Great place to stay

Beautiful setting and spectacular view from our room. The pool is beautiful! The beach is nice, but access to the water is a bit challenging. The service in the restaurant is a bit slow, but not a huge deal, considering the view. All of the food was excellent, as were the cocktails

Legendary views!

It is one of the most beautiful and romantic spots in Costa Rica. The stunning views are legendary. But there is a lot of stairs and incline, so be prepared. But don’t miss this beautiful place.

This is one of Costa Rica’s original luxury hotels and a member of the Small, Distinctive Hotels family. Like a castle perched high on a mountain top overlooking Herradura and Javi - Sunsets and dining here are some of the best in Costa Rica. Come here for the views and history, and dining!

Even though it was completely booked, it felt the opposite. Private, secluded and friendly, not to mention breathtakingly beautiful at every turn, we felt like we were one of only a few there. Food and atmosphere was top-notch. Service was exceptional. Would love to return with my entire family one day!

A Perfect Hotel

a this is always a perfect place. The rooms are palatial. Everything is spotlessly clean. If a hotel can be perfect this one is. Spa services are great. Food is great. Location is beyond compare. The views are breathtaking. Staff is great. its worth every penny.

The quality of the service has dramatically decrease. The staff at the receptions are not locals and their knowledge of the hospitality world is null, this was the worst check in and check out process. Not long ago, this was one of the best boutique hotels in Puntarenas. The place is beautiful, the staff seems they don’t care their job. The restaurant is expensive and they are not willing to make small changes in the menu even if the price is 4x what you will pay on average in any other place. Enjoy the view, don’t expect a good treatment from their staff.

Just stayed one night. We have been there in the past to enjoy the view and lunch with friends . First time overnight. Room wasn’t comfortable old furnishings and not even close to getting your money’s worth. I guess it is all about the View.

The Villa Caletes is one of my favorite places. The setting and views are amazing. The hotel is exquisite- with architecture matching some of the most luxury inns in the world. It does not disappoint in this regards. I was somewhat disappointed with the bed this time. I could feel and hear the springs. I will be back for the view but might stay elsewhere.

The property is gorgeous, the views are amazing. But: Our sheets had a red stain, it seems like blood. The restaurant is way too expensive, and I'm not saying this blindly, you can tell the food quality is below average. (We are locals, we know what you can buy and how much it costs). We got bread during our lunch, they gave us toasts, and clearly from the day before or who knows when. We order a hamburger and a pita, the bread wasn't totally fresh. The oil used for the French fries was cheap smelly oil, a nightmare for the stomach. We got sick. We order a couple of Aperol Spritz (priced at $24 each, not even in Europe), the proportions and the mix were totally wrong, it was almost all prosecco and was missing enough Aperol. I know this because I make my own drinks, and my best friend is freaking good at it, so we've been studying the recipe for over a year. When I told the waiter about it, he asked me what's wrong, I tried to explain, and when I told him it wasn't properly mixed, he replied back, saying that was normal because of the liquor density... I came out rude saying I wasn't going to argue with him about how to do it, that we wanted a new drink. He insisted on knowing what was wrong or he was going to be charged for it. So that tells me that restaurant is poorly managed, I told him if that was the case then I'll pay them, but he said it was fine, that he already talked to his boss. The restaurant killed it for us, not planning on going back.

The property itself is breathtaking. The staff is top notch! Unfortunately the original hiking trail was closed due to the country’s struggle to get back to normal after the pandemic. Transportation into town is costly so it’s best to rent a vehicle if you can. Property not recommended for small children.

Very beautiful location. The views from this property are stunning. We had a private hot tub with our room and that was great to have. The restaurant was nice, a little pricey and they didn’t offer a free breakfast. Parking is also a little awkward and it’s not within walking distance to anything. We had a car and were able to come and go without a problem. But the property itself, gorgeous. The rooms were clean and beautiful and the staff were all very friendly! Would definitely recommend.

Mixed bag

I booked this room based on the amazing review but I overall had a mixed experience ! Positive- the good part of this property is the location, it’s very near Jaco beach and around bunch of restaurants . The views from the room and restaurant is amazing and you would really njoy the sunsets . We also loved the architecture it was really nice, the lobby, room decor and the terrace. The room cleaning staff was meticulous and made nice cute design of towels each day for us. Negative- 1. It seems we arrived during a wedding event . I would expect a 4 star hotel to plan accordingly . However we had to park quite far from the reception as the parking was full . Note we were not super late to check in we had arrived, around 4 pm. Secondly we were told they could sit us for dinner only after 8 pm due to the wedding . We had booked months in advance they should have planned better. 2. During dinner we were told that there is nothing vegetarian except 1 salad. In today’s date for a 4 star property not having any vegetarian option was really disappointing. The person who took the order also did not offer anything like a pasta with no meat or something. We are global travelers and in our experience, such restaurants ( where there is nothing vegetarian ) - generally they offer to cook the same dish but without meat, here they did nothing ! Very disappointing ! We ended up getting good food from Jaco which was cheaper :) 3. Maintenance of the property is poor - while the architecture is

Place was very clean and nice, but that’s about it. Hot water didn’t work so we took cold showers. Asked one guy and told him what room we were in and he said he’d let them know. Never got fixed. Water for the toilet ran at all times. I tried to fix it because I was still waiting on them to fix the shower but that didn’t happen, so I gave up and just let it run. I’ve been going there for years to the pool and pool bar and never had an issue. I had read some reviews about bad service but I didn’t think it would be that bad. I was wrong, it was horrible. The dining was not good, food quality or service. I wasn’t even going to leave any kind of review until I finally had enough today. My wife went to the pool bar to order us some drinks and no staff was there. Waited 10 mins and still nothing, so she went upstairs to the bar by the restaurant. The bartender told her he’d be down there in a few. 22 minutes later, still no bartender. Went back upstairs to order drinks, and she finally came down with a beer that was barely chilled, was more warm than chilled. So I went upstairs and the other bartender was apologetic but at that point I wasn’t happy. It’s frustrating paying a premium at what seems like the nicest place in Jaco area and have that bad of food, service, etc. I will never again go there and I've been going there since 2017. Sad to see such a nice place be such a disappointment.
