This is one of Costa Rica’s original luxury hotels and a member of the Small, Distinctive Hotels family. Like a castle perched high on a mountain top overlooking Herradura and Javi - Sunsets and dining here are some of the best in Costa Rica. Come here for the views and history, and dining!

Even though it was completely booked, it felt the opposite. Private, secluded and friendly, not to mention breathtakingly beautiful at every turn, we felt like we were one of only a few there. Food and atmosphere was top-notch. Service was exceptional. Would love to return with my entire family one day!

Place was very clean and nice, but that’s about it. Hot water didn’t work so we took cold showers. Asked one guy and told him what room we were in and he said he’d let them know. Never got fixed. Water for the toilet ran at all times. I tried to fix it because I was still waiting on them to fix the shower but that didn’t happen, so I gave up and just let it run. I’ve been going there for years to the pool and pool bar and never had an issue. I had read some reviews about bad service but I didn’t think it would be that bad. I was wrong, it was horrible. The dining was not good, food quality or service. I wasn’t even going to leave any kind of review until I finally had enough today. My wife went to the pool bar to order us some drinks and no staff was there. Waited 10 mins and still nothing, so she went upstairs to the bar by the restaurant. The bartender told her he’d be down there in a few. 22 minutes later, still no bartender. Went back upstairs to order drinks, and she finally came down with a beer that was barely chilled, was more warm than chilled. So I went upstairs and the other bartender was apologetic but at that point I wasn’t happy. It’s frustrating paying a premium at what seems like the nicest place in Jaco area and have that bad of food, service, etc. I will never again go there and I've been going there since 2017. Sad to see such a nice place be such a disappointment.

The Villa Caletes is one of my favorite places. The setting and views are amazing. The hotel is exquisite- with architecture matching some of the most luxury inns in the world. It does not disappoint in this regards. I was somewhat disappointed with the bed this time. I could feel and hear the springs. I will be back for the view but might stay elsewhere.

Very beautiful location. The views from this property are stunning. We had a private hot tub with our room and that was great to have. The restaurant was nice, a little pricey and they didn’t offer a free breakfast. Parking is also a little awkward and it’s not within walking distance to anything. We had a car and were able to come and go without a problem. But the property itself, gorgeous. The rooms were clean and beautiful and the staff were all very friendly! Would definitely recommend.

Awful rooms. Absolutely not worth the price point
This was like visiting a hotel from the twilight zone. The grounds are well maintained and the views are beautiful but the rooms are in a terrible shape. The room we got smelled poorly, the furnitures were run down, hardware in the crowded bathroom were broken and rusty. The linens were thin from use, far from white crispy linens you would expect from a 5 stars hotel that charges $600 per night off season. The room decor was extremely distasteful in tacky red and black, so dated. The room is located where you cant access carts so getting to the room was steep and slippery, having to get to it in a really rainy weather, felt unsafe. The door keys didn’t work, power dropped, wifi reception is inconsistent. Staff at the front desk was standoffish, didn’t offer a different room despite asking a few times. It was so unpleasant we tried to avoid staying in the room except for sleep I was extremely uncomfortable there. Total waste of money. Service was inconsistent, restaurant was ok. If you want to see the views pay for a day pass. So disappointed. See pictures attached: the pics on the site are misleading.
