We loved our stay at Vila Encantada! The property and home was the best part of our trip! Oscar, the concierge is amazing and is always available to help or book any excursions. Costa Rica was paradise and we can't wait to go back.
5.0 / 5.0
The location of the house is far from the San Jose airport but well worth the drive. Oscar the concierge was helpful and responded quicky to our requests. The house itself is definitely up a steep rough dirt road but with a 4x4 it was fine. The house was absolutely beautiful, with stunning views and a lot of wildlife. We saw a ton of toucans, macaws, bugs and lizards. Unfortunately we didn't see the sloth or any monkeys but would hear them at night. Thank you for sharing your house, as we highly recommend it!

Amazing property. Very well equipped. Beautiful surroundings Oscar our personal concierge was exceptional
5.0 / 5.0
I have had the luxury of traveling all over the world as an airline pilot. This was hands down the best place we have stayed at. The photos don't do this place any justice. The tranquility of the location is incomparable! AWD or 4x4 is needed due to the cross of gravel and steepness. The dirt road is easily traveled on if you have an AWD or 4x4. The proximity to everything makes things so easy. Grocery store, restaurants, beach, etc. is only 15-20 minutes away. All the adventurous excursions are very close.
A few things I would have done sooner are communicating with Oscar, the concierge, and having him arrange all activities with reputable guides. For us he was able to book fishing/snorkeling, zip lining, ate/coffee tour, Manual Antonio park tour, personal chef, sunset horse beach ride and so much more. He was able to move a few things around to accommodate all of my requests and honestly not sure we could have done it without him in advance.
I would HIGHLY recommend having the Chef earlier in your stay. We booked him on the night before we were to leave and if you look at pricing it makes more sense to book for numerous days and/or meals.
All in all, what you get when booking this location is worth every penny! The memories our family has made will last a lifetime! Thank you

This was our second trip to Villa Encantada, and we loved it once again. the architecture of the house is stunning, and the kids loved the pool. I could definitely see us back for a third time. Oscar is lovely to communicate with. Thanks.

A perfect Christmas vacation
Our family of 6 took this trip in lieu of giving gifts this Christmas. WE decided we would remember the adventure and enjoy making memories together more than buying gifts. And boy did we! Watching toucans and sloths and sunsets over the ocean from our patio was our favorite. WE also enjoyed horseback riding to the falls, snorkeling, ziplining, and touring Manuel Antonio National Park. Chef Christopher cooked us an elegant meal and served us poolside. Our favorite restaraunts close by were Langosta Felize (casual dining) and Cuna de Angel (fine dining). This home will not dissapoint! Oscar was perfection!

Amazing time in Dominical
Honestly can't wait to come back! The property was beautiful, the communication was perfect, and everything from scheduling pick up from the airport, transportation in the area, at home breakfasts/dinners, to even getting a cake from my birthday went so smoothly. If you plan on staying in the Dominical area, I would highly recommend.

Best Vacation Home/Experience!
I stayed at this property for 6 nights with 7 other friends and it was immaculate! The open air areas were amazing, the AC in the rooms were cold, and the view was perfect! There were gates and an alarm system, so we felt very safe! Definitely make sure you get a 4x4 vehicle on the way up.
Our concierge Oscar was SO attentive, set up awesome tours for us, was available for questions at all times, and answered quickly! We love you Oscar!
If we ever come back to Costa Rica, we will absolutely stay at the same location!

Family Escape January 2021
Villa Encantada is absolutely amazing! My husband and I aggreed this was the most beautiful house we have ever booked. The flora and fauna that surround are breathtaking - truly a piece of Heaven. The villa is exceptionally well done, and the pictures do not do it justice. Oscar the concierge was extremely warm and helpful. There were only four of us, and this house is made for entertaining. We hope to be back with a larger group to share!

The place is absolutely beautiful
The place is absolutely beautiful, gorgeous views, and amazing surroundings. The only thing was that the satellite tv didn't work through all our stay. The house has great, with stable internet connection, so we were able to connect to Netflix instead.

Beautiful home just outside Dominical, CR.
Must have 4 x 4 vehicle to gain access. Other than the 6-10 minute climb and descent to the home it is a wonderful vacation home!

