This property and staff are incredible! This was a family vacation with our adult children and six grandchildren, fifteen of us in total. Stephen is a wonderful host. He was so quick to communicate, answer questions, and put our mind at ease. The staff were so amazing…kind and accommodating. The only draw back was the trek to get to and from activities. So know that going in. However, if you want privacy, wildlife, and unforgettable views, the villa has you covered.

Spring Break Getaway

Villa Los Aires is simply breathtaking! Esteban was outstanding as were the housekeeper and the cook. The main concierge was hands off and really left most of the heavy lifting to the staff on site who stepped up and showed us an amazing time! All three of them took great care of us showed us all the wonders that Costa Rica had to offer on the property… the river, the waterfalls, and all of the amazing creatures of nature. Even when some of the group wasn’t feeling great Esteban stepped in to make sure our needs were met, and everybody was on the mend. I highly recommend the property and its staff if you want I truly amazing stay. A couple items of note: the road to the villa is quite mountainous so if you are someone who suffers from motion sickness, be prepared. Also, hot water is sometimes not abundant in the showers, but with the heat and humidity, the cooler showers were often welcomed.

BEST VACATION EVER!

There are so many great things to say about Villa Los Aires that I don't even know where to begin. The staff Esteban, Yesinia, Yinnery and Juan Pablo our driver were unbelievable. The breakfast and dinners were incredible and Esteban helped us book all of our excursions. Esteban took us on a couple of property "jungle tours" which were unforgettable. We saw toucans, a sloth, and howler monkeys right from the backyard. The amount of wildlife that you see from the house alone is indescribable. Stephen the host responded to all of our questions inquiries very quickly. My Family and I cannot wait to come back. If you are looking for the true Costa Rican "Pura Vida" experience look no further.

Paradise

Absolutely beautiful! This was an amazing stay for our family. I've never been more taken care of in any hotel or other lodging. Esteban made everything happen there. Interactive and giving but never intrusive. A truly beautiful place surrounded by nature.

Absolutely amazing!

This property is amazing and everybody should experience it at least once! It sits on 60 acres of raw land with waterfalls, rivers and all kinds of fruit trees (including tiny pineapple growing out front). Jorge is the concierge and there everyday serving breakfast and helping with whatever you need. I highly recommend having the chef come in and prepare your dinners. She is an amazing cook! This property will not disappoint and we look forward to staying here again.

Another Great Time at Villa Los Aires

This was our second stay at the Villa and we enjoyed it immensely once again. 20 in our group ranging from ages 1 to 76. Beautiful property with great customer service by the whole staff. Needs are met promptly and any assistance you request is given their utmost attention. Breakfast by Yinnerie is always a delight and she is such a kind person. The whole staff is so accommodating and we have made great friends on both of our visits. Juan (Macho), Esteban, Maria and Sophia did such a great job engaging with us while not being over-intrusive. We are excited for our next trip to see everyone. Thanks again to Stephen for sharing his home with us for this vacation. Another job well done. Pura Vida!

Too good to be true… but it is!

I read the property details and thought there had to be a catch. But there isn’t. It’s perfect. A true vacation for EVERYONE. Even Mom. Usually a Vrbo with 4 kids (adults now) is just a house in a different place. Mom still has to mom. But with the staff at Los Aires i got to relax too! They picked us up from the airport. The villa was immaculate. The staff amazing. We had them cook four of our dinners as it was less expensive than a restaurant. Food was excellent. They made accommodations for our picky eaters. The view is gorgeous. Toucan. Hummingbirds. Mono Congo. Waterfall. I could return every year. The hike to the swimming area of the river was tricky. Hiking boots a must. Water shoes recommended. Esteban is our new best friend. He is wonderdul. They have two seasons rainy and dry. Go for dry. Rent a car with four wheel drive. This villa is secluded. If you want nightlife and walking access this isn’t the place for you. If you want to relax. Delicious food. Kind service. Clean rooms. Hikes. Waterfalls. Perfect views. Secluded sanctuary. This is exactly what you’re looking for. 9 adults. 16–54yrs everyone had a fantastic time.

