We were welcomed with warm hospitality by Roger, the owner, and his friendly staff. Roger made it a point to check in with us daily, ensuring that we had everything we needed and that we were enjoying our stay. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The infinity pool was undoubtedly a highlight of our stay. The views from the pool were breathtaking, especially during sunset. We loved relaxing there in the evenings. We also appreciated the hotel’s eco-friendly approach, primarily powered by solar energy.Overall, we had a fantastic stay at this eco-friendly hotel. The combination of stunning views, excellent service, and a commitment to sustainability made it a memorable experience. ##### Alayna ### 10/10 Excellent #### Olga May 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great quite place to stay. We were in a separate bungalow that had a view of the ocean. Very interesting design of the room. Shower was inside and outside the bungalow. And we also had a little deck with the table to sit and watch sunset. Pool area also serves as breakfast area is very nice. A little walk up the hill. But the view is stunning. Very quite and we found a family of monkeys living right outside the hotel. We stayed for 2 nights. Breakfast was very good. Cooked per order. And juice was super delicious and fresh. ##### Olga Stayed 2 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 16, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice view but far uphill walk We enjoed our stay but there were a few things that could be better. It was difficult to easily walk up and down the hill in the heat. All lights were turned off when we returned at night during our stay so if you wanted to walk, returning would be pitch dark. There was also no internet. It was workin fine in the lobby. Owners were friendly. I agree with other reviewers, the endless pool was nice when it was limited to hotel guests but come 2pm to sunsets, the public comes up to use it and it feels very uncomfortable to be surround by so many random people. I saw a few private 'tours' stop by for the view as well. No longer does it feel like a private oasis. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel Feb 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities AMAZING PLACE, Amazing location, Roger was great! ##### Daniel Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gregory Jul 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was so quite and peaceful, love it!!! ##### Gregory Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jörg May 1, 2024 Very nice boss.

Der Strand ist super und zum surfen ist es wohl eins der besten Surfspots in Costa Rica. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/AFCC1F98450556E9C9BE2DAA2AE7C80B251F8EC41703083405935.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas Dec 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities View was amazing, the extra care to make us feel comfortable was really nice.

The owner Roger and his family have created a one of a kind, laid back, quality establishment that leaves you feeling taken care of and at home. A comfortable place where you can relax and do your thing. They arranged transportation for us, set up massages in our room, and took care of any question or concern we had. Roger's son's Swen and Michael own a local surf shop (Tico Brothers). We took multiple surf lessons with them and Anthony (their other instructor). Hands down, everyone at Vista De Olas, made our experience one of the best we've ever had. Our villa had an outdoor bathroom where we could watch hummingbirds, blue jays and hear the sounds of the ocean. Quiet and restful at night. The sunsets at the pool are a thing of wonder. As has been noted in previous reviews, the pool is open to the public from sunset until about 8 pm. We found this to be a really cool aspect because it provides a sense of community with locals and other travelers. You get to meet people from all over the world and locals who live in the area at the same time. All in all we had a great stay and will definitely be back again as soon as we can. - Jon and Melanie ##### Jonathan Stayed 9 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy Jan 13, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I had the best time here. There are under 10 rooms here, and during the day the place is so quiet, and there is such a wonderful feel. The owner and manager is as nice and friendly as can be. And, the grounds are gorgeous. The staff is wonderful, and the atmosphere is heavenly ##### Amy Stayed 10 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 1, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The view, the pool, the food, the room, it was all perfect.True luxury in total beauty.

