Mar-a-Villa by Star Villas - Villas for Rent in Playa Hermosa, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica

Really enjoyed our stay. Wonderful location, amazing view. Great host. Very helpful and responsive. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful home, its huge, it’s beautiful, spotless, just amazing. Stunning sunsets, a cool patio, just perfect. The only problem is now i will always compare other houses to this one

Amazing stay! The house was spotless, the rooms were super comfy, and the pool was beautiful. The views were absolutely spectacular—truly breathtaking. The home sits up on a big hill, and the driver package made getting around incredibly easy—the van was very nice and comfortable. The concierge was quick to respond and extremely helpful. The housekeeper made a light breakfast for us and helped make our stay even better. We loved everything about this place and would 100% stay again. Highly recommend!

This was our third stay, and once again it exceeded our expectations. We want to especially recognize Guillermo (our concierge host), Victor (our driver once again), and Armeline, who handled housekeeping and prepared breakfast daily. All three were incredible and consistently went above and beyond, making our family feel completely comfortable and welcome—like it was our own home. The daily recommendations were outstanding. Every restaurant, beach bar, excursion, jet skis, catamaran, and private tour was exceptional. Everything was seamless, easy, and perfectly coordinated. We also truly appreciated the thoughtful birthday gestures, especially since we celebrated three birthdays during our stay. The entire team is professional, responsive, and warm, and this experience is exactly why we keep coming back. We highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for something special. They handled every request quickly and flawlessly.

Our stay at Mar-a-Villa by Star Villas in Playa Hermosa was nothing short of amazing! Diego and his team were incredibly friendly, accommodating, and communicative. The house was stocked with amenities, and they went above and beyond to assist with excursions and kept everything tidy. The staff prepared delicious breakfasts daily, and with twelve of us, we all had plenty of space and private bathrooms. The shared areas were clean, spacious and well-maintained. We couldn't have asked for a better experience Highly recommend

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that your stay at Mar-a-Villa was everything you hoped for and more. It was a pleasure hosting you and your group, and we’re glad that the house, amenities, and our team’s efforts helped make your experience special. We’re also delighted that the space worked well for everyone, and that the breakfasts were a hit! Your recommendation means the world to us, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime. Warm regards, Diego

I spent my 40th birthday with family and friends here and the house was amazing. They do have strict visitor rules for anyone not staying at home so as long as you understand that. Overall we were all very pleased with the home. And the staff. I had an amazing birthday trip to playa hermosa!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Nick! We're so happy to hear that you and your family had an amazing time celebrating your 40th birthday at the house. We strive to create a peaceful environment for all of our guests, and we're glad that you enjoyed the home and the staff. We truly appreciate your understanding of our visitor policy and your kind words. We’d love to host you again for another unforgettable stay! Warm regards, Diego

Perfect experience from beginning to end. The house is amazing - even better than the photos. What stood out most was how helpful and responsive every single member of their team was, from the time we booked the house until they dropped us off at the airport to leave. They respond to every message within minutes. If we wanted a car to pick us up, it was there in minutes. Just an impeccable level of white-glove service each and every time we needed something from them. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much, Spencer, for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience was perfect from start to finish. It’s great to know that both the house and our team exceeded your expectations. Providing exceptional service is our priority, and we’re so happy that we could make your stay as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience! Warm regards, Diego

We had a great stay here. the house is beautiful. housekeeper keeps the place in great condition in their concierge. it's helpful anytime we had issues or had questions. The walk up is quite steep and I would recommend hiring the driver so that you can go around and easily get to your tours or stores that type of thing. it would be good to know ahead of time what supplies are provided so then you don't have to buy them such as coffee, spices, cooking oils, all sorts of wings. overall, a wonderful stay

Thank you so much, Jen, for your thoughtful review! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed the house and had a great stay. We're glad our housekeeper and concierge team could assist you during your time with us. As you mentioned, we always recommend our transportation package and driver for added convenience, especially with the steep walk. It makes getting around and accessing tours and stores much easier. We also appreciate your feedback about supplies and will make sure to provide clearer details for future guests. We’d love to welcome you back for another wonderful stay soon! Best regards, Diego

We just returned from yet another incredible trip to Costa Rica, and once again, Diego and Star Villas exceeded all expectations! Their exceptional communication from the moment we started planning to the moment we left ensured every detail was perfectly coordinated. Diego and his team provided exceptional service every step of the way, anticipating our needs and going above and beyond to make sure this trip was unforgettable for the entire family. We also want to give a special shout-out to Victor, our amazing driver for the week, who made every journey not only comfortable but also fun and engaging. His warmth and kindness truly made us feel welcome. Armaline, our incredible housekeeper, kept our villa spotless and welcoming throughout the week, going above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. And Guillermo, our wonderful concierge, was always available to assist with any requests and made sure our trip was really special. We will see you all next year.

Gracias Patrick! Always a pleasure to have you, we'll see you next year!!

The house is magnificent.  There were nine of us that went for a 50th birthday celebration.  We had a wonderful time.  Everyone was very accommodating and helpful.  The views are breathtaking.

Our family had a fabulous time at the property. The view and entire setting is amazing, more than what we expected. The villa is very spacious and well appointed. Staff was impeccable - travel service, concierge, and housekeeping made the trip extra special. A highly recommend!  The gated community made us feel very safe, and the people in general were all very friendly!

Diego and his team were extremely helpful with lining up drivers and had great tour and restaurant recommendations. The house was absolutely beautiful as well!

I cannot express my gratitude enough for the exceptional experience we had with Star Villas and Diego's incredible team. From start to finish, their service was top-notch, professional, and exceptionally friendly. Star Villas had excellent communication. From the pickup at the airport and throughout our stay, they were always prompt in responding to my inquiries and requests, which made the entire process incredibly smooth and stress-free. We ordered a private chef for breakfast and dinner to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The food, service and presentation exceeded my expectations. All the recommendations from Diego’s team for activities, boating, dinner reservations and places to see were excellent. Again, their communication was impeccable. Star Villas and Diego's team have set the bar incredibly high. I would highly recommend them and this home to anyone looking for a memorable and hassle-free experience. Thank you for an amazing experience, our family will defiantly return.

I don’t know what hoise could be better than this.  First, the pictures don’t do it justice.  The rooms are HUGE.  Every room is a master suite.  The views are incredible. I’ve stayed at some epic Airbnb locations. This is my top pick. You want to rent this house!!!  But only if I’m not trying to rent it.

We had a fantastic stay. Guillermo could not have done more for us. Also Jose the driver was excellent! Never been to Costa Rica before but I strongly recommend it. Extremely hospitable people who take the environment v seriously . House location was great and a lot of things to do in the area. Thank you to the whole team !
