Great excluding raccoon visit
The lock on patio door did not work when we got there. The pole to block it had rolled under couch from previous guests or cleaning crew, so we didn’t know it was there. No one responded until we contacted again after 6 raccoons came in and ate about 100 in food before we woke up to scare them off. They did come and fix after our visitors but we were still out food and had to leave unlocked for first 4 days. We also asked them to send someone to clean up the mess, but that didn’t happen. We loved to deck/pool area.

Great Susnsets!
Nice Villa, close to pool, has everything you need for a great vacation. We wore shoes in the villa as the floors were dirty. Complex is very hilly and this villa sits up higher away from the beach with Great sunset views! There are shuttles to take you to the beach area. We did have visits from local cats, raccoons and a baby skunk.

Nice Villa
We enjoyed our stay at Villa 51 in Villa Sol. It is in a nice location in the villa, close to the pool and a nice walk to the restaurant. Overall we enjoyed our stay. We spent time every day at the beach, and enjoyed the food at the restaurant! We did have a hard time talking to the manager because he did not speak english and we do not speak spanish. The beds were very hard :(
Amazing private Villa, inside Villa Sol Hotel, next to Condovac La Costa.
Special big Thanks to William for all the assistance and help, he is outstanding host.

Easy vacation
We had a great time. We had a question during our stay and Jay replied to our message very quickly. (He had been responsive to a few questions from us before our arrival, too.)
The villa was clean and had everything we needed. The view is great, and the landscaping provides appropriate privacy from the neighbors even though the villas are fairly tight together. We didn't use the grill, but the deck can make for a great dinner area.
The resort shuttle service was really good - even though the resort was very busy during Easter weekend. It is nice that the villa isn't all the way up the hill. We usually used the shuttles going up hill, but walked down sometimes, which only took a few minutes. Having the villa be part of the resort worked out perfectly for us. The rental included all of the resort amenities except bar/food, which was perfect for us. When we used the resort restaurant, we just paid.
We didn't have a rental car, but there was parking available very nearby if we had needed it. We booked some tours through the resort desk, and they also booked a driver for us when we wanted to go to another area. We were glad that we had arranged airport transfers before we traveled, but the resort desk would arrange them.
This part of Costa Rica was very easy for us American tourists. There was enough English spoken by people in the tourism industry, and we used credit cards and US Dollars without ever exchanging currency.
We would stay at this villa again.

Family Gathering
This property is a reasonable place to stay. However, we did not start out on the right foot. After travelling all night from Canada, we got the key from the front reception and entered into a real mess. No cleaning had been done. It took us 2 hours to round up the cleaning staff, then 2 hours at the restaurant with an unexpected bill and several more hours waiting on the steps and outside the unit till it was ready for us. Not what we had expected. Jay needs to coordinate this better. So, I give it a 3 star rating on the cleanliness category, due to the delay. It was well cleaned and ready for us, once it got done around 6 pm.
6 of us shared family time here. The a/c is new and worked well. The pool is a short walk away and was very welcome. The kitchen is well equipped with all items needed, except that the wine and drink glasses are in sad quantities and selection. Jay needs to buy complete sets of wines glasses and general drink glasses so that 6 people (and 2 dinner guests one night) could complete a reasonable choice of beverage glasses. What is there now is quite mismatched and deficient.
The patio furniture, as others have commented, is quite flimsy and uncomfortable. Needs replacement.
Other than those 2 details, the condo is quite as advertised and very comfortable.
The beach is pleasant. It’s is walkable if you like to have a bit of exercise. The shuttle buses are very convenient for going to and from if you choose to go with them

To view as excellent, other than declining this when I arrived and the poor Patty of furniture the remainder of my experience was fa tastic. Couldn't ask for a better property manager.

Beautiful Stay
We travelled here with 4 children, ages 6-13. The villa and view are beautiful. You will not be disappointed. It is full of helpful amenities like washer and dryer and dishwasher. The resort is great. Lots of activities for the kids and staff are friendly and helpful. You can purchase an all inclusive option at the hotel but to be honest, it is a buffet option and the food is not always amazing-although it was on Xmas Eve! The beach is beautiful and we spent a lot of time there. The only negative is that due to proximity to villa, you need to travel there by using 2 shuttles and this can sometimes take time. Not a deal breaker though. Overall, this was an amazing stay and we would do it again. Thank you to our hosts!

