Vista Celestial

We had an outstanding stay at one of the best hotels we’ve experienced! From the moment we were picked up at the airport, everything was exceptional. The hotel itself is stunning, and the views from the villa are truly breathtaking. The staff were genuinely nice and always willing to accommodate any requests. The concierge team was also incredibly helpful, organizing our excursions and transportation efficiently. The food was really good, catering to our party’s various dietary restrictions with ease. In short, we can’t wait to return!

My wife and celebrated our 1 year anniversary here and it was beyond amazing. The property is very intimate and peaceful. The food was amazing, the drinks were amazing. We loved our room and view so much that we didn't want to leave the property to explore the town. The staff was all very friendly. I would highly recommend this property especially if you want an intimate and romantic trip!

This had to be one of the best experiences of my life. I had no idea what to expect. I had never been on a Yoga Retreat before, nor had I ever visited Costa Rica. The accommodation was unbelievable! The staff was incredible. They were always there when you needed them and genuinely cared for your stay and your expectations. I am going back to Vista Celestial! I highly recommend the cacao ceremony and the coffee trip!

My husband and I went to Vista Celestial for our honeymoon last month. We have to say that it was an absolute PHENOMENAL experience. The villa was amazing with a GORGEOUS view, the food was so DELICIOUS, and the staff was so attentive and thoughtful. They made us feel so welcomed when we came and kept us smiling and laughing throughout our stay. Jenny, the owner introduced herself and welcomed us to Vista Celestial. Our driver, Alfredo, was very punctual and provided us with a lot of Costa Rican history/ knowledge to and from the airport. The housekeeping staff kept our room clean and cute each day. We had such an amazing time, we did not want to leave. THANK YOU SO MUCH to EVERYONE at Vista Celestial who was able to make our honeymoon special! There were so many amazing and friendly faces that made our experience so beautiful and we know there were many more people in the background who also contributed to our experience . We cannot wait to visit again and hopefully next time with more members of our family.

TLDR: This review and all the other 5 star are true. If you love adventure and the outdoors, you won't be disappointed! My wife and I went to VC in December on our Honeymoon. As someone who did tons of research and read numerous TripAdvisor reviews before booking a trip, I had high expectations of VC after reading all of the other reviews. Those expectations were met and exceeded in every way! With the small number of people at the hotel at any given time, you are treated like royalty during your stay. STAFF: Incredible! Attentive. Friendly. Accommodating. By the end of the trip, the staff were friends and it was hard to stay goodbye. Jose, Josue, Anthony, Pam, Henry, and Noelia are the best! But those are only the people you see most days. There's a unsung team behind the scenes always making the grounds look clean and beautiful. As well as cleaning up your room seemingly anytime you leave it for more than 5min. FOOD/DRINK: Delicious! Fresh. Filling. Never boring. Josue, Johnny, and Adriana are masters at their craft. Dinner menus were always different with multiple options to choose from. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were always prepared beautifully. The drinks were delicious and we enjoyed having the bartenders surprise us with their creations. We definitely came home with some new cocktail recipes to make ourselves, but will also miss getting brought another drink whenever ours was low. ROOMS: The view is second to none! The villas are beautiful and always kept clean. A/C works great and there's plenty of hot water. While they are all right next to each other, they are very private and you feel like you have your own slice of the jungle to yourself. The walk from the rooms to the pool/restaurant is very doable but you definitely get your stair steps in for the day. THE JUNGLE: Remember, you are in the jungle. While the rooms are very clean, if you can't deal with the occasional gecko, spider, or ant that sneaks into your room or birds chirping at sunrise, this place isn't for you. That jungle is also so lush and it is what you are there for. We were there at the beginning of the dry season, so I can't speak for other times of the year, but it still rained every day. Mostly not very heavy and mostly only for 10-20min at most. Because of the elevation of the hotel, the days are very pleasant even if there is sunshine and nights are very comfortable as well. TRANSPORTATION: We had transportation included in our package and anytime we wanted to go to the beach VC arranged everything. As mentioned by others, you need 4x4 to reach the hotel. The drive from the airport is well over 3hrs on winding but paved roads until you need to take the dirt road up to the hotel. You are there for the serenity and exclusivity, so we didn't mind the bumpy rides to and from town and the long commute to and from the airport. Have fun and say hi to the staff for us! -Kyle