The family ownership is great and compared to a lot of other places in the area there is a lot of value in the pricing. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helle Mar 10, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastisk udsigt Det er anden gang, vi besøger Vista de Olas, og vi kommer gerne tilbage. Det er et lille paradis, som Roger og Heidi har skabt, og sammen med deres to sønner og søde personale får de dig til at føle dig hjemme og velkommen. Stedet har en fantastisk infinity pool med en udsigt, der får mange mennesker fra området til at samles for at nyde solnedgangen med en drink og en tur i poolen. Et par timer senere har roen sænket sig over stedet, og man har det igen for sig selv. Vejen op til Vista de Olas er lidt af en udfordring, men der arbejdes på at få den forbedret. Hvis man har en 4-hjulstrækker eller lejer en ATV, er det ikke noget problem. Du kan leje ATV’er på stedet, og det er en rigtig god måde at komme rundt i området. Hvis man er til naturoplevelser, er der mulighed for fine gåture lige uden for døren med masser af fugleliv og måske får du også hilst på en flok brøleaber. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1189-p81aa3b90-1a3b-11e8-8364-4e5751ef2f19-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1383-p460de4c0-241c-11e8-9cbc-0242fed17ade-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s750-p43fb74f0-241b-11e8-9cbc-0242fed17ade-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Helle Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Feb 9, 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Don’t stay here!!!! Windows were missing curtains so the sun came in at 5 am. Broken lights in the room. Staff wasn’t present the entire stay minus bar staff which doesn’t work for the hotel. Charged an extra 17% to the bill because they decided to charge the bill when we get there. Horrible service. Would never go back. Car was blocked in every day when drunk locals would come up to the hotel and be in the pool for free. Drunks tried to fight me. Worst hotel experience in Costa Rica. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven Apr 13, 2024 ##### Steven Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Gilles Nov 15, 2023 ##### Gilles Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Fredric Mar 17, 2023 ##### Fredric Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel & Spa Poco a Poco](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Spa-Poco-A-Poco.h4485115.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulemar Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Tulemar-Resort.h12685352.Hotel-Information) > > [El Faro Containers Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-El-Faro-Containers-Beach-Hotel.h8249200.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Punta Leona](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Punta-Leona.h486442.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Vacation Club at Los Suenos](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Marriott-Vacation-Club-At-Los-Suenos.h60169844.Hotel-Information) > > [Igloo Beach Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-IGLOO-BEACH-LODGE.h46091182.Hotel-Information) > > [Si Como No Resort, Spa and Wildlife Refuge](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Si-Como-No-Resort.h1321388.Hotel-Information) > > [Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Camino-Verde-Bed-Breakfast.h4449816.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Costa Verde](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-Costa-Verde.h5580910.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Grand Jamaica - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Grand-Jamaica-All-Inclusive.h1576054.Hotel-Information) > > [Fiesta Resort Central Pacific - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Barranca-Hotels-Fiesta-Resort-Central-Pacific-All-Inclusive.h692315.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Naoz](https://www.expedia.ca/Manuel-Antonio-Hotels-Hotel-Naoz.h74524806.Hotel-Information) > > [La Vela Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-La-Vela-Boutique-Hotel.h11881555.Hotel-Information) > > [Bosque del Cabo Rain Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Bosque-Del-Cabo-Rain-Forest-Lodge.h11886299.Hotel-Information) > > [Monteverde Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Lodge-Gardens-By-Boena.h4497846.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel San Bada Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-San-Bada.h4247464.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Nantipa - A Tico Beach Experience](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Hotel-Nantipa-A-Tico-Beach-Experience.h28413626.Hotel-Information) > > [Los Suenos Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Los-Suenos-Marriott-Ocean-Golf-Resort.h522999.Hotel-Information) > > [Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Shana-By-The-Beach-Manuel-Antonio.h2351763.Hotel-Information) > > [La Mariposa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-La-Mariposa-Hotel.h119352.Hotel-Information) > > [Incredible Tropical Retreat Full of Monkeys, Sloths, Toucans and much more](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Incredible-Tropical-Retreat-Full-Of-Monkeys.h19220284.Hotel-Information) > > [Tango Mar Beachfront Boutique Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Tango-Mar-Beachfront-Boutique-Hotel-Villas.h903960.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Arenas-Del-Mar-Beachfront-Rainforest-Member-Of-The-Cayuga-Collection.h1484897.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló Tambor](https://www.expedia.ca/Paquera-Hotels-Barcelo-Tambor.h795208.Hotel-Information) > > [Ylang Ylang Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Ylang-Ylang-Beach-Resort.h32536597.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Manila (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/mnl/vancouver-to-manila) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/cun/toronto-to-cancun) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/las/vancouver-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/ywg/vancouver-to-winnipeg) ### Packages > [Cancun Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun.d179995.Destination-Travel-Guides)
