5.0 / 5.0
We could not have been happier with this property. From the moment we were picked up at the Airport to the time we were dropped off, we had 5 star service from every member of the staff.
Transportation was exemplary. House cleaning were like ninjas and would sneak in your room and the next moment it was clean again. The Chef and her team were superb, and I think we each gained weight. :)
The property is in a gated community, and we always felt safe.
As for nature, more birds than i can keep track and monkeys, whales, and other wildlife were plentiful.
We plan on returning.

This Thanksgiving Family Getaway in Jaco, Costa Rica, spanned 6 days and 5 nights, and we enjoyed every min! The highlight of our trip was undoubtedly the breathtaking home with an unparalleled view of the Pacific from multiple rooms throughout the house!
Olga, the property manager, was exceptional—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely concerned, making her the best host I've ever encountered in my extensive travels.
Olga's recommendations were also spot-on, starting with Chef Pablo. The food was delectable, the staff was professional, not to mention they whipped up killer margaritas! With the house high in the mountains, the drive uphill was steep but the private transportation, also recommended by Olga, was a game-changer!
Lastly, this was my family's first time in Costa Rica, and we had no clue on what to expect or where to go, but we always felt safe in the home and with all of Olga's
recommendations for local hot spots making our stay even more memorable!
Bottom line, everything was wonderful—the house, definitely the host, the cleaning and cooking staff, Chef Pablo, and the private transportation. For an experience of a lifetime, look no further! Olga will ensure your Costa Rican adventure becomes a story you'll reminisce about for decades!

Those we worked directly with; Eunice, Francis, Desta, Sergio, Jorge, Roberto and Fabian were excellent! They were thoughtful, customer oriented, and extremely helpful! The house was massive and was billed as "strictly family oriented." I was disappointed that pool cues had broken or missing tips, there were no toys for use in the pool and the TV in the movie room did not work, nor was there any instructions to tell us which of the 4 remotes we had to use to get movies. Earlier I was told there would be a ping pong table there. There was none. In the master bedroom sitting area there was a two inch gap between the overlapping glass panels that acted as doors and we had crabs in the room clacking on the floor all night long. I stuffed a towel between them. I was told there was a super mercado located one mile from the house. It turned out to be over 3 miles away. Initially there was no communication between Olga and the transportation manager, Robert relative to her and my agreement about free transportation to/from the airport. I found Robert to be intimidating, rude and acting as a bully on each of the occasions I dealt with him. He put his desires ahead of those of the customer. Olga was not present during our stay. When a disagreement came up on transportation Olga wrote me an email stating her case. I responded and stated my case. She did not and has not responded to date. Costa Rica-Great, service providers-Great, Olga and Robert--very disappointing

Where do I even begin... Let me start by saying that if you think the photos on the listing are impressive, Casa Faro Azul will blow you away in real life. Its the most spectacular property we've ever had the privilege to stay in. Leaving was the hardest part!
We booked Casa Faro for our wedding, and it did not disappoint. Our family & friends were floored with how amazing the property was. From the rooms to the insanely warm infinity pool. Absolute perfection. Olga, the brains and muscle behind everything that goes on with the house, was the easiest to work with, very responsive, and just so helpful in every way. We would not have been able to have our wedding without her! She helped arrange everything down to the private chef, my makeup, flowers, and even a fishing trip for the guys (they came home empty handed though - first time ever in Los Sueños, so it was very sad and almost felt like bad luck before our wedding)
We had a full house, which included our 11 month old along with friends & family. There was so much space, that it still felt empty. We spent time in the pool everyday, enjoyed grilling out on the deck, and the spectacular views from all the balconies. The primary suite itself was the size of a decent condo unit, & we were able to use the large walk in closet as a baby bedroom which fit a travel crib! The huge outdoor shower in the bathroom was also such an amazing feature. Casa Faro was a dream and then some - we can't wait to come back!

