The owners went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and comfortable (during rainy season) and also helped us with booking our next tour destination. Food was excellent, try the avocado toast! We slept so comfortably on the softest sheets in an ambient lit room and the private balcony was great for extra relaxation. I would not stay anywhere else when visiting this area again! ##### Alisha ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa Ross Feb 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed my stay here. Every detail has been considered. The room was beautiful, the food was delicious and the staff went above and beyond to make sure every part of our visit was amazing.

Beautiful room with our own rooftop terrace with sun beds and comfy sofas for a relaxing pre dinner drink. Breakfast was excellent. We also had an evening meal which was also excellent. Probably our best meal of our three week stay in Costa Rica. Marc was the perfect host not intrusive but there when ever you needed anything. Perfect way to end our trip ##### Cheryl Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Georgia Mar 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This was one of the most beautiful, clean, and peaceful environments we have ever stayed in. Marc was personable, accommodating, and truly made our stay one of the most memorable parts of the trip. A friend and I stayed here for Envision Festival and did not realize it was a 30-minute drive to and from the festival. Marc drove us all the way into Uvita himself one of the days and set up a driver for us who would take us in the morning and pick us up late at night (2 AM sometimes) to get us home safely. Marc served us breakfast and coffee himself every morning and always asked about our day. When we would return to the villa at night we were welcomed home with peaceful music and automatic lights that would turn on to guide us up to our room - where we found our bed made, clothes folded, and towels replenished every day. The property itself is stunningly beautiful. Rafael and Marc truly poured their creative and tasteful style into this jungle oasis and it shows through every detail. There was construction happening on the property while we were there, but it did not interrupt our stay at all, and it seems like it's going to be a great addition! We are excited to come back and would highly recommend Vayu Retreat Villas to anyone looking for a quiet oasis in Costa Rica! ##### Georgia Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Jan 23, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Outstanding, and the perfect end to a travel and tour-filled vacation. Vayu is an idyllic retreat, nestled in the jungle, surrounded by trees and the sounds of nature. We were even visited by a pair of inquisitive toucans. The rooms are huge - clean and a bed with bedding more comfortable than home. Everything has been perfectly considered - design and integration of technology (most notably the lighting and sound systems). The pool is lovely for a dip to cool off, but beaches are close if you want the sea. 12 minutes drive is a cute set of cafe/restaurants, however the food on site is delicious. The set breakfast (changing daily) and dinner (and additional $60pp for set three-courses) were simple but excellently executed and tasty. The star of this place is Marc - he is Vayu. The amount of care and love he has put into their baby (sorry we didn't meet Rafael) projects into the care and attention he respectfully gives his guests throughout their stay. He is always on hand to assist, and nothing is ever too much trouble for him to help with. We would recommend staying here for a quiet and relaxing few days. A perfect end to a fantastic holiday. ![Exterior view of hotel from the swimming pool](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/131d9c49-d195-40af-bfd6-8dc0f0012aaf-1769208564902.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Bedroom: sitting area across to the bedrokm ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/25216b14-5cf0-486a-bd26-917932200e87-1769208574842.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Kitchenette with coffee maker, kettle, sink and fridge](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/67ab4ed6-995c-4ed4-bb53-0056742b30af-1769208584440.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Private patio and sunterrace ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cbb55493-4801-4045-9999-32dfb9c36117-1769208596271.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Malene Sep 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lækkert Super hotel Virkelig lækkert selvom det ikke ligge ved byen Super søde værter og området er bare fantastisk Det kan godt betale sig at tage nogen bade sko på og gå en tur i floden/ vandløbet og bare nye Nature ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1bf1b443-fada-4ed3-907a-2e4aa1fb467b-1757336743581.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/93407d91-8eb9-4e74-940b-bc5a803dc07e-1757336744757.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1fdd52ff-cd7a-44e9-927e-4c1597de7487-1757336742915.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3d49a7c0-3c64-4f38-9c97-9202476985be-1757336744329.