Enjoyed 3 nights here and it was not early enough time. Everyone ... I mean everyone there is friendly and focused on providing excellent service during your stay. They provided our itinerary and scheduled all of our taxis and transfers to airport which is so much closer than expected. The spa is amazing and so private. They also support two schools with supplies and uniforms so it’s nice knowing the community is positively impacted. Our new home away from home for this couple.

I absolutely loved it here! I was scared to travel alone and wanted a hotel that was all-inclusive and small and quiet. I'm so glad I found this place. The staff were really great and friendly and made me feel like a little sister instead of a guest. Alex, Jeniffer, Cesar, Carlos, Francisco, Javier and Christian and all of the staff even the drivers were wonderful and pleasant and made me feel very comfortable and safe. The hotel is beautiful and well-kept. The restaurant had delicious meals. Even if I was late for lunch or breakfast the waiters and chef still accommodated me and I appreciate that so much. I loved my stay here and can't wait to go back.Thanks guys!

Beautiful property with a very accommodating staff! Best banana dac on the island

The small size of the property was an asset for us because we were looking to relax in some peace & quiet. The property is the type of place that is quiet at night and where you get to know the rest of the guests (only 8 rooms). We left extremely happy, but the charm of its size may not be for everyone. The property is as pictured. Although we appreciated the small size of the property, there are inherent limitations when several people would like food / drink / assistance and there isn't enough staff to go around. While this wasn't the norm during our stay, it is worth noting that you can't get in a hurry here. *wink*

This eight room boutique hotel has gorgeous landscaping and views. The rooms were clean and nicely furnished including a super comfortable bed. I only wish the room had a mini fridge. The staff is very helpful and friendly and catered to all our needs. A few dishes in the all-inclusive food plan where excellent and most were good, but not what I consider top-notch. I did appreciate the willingness to accommodate my dietary restrictions.

Great place to stay and relax. Food very delicious exept for the Gallo Pinto which could be way better. Very friendly staff, great location and fantastic pool with background relaxing music 😏

Staff and hotel are wonderful. Shelly, Cristian, and the rest were the highlight of our stay.

Stunning property, beyond our expectations. Staff very attentive, professional and kind. The food is incredible! We did not want to leave.

Villa Buena Onda exceeded our expectations. Each meal was delicious, satisfying, well balanced and meticulously plated. Every employee that we met greeted us with a warm smile and welcoming heart. The facilities are beautiful, clean and well mantained. The views are spectacular and It was a joy to learn about and enjoy the Costa Rican ecosystem. We thoroughly enjoyed massages at their Secreto Spa and delicious drinks at happy hour, daily. This is a true gem perched atop a mountain. We will most certainly return. Until next time, Pura Vida!

Great place and great food!!!! Only complaint, our room was by the Kitchen.

This was the absolute perfect Costa Rican getaway for my fiancé and me. We spent the first half of our trip at one of the larger all inclusive resorts, and this was infinitely better. We stayed in an ocean view suite and it was absolutely perfect in size and was clean and comfortable. I couldnt have asked for a better room for the price. The staff was unbelievably friendly and helpful and available for everything we needed. They also provide a daily shuttle to and from the various beaches which was the perfect way to explore. We didnt do any excursions from this hotel, but they have tons of info available and were able and ready to help plan trips. I honestly cannot recommend this place enough. The food is FANTASTIC and yes, the drinks are an additional cost, but they are reasonably priced and are large and not made with cheap liquor like they are at some of the all inclusive places. If youre looking for a relaxing and private getaway, this is the place for you!

Jennifer and Shelly couldn't do more to make our stay a great one! A slice off heaven!

My husband and I booked our trip to Costa Rica to celebrate our five year anniversary, and we couldn't have been more pleased with Villa Buena Onda! It's a small hotel (only 7 rooms) with a small staff (10 people, I think) that leads to a very personal feel. The meals (3 a day, included) were delicious and served on a patio with a beautiful view of the ocean. The staff is willing to do everything possible to make your stay the best it can be, from arranging travel between sites and tours to making some delicious drinks during happy hour! The hotel is a few kms away from the beach so it's very quiet (except for the wildlife you can hear in the trees), and they offer a free shuttle to a couple different beaches in the area. The staff will even help you decide which beach to visit depending on what you're looking for, ie a quiet beach for relaxing and swimming or a more touristy area with shops and restaurants.