Our stay at Cads Fero Azul was magical. We do a couples trip every year and this stay was one for the books!
5.0 / 5.0
Caso Faro Azul is one of the most spectacular properties at which we have had the pleasure of staying. Overlooking a high bluff over the Gulf of Nicoya on the Pacific side of Costa Rica, one has an incomparable panoramic view across the water. The Areal volcano framed by its cloud cover is off to the north. All of this while relaxing and playing in the infinity pool on the western edge of the property. The sunsets in the west are spectacular and a fitting end of each day during our stay at this magical retreat.
Make your reservation as fast as you can. Perfect for our party of 8 adults and 4 young children.
5.0 / 5.0
Had an amazing week with my entire family, 17 people ranging in age from 5 to 76. The house could not be more spectacular, with to-die-for views of the ocean, distant mountains, the Costa Rican coastline, and the most gorgeous sunset every night. We saw the most beautiful birds grazing in the trees. We were constantly on the lookout for the rainbow-colored macaws, who have the most vibrant feathers and travel in pairs. My sister also saw toucans in the trees on a walk near the house. The neighborhood is safe and gated. The layout of the house was perfect for our family. All of the rooms are spread out so no one was on top of each other, and we all had our own space. It felt palatial! The kids loved hanging out in the basement, playing pool or watching a movie. The house cleaners were so kind and friendly and kept the house immaculate. They even folded my clothes if they arrived in the morning and my clothes were still in the dryer. Property manager Olga is the best!! She was always at my beck and call whenever I had a question. Could not have been more responsive and upbeat. Jorge provided us with groceries (we gave Olga a list) upon our arrival, and he came to the house a few times to check to see if we needed anything and to fix a maintenance issue (no heat in one shower). He was always smiling! I asked for party hats and blowers for New Year's Eve, and the next day, they were sitting on the table in a bag. We had Kenia and her team of chefs make us dinner every night. Everything was delicious. We loved chatting with Kenia and her husband Moises. They felt like family! My only complaint was that our driver didn't speak English, which was a challenge, as you are completely dependent on transportation to go anywhere, including the beach. Olga let us know this was an anomaly, as the driver we were supposed to have was sick. She assured us this would never happen again, and had she known that the backup driver didn't speak English, she would have requested someone else. Despite the language barrier, our driver was always prompt and reliable. My family went on a number of excursions - the monkey and mangrove tour was my favorite. Just beware that everything is pretty far from the house, and the traffic (at least when we were there between Christmas and New Years) is horrendous!! Took us 4 hours to go about 40 miles one day. In retrospect, I wish we had stayed at the house more, as it was really spectacular. Thank you, Olga, for a wonderful stay!!

What an incredible vacation! Pictures do not do this place justice - you have to see to believe!
The property was immaculately clean and stayed that way during our 4 nights thanks to the housekeeping staff.
The private chefs made two fantastic dinners at reasonable prices.
Olga was super responsive and arranged for our driver and some excursions.
Would definitely recommend Olga and this house!
5.0 / 5.0
The property exceeded expectations even though we had seen the photos! The staff was friendly and attentive and did an excellent job of keeping the house clean and neat. Olga made arrangements ahead of time and, lucky for us, on the spur of the moment answering our every need. This was our first time in Costa Rica so, as we became more familiar with the area, our interests expanded. We opted for a driver with a large, comfortable van. We were so happy with Marvin and Hillary. They were a joy to work with and so considerate of our needs. I highly recommend them as, not only transportation, but a joyful part of the vacation. Overall, we could not have had a better experience. Pura Vida!!!

One of the most beautiful places in the world! Many in our group have travelled extensively and couldn't say enough about this amazing property and staff! The home was large enough for 14 adults with private space for all. Views from almost everywhere and a pool that takes you to the edge of this amazing location. Everything we needed was there or a text away. Olga was a wonderful host and helped us with all our activities. Highly recommend Tony the private driver and our amazing private chef!

This was an experience of a lifetime, and I am so grateful that I was able to host a safe and beautiful retreat with Olga, Fabian, Tony and team. It is a lot of work to plan anything in another country, but I have never felt so welcomed with open arms. This house was a home for just us for an amazing 4 days, and I wouldn't recommend any other house than this one. It is completely worth it outside of the breathtaking views and beauty of the house, but also because of the overflowing kindness and love. I look forward to working Olga and team globally. Forever in debt.