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Malene Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Anna-Karin Jan 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Trevligt och lugnt litet ställe Lugnt och avslappnande. Väldigt sköna sängar! Vackert inrett. Lite problem med termostaten till duschen som antingen ville bli väldigt varm eller helt kall. Marc och Rafael är fantastiskt gästvänliga, serviceinriktade, hjälpsamma och trevliga. ##### Anna-Karin Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim Jan 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Super séjour! Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à Vayu retreat. Marc et Rafael sont passionnés et attentionnés jusque dans les détails. La chambre, les lieux, la piscine, l’accès à la rivière ainsi que le restaurant et les occasionnelles soirées chantantes sont délicieuses. Les plages et autres activités sont à proximité si vous disposez d’un véhicule (recommandé ). Nous ne pouvons que recommander cet endroit si vous recherchez le calme et la douceur de vivre au Costa Rica! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6F30C0EF4EBD304CBD688C51DF1E409389A92F461673909481014.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/83DC6F76A03A346519071F57E0A65F1F838627E81673909481417.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kim Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark May 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities ##### Mark Stayed 7 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ozlem Feb 19, 2025 ##### Ozlem Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Tulemar Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Tulemar-Resort.h12685352.Hotel-Information) > > [FLORBLANCA HOTEL ](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-FLORBLANCA-HOTEL.h106700174.Hotel-Information) > > [ECOTICA Boutique Hotel & Spa.](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Byblos-Resort-Casino.h1449546.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Cedro - Portasol Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Casa-Cedro-Portasol-Vacation-Rentals.h26758340.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Punta Leona](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Punta-Leona.h486442.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló Tambor](https://www.expedia.ca/Paquera-Hotels-Barcelo-Tambor.h795208.Hotel-Information) > > [Parador Nature Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-Parador-Resort-And-Spa.h1752985.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Tico Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ciudad-Cortes-Hotels-Rio-Tico-Safari-Lodge.h94627934.Hotel-Information) > > [Believe Surf & Yoga Lodge Santa Teresa - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Surf-Yoga-Lodge-Santa-Teresa-Costa-Rica-Hostel.h46082350.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Costa Verde](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Hotel-Costa-Verde.h5580910.Hotel-Information) > > [Selina Manuel Antonio - Hostel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Selina-Manuel-Antonio.h16878783.Hotel-Information) > > [El Faro Containers Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-El-Faro-Containers-Beach-Hotel.h8249200.Hotel-Information) > > [Mango Moon Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Mango-Moon-Villa.h15203473.Hotel-Information) > > [Punta Leona Playa Blanca COSTA RICA Sport Fishing ](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Punta-Leona-Playa-Blanca-Herradura-Costa-Rica-Sport-Fishing.h33307490.Hotel-Information) > > [Si Como No Resort, Spa and Wildlife Refuge](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Si-Como-No-Resort.h1321388.Hotel-Information) > > [La Mariposa Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-La-Mariposa-Hotel.h119352.Hotel-Information) > > [Los Altos Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Los-Altos-Resort.h3444310.Hotel-Information) > > [The Falls Resort at Manuel Antonio](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-The-Falls-Resort-At-Manuel-Antonio.h4112811.Hotel-Information) > > [Terrazas del Golfo ](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Terrazas-Del-Golfo.h100473571.Hotel-Information) > > [ Luxury Beachfront Villa with private pool at Nantipa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Villas-Nantipa.h70823032.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) > > [Igloo Beach Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-IGLOO-BEACH-LODGE.h46091182.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabinas Brisa Del Mar](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Cabinas-Brisa-Del-Mar.h88738207.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa CARAMBOLA of Villas Solar, Walk to Beach, Best Surf, Market & Restaurants](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Villa-Carambola-Of-Villas-Solar.h31566690.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas de la Selva](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Villas-De-La-Selva.h11096805.Hotel-Information) > > [Yuli Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ballena-Hotels-Yuli-Hotel.h88489827.Hotel-Information) > > [Surfside Apartments Playa Carmen](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Surfside-Santa-Teresa.h45545396.Hotel-Information) > > [Banana Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Banana-Beach-Bungalows.h13315109.Hotel-Information) > > [La Vela Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-La-Vela-Boutique-Hotel.h11881555.Hotel-Information)