My Idea of Paradise
Our stay at Paradise Breezes was fabulous. We stayed at Villa Encantada in November 2018.
This is the end of the rainy season and start of the dry season, so we did have some rain but it never spoiled any of our plans. It was mostly at night and it was quite nice to sit and relax under the outdoor area.
Our concierge Oscar was amazing and literally took care of everything. I like to make sure all details are taken care of but soon realized that I needn’t have worried as he was on top of his game. Oscar was available whenever we needed anything but never intrusive. He went out of his way on a Sunday to help us find a chiropractor when my husband hurt his back. The Dr. came right to the villa (at a very reasonable cost) and thankfully my husband was able to enjoy the rest of our vacation.
Everything was as promised, everything we could have needed was there (including a super blender) for tropical drinks…every utensil you could think of, a lovely welcome package, comfortable beds and lounge seating by the pool. We could not see any other villa’s so it was very private. The A/C works really well although we rarely used it because we prefer the breeze and the fans which was enough. We were visited each day by Toucans and Aracari’s at the pool.
Villa Encantada was simply beautiful. From the Jurassic size front entrance door to the ocean view pool you will not be dissappointed. The drive from the main road to the villa requires 4x4 as do most in Costa Rica but it was only a 5 minute drive and you get used to it very quickly. We loved that we were only a short distance from banks, supermarkets, beaches etc. but are still in the jungle in your own paradise.
All of our activities, car rental, shuttle pick ups and drop offs went smoothly and they were always on time. We took advantage of the private chef after a day of ATVing so we were very happy to have Jonathan cook a fabulous meal for us and teach us how to make the perfect Pina Colada! We also had massages by the pool which were fabulous.
We can’t wait to go back and stay at Paradise Breezes and can't say enough about how excellent Oscar is 😊� He made everything from start to finish the wonderful trip that it was. Pura Vida Oscar!

Incredible Experience in this Beautiful Villa!
My family had a wonderful time at this property. Beautiful house and view of the ocean. Toucans, sloths, parrots, and other amazing animals in the trees all around the home. Local activities were great fun. Locals were extremely welcoming. Personal chef was outstanding. And Oscar from the property management company took care of all our reservations, leaving us with no worries at all!

Beautiful modern mountain home in a remote rainforest.
Our family of 4 had a wonderful time at the Villa Encantada. The beds were extremely comfortable, the kitchen more than adequately stocked, and the quietest location on the remote side of the mountain, requiring a bit of grit driving a 4WD vehicle, well worth it for the daily visits by the toucans, whitetail deer, and wildlife rainforest night sounds. Our concierge, Oscar, booked excursions, the airport shuttle, and 4WD vehicle awaiting at the home for us. He also helped resolve questions/issues about the home promptly.
5.0 / 5.0
Excellent place, secluded location, lush greenery.
The property is well secluded in a private gated development of an enormous size. As for right now, the other nearest building is 2 kilometers away from the house. The house is an architectural marvel, modern design is well blended into the surroundings. The pool is great, you may enjoy nature viewing right from the water. Bird's life is remarkable here. We also enjoyed watching a sloth traveling through the property for three days. The property manager Oscar is extremely friendly and helpful, he speaks good English and always just a phone call away for help, if needed.

Great Family Stay at Villa Encantada!
3rd trip to CR, and 2nd to the Southern Region of CR was terrific. This Villa is accurately portrayed in its photos and is a great house for anyone, including young kids like ours, to enjoy. While it is a trek from either San Jose or Liberia to get to this region (either plane or we have driven), we have done this twice and it is well worth it if you are looking for luxury, but not in a high rise or resort community manner. The Villa is tucked back in foothills with Ocean views, daily visits from Toucan's/Aracari's/Parrots await. House is in a gated development and well taken care of by Oscar and Paradise Breeze mgmt. We had a terrific chef in Christopher for a few days as well, which I'd recommend to enjoy the evening view and kick back (Closest restaurants/grocery store are less than a 10 min drive). Ballena Bistro for lunch is a must as food is spectacular (south of Uvita). La Parcela a great spot with a view and very close. 4 wheel drive key as most homes are up steep dirt roads and but Villa Encantada not too far off highway (check if you are looking at other homes as some are way up the hills). Activities are endless. We walked the beautiful beaches, snorkeled with reef sharks, jumped off waterfalls, rode horseback, caught a 500lb Black Marlin and two sailfish (all released!)...all in 1 week. And we were just in one small part of this beautiful country.