My friends and I stayed at this wonderful dream home to celebrate my 40th birthday. Olga was excellent from the day I booked the property. She was highly responsive and available to answer every question I had no matter what I asked. You can tell that she’s passionate about her properties and making sure our stay was excellent. I was surprised that she still communicated with me on her wedding day which happened to be the same day as my birthday!
Transportation was provided to and from SJO airport and were greeted by Tony, our driver who was the BEST!! Our group of 16 rode in a 25 passenger bus. Take advantage of the driver!! We stopped at a grocery store so we could grab water, food and snacks to last our 5 day vacation.
When we arrived at Casa Faro, we were happily greeted by the entire house staff. They handed out cold hand towels , sangria and a snack tray of fruit, crackers & cheeses. Our concierge, Fabian, was there to greet us and give a tour of the house, he’s also available 24hrs a day if we ever needed him.
The home is luxury, luxury & more luxury!! The views are breathtaking and the infinity pool was our favorite hangout spot. All of the rooms are clean with comfortable beds. The home is more beautiful than the photos.
Some of the amenities that stood out:
Wifi
Large bluetooth speaker
House phone with free international calls
Cell phone to reach concierge 24/7
Movie room (we were able to stream and watch shows Netflix)
Massage chair in the movie room
Spa room
Game room with a bar & pool table
Huge hot tub
Robes for each guest
The house is advertised as an 8 bedroom home but please note that 6 of the rooms are in the house. There are two additional rooms that are most likely for staff but made available for additional guests. On the plus side, those rooms each have a private bathroom. The house was kept cleaned and stocked during our stay.
Our private chef, Kenia Salas, is highly recommended. (This was an additional cost) We loved everything she prepared for us, the food was soooo good!! While you are in Costa Rica, I recommend that you try local food from small outdoor restaurants called sodas. You will not be disappointed by the food and service no matter where you go. The house is really close to Jaco if you want to go into “town” to shop, hangout & eat.
Overall, our stay was amazing!! My friends constantly raved about the house, food, excursions and service.
Olga & Fab, thank you!!!

I organized this trip for my CEO and his business partners. The process, from start to finish, was seamless! Ogla is an amazingly thorough host. She organized their entire five day agenda to include a private driver, chef, restaurant reservations, grocery delivery, surfing, fishing, massages, ATV and ziplining. Not one detail was overlooked.
The travelers had nothing but praises for her team and the house! The views are breathtaking and the home is immaculate. The group had all the space that they needed (plus some). We will most definitely book this home (and Olga) again! Thank you so much!

We had nearly 20 people there for a 50th birthday party. The home is gorgeous with a great view of ocean and Macaus flying around in morning. Some things are a little worn like the bathrooms and pool but overall great

We recently stayed at Casa Faro Azul for a couples trip. It was nothing short of incredible. The property is kept in pristine condition inside and outside. The views and the surroundings are absolutely stunning. The rooms and house are very spacious and accommodating for large groups like ours. Olga and her staff made the whole process incredibly easy and enjoyable. From the moment we arrived at the airport, everything was arranged perfectly. Olga was available throughout our stay and facilitated activities, transportation, dinner recommendations, personal chefs, and anything else we asked of her. She couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. The same was true of all of the staff, including Robert (the driver) and the housekeepers/maintenance staff. We can’t wait to go back!

10 days in paradise! The house is absolutely stunning with amazing views! We booked this for a family Christmas trip and it was everything we hoped for! Olga, the property manager, went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect! Toucans and scarlet macaws outside our suite, surrounded by a beautiful peaceful setting. The staff was so efficient and nice! Our chef, arranged by Olga, cooked delicious meals for us! I can’t wait to stay here again. It was perfect. Each day we would head out for different excursions or beaches, but always looked forward to returning to this lovely house.

We had an amazing time here at this house, the only reason we did not give it a 5 star is because the house really needs a full time management for large parties, there were many times that we had to direct the house keepers to keep up certain things, one issue for us was that two of the rooms were adjacent outside the house next to the laundry room and were really meant for staff and not guests.
The house was really beautiful and spacious, beautiful design, the infinity pool area and the view were stunning, Olga was a pleasure to work with, she handled all the excursions and everything went well. Olga recommend a chef, kenia, and she was absolutely fantastic, also our driver Tony was a pleasure to be with everyday, he stayed with us the entire time and also took care of things around the house. Tony should actually be the house manager!! Overall it was a great trip!

