This was my absolute favorite place my kids and I visited in 12 days in Costa Rica total. The staff and grounds were phenomenal. We want to go back- not just to Costa Rica, but also specifically to this property that just… felt like home to the hearts.

This property is very relaxed and welcoming. The staff are highly attentive and really take care of you while you are on site. The addition of the animal sanctuary makes it a very eco-friendly destination. We stayed for one week during which the surrounding jungle and wildlife were the stars of the show.

The Views

Stay was amazing. The views do NOT get any better than this. It’s not the most modern but it’s better than some 5 star places I’ve stayed. And I travel a lot. Highly recommend and definitely get a 4x4.

I stayed at Villas Alturas for 12 nights in December as I was doing some volunteering at the animal sanctuary adjacent to the villas. The property has the most stunning views from the terrace and pool area overlooking the coastline. It is surrounded by lush jungle with all the sights and sounds you would expect. It is quite isolated in its location which is both a blessing and a curse. It is at the top of an 800m gravel single track road on a very steep gradient. If you want to leave the hotel grounds you definitely need to hire a car. The villas themselves were very clean but are very dated. They are still very 1980s in the decor and could def do with a refresh on the interiors. Great space tho. Shower was large and worked well. Small kitchen with fridge, oven and microwave. A few bits a bit rough around the edges but overall perfectly ok. Fantastic views from the villa terrace too. My main gripe was that the pool area was very small (8 metre kidney shaped pool apx) and as such couldn’t handle many people to be there. As a guest I would have expected the pool and terrace to be for guests only, however the reception area was a meeting point for the Alturas sanctuary tours so at times there was a procession of day trippers wandering around the pool area. I was there when people who only came for lunch were allowed to use the pool too. So at times that area became very busy with non paying guests. They definitely need to create an area of separation for guests & day trippers.

Gorgeous Views

Absolutely beautiful views. I was there in the low season, so the restaurant was only open for breakfast. It was good food, small portions. Inside the cabina has a full kitchen, living room, and bedroom, with a good sized bathroom as well. It is super spacious and has an amazing balcony/patio with a hammock, rocking chairs, and table/chairs. it is a super steep rocky hill to drive up, somewhat challenging at night.
