Private Villa & Retreat with Ocean View - Villas for Rent in Puntarenas Province, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica

casa Marbella was the most perfect spot for our first yoga and pilates retreat! the rooms were beautiful and offered privacy in a community setting. The pool is gorgeous and well maintained, with ample seating spots to enjoy. the community spaces were comfortable and spacious and every spot had the most incredible views. the yoga shala was clean and serene, and we even had a toucan and family of monkeys watching over our yoga classes. the location was so convenient! the staff was incredible, helpful, funny and kind and they kept the hotel pristine. Andre and Jessie were unbelievable communicators and did so much to help us organize beyond our stay at their hotel. we will be back to this little piece of paradise!

Our stay was fantastic. All the staff members were very friendly and helpful at all times. Exceptional and highly recommended accommodation.

Nuestra estancia ha sido fantástica. Todos los integrantes de la plantilla han sido muy amables y atentos en todo momento. Alojamiento excepcional y altamente recomendable.

We had a family reunion and had an absolute fabulous time.  Jessica was beyond helpful with setting up activities and giving advice as to what to do.  The place was absolutely beautiful, peaceful and charming.  Our reunion was such an amazing experience thanks to Jessica!

An absolutely incredible stay! From the beginning Jessica's communication as well as reception was incredibly helpful and attentive. Casa MarBella is an absolute dream of a space to stay. A quick walk into town and the beaches while nestled on top of a hill so you can experience the sounds of the jungle. Would highly recommend for others!

Great place to stay. Very comfortable, conveniently located and perfect for large groups.

Excelente lugar para quedarse. Muy cómodo, bien ubicado y perfecto para grupos grandes.

There are literally not enough words to describe how amazing this place is. We rented the entire hotel for our 10 year anniversary and it was great. Definitely rent an ATV, it will make your stay much easier. The staff at the hotel was amazing! The weeks leading up to the trip, they helped us book all are trips and ATV’s. The food was absolutely fantastic! We had breakfast every morning at The Bakery, they have the best French toast I’ve ever eaten! Bottom line is if you are thinking about booking here, stop thinking about and do it!!!

Casa MarBella was an exquisite location for our weeklong birthday celebration and was everything that we could have ever hoped for and more. Everything about the property was perfect for our trip, from the layout of the rooms, to the pool, and its location in the town of Santa Teresa. The staff was exceptional in assisting us with scheduling activities and excursions. We will never forget the sound of howler monkeys in the morning and seeing them in the trees from the deck. This property and the staff truly made it a celebration we will never forget!

All I can say is wow. Staff was absolutely amazing to work with. I planned a big surprise trip for my fiancè and rented the whole hotel..couldn’t be happier with the place and with the staff. Location was great, hotel was well maintained, pool was relaxing. And once again the staff was amazing. Thank you so so much for an amazing stay!

We had an excellent stay at Jessie's place. There were 10 of us so we had the entire place and there was plenty of space to spread out, but no one felt isolated. The staff on property was great and the location is perfect for easy access to all there is to do in Santa Teresa. We particularly loved the quick walk through the secret path to our favorite breakfast restaurant next door at Horizon. The rooms are are all great, with fantastic views from the condos. Everything was very clean, nicely decorated and stocked with everything you'd need. We never cooked on property since there are so many great restaurants in Santa Teresa, but the condo kitchens are spacious and well equipped. The pool was perfect and nice to be able to cool off from the hot sun. One suggestion would be to add a few sun umbrellas on the deck since it gets very hot midday and there is little shade. Overall we would absolutely come back to this property again. 5 stars!

Wow! Where to even begin… We rented the entire villa for our wedding and from the moment we arrived, their entire team welcomed all 22 of us with open arms. The reception offered places to eat and even where to host our ceremony. We followed their suggestions and we were never disappointed. Their friendliness was uncanny to anything we have ever experienced before. Our entire family and friends were blown away not only by the villa itself and its natural beauty but also by the ongoing hospitality during our stay. On the day of the wedding, they were willing to work with the vendors and to make the process a lot easier even though they weren’t responsible for it. It was all out of the kindness of their hearts and wanting our day to be as perfect as we dreamed of. By the time our wedding was over, we came to our room to find a beautiful decoration congratulating us for our wedding and ending our celebration in the most welcoming way. We 1000% recommend Casa Marbella!!!

I don't even know where to begin! From the moment we arrived at Casa Marbella the staff was wonderful. Ali welcomed us and made us feel at home right away. I was hosting my first yoga retreat in Santa Teresa so the additional information and guidance regarding the area was incredibly helpful.Check in was smooth and easy. The hotel staff assisted with booking ATV & massages. The massages were out of this world! It was nice to have Will as the overnight guard. The area felt safe in general but having him there was peace of mind. Hotel was very clean with daily housekeeping. The view from the pool is unbelievable! The hotel is more beautiful than the pictures. We had a great time watching the monkeys from the yoga deck each morning. We used Flor for chef services and she was SPECTACULAR. Her food was incredible and her energy was second to none. There is a cute coffee shop just feet away that has the best iced coffee. It was a dream!

I can't say enough about this space - the hosts, the staff who were there daily to clean, night security and what felt like concierge services. The location is perfect, a short walk to the beaches, restaurants, shops. Very clean, well equipped, comfortable beds and pillows. We all loved the experience including our 6 children ages 12-23. We'll definitely be back. :)

Cada Marbella was an absolute dream. We fit 21 friends comfortably in the space. It’s nestled on a hill and offers the perfect amount of seclusion, but in walking distance of the beach and killer restaurants. Jessie and the staff were so helpful and responsive to all of our questions. The place is more gorgeous than the photos. 10/10 would stay here again.

My group and I had the time of our lives! We were a large group of 16. From the very beginning the team was very helpful! They basically planned my whole trip! While we were at the Villa the team were amazing! They helped with reservations and much more. When I come back to Costa Rica I will say here! Also, this location is TO DIE FOR! It’s right in the center of all the action. Renting an ATV for your trip is must!!!

Owners are very accommodating and it is a beautiful stay!

This Airbnb was so relaxing clean and beautiful! This stay definitely inspired us to come back to Costa Rica!! Pura Vida!

Jessica was a great host! She accommodated my group and helped us plan out excursions.

Aside from the amazing views, beautiful house, and fun pool, this place has the kindest and most helpful staff! The hosts were wonderful to work with and overall our stay exceeded our expectations. My family and I cannot wait to come back!

Great place and location and Jessica was a great host and excellent service