We loved the beautiful surroundings, the spacious comfort and felt we had come home again. Mariana and Randy greeted us like old friends and continued to look after us in every way. Mariana made wonderful breakfasts, teaching us Spanish and learning English from us. Randy kept the grounds clipped and clean, ready to show us visiting monkeys and iguanas! They are an outstanding staff.
Whether relaxing in the infinity pool, enjoying a friendly game of pool or taking photos of the local flora and fauna, we have made beautiful memories to carry us through the Canadian winter.
Our two chefs, Kenja and Jose , provided us with fabulous dining experiences on request. Local delicacies from the sea were amazing.
Two weeks passed quickly but our memories will be with us for a long time.
Our thanks to Olga, Roberto, Mariana and Randy for making our vacation perfect.

The house and property offered everything a group of 8-10 could ask for. Beautiful pool, bar and entertainment area and close to golf, fishing and great dining. We also took advantage of local transportation and In home Chef services to make the stay even more enjoyable. From the initial planning stages of our trip through to our departure, all of our expectations were exceeded. Thank you Olga and the entire team for a wonderful, memorable stay!! Sincerely The Ronan's, Turner's, Hunter's and Forrestall's

We absolutely loved the Villa! Olga was amazing - she helped us schedule tours, hire a chef and took care of all our transportation. She is extremely responsive and positive.
The villa is very spacious and the bedrooms are large. The view will take your breath away. I would highly recommend renting this property. It was one of our best family vacations.

Wow, I cannot tell you how amazing our experience at the Villa el Faro was for all 12 guys family and friends celebrating my brothers marriage this July! It is something you have to experience for yourself as words cannot fully describe it - the house, view, the area etc. These guys have traveled the world including myself and were in awe of the home and experience at Villa el Faro!
Most of all its the over whelming feeling of beauty in nature, serene, whispering sea winds, sweeping views across the peninsula to the coves of Los Suenos and perched high above the sea is a stunning one of a kind home that fully caters to the views and serenity of the sea cliffs. The home constantly offers up surprises in every nook and cranny as to views and its amazingly thought out floor plan. Too much to describe. In addition the staff was attentive, warm hearted and relaxed. Olga our property manager is what makes Costa Rica loved my many. A great and genuine attitude insuring you have fun at the home and in CR. She truly cares about your enjoyment and makes everything run smoothly between the home, travel, excursions, provisions, transp etc.
Honestly I could have spent the whole week at the Villa el Faro relaxing to the max. The seabreeze sound coming up the mountain put me in a state of bliss. Stunning sunsets beyond your imagination and I live on the water in Florida. Seen many a great sunset.
We always couldn't wait to get back el faro whenever we left to white water raft, ATV, Zipline, dine and party. A true gem! Thank you Olga your amazing! Pura Vida!!!

Casa Faro Azul is the perfect location for a destination wedding or to stay at during your next vacation in Costa Rica!
My husband and I had our wedding in Casa Faro Azul on January 6, 2018...and this house was beyond BEAUTIFUL. The view was magnificent, which gave us an amazing setting for our wedding pictures. The staff was super helpful in every sense of the word. Anything that needed to be moved to accommodate the weeding setting, they did in a heartbeat. Olga Araya, the manager of the house, has all the connections for all the vendors: The best florist, the best music, and the best food. She even arranged the transportation from the ceremony to the venue! and from the venue to everyone's hotel! She also planned a tour to Tortuga Island the day after the wedding for 20 people that attended our wedding. She also has access to many different tours and fun activities. She did everything and beyond to accommodate everyone and meet every expectation. Anything that was requested or asked of her, she did. I highly recommend that you get in touch with her for your vacation or to plan your stay at Casa Faro Azul in Costa Rica!

As with any Event, the Success is in the Attention to the Amenities Details.
My Exeperience was Without Equal for Accommodation and Comfort in the Most Beautiful Setting you can imagine. The Costomer Service was more than Helpful., it was Terrific. My Vacation for Rest and Relaxation was 110% of expectation... My Appreciation is Sincere..

We were instantly in love with the villa. The view from the infinity pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean, was simply spectacular. The spotless and spacious interior provided everyone with a beautiful place to be. The personable and courteous staff went out of their way to make sure we wanted for nothing.
We loved touring the small villages, visiting the butterfly sanctuary, hiking in the rain forest and swimming in the pool at the end of the day.
But as the owner told us, "It's worth going just for the sunsets!"
