This property is very relaxed and welcoming. The staff are highly attentive and really take care of you while you are on site. The addition of the animal sanctuary makes it a very eco-friendly destination.
We stayed for one week during which the surrounding jungle and wildlife were the stars of the show.

I stayed at Villas Alturas for 12 nights in December as I was doing some volunteering at the animal sanctuary adjacent to the villas.
The property has the most stunning views from the terrace and pool area overlooking the coastline. It is surrounded by lush jungle with all the sights and sounds you would expect.
It is quite isolated in its location which is both a blessing and a curse. It is at the top of an 800m gravel single track road on a very steep gradient.
If you want to leave the hotel grounds you definitely need to hire a car.
The villas themselves were very clean but are very dated. They are still very 1980s in the decor and could def do with a refresh on the interiors.
Great space tho. Shower was large and worked well. Small kitchen with fridge, oven and microwave. A few bits a bit rough around the edges but overall perfectly ok. Fantastic views from the villa terrace too.
My main gripe was that the pool area was very small (8 metre kidney shaped pool apx) and as such couldn’t handle many people to be there.
As a guest I would have expected the pool and terrace to be for guests only, however the reception area was a meeting point for the Alturas sanctuary tours so at times there was a procession of day trippers wandering around the pool area. I was there when people who only came for lunch were allowed to use the pool too.
So at times that area became very busy with non paying guests. They definitely need to create an area of separation for guests & day trippers.

Gorgeous Views

Absolutely beautiful views. I was there in the low season, so the restaurant was only open for breakfast. It was good food, small portions. Inside the cabina has a full kitchen, living room, and bedroom, with a good sized bathroom as well. It is super spacious and has an amazing balcony/patio with a hammock, rocking chairs, and table/chairs. it is a super steep rocky hill to drive up, somewhat challenging at night.

Paradise overlooking the ocean!

We booked this last minute as an alternative to our more rugged lodge in the mountains. It was a perfect antidote! The staff was exceedingly friendly and helpful, the location overlooking the ocean was breathtaking. The food was probably the best we'd experienced during out 10 day Costa Rican visit! Would definitely return!

Great value: views, peace and quiet

Beautiful hotel with excellent staff that are efficient with requests and speak great English; grounds are very well tended to by gardeners on site; rooms are very clean and kitchen is well stocked; efficient check in. Incredible views, quiet and secluded with howler monkey sounds at night. An easy 15-20 minutes to Uvita central, parque Ballena. Food is decently priced and very creative compared to most local fare. In the rainy season one would definitely need a 4x4 car to get up the hill, our 4x2 almost didn’t make it in the dry season. Great value- we will be back!

I can not say enough great things about our stay here. It was absolutely amazing. Our room was huge with a nice kitchen, bedroom had a comfortable mattress, the living room had a futon and the balcony view of the ocean was incredible. In the dinning area and pool area we saw and heard all sorts of wildlife. Monkeys were just down the driveway. Finally and most importantlye, the staff were all very accomodating and kind. Id love to be pen pals with the front desk girls (find me on facebook- sidney latch). You ladies really made our experience at this hotel special and we are so grateful to have stayed here for our honeymoon. Thank you for everything!

What a great place, we loved it! It is small, just seven one- and two-bedroom villas, so it feels very much like a private retreat. We stayed in #3 which had an amazing view of the ocean.

The food (we had one dinner and two breakfasts) was the best we had on this trip to Costa Rica. Can highly recommend the mani-mahi, and also the fresh pasta with shrimp and aurora sauce -- a tangy tomato sauce.

Don't miss the wildlife sanctuary just up the road. It's not part of the hotel, but the walking tour leaves from the lobby. One thing to note -- the air-conditioning unit is in the bedroom. It worked very well but there is not a unit in the living room/kitchen. We left the bedroom door open and it dried and cooled the living room but was still a bit warm.

My suggestion is that the sanctuary entrance fee would be waived for the villa’s guest. Also, a bidet can me included to keep with European standards. The food is okay, breakfast is the best however dinner lacks a bit of sabor. Overall, a beautiful place. I would definitely would go back again

The views were out of this world. We saw toucans and monkeys from the trees in the property. Amazing view of the pacific. The problem was the first night we arrived with bags filled with groceries- was the power went out, and stayed out for 15 hours. So our milk went bad. The emergency light in our room did not work. I work remote and the internet stayed out the entire time we were there. I understand it is remote and things happen but a warning would have been nice. Also I saw a shuttle to the bus advertised but there was no shuttle and a taxi to the beach cost $33, each way. It was still great but I would have liked to have had this information before I chose where to stay. Also the TV did not work without internet. I have little kids so some of the amenities issues was difficult.