Nice private location

Property was beautiful. Getting to it was difficult as we arrived after dark. Villa was not searchable on GPS so I recommend searching Mirador Los Chorros - A restaurant in Alfombra about 10 minutes from the Villa. Call Pablo once you arrive there and he will happily meet you and guide you to villa. Also happens to be a great restaurant to watch a sunset! Drive along coastal highway was an easy 3 hour drive. Have small US bills for the 2 toll booths. Both our vehicles got ripped off on the change. Turn onto 243 for about 25 minutes. You will be happy you got the 4x4 car rental for the last 12 minutes on the dirt road. Pablo was helpful in recommending beaches and restaurants and activities. Playa Linda was nice and quiet but no restaurants or shops. Playa Dominical turned into our go to beach with plenty of restaurants and surf shops. Surf Boards are $10/day and boogie boards are $5/day. Parked right beside the beach so we didn't have any issues with theft. Hiked to the waterfalls on the property. Very beautiful and our 3 grandchildren (4,5 and 8) managed the hike and played in the creek for quite a while. Our group of 9 went zip lining at flight of the toucan ($45 each) plus $8 for the nature hike which was the only place in Costa Rica that we saw monkeys, sloths and a toucan. We ate at the villa 2 nights. Patricia is a very good cook. $20 per person for a 3 course meal was good value. Plenty of restaurants between villa and Dominical. Don't worry about the outside appearance of the restaurant. Food was good everywhere. Bring small American bills as only the tour operators will take 50 and 100 dollar bills. Exchange for $1 us is approximately 500 colons. You will not get us bills back and you will get ripped of on exchange so keep your payments as close to the cost as possible without getting too much change back. Nobody ever appeared to expect a tip but they were greatful to recieve them. Service was always good and cost was always low. They really want your business. Save $29us for the airport departure tax. Overall we had a very good experience. The people were friendly and we felt safe everywhere we went. We'll be back to costa rica again some day.

Good trip

We stayed at Villa Los Aires in February 2014 for 6 nights. We had a great time. The use is beautiful and the views are breathtaking. Viviana and her husband did a great job accommodating us. They were extremely helpful and flexible with out big group of people. They did a great job cooking meals for us, and accommodating members of our group with food allergies. Viviana set up snorkeling and white water rafting trips for us, both of which we're amazing. She also recommending a certain company for zip lining which we ended up doing on our own. Again, it was an amazing time. We couldn't have asked for better caretakers. Here are a few things people may want to consider before renting: 1. One of the rooms in the main house does not have AC. 2. The weather was beautiful. No rain, no wind, sunny days, yet the house is in the mountains of Central America which is why I think we lost power almost everyday we were there. Once we lost power for about 12 hours, but according to Viviana the whole area did. It was from approximately 10pm to 10am. It must happen pretty often since all the rooms are equip with battery powered LED light strips which was helpful. The unhelpful thing is about half of them didn't work, and none of them worked in our room. To use the bathrooms we took pool water in a 5 gallon jug and hauled it up to our rooms to fill the toilet tank. We were okay with all of this because it's all part of the adventure. But I think it would be helpful for others to know. 2. The hot water didn't work in our bedroom for the first 2 days we're were there and the cold water didn't work in the upstairs bedroom the entire time we were there. 3. The hottub didn't work while we were there which out of everything was probably the one thing we were disappointed about. The nights were cool and it was perfect hottub weather. 4. One screen in our bedroom windows was old and had tears in it. One tear was quite large. 5. The chess set was ill maintained with spider webs all over it and debris on the board. 6. Their website says the hiking trails are maintained, but they are not. There is a large waterfall pictured on their website, but the trail is no longer there. We never found it after a day of hiking. We had a great time at Villa Los Aires. Thank you very much

Epic Getaway!

We traveled with two other families, 6 adults, 7 kids age 5-16 and had the BEST time here. The staff were all so gracious and friendly. Esteban is a complete gem. He helped us learn about Costa Rica, taught us about all the plants and wild life, helped us with our Spanish and was just generally a joy to have present. We went horseback riding at the falls (definitely recommend) and went to Manuel Antonio national park (also recommend with a guide!). We had dinner cooked for us several nights and ate at a couple of the local restaurants. Mirador Los Chorros (on the hill at the turn) was one of our favorites:) can’t say enough great things about this spot. We’re already scheming for how we can make it back!

Amazing Villa and Fantastic Staff Fantastic!!!

We chose this property because it was beautiful, secluded, and would accommodate our family of twelve adults ranging in age from 55 to 90. When we arrived, we were amazed by the Villa, foliage, and views. Our host, Stephen, who was very responsive to our questions before we reserved the property and throughout the process, was there to meet us. We also met the wonderful staff that would be with us throughout our stay. Esteban, Yenesi, Sophia, Juan Jose, and Alonzo were attentive to all of our needs and requests. The breakfasts and dinners were delicious and served like we were in a fine restaurant! We spent most of our time at the Villa, enjoying the various seating areas that afforded the opportunity to see wonderful views of the fantastic birds of Costa Rica, guided walks around the property, stunning views of the valley and forest surrounding us, the pool, and garden spa. Juan Jose arranged for nine of us to visit Nauyaca Waterfalls. All of us visited San Gerardo de Dota hoping to see the Resplendent Quetzal, which we didn't see, but we did stop at Savegre to have lunch and enjoy the gardens full of gorgeous hummingbirds. One day eight of us headed to Arco Beach to enjoy the hike to the ocean to see the caves. We saw birds and White-faced monkeys along the way and enjoyed drinks and food at La Cusinga afterwards. Two members of our family enjoyed walking the Whale Tail in Uvita. We fell in love with the place and the Staff! Our Mom was treated like a Queen. Pura Vida!

