6BR Villa in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca

Kévin

Excellent, 4 weeks ago

The place is even better than in the photos. We saw lots of animals on the property. It's really a beautiful place. I recommend it 100%.

We absolutely loved our stay at Las Palomas Villa. The experience was top-notch! Stephen, the property owner was very responsive. However, the true gem of the property was the manager, Ana. Age was kind, responsive, gave local recommendations, and provided concierge services to help book excursions and restaurants. The surrounding rainforest and sounds were delightful. The pool was pristine and the perfect activity for hot, humid days. Having a functional kitchen with stove was awesome. We look forward to coming again.

Hi Melissa! So happy to hear your group had an awesome time. We will make sure Ana sees your wonderful comments. Safe travels home and see you next time!

The villas and space are so wonderful. We saw most of the wildlife from just our decks . I appreciated and we all thoroughly enjoyed the thoughtful layout of the grounds and the beautiful job that was done to preserve the wild life surrounding. Having explored the area, I can see how fortunate we were to be so immersed in the forest . Lastly, but by far most importantly, Ana was a a treasure. I would have trusted her with our passports . For some of our group this is the farthest they have traveled and the most removed they’ve been from their comfort zone. She was kind, accommodating, and readily available. She put us all at ease. She is a wonderful asset to the grounds. We traveled as a group of 11 the 3 villas were perfect ! I cannot say enough wonderful things about our time here. Some of us will Absolutely be back. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Hi Caroline! Thank you so much for the wonderful review and the kind words about Ana. We are very blessed to have her, as well as our other employees who work hard to make sure our guests have the best vacation as possible. We hope your travels back home went well and would love to welcome you back sometime in the future!

We all enjoyed our stay. The location was ideal to attend our Son's wedding and close to the beach and other activities as described. The pool was nice and the on-site staff were responsive to our issues and requests. I would recommend the Palomas Villas to larger groups, but would also note they need to pay attention to sleeping arrangements. Overall, a great and enjoyable visit.

Hello William! We are glad to hear you enjoyed the location, pool and our team's support throughout your stay. We were also happy to hear that the weather cooperated in time for the wedding ceremony! We also appreciate your note about the sleeping arrangements. Just to clarify for our future guests: Each villa's bedroom and bed set up is listed in detail, along with photos on our booking platforms so groups can plan ahead based on their needs. We also reach out to our guests via messaging before their arrival date to discuss group make-up - such as single friends, families, couples, etc. to make sure everyone is accommodated for. Unfortunately, in your case, we did not receive any return communication to discuss the sleeping possible arrangements. Again, it was great hosting you and we would be more than happy to welcome you back sometime. Cheers to your son and new wife for a long and happy marriage :-)

This location was so peaceful and immersed in the natural environment which I loved! We woke up to the sounds of birds, monkeys and rain which gave the ambiance such a tranquil feeling. The multiple villas were perfect for our large group. A great community feel without being on top of one another. The bathrooms were great and bedrooms cozy. Ana was so helpful in finding recommendations dining, transportation and activities. I would definitely stay again!

What a fantastic place. Aaron and Ana were amazing. Ana went out of her way to help at every opportunity . She was super responsive to our questions and needs even out of hours. She arranged everything for use from before arrival to day trips like snorkelling and zip line tours. Aaron was superb, he helped us whenever we needed him and even during a power cut from the main grid was super responsive and helpful. This place is so amazing we are going to book again next year as my kids and I fell in love with the Costa Rican Jungle. They even have a Sloth called Milton who lives above the pool area ! If you want a genuine jungle experience this is the place for you .

Hi Darren! Thanks for such an awesome review! We are so happy you and your group had a fantastic stay. Can't wait to see you next year! :-)

Las Palomas is off the main road to avoid the noise and is like an oasis. We enjoyed the wildlife on the property and the houses were lovely and well appointed. Anna helped us with transportation which we greatly appreciated and was always responsive. We would definitely come back.
