Upon arrival a monkey visited us and the staff sliced fruit for my daughter to feed her. The best view of the ocean was our room balcony. Every morning on our balcony we had coffee and enjoyed the view and sounds of Costa Rica. Our kitchen had everything we needed to have an easy breakfast and go to our adventures without having to use up time at a restaurant. The beach just down below us so my wife enjoyed her morning walks. It was a great stay

Cons:
1. We booked a room for 3 people with a Queen and double bed however were given a room for 2 people consisting of a double bed and fold out chair bed, which was basically cushions on the floor, without any adjustment in price and told it was due to an error on hotel.coms side
2. Messaged about having a late check in as we had a lengthy drive and were told check in ended at 9 and if we were to arrive late to find another hotel
3. There is no actual reception area/desk, instead you have to ring a bell, which we rang numerous times upon arriving within the check in time frame with no response and had to call and wait 10 minutes for someone to show up and let us into our room
4. There is no one that we saw on the property monitoring guests, which would have been helpful when guests starting feeding wildlife disrupting our attempt to enjoy the pool
5. There is no beach accessibility from the property. It is a steep walk along the road to access the beach
Pros:
1. Nice views of the beach
2. Able to see monkeys during stay

This hotel has pros and cons. Pros: beautiful water view especially of sunrise and sunset from private balcony. My Balcony also had a hammock. Another pro is a very helpful young man who works there who will help you with your bag up and down the numerous large steps all over the property (it is built on a steep hill). It is near enough to the beach to walk - 5 minutes. Also, very clean.
Cons: it looks like there is a hot tub and pool but the hot tub water flows into the pool. The hot tub is not hot and the pool is actually hotter and too hot to swim. Also No lights at the pool after dark so you are swimming in the dark. The pillows were terrible. Everything needs renovation. Both my sliding door and screen door would not close or lock properly, same with the room safe. The furniture looked like scraps you would put in a college dorm. The kitchen was not usable- they provide nothing, not even salt/pepper/sugar/coffee. No kettle or even a pot - just a very scratched hot pot and griddle. The microwave only worked on “pizza”. The nearby “grocery stores” within walking distance are outrageously expensive- you will spend a lot more trying to cook than eating out if just 1-2 people. The price vs what you get is not aligned
The views and balconies however really are wonderful. Just know what you are getting beforehand.

The property manager Hector was excellent. He was very attentive to our needs. The other manager(s) were never seen and only communicated with us through a voice com at the gate. The property is on a cliff and the pool was a steep walk. Our room was on street level which I was happy to have.

Our 4 nights were flawless! The room was clean and comfy with a very good restaurant in walking distance. The only request from the hotel is to provide a little information about transportation available and local services. An economical room with a kitchenette allowed for us to enjoy breakfast on our balcony overlooking the ocean. We had monkeys visit once and managed to see toucans and a macaw over coffee!

Great view!! Rooms are simple, but the AC blows cold. No breakfast service but there is a kitchenette with a coffee maker etc. Need to remember to bring your own. No ice maker but there is a fridge/freezer with a 10 cube tray. Good location though parking is a little tight and located on a steep hill and sharp curve. Stairs are a little difficult to navigate with luggage and rain.

Well-eqipped kitchenette (hob, oven, coffee maker, microwave). Saw more wildlife from our balcony than we saw in the national park!
Downsides were no toiletries or hairdryer. It is perched on the side of a very steep hill. We are quite fit but struggled.

If you're going to Costa Rica to see wildlife and great ocean views then Villas de la Selva is your place. We spent a half hour in the pool just watching the capuchin monkeys playing and climbing around the buildings. And a two toed sloth was sleeping in one of the trees on the property and we got to see it climb around at night. Also the iguanas were just hanging out in the grass and agoutis would cruise through looking for insects. And we could often hear the howler monkeys howling in a nearby tree.

We stayed here for two nights in Jan 2020. We were very impressed by so many animals we saw.... a lot of monkeys, two big lizards, one howler monkey, hummingbird, and other birds. The double room was a little small, but the view was awesome. The manager was very nice and very friendly. We were very happy with our stay.

Views are incredible. Location is good but a further walk to the beach than expected. The room is very basic. No soap or shampoo. The extra bed was just cushoins on the ground covered by a sheet.