This place is beyond amazing!!!!!!

My husband and I stayed in this beautiful home for 8 whole days for our delayed honeymoon and what a treat! The place is unbelievably gorgeous! The house, the view and the property, we were in awe! The staff went above and beyond to take care of us. They cooked for us, cleaned, did our laundry, we were so spoiled by the time we left! They helped us figure out what to do and where to go and were exceptional. We made some great memories and plan to return and take the whole family! I cannot say enough about how much we loved it and what a fantastic experience it all was.

Amazing Lifetime Experience

Our family of 9 adults and 7 children was thrilled with our time at Villa Los Aires. The house and environs are to die for with a great pool, wonderful accommodations (air conditioned bedrooms, clean, comfortable, quiet), gathering places, endless views, great hot tub, incredibly private, and an exceptional staff....... The extended property even better with hikes, waterfalls, a river, birds, and natural beauty. The only downside of this adventure is the "getting there." It is a four wheel very bumpy and long ride in and out of the property. But, if it is adventure you are seeking, that is not enough to discourage.

A wonderful experience

We used the entire main villa for a retreat and we were treated to a wonderful experience. Esteban and his team were very engaging, and provided excellent service - especially when we extended our stay a few days. We were guided to waterfalls, were sent pictures of the animals we saw while there, and were made sure to have rides when needed for our entire party. We will definitely use Villa Los Aires again. The only challenge was the water pressure in the shower in the tower room. It was only a trickle of water most of the time

Paradise!

Although we had nonstop rain, our stay at the villa was amazing! Transportation was as prearranged and we are so grateful for the drivers getting us to the villa and to activities. Juan Jose, the manager, was easy to communicate with regarding meals and arranging activities. Esteban, the host, is a great source of information about the local flora and fauna(and a fun domino player), Yesenia kept the villa spotless as well as providing amazing meals with Yinnery. They were also kind enough to let a couple of us in the kitchen for a cooking lesson of local dishes(and kept their smiles!). We will definitely come back to enjoy this piece of paradise!

We will NEVER forget this week!!! The House IS AMAZING... The staff is better. 5 Star service from Estephan and "The Ladies" and Juan and Alonso helped us with all our excursions. Breakfast every morning was a treat. THE JUNGLE is crazy good. Waterfalls and river exploring was so much fun. Shout out to enry and Norma at Dominical Adventures for the best surf lessons and instructors. Beyond everything we could have hoped for....we even met the owner while he was working on the property.

A little piece of heaven

We were a family of 7 so lots of space for all! After a long nighttime drive we arrived to this beautiful home, greeted by the amazing staff and owner. It really is a wonderful home and property where great memories were made and everyone one unwinded and relaxed and enjoyed the amenities the property offered. We did a few excursions - zip lining, ATVing, Beach and National Park but looked forward to returning to our”Costa Rican” home. The property has lots to discover - Esteban took us on a couple of hikes to the waterfalls - he is a fountain of information and we learned a lot about the fauna and flora. Breakfasts were delicious and plentiful . The beauty of this place, besides the scenery, is the amazing staff who were there for whatever we needed and felt like family during our stay. They went over and above, from changing a flat tire to being up for three who had to leave for home at 5:00 a.m. and having coffee and breakfast for them (told them not to get up - we would grab something ourselves) but there they were with big smiles on their faces. This was a true Costa Rican experience and would highly recommend it to everyone. I will warn you to be prepared for the drive to the property, 4 wheel drive a must - but isn’t this a part of the whole experience!

A slice of paradise

This is an absolutely amazing property. Pictures can’t do it justice. After a long ride from the airport to get there, we stepped onto the front porch all of our jaws dropped. We couldn’t believe we were staying in this place. Amazingly friendly and helpful staff, the property with these awesome hikes down to the river in the waterfalls. Unless you’re familiar with Costa Rica would definitely encourage you to rent the vehicle from the concierge or he will personally show for you wherever you want to go. He also help make any type of reservations, meals and anything else. Can’t say enough about the staff. Just double.