Luxury Villas tucked away in the Jungle
This was our 3rd stay at Villa Encantada and our 7th at Paradise Breezes. What can I say... we love it there! The accommodations are superb, the staff is attentive and wildlife is truly amazing. If you go in the rainy season and book an extended period of time, it's a good deal too. We've been going to Costa Rica for over 10 years now, on over 15 trips, and I'm so glad Ivannia turned us on to PB.
What made this stay so special is that Carla and I we able to just relax. We've found that we're always playing tour guide for our friends and family when we're down there. This time, we were able to spend a lot of time at the house and observe the wildlife.
This year we had a sloth that appeared in the patio tree on 4 or 5 days and a plethora of frogs, toucans, and araucarias. I was hiking the road frequently (in case you wonder, it's 1.2 miles to the main gates at the highway) and saw quite a few packs of white-faced Monkies on numerous occasions. On a prior stay, we had 100's of parrots in the trees each day. You never know what to expect - every day is an adventure.
The location of PB is ideal, just off the main highway and only 10 minutes from Dominical for restaurants, bars, and of course the beach. Close enough to Manuel Antonio, yet far enough away that you don't feel you're surrounded by thousands of tourists like you do there. One of the reasons Villa Encantada is our favorite is that it's tucked away in the jungle, you literally cannot see another building from anywhere on the property. The sounds of the jungle are amazing, birds, crickets and frogs. So soothing and relaxing - that Pura Vida thing again.
I also surprised Carla for her birthday, with a visit from her daughter Amy. Oscar took care of all the details and made that happen with little effort on my part. We didn't go on many excursions this year but did go on the ATV tour through the mountains over Uvita in the rain and mud. At first, we were not happy campers. But once we stopped for some hot coffee (and had a few sips of the owner's private moonshine), it turned into the highlight of the trip.
If this is your first visit to Costa Rica, I recommend a week on the Pacific Coast and a week in the Arenal area, if you can. Villa Encantada at Paradise Breezes is my first choice. Villa Pacifico is a good 2nd choice with amazing sunset views. In Arenal, I recommend Arenal Springs Resort (not "The Springs").

Beautiful location for a Costa Rican holiday
The villa is large and very nicely decorated. The location is perfect for observing jungle life, such as toucans, in the trees right above the pool. The town of Dominical is a very short drive away and we loved the people and energy in the shops, restaurants and guest services. Horse-riding along the river to the waterfall and kayaking through the mangroves were fantastic. The concierge, Oscar, is extremely helpful with questions about the house and will give excellent tips on booking your activities.

Beautiful home in the jungle
We loved our stay at Villa Encantada. The home is full of anything you will need for a jungle retreat. Beautiful view, full kitchen, towels, poolside rafts and chairs and a lovely staff with Paradise Breeze - Oscar that can get you anything you need. More remote than the hotel heavy areas, this is a more private and relaxed way to experience Costa Rica's central pacific coast. Favorites were the ATV tour, snorkeling catamaran sailing cruise, Manuel Antonio park (get a guide- worth it) After ATV tour- get lunch at Road house- next door- amazing gourmet sandwiches- a big surprise. Happy Lobster was a favorite, as well as PorQue No for views and fish tacos. We had Christopher the chef come 2 nights and the food was amazing- he did cook large quantities so we ended up with 2 nights of left overs- bonus but recommend planning on that. Definitely need 4x4 car! Take that seriously. Great retreat to relax and enjoy the view and sounds of the jungle in between activities. Service is top rate. Thanks for a wonderful family week in the jungle and sunshine!

Amazingly beautiful, Secluded Villa
If you are looking for a "one of a kind" villa in the rainforest, this is it! The home itself is absolutely beautiful and unique, with portions of the house completely open to the outside. The wifi worked great, as did the washer/dryer. This villa really has all the comforts of home!! You can hear the animals chattering away at night and there is no question that you are far away from home! We were visited by frogs, toads, lizards, birds, insects and coati. The property surrounding the villa is beautiful and so secluded. You have the impression that you are in the middle of nowhere - no other people or homes can be seen or heard. In reality, you are only a short drive to Dominical Beach with tons of restaurants, shops and things to do. Before our arrival, we were contacted by Oscar who was so welcoming and easy to talk to. He answered any and all of our questions and really welcomed us to Costa Rica. He arranged all of our tours and provided us with driving instructions to each location. There was fresh fruit, cereal, coffee and milk ready for us when we arrived. We had a little problem with the air conditioning unit and Oscar arranged to have it fixed within minutes. We did the jungle atv tour, the river rafting trip, and the Cano island snorkling tour. I would absolutely recommend each tour. Every guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. It was obvious that they are so proud of their country and truly love their jobs. I would recommend this villa to anyone coming to Costa Rica. You definitely need an SUV to access this property and the drive to get to the home from the gated entrance to the paradise breezes complex is intimidating, at first. There are a lot of steep turns and inclines on unpaved roads, but as long as you have a 4x4 you will be fine!! We scheduled a massage with Raquel upon our arrival and it was great! She was a great massage therapist and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and able to relax. Highly recommend!!

