Pefection at Bella Vista
Review Submitted: November 18, 2009

Bella Vista IS THE PERFECT VACATION LOCATION, I do not see how there could be room for improvement!
The view, the pool, the Jacuzzi, the staff, Carlos and Gina, were perfect! The food, the cleaning, the service and attention to detail was unmatchable.
Our personal Concierge, Peter "Dutch" was top notch! Of course I could not fail to mention his service.
It was quite obvious to us that we were his only clients and simply the most important thing in his life. However, he made it imperative that we never felt we were imposing.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
We'll be back!!!!

Staying at Bella Vista was an amazing time. Our group of 5 loved everything about this incredible and lavish home. Our group has traveled all over the world and has stayed in many amazing rental homes. Bella Vista is by far the best! I would recommend this amazing home to anyone and everyone. Simply breathtaking from top to bottom. What a great staff, great location, tons of activities, and breathtaking views. The house staff, Gina and Carlos were so friendly and cooked amazing authentic meals. Peter was outstanding and very helpful with all of our needs. And the Wifi worked great!!
We have already planned our next trip to return. Can't wait!

We went for a girls vacation retreat, and had the BEST vacation ever!!! The house is spectacular, the help (Gina and Carlos) delightful, and the food amazing! We would love to return for another vacation.
The house is extremely beautiful in the midst of the rain forest, close to the beach, with an amazing infinity pool, and breathtaking views.
I'm an Interior Designer by trade, and this house surpassed my expectations!
This home is perfect for a honeymoon, anniversary, family get together, or just plain fun!
I went with a group of 10 girls and would do it again in a heartbeat! We all fell madly in love with Carlos and Gina, they pampered us and made the best food imaginable!

The house definitely exceeded all expectations. The pictures online do not do it complete justice. The pool overlooking the ocean is absolutely spectacular.
Gina and Carlo (live-ins) took great care of us during our stay. I had concerns about privacy considering they would be staying in the house with us, but their room was downstairs away from the rest of the rooms and my concerns about privacy were completely unfounded. In addition, Troy and Peter (property managers) did a great job arranging events for us prior to our arrival. All the arrangements went smoothly and the entire group had a great time.
I would definitely recommend the home to anybody who is looking for first class accommodations and a relaxing environment. It is quite a drive (about 15 minutes) to get up to and down from the property, but this was a small issue relative to all the advantages.

we had the best of time enjoying that great house! It was amazing!,from the views o the ocean,sunsets,pool,jazcuzzi and rooms.We were a group of 4 adults and 5 kids. The caretakers and Peter took care of us and met our needs. The caretakers cooked home cooked meals,served,cleaned you name it. When my son got sick Peter took him to the doctor at 700am and me to the ATM. We cannot wait to come back!
Doesn't get any better!

This is the most enchanting home ever! We had the trip of a lifetime, the grounds were immaculate, the rooms and views were simply stunning. Also, Carlos and Gina stole the show with their incredible meals and hospitality. Our kids were crying when we had to go! Simply put, this trip was unforgettable and we thank you very much for the opportunity to stay in your lovely home!
Owner's Response: Thanks Mike, So glad to hear all went well. Please come and visit us soon, we'd love to have you back!
The best house ever!

Pura Vida...if you haven't made it to CR...that's their term/greeting of choice. What does it mean? Pure Life. This house/region personifies it!
Jump in the golf cart for a 10 minute scenic ride to one of a handful of restaurants. My favorite: the one where the monkeys come and eat off the railing. This is living!
The house...like something you've never seen. Hand-carved wooden pillars the size of light poles greet you at the entrance. Upon entering, Gina and Carlos are prepping a fresh Costa Rican dish, or offering a fresh platter of fruit or local, fresh-brewed coffee...straight from the coffee fields. Coffee lovers-this SMOKES Starbucks!
I could go on and on...but if you're on the fence, this is your spot:
- Good staff
- Beautiful House
- Wildlife for days
- Beatiful beaches
- Views to die for
- Good management
Will definitely return. 5 Star Vacation in all areas.

The pictures on the web site do not do it justice. You have to feel the place and when you step in the front door you realize that you are in paradise. Within the first 30 minutes of being there we were in the pool with Scarlett Macaws flying around us and whales swimming off the coast. As soon as we arrived Carlos and Gina greeted us with warm smiles( that trascends all language barriers) and fresh ceviche. The staff was there for all our needs but gave us our privacy. This house is beautiful and from the moment you arrive will feel totally relaxed.
Heavenly vacation

I was on holiday with a mix of family and friends over New Years. We had both children and adults there. The house is big enough and set up in such a way that everyone can have privacy when desired. There is so much to do for both adults and children so everyone was entertained. There is a great surf spot about 20 minutes drive from the house and lots of fun hikes right from the front door. We walked to a restaurant down the hill that has a bunch of monkeys jumping around. We sat and ate and watched them which was definitely a unique experience. The kids loved doing the zip line and we all went horse riding a few times which was a great way to see the area.
Having cocktails on the balcony at sunset was magical. The house was really well appointed and clean. All in all it was a wonderful experience. I can't wait to go back. Thank you!
