Everything was as advertised. House was great and staff provided excellent service.

Our stay was the Highlight of the vacation. We stayed with family and friends with kids and had the best time of her life.

Had the most relaxing time

This was our second stay at Maravilla. The property is showing some wear compared to three years ago. However it is still a beautiful villa in a remarkable location. The pictures do not capture the views adequately. The staff are all very good. We did not know ahead of time about the breakfast buffet that was cooked each morning and was delicious. The floors could have been cleaner. The last night of our stay we had a significant water leak from one of the A/C units. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would definitely return in the future.

Just like pictures, nice, clean and safe! Our wonderful housekeeper making breakfast every morning was an added bonus. Concierge was very attentive and helpful. only fault was not having English speaking tv in rooms. Highly recommend

We had such an exceptional trip. As a family of 9, ranging in age from 78-9 years old, finding a place that appealed to everyone wasn't easy, but Costa Rica, and specifically this house, hit it out of the park. First, the view is epic and the photos just can't really capture how awesome it is. The house feels like a hotel — every room has a balcony and a view and an en suite bathroom, the living room is so grand, we could all sit on the couch comfortably, and then there's Armelin who cooked up a delicious spread every morning (and even packed us breakfast burritos to-go on days we had to leave early). Guillermo, our Star Villas concierge, was clutch. He was on top of everything and helped us schedule in-home chefs and activities. Playa Hermosa is a pretty small town, and you'll need to drive to larger grocery stores etc, and the roads are steep and pretty rough in some areas so I highly recommend hiring a driver through Star Villas. Our driver Livingston was great, he made some of the longer drives more interesting by pointing out different agricultural things and even wildlife on our Palo Verde boat ride. There's literally nothing I would change about this place, 100% worth it.

The whole experience was top notch. From Gabriel our driver picking us up at the airport, to Guillermo meeting us at the house and showing us around, to Armaline fixing us breakfast every morning and cleaning the house including freshening up our rooms. The staff is superb. Now the HOME, it is fabulous and everything you see in the pictures, but even better live and in person!! I would highly recommend this place and it's staff.