Exceptional Stay
My family and friends had an exceptional stay with Paradise Breezes at Villa Encantada. The house was well maintained and appointed with beautiful view to the ocean and the surrounding rain forest. We loved waking up to our visiting Toucans and the almost daily visit of a Blue Morpho Butterfly. The Howler Monkeys although not seen were heard almost every day. Oscar and the other hosts from Paradise Breezes made our stay easy and uncomplicated. They were joyous to have around and excited about our visit. They took care of numerous details for us including the arrangement of cars and tours thereby freeing our time to enjoy our time in beautiful Costa Rica! They provided an immeasurable service. I would not hesitate to visit again and again. The house is architecturally beautiful and the pool is pristine. We wished we could have stayed longer to enjoy the newly appointed benches below the pool - a lovely addition.

Fabulous retreat tucked in a jungle paradise with great ocean view
Villa is stunning and very chic. This was a perfect retreat for our family of six. This was our first time to Costa Rica, and staying at Paradise Breezes with their fantastic concierge service and level of support was so helpful and made us feel very secure. Thank you Esteban and Oscar. You guys are wonderful!

Fabulously beautiful house right in the rain forest
First off I cannot say enough good things about Emanuel and the folks that run Paradise Breezes. They strike the perfect balance between being unobtrusive but always available and there when you need them. From helping with arrivals and departures to events and the house Emanuel was always there, friendly and smiling. The Villa Encantada itself is a jaw-droppingly beautiful house right in the jungle. You can't see another house just the jungle and the sea. It's well furnished and very well stocked. Our only mild complaint was that the inner part of the house (hall ways) are open to the jungle so you need to keep all internal doors closed all the time ... not a big deal for most but it was a slight annoyance. Of course that was quickly forgotten with the: view, animals, pool, cocktails, bbq, chef-dinner, events, morning breakfast at Cafe Mono Congo, etc... Would highly recommend this villa for anyone looking for a real in-the-jungle accommodation. btw. Definitely get a 4x4 vehicle ... you will need it to get to and from the house.

Exceeded our expectations!
First off, the villa is just extrodinary in both constructional design, spot on Internal/external decor, a natural, yet very professional landscaping that just happens to sit on the side of a mountain, in the middle of the jungle facing a georgeous view of the ocean! To boot, you have have a supporting cast of characters that include Monkeys(we saw a whole pack of about 20), Toucans, Parakeets, Giant Toads, a white tailed Coati, lizards, grasshoppers the look like the size of a Winston
Churchill cigars and the most amazing selection of butterflies!
Emmanuel and his team were amazing to deal with and made our experience that much more special, as they created our whole itinerary and created an adventures that we will never forget!
Hard to determine our favorites, as everything we did brought brought us a new experience. Do not miss the Juggle ATV ride into the jungle, this was an amazing trip that provided us amazing views while going through little mountain towns, to feeling like your are where no man has been before. Safe, yet adventurous. Do the side by sides ATV's as they handle well and a much more comfortable ride.. We loved Dominical Surf group, as they taught us how to surf one morning and then another day they guided our white water rafting tour. Henry and his team educated us throughout the trip on the local plants, animals and guided us down a safe and fun river that had amazing views, that let us to swim in a waterfall pool and then finalized the trip with a great Costa Rican lunch! Awesome day!
Be sure to visit Manuel Antonio park, as you will see tons of wildlife, but high,t recommend getting the guide. The horseback trip to the waterfall is a must do as well, as the waterfall is out of this world and you can actually do some of your own cliff diving. Breakfast and lunch are included and a great place to see giant parrots.
For food, hit Jolly Rogers (best wings, solid pizza and a real good burger,plus view is amaking), Happy Lobster, The Charter, Tortilla Flats for lunch, Porque No/La Pescala for an amazing views (food was average). Some of the best local food we had was on our adventure trips and we really never had a bad meal.
The best overall dinner by far was having the Chef's come to our villa and cook and it was hands down everyone's favorite. Do not miss out on that experience!
What made our trip was the passion of the Costa Rican people and their willingness to help you out!
We loved Costa Rica, and