Great view and comfortable
The view from the deck is great to sit and have morning coffee to contemplate the day and the sunsets were even better. We didn't need anything. Everything we needed to prepare food was there without improvising with utensils, as we've done in past rentals. A/C was great. Bathrooms were clean and bright, beds very comfortable.
The shuttle service is just steps away and the drivers were very accommodating. I took my Paddleboards to the beach every morning and the drivers picked me up in front of the villa and helped me load and unload them and provided direct service to the beach and back the villa.
We had quite a bit of wildlife joining us every night around 8pm, including a Coati who just sat on the slope below the deck.
The neighbors are great and the whole Villa Sol property well maintained.
I would recommend Playa Hermosa and this property to anyone going to Cost Rica for the first time.
Owners quick to reply to my whatsapp messages. Thank you Cinthya and Jay!

Great view, nice property, close to fun activities
Had a great stay in Playa Hermosa, one of our favorite beach cities in Costa Rica. The property was well stocked with the necessities and the patio was a great place to enjoy the view to end the day. It is located in a resort style community and it has a shuttle to take you down to the beach with ease. There are two pools you can access, we enjoyed the pool near the restaurant, it was less crowded, with only two pools on site, they can get busy. Everyone on the property was helpful and friendly, would recommend a stay here!

Impressive Views, Excellent Stay
You cannot go wrong staying here! Everything is as wonderful as is described in the reviews and the Property’s description. The Villa’s kitchen is fully equipped with many extras that other properties don’t include. The common area is very large, as is the patio/balcony. The beds are comfortable and the washrooms & showers are clean and modern. The amazing view from the patio/balcony greets you every morning with a spectacular vista and every evening with outstanding sunsets that will take your breath away.
Cynthia, the property manager is very responsive and professional. You never have to wait long for her to respond to your questions or concerns. She can also help you with booking excursions and car rentals.
The beach is an easy 5-10 minute walk or you can use the free shuttle that comes and goes frequently. Villa Sol also has 3 wonderful pools, that you can use. One pool is two minutes away.
We had a outstanding time here and look forward to returning next year. Pura Vida

Great house!
The house was great for our family. We made meals there to save some money at restaurants and enjoyed the beautiful view and appreciate the complete kitchen that was available! We did have a problem with the refrigerator which took a couple of visits by a technician to fix, but this was taken care of by the property manager. A few new pillows might help for a better night sleep.
The area is very pretty with many things to do. Sunset cruise and playing at the beach were the best.

Well equipped, well situated villa with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, veranda overlooking bay. Beautiful
This was our first trip to Costa Rica and Cinthya was extremely helpful in getting us situated. She went out of her way calling car rentals when our reserved vehicle wasn’t available. The villa is well equipped with a full kitchen, dishwasher, washer and dryer, microwave, gas grill on the veranda was wonderful. We cooked most meals as our son is a chef. Good large grocery store in Coco Beach with fresh seafood and everything you need. We ate out our first night at Roberto’s on the beach. Excellent seafood. The grilled whole red snapper was wonderful! We took days trips to Monteverdi to zip line over the forest canopy and a coffee tour (Don Juan’s) and had breakfast near Don Juan’s at Belarus on the road going toward Don Juan’s. Great eggs, beans and rice dish. We also made a day trip to Rio Celeste and waterfall with hiking. The day trips are very doable with a four-wheel drive vehicle as some of the roads are rough when you get off pavement.
We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this villa!
PURA VIDA!!!

Gorgeous place with an amazing view! Playa Hermosa is such a prefect breach for a family get away
We loved every minute of our stay in Costa Rica and absolutely loved staying in the Villas. There are shuttles that get you to the nearest restaurants or beach. The beach is so laid back and beautiful with so much to do and multiple restaurants to choose from. Prefect place!
