The house is absolutely stunning. It is spacious, beautifully designed, and perfect for families or groups. Each of the four bedrooms has its own private bathroom, and the open-concept kitchen, dining, living area, and deck overlooking the pools create a wonderful space to relax together. The views are breathtaking, and the surrounding flora and wildlife make the property feel truly special. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and appreciated the beauty of the home and its location. The only aspect that could be improved is communication. During an unexpected situation, we made several attempts to reach the host by phone but were unable to connect. More timely communication would have been appreciated. Without a doubt, we would recommend this property to anyone looking for an exceptional place to stay in Santa Teresa. It is a truly beautiful home in a spectacular setting.

Villa Ayla was the perfect location for our family (me, my husband, three adult children and spouses and grandson). The four separate bedrooms each with its own private bathroom were ideal. The location high on the hill provided breezes and beautiful views to the ocean. We cooled down in the two pools, the shallow one perfect for the 17 month old to play in. The directions and check in instructions made our arrival easy. The wildlife outside our doors provided entertainment. Howler monkeys, raccoon, frogs, geckos, iguanas, butterflies, and birds were in abundance. The monkeys and frogs were loud, but to be expected in this area! Issues were handled very fast and with minimal hassle to us. We loved staying here and would be happy to return.

We had an incredible experience in this house. It's perfect for going with friends, as it has large and very comfortable spaces to share. What we loved the most was that it is surrounded by vegetation and nature, which gives it a super relaxing and private atmosphere. Waking up to the sound of nature and having the beach nearby means you can really disconnect from stress. Everything was clean, well equipped and as shown in the photos. The host was very helpful throughout the stay. We would definitely come back. Highly recommended for groups looking for rest, nature, and good times!

We arrived at night, and access is not 100% clear; I recommend arriving during the day. The nearby route is noisy at times. The house is very good, spacious, and comfortable, and the location is perfect.

Fiona was a great host. She helped setup transportation from the airport to the Airbnb home, had several atvs ready for us at the home so we can travel around town and was an all around great host. The home was exactly as promised in a serene and private location. Highly recommended.

Magical! We loved our stay here. The view, the monkeys in the backyard, the pool, everything was great.

Great place to stay. Very peaceful , fully sorrounded by nature . I highly recommend this house . The communication with the team running this place is fantastic and they have been very very kind and professional .

Great cafe near by good spacious place

Beautiful villa, very spacious and very luxurious. Very well located in the middle of the jungle. Lots of animals that we see and hear. 100% recommended.

The house is sublime. The view and the environment are amazing. The services are of very high quality. Perfect stay.

The accommodation is beautiful, with a very nice view of the sea and the mountains. It's designed so that guests can share common spaces, but still have their much-needed privacy and intimacy. The rooms are spacious, with an excellent atmosphere, quiet and inviting to rest. The bathroom area is also beautiful, full of comfort and good taste. It was a beautiful experience for our group and we felt comfortable at all times. The pools are also designed for comfort and relaxation, as well as the wonderful panoramic deck. The truth is, it was a stay in which we felt very comfortable.

Great location. Challenging to get to initially* but an absolute oasis on top of the hill. The set up with 4 suite style rooms was perfect for our family and would be ideal for a group or for as many as 4 couples with lots of privacy and such a lovely open floor plan common area. Just as pictured in the listing. Clean rooms, great A/C in the bedrooms. We did have an issue with the kitchen sink water supply malfunctioning - not something the host could have predicted, and given the inconvenience they were very responsive in trying to get it fixed and making accommodations. *Detailed instructions and photos were provided, but we arrived at night in the rain and definitely would not recommend that, especially as the hill you drive up is a dirt road that washes out when it rains. Probably only an issue in the wet or borderline wet/dry season (we came first week of Dec) but just an FYI since even our 4x4 car got stuck several times!

incredibly beautiful, peaceful, tucked into the forest with ocean view on the deck, monkeys and birds all around. Fiona our point person was lovely and responsive and attended to our needs. everything was comfortable and clean, beautiful kitchen to cook and feel at home, incredible outdoor bathrooms. short drive down the (scary) hill into town / beach. need 4 wheel drive and a high clearance vehicle 100% or you won't make it. absolutely recommend and hope to return. thank you!!
