"Unsure what makes this an eco retreat aside from the fact they ask you to bring your own water bottle to refill with water they provide and there is no hot water for showers.

Luxurious Dream 5 bedroom Villa on Costa Rican Coast with breathtaking views

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Villa Bianca was what dreams are made of! We stayed for 2 weeks with our family of 5 and didn’t want to leave! The house was spotless when we arrived and just as beautiful as the listing described. The location was perfect for a secluded getaway but with the accessibility of villages close by! The pool was amazing and the outdoor area only added to the experience. The views and wildlife were incredible! Kitchen was fully stocked and air conditioning worked great! Udo was an incredible house host with great recommendations for beaches and restaurants. Very great and easy to communicate with. We cannot wait to come back and enjoy this beautiful house again! "

Ostional Turtle Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Good A/C, nice sized room. Appreciated the "larger" mini frudge and coffee maker in the room. Very helpful woth local resources and advice on best travel routes. Got to see a mother howler monkey nursing her baby in the tree just adjacent to the room. Room walls are concrete, so couldn't hear anything from adjacent rooms. Much more serene atmosphere than the hectic pace and crowds in Nosara and Guiones beach areas. Would definitely stay again. Thank you, Louie for wonderful hospitality."