Best place to stay in Costa Rica for us

I love this place. We stayed only 2 nights but out of the 4 places we stayed this is by far the best. Staff is amazing so kind and helpful. We were given villa #5 which has an ok view but saw Villa # 3 & 4 we open which has a much better view. We asked if we could move to #3 and it was no problem. Such an amazing view. Loved the patio. The air conditioning was only for the bedroom which was fine because we were never in the living room. Usually at the pool or on the patio if not out exploring. The food was good. Loved the atmosphere. If you want a view don't get Villa #6 Villa #8 has a great view and is right next to the pool. We will be back for a whole week next time for sure. Thank you all so very much!. The Sanctuary on the grounds was cute. A little expensive for the amount of animals to view but the guide made in entertaining. And the money does go to help the animals so... Oh and you will need a higher clearance vehicle to get up the road to the place.

Hilltop peaceful Oasis.

My gf and I stayed here. The villas are not 5 star accommodations, more like three, but the staff are so welcoming and wonderful that you are made to feel at home right away. My gf and I made dinner in villa 1 while we were here each night, and we basically had everything we needed. Any time we needed a pan or something, the staff was happy to lend it to us from the kitchen. The views from the hilltop location are pretty mind blowing. I’d love to go back.

Good hotel I great location

Bit of a trek from sanJose airport but well worth the trip. Close to both Dominical and uveta which have lots of activities like diving, surfing, horse riding etc. Lovely staff with amazing views. Next to animal centre so lots of wild animals to see.

Great Views

Our stay was amazing. The property is beautiful. The hotel was clean, spacious, comfortable, and had every amenity we could need. The view from our room was spectacular. We spent a good amount of time during our stay on the hotel porch watching wildlife. Th staff was extremely helpful. The pool was in great condition and the food tasted wonderful. I highly recommend staying at Villas Alturas. The property also has a wildlife sanctuary which was another great experience and bonus. The photo I attached is the view from the porch.

Enjoyed our time at this location. Staff was unbelievable and the food was great. We liked the local restaurants but preferred eating at the hotel for dinner because chef would come out and prepare specials meals for us. The place was quiet, peaceful, clean, and we felt at home. Definitely recommend this place to our friends and anyone looking to enjoy Costa Rica and the experience of the RainForest.

Beautiful small hotel with wonderful view

We just returned from 4 wonderful nights at Villas Alturas. We stayed in Villa 3. The view was spectacular! We had a lovely terrace that felt very private. Enjoyed sitting outside drinking coffee in morning, playing cards in the evening and reading in the hammock. The villa was large and comfortable with a separate kitchen, sitting area, bedroom and bathroom. It was larger than many one bedroom apartments. The staff was very helpful and could not have been nicer. The breakfast that is included in the stay was delicious with several options to chose. We ate dinner at the hotel 3 out of 4 nights. While the food was good, it would have been nice to have a variation of the menu.
The location was good. We were about 5-10 minutes to Dominical and about 10 minutes to Uvita. The Nacauya waterfall was about 20-30 minutes. Manuel Antonio took about one hour.
Would definitely recommend staying at the incredible property.

Would stay again!

Very spacious and comfortable accommodations. Great views of the Pacific and Whale's Tales but not too far off the main highway. Close to the sanctuary which we visit every time we are in the area. Our only disappointment was the menu change in the restaurant since our last visit. Menu geared more towards vegetarian tastes which is great but should include a pasta option or meat option for different people's tastes.

Went here on my honey moon and was blown away by the amazing experience. The staff and facilities here are truly a blessing. The view has no words and is the best around! The chef in site cooks up the best food in town and if that's not enough, breakfast is free and picked from a menu that is made to order. The villas come fully equipment me and my husband went to near by supermarkets and had no issues coming home to prepare meals. We visited other areas while in Costa Rica and nothing beat Villas Alturas! If you are staying in this area this is the place to be!

