Apartments in El Mastate

"Absolutely amazing hotel , very clean and beautiful. It’s so peaceful there . Food was the best I’ve had in Costa Rica - and we’ve tried a lot , but nothing beats the taste and quality of their meals . Stuff goes above and beyond to assist everyone with all needs and requests. I would love to be back there one day and highly recommend it to anyone."

"2 camas para 3 personas fue incómodo."

"We loved seeing all the wildlife at this hotel. There were monkeys in the trees and we saw Scarlet Macaws. "

"Lovely rooms, delicious breakfast and very convenient to have access to the swimming pools and playa blanca"

"A sweet little place. There was a lovely pool with hammocks and full outside kitchen with large fridge that guests could use. The room was simple but very clean. Bed was a bit firm but comfy. Shower was hot. Our host Laurie was awesome. When we arrived she offered for supper to be prepared for us for a very reasonable fee. We had a delicious vegatable au gratin with rice pudding served on the upper deck. We also were served a wonderful breakfast up on the deck as well. We walked to the beach which was lovely for sunsets but not suitable for swimming. "

"Hotel amenities are old"

"Beautiful property integrated into the jungle, friendly and helpful staff."

"The staff was very friendly, attentive and helpful."

"The views are absolutely breathtaking, easily the standout feature of the property. Whether you’re overlooking the ocean at sunset or walking through the grounds, the scenery is stunning. The property itself is beautifully maintained, with lush landscaping that really adds to the overall experience. Most of the staff around the hotel were warm, welcoming, and very helpful, which made navigating the property and enjoying the amenities easy. That said, the dining experience fell short. The restaurant staff were not as friendly, and the service felt subpar compared to the rest of the hotel. The menu lacked variety, and it felt like there were very limited options—almost like you were stuck eating the same meals repeatedly. Unfortunately, the food itself didn’t stand out either. Because the hotel is quite secluded, you don’t have many alternatives unless you’re willing to travel about 30 minutes into town, which can be inconvenient if you’re relying on the on-site dining. On a positive note, the private beach was a nice feature and a great place to relax and unwind. Overall, Villa Caletas offers incredible views and a beautiful, peaceful setting, but improvements to the restaurant experience and menu variety would make a big difference."
