Punta Islita Hotel

Beautiful property! This is a wonderful place to stay and I can’t recommend enough! Hosts were very helpful and Ronald was great. He organized us a private dinner and helped with everything we needed!

Marbella was one of the nicest places we’ve stayed as a family. It was even better than advertised, close to the resort, and the concierge service offered a personalized touch. Hosts were very responsive and friendly. We’ll be back, pura vida!

What a special place tucked away in Punta Islita, yet still a part of the larger hotel/resort amenities. Exceeded expectations. Perfect for 2 families joining up for a vacation, who need a kitchen, laundry and pool yet can still figure out some adult private time. Loved the proximity to the beach, pool and bar there. It's a 10 min walk on a walkway covered by trees for most of it- needed in the dry/hot season. It was super helpful to be connected with site manager/concierge, he and Nancy both helped with questions. We did a bunch of activities (saw monkeys with a guide right outside and surfed) and got to relax. Very worth the bumpy ride out. Have your 4x4 and your all set.

This is a must book, one of the most beautiful properties I’ve ever stayed in and even more stunning in person than the photos. It feels like a luxury stay and has all possible amenities. Jorge the gardener maintains the property so beautifully, and it has its own little walking trail around the grounds. He cut down fresh coconuts for my children to try. It also felt like some kind of wonderful cheat code to be able to set up an account at the hotel and use their facilities, which are also luxury level stunning. It’s about a two minute drive to the beach and five minutes from the little town Islita with a couple of restaurants. I hope we can come back again.

Beautiful, very comfortable home and very responsive hosts. We had a wonderful stay, thank you.

We love Punta Islita!! Marbella was a great place to stay and enjoy this incredible place! Very clean and attentive. Great location for all we wanted to do. Make sure you get groceries before. Playa islita is perfect for body boarding and swimming, playa Corozalito is beautiful and has turtles, playa San Miguel had the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. Tons of macaws and parrots right around us, monkeys in the trees on our way to San Miguel. Loved our time here and can’t wait to come back!

Our two week stay at Marbella was wonderful ! We travelled with our 7 month old daughter and had some family join us for the second week and the guest house worked out perfectly. My parents commented several times how much they enjoyed having their own space. The property is VERY well maintained by a lovely gentlemen named Jorge - he comes everyday and keeps the pool and surrounding areas absolutely pristine. We were able to enjoy all of the amenities at the hotel throughout our stay (beach, pools, restaurants, spa etc.) and even arranged some excursions through them as well. The property was much more remote than we anticipated - we rented a car and I honestly cant imagine being there without one, especially if you plan on going back and forth to the hotel and into town to do groceries. Ronald (the onsite host) arranged several beautiful dinners by a private chef in the villa - I highly recommend this if you have the chance! Nancy was very responsive & helpful throughout our stay

This is a one of a kind house. Costa Rican luxury home with style and refinement. It was a joy to have the opportunity to live in this fabulous grand property for a whole week. The location is just remote enough to be in true nature between jungle and the sea. We went to a different beach every day of our seven day vacation. Saw monkeys and coatis almost every day along the roads. Even saw a bunch of macaw parrots flying over one of the beaches. The house is really fully equipped with all you need in the kitchen. Both bath towels and beach towels are supplied. The pool was my kids favorite spot to spend the afternoons as we sipped on our drinks looking at the sun setting. This house was absolutely sublime!

Marbella is a GORGEOUS home with a great layout and beautiful grounds. It was the perfect location for us and our plans. Ronald, the caretaker, was extremely helpful. We ventured up to the hotel and had some amazing food and million dollar views.

Thank you Nancy!!! Your place is really beautiful. Looking forward to coming back for another stay soon.
