The house was impeccable in so many ways. Super comfortable beds, great linens, amazing view to wake up to. Perfect view of the sunset directly in front of the house. Super clean and well kept up. All the staff were sweet and amazing and extremely responsive. Would not hesitate to book here again or one of their other amazing houses.

Loved this villa. Very immersed in the jungle. Downstairs is totally open air and screened in. Upstairs has closed doors and is air conditioned. Clean, modern, great and comfortable accommodations. Beautiful ocean and jungle view. Just up the road from Central Santa Teresa. Could have asked for much else. There is parking on villa property with a gate that closes with a remote. Super safe.

Wir haben uns sofort wohl und wie zu Hause gefühlt. Die Aussicht ist wunderschön, die Natur direkt vor den Füssen. Wir wären länger geblieben, wenn wir die Zeit gehabt hätten. Vielen Dank, dass ihr uns den Aufenthalt unvergesslich gemacht habt.

Villa makai was amazing right in the heart of Santa Teresa everything was extremely close. The concierge service provided was first class as they were there for your every need and answer any questions or concerns right away. Place is beautiful and we loved it. Important to note property is up a steep hill that is paved and unpaved so we used ATVs to get up and down.

The place was really nice and the views are really beautiful, also the staff is always very friendly, the only thing to consider is that the kitchen and living room area does'nt have an A/C sistem, and it can get very hot during the day, other wise i very much enjoyed my stay

A todos nos encantó , que temga piscina privada lo cual es un éxito para tener los chicos a la vista y accesible a la hora que la quieran usar. Excelente ubicación, dentro de la naturaleza pero a la vez súper cerca del centro , la calle hacia la casa no es tan empinada como otros lugares de la zona Impecable todo muy limpio , Josefina muy atenta. Mucha naturaleza rodea la casa lo cual es lindo estar allí, muy relajante la casa. hasta la parrilla utilizamos. Para las que van con niños y quieren cocinar lo único es que No tiene microondas lo cual todos sentados apenas se sirve para que no se enfríe xq si no toca calentar en la cocina , sin embargo es un pequeño detalle,nada que no se pueda resolver o bien llevar el de la casa es fácil. Definitivamente un lugar al que regresaremos.

We had a wonderful stay at the house. The view of the sea is absolutely stunning, and the peaceful surroundings made it the perfect place to disconnect and relax. Waking up to the sound of nature was a real treat. The house is comfortable, well-equipped, and blends beautifully into the natural setting. We truly enjoyed every moment and would love to return.

We had the best time at Villa Makai! Josefina was amazing to work with and was super responsive and helpful with local recommendations and helping us secure an ATV for our arrival. The house was unreal, with ocean views and open concept. Amazing appliances and grill, making it easy to feel at home!!! The beds were unreal comfortable and the cleaning service daily was such a nice touch to keep it feeling fresh!!! we loved the location of this spot as well, in the heart of town, but just far enough up the road so that you could escape the craziness. We love ST! Thanks again :)
