We so enjoyed our time at Villas del Rey, it was very good for our situation with hosting a wedding, reception and housing guests at the same time!! John, Olivier and others were very helpful...as I'm sure you know, the clubhouse kitchen could be updated but all the basics were there and we so appreciate you letting us use them, including serving dishes, glassware and silverware and cookware!....unforgettable not only because it was a family wedding, but the properties and acreage were great!! we loved being able to use the local flowers for our wedding decor! amazingly beautiful and diverse! soooo Costa Rican!! thank you!!

Bueno al llegar al lugar pude ver que esta casa no es nada lujosa como lo presentan acá. Lo único que puedo rescatar es la atención del administrador del lugar el señor John o Johnnie súper atento y amable. Por lo demás la casa está bastante descuidada, por un precio adicional te alquilan la “Casa Club” que es un asco! La cocina una pocilga, sucia y descuidada. El agua de la piscina estaba turbia y re sucia. Las casas huelen HORRIBLE, las camas llenas de polvo, sillones rotos, la vegetación muerta, el lugar súper descuidado un completo desastre! Nos fuimos de ahí y por la mitad del precio que pagamos aquí conseguimos dos apartamentos DE LUJO en Jacó. La publicidad en este sitio es engañosa, nos fuimos de ahí corriendo!! El lugar tiene potencial pero necesitan ponerle amor e invertirle. No se acerca a la realidad de lo que se ve en la página. La publicidad es engañosa. ESTA CASA NO ES LUJOSA

We just got back from a company retreat (we are 10 people) and this location / accommodation and all the the things you can arrange on the side was perfect. There was nothing Olivier and his team couldn't do for us to make the stay as exceptional as possible - even driving us into town to get a USB keyboard when one of our laptops misted up with the humidity, or booking a photographer for us at the last minute. We essentially went for the 'full service' which mean we had a wonderful cook, Blanca cook us 3 meals a day - lots of traditional Costa Rican food, a bit different every day, but always with delicious rice and beans. She served us homemade juices from all the local fruits, and introduced us to some strange and wonderful fruits and seeds to snack on. There is a professional, friendly, and helpful team working in the house to support us, John, Anabelle and Marina - all very welcoming. The villas are really big, well equipped - mostly with 1 double 1 twin beds, each with their own en suites (which meant it was easy and comfortable for colleagues to share) but I could see the whole set up would suit several families wanting to holiday together. There's aircon when you need it, but actually we got used to the humidity pretty quickly, and there's a lovely pool to cool down in. Olivier was extremely helpful in arranging 1st class trips for us (we opted for the Tortuga Island, snorkelling and ziplining / ATV) with tour managers who put on a professional, well organised and safe activities for us. They turned up on time, their drivers were friendly and didn't drive too fast, we really felt taken care of. Internet was perfectly good most of the time for us to work together, there's even a massive souvenir shop right opposite the estate so you don't have to go far to pick up local bits and bobs. But more importantly - we absolutely loved Costa Rica. There are stunning landscapes, beaches, mountains and valleys - the locals are friendly and open, it's truly a paradise and we all vowed we would be back under our own steam to explore more of the country. Pura Vida!

Such an amazing experience. Very relaxing. My entire family loved the property. Best sleep most of us have had in months. And we all fell in love with Annabelle the manager and Blanca our chef. Sweetest people on earth. Great service and hospitality from both ladies. We rented the entire property for 15 people and enjoyed every inch of it. Each house was so authentic, with all needed items available. Each house had a TV but to be honest, we barely needed it. A lot of nature surrounding each house which was perfect. A lot of mango and cashew trees and we ate enough of them. If you like nature and good morning hikes, this is the place. We had a memorable moment with the monkeys which made the trip worth it. Only one downside for me, was the ADT alarm went off while i was sleeping but Anna took care of it immediately. Maybe one of the monkey's were trying to break in :-) We all agreed that we would most likely book this place again for another large group.

We rented out the whole property for a small retreat of 16 international staff. It was perfect. The grounds and complex was beautiful and very tropical feeling. The villas (we had 6) were big enough for us to have a few small gatherings and had full sized kitchens. And the clubhouse was lovely with a big veranda looking over the pool (and an iguana that visited it us regularly but only from a distance). Beds were comfortable and bathrooms clean. Because this was a group retreat we asked for a few special things - like adding in 3 meals every day. We were unsure what to expect but this was better than we could have imagined. Olivier hired to local ladies and they did an excellent job. We had great food and good variety of it. Also the Tortuga island tour and zip lining were both hits with our staff. I was also very pleased with the promptness of Olivier's responses. I rarely waited even a few hours before he got back to me about any question I had. Overall we were very pleased with this location for our purposes.

The property is outstanding. We had a large group and it was perfect for us. The property is like a botanical garden, with beautiful pathways and monkeys, ground iguanas and other critters. We visited a nearby national park and paid $10 per person. The park was beautiful but we all agreed that there wasn't anything in the park that we didn't have on the property. We loved the pool too. It was a short trip to the beach and into the town of Jaco. We loved this place.

This place is NOT Just outside Jaco, nor a 15 -25 minute drive at any time of the day... it is a jungle inside, a 12 person van will probably get scratches getting to the houses. The lights in the pool and BBQ area were not working and even though I was there to witness and hear from the managers voice thay had just broke, Olivier was not and still claims they were in fact, working just fine... [I understand this can happen anytime to anyone, what I did not like was him trying to convince me (or himself), they were]. Anyways, we lost the money, grabbed our stuff and head to Jaco, asked door by door for vacancies, paid last minute fare at a hotel and happily enjoy the night at Real JACO..
