’t a whole lot to do on the property which makes it easy to choose to relax which is exactly what you should do on vacation anyways. Food was actually pretty good in my opinion. They have made to order breakfast included which was my favorite out of the three hotels we stayed at.
• Leonardo (10/5): Awesome place!!! - This is 4 STAR and indicate 3 STAR ... this Hotel and the people there are the best...!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Has nice ocean view, room very nice, breakfast excellent, staff very friendly, Is a very quiet place, surely recommend, they have free shuttle to 3 of the main beaches
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The hotel is beautiful! Great service. Very peaceful.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - beautiful views from the master suite and a jetted spa tub was a nice feature. breakfast omelet was great. I would stay again for sure.
• Andrea (8/5): - We stayed for 7 nights and ate almost all our meals at the villa restaurant. We are pescatarians and they were very accommodating, however, the we did run out of new options quickly and the quality of the food ranged from excellent to poor. All other aspects of our stay were excellent!!!!! The service, amenities, rooms, pool, staff friendliness, etc. were top notch. And, the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful. We took the Hidden Beach private boat tour and it was phenomenal. We had a day hike around Coco with Jennifer which was so much fun, enjoyed the Secreto Lovers Spa Treatment immensely, rented a dirt bike from Papagayo Holidays in Playa del Coco and drove to Brasilito which was so much fun. We visited Playa del Ocotol, a wonderful beach for both exploring and snorkeling. There is so much to do in this area. Each beach is unique. I highly recommend the Villa and the area. Pura Vida, Buena Onda!!!!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Service with a smile! - Enjoyed 3 nights here and it was not early enough time. Everyone ... I mean everyone there is friendly and focused on providing excellent service during your stay. They provided our itinerary and scheduled all of our taxis and transfers to airport which is so much closer than expected. The spa is amazing and so private. They also support two schools with supplies and uniforms so it’s nice knowing the community is positively impacted. Our new home away from home for this couple.
• Deronna (10/5): Best place in Costa Rica - I absolutely loved it here! I was scared to travel alone and wanted a hotel that was all-inclusive and small and quiet. I'm so glad I found this place. The staff were really great and friendly and made me feel like a little sister instead of a guest. Alex, Jeniffer, Cesar, Carlos, Francisco, Javier and Christian and all of the staff even the drivers were wonderful and pleasant and made me feel very comfortable and safe. The hotel is beautiful and well-kept. The restaurant had delicious meals. Even if I was late for lunch or breakfast the waiters and chef still accommodated me and I appreciate that so much. I loved my stay here and can't wait to go back.Thanks guys!
• Hollee (10/5): - Beautiful property with a very accommodating staff! Best banana dac on the island
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The small size of the property was an asset for us because we were looking to relax in some peace & quiet. The property is the type of place that is quiet at night and where you get to know the rest of the guests (only 8 rooms). We left extremely happy, but the charm of its size may not be for everyone. The property is as pictured. Although we appreciated the small size of the property, there are inherent limitations when several people would like food / drink / assistance and there isn't enough staff to go around. While this wasn't the norm during our stay, it is worth noting that you can't get in a hurry here. *wink*
• Diana (10/5): - This eight room boutique hotel has gorgeous landscaping and views. The rooms were clean and nicely furnished including a super comfortable bed. I only wish the room had a mini fridge. The staff is very helpful and friendly and catered to all our needs. A few dishes in the all-inclusive food plan where excellent and most were good, but not what I consider top-notch. I did appreciate the willingness to accommodate my dietary restrictions.
• EDDY (10/5): - Great place to stay and relax. Food very delicious exept for the Gallo Pinto which could be way better. Very friendly staff, great location and fantastic pool with background relaxing music 😏
• Luis (10/5): - Staff and hotel are wonderful. Shelly, Cristian, and the rest were the highlight of our stay.
• Gwen (10/5): - Stunning property, beyond our expectations. Staff very attentive, professional and kind. The food is incredible! We did not want to leave.
• Elana (10/5): Exceeded our expectations - Villa Buena Onda exceeded our expectations. Each meal was delicious, satisfying, well balanced and meticulously plated. Every employee that we met greeted us with a warm smile and welcoming heart. The facilities are beautiful, clean and well mantained. The views are spectacular and It was a joy to learn about and enjoy the Costa Rican ecosystem. We thoroughly enjoyed massages at their Secreto Spa and delicious drinks at happy hour, daily. This is a true gem perched atop a mountain. We will most certainly return. Until next time, Pura Vida!
• Shawn (8/5): - Great place and great food!!!! Only complaint, our room was by the Kitchen.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Off the beaten path. You may have trouble finding it but once you do you won't be disappointed! Will return 4 sure....besos Pura vida
• Hannah (10/5): The perfect relaxing getaway - This was the absolute perfect Costa Rican getaway for my fiancé and me. We spent the first half of our trip at one of the larger all inclusive resorts, and this was infinitely better. We stayed in an ocean view suite and it was absolutely perfect in size and was clean and comfortable. I couldn't have asked for a better room for the price. The staff was unbelievably friendly and helpful and available for everything we needed. They also provide a daily shuttle to and from the various beaches which was the perfect way to explore. We didn't do any excursions from this hotel, but they have tons of info available and were able and ready to help plan trips. I honestly cannot recommend this place enough. The food is FANTASTIC and yes, the drinks are an additional cost, but they are reasonably priced and are large and not made with cheap liquor like they are at some of the all inclusive places. If you're looking for a relaxing and private getaway, this is the place for you!
