The Garden Casitas by Vista Celestial

Best place to stay

Pros: Everything was great, a bit stip and far, but the view, spectacular! Love it! Thank you!

Amazing

Pros: The view, the villa, the food, the people. We enjoyed it all. That was the best ending for our trip we could imagine

Pros: The view is amazing; direct view to the Marino Ballena NP, the villas are located ca. 2km up in the hills within the rainforest; highly recommended is a 4 wheel drive car to the villas

Luxury and extraordinary villa with great view

Pros: Feel like god in heaven. Best place with luxury accommodation and gourmet restaurant. The crew is highly qualified, best services. I recommend a lift from the parking lot to the villa, because the last 4 km are very very challenging, even for 4x4. One way downtown per day is free. An extra tour costs 25$. Fascinating view over Uvita and the whaletale beach. Great garden with palms, trees and flowers. From the pool you can watch butterflies and many birds. Some trails around the place, nice lonely beaches around Uvita.

Pros: The communication with the owners and the property manager was excellent. They gave us all the information we needed, gave us advice and made us feel very much at home. The house and gardens are just incredibly beautiful, you have the most amazing view of the whaletail, from the garden, the pool and the bedrooms. Everything was immaculate, the house is simply stunning.

Cons: Nothing at all

Really stunning property with beautiful pool - as long as you're a super confident driver (with 4x4)

Pros: Absolutely stunning property, finished to an exceptional standard. Really high ceilings and high gloss stone floors. Really comfortable beds and high quality bedding, and we slept so well here. It was a luxury to have a beautiful bathroom each. There were great extras like dressing areas and handy storage areas which were really useful to keep luggage and shoes out of the way and to keep a sense of calm. The whole house has been designed so thoughtfully with high end materials. It feels like a really special place. The view was divine and the shared area and pool were gorgeous. We enjoyed watching the toucans, hearing the jungle sounds and loved watching the sun set from the viewing area tree stumps. The grounds are also beautifully manicured. I would rate the property 10/10 for the property itself but have taken 2 points off for communication and management. Doron, the owner was very helpful.

Cons: I didn't feel it was made clear just how difficult and long the road up to the property is. We had a 4x4 in the beginning of dry season and it was very tough going. I am a less confident driver than my husband and there would be no way I would have felt comfortable driving it. It takes 15 mins up a hairy dirt path with massive rocks and potholes. It's really stunning when you get there. The communication with the property manager could have been better and more proactive. At the last minute a new person turned up to show us round and it was clear he didn't really know the house very well. There were a few small but annoying things that a luxury property should have sorted,, like the batteries were flat in the TV remote and the TV was crazy complicated. After a week in the Osa jungle in a cabin, we really wanted to chill with a TV that worked. All the appliances are top of the range and new but no instructions. The cooker looked brand new, but the oven gas went out every time the door was closed. One of the windows didn't lock. The pool lights didn't work due to a power outage and the shared area lights don't come on till 5.30pm - no-one told us this, and it was down to us to ask. We felt guilty about messaging people as it was Xmas, and it could have been avoided by proactive communication in the first place. Make sure you get everything explained really well at check in.

Would 100% recommend, so much to do in uvita.

Pros: Amazing location, surrounded by nature, fabulous hosts, beautiful villas and site

Pros: The location was absolutely beautiful, with stunning views and a clean and comfortable villa. There were good places to sit outside and the pool was just perfect. Furthermore the hosts were so helpful and friendly. We do recommend a 4x4 car to get to the accomodation. Absolutely perfect!

Pros: Perfect accommodation. The best we had during our trip. Thank you, Doron!

The hosts were very cool, friendly and so generous and helpful. The accommodation was huge and clean and well equipped.

Pros: The property was simply stunning. The location is outstanding with one of the best views we have experienced.

Cons: We loved every square inch!! Especially ‘The Ranch’ a purpose built viewing area adjacent to the pool. It is magnificent, with a fridge and a BBQ with views to die for throughout the whole day.