Paradise in Central Pacific Costa Rica

Location, location, location! This piece of paradise is located on a gorgeous rain forest hill right across the Pacific Ocean just off the main highway and only a seven minute drive from Dominical, one of the most beautiful beaches in the Pacific.

As you climb up the steep hill (bring a 4X4), you are sourrounded by beautiful trees, plants and local animals. As you get to the top and you enter the registration area your sight will inevitably be drawn to the magnificent view of the Pacific just over the swimming pool.

We were in villa #2 which was just beautiful. As you access the villa, a large outside porche with a full set of tables and chairs for six on the one side and four recliner chairs to the left, both under rotating ceiling fans. A hammock invites you to jump in and enjoy the magnificen view of the Pacific right in front of you.

Enter the villa and you will find ample spaces all around: the living room with a sofa and cocktail sets and large windows to contemplate the scenery. To the right the large dinning room with sitting for six and behind a large kitchen with all the trimmings . At the back two bedrooms each with a queen bed and their own extra large bathrooms, all sourrounded by deep, green rain forest. But beyond the natural beauty of this place is the people that make you feel at home: everyone was just so friendly, helpful and welcoming.

Anniversary Celebration

Our stay could not have been more pleasing. I had requested a flower arrangement, bottle of wine and a fruit tray to be in our room upon arrival. We arrived later in the day than anticipated because of a flat tire on the rental car and hard rain on a majority of the drive to the Villas from San Jose. Once we finally made it to Alturas we were warmly greeted by Maria who showed us to our Villa. The flower arrangement was beautiful and the fruit tray was enjoyed for several days during our stay. Lauren, Maria, Marco and the rest of the staff could not have been more accommodating during the entire stay. We only ate one dinner during the stay and it was very good. Breakfast was a delight every day and you almost didn't want to leave so you wouldn't have to miss the view. My wife and I really relished sitting out on the porch at night listening to the jungle sounds. One night was stormy and the lightening show created out over the ocean was breathtaking. We spent Three wonderful nights at the Villas and then spent the other Three nights in Manuel Antonio. Manuel Antonio was great but the laid back location of the Villas which is situated between Dominical and Uvita can't be beat. So much to do in the area and an easy drive back to Alturas to relax and sip a few cocktails. We would definitely return to stay and would probably end up staying there the entire time as it was such a delight.

Thank you staff for making our Anniversary celebration so special and very memorable !

Great spot but ask about adjoining room.

Beautiful spot on top of the world!

Our suite unfortunately was connected to another by just a door. We could hear our neighbors and they asked us (politely) to turn down our movie. It wasn't very loud. Less than expected when paying top dollar for accommodations.

If they fix this issue I would highly recommend this hotel.

Great View and Food - But Avoid Room #6

This place is worth it just for the view and the food. The free breakfast was delicious (and a lot of options on the menu). Also, we ate dinner there and it was one of the best meals of our trip. We were disappointed that we were given room #6 (especially considering I sent an email a day before checking in directly to the hotel requesting ANY room other than room #6 based on prior reviews saying it had a bad location and bad view) but still were assigned to room #6 because supposedly it was the only room available. Although it was very large and clean, the other rooms have much better views and are located in better locations (room #6 is next to the parking lot and main lobby so you can't leave the blinds open and the ocean view is almost entirely blocked by trees). So try to get a room other than room #6 and your stay will be perfect.

Loved Villa Alturas but don't stay in villa #6.

Started our stay in villa #4 - heaven!!! Huge and with incredible views. Very private. Moved to villa #6 - busy, 1/2 a view (1/2 jungle, 1/2 back of lodge, kitchen, etc.). Inside villa is spacious. Staff is warm and take great care of you. Food is delicious at the villa (but we did eat a number of meals in town). Views from the pool...priceless. Also, monkeys, tucans, wildlife everywhere. Highly recommend.

we loved our stay

We have stayed in a 2 bedroom villa with our 2 young kids for 6 nights, and we loved it !
The view on the ocean is breathtaking. the staff is very nice, friendly, warm. Karen has taken care of our kids like they were hers. Overall Marlon, Karen, Nikki and Andres have been super nice with us. The food was good, although I wish there was more fish on the menu. The villa was very comfortable, 2 good king size beds, a full size kitchen, equipped. I would only suggest updating the showers with newer fixtures and a handheld shower, as they look a little dated.
We had a really good time and felt sad to leave Costa Rica and Villas Alturas.
