Vista Celestial is a beautiful and extraordinary hotel. The service was fantastic and the attention to detail was second to none for our group of 20. I would highly recommend a vacation here if you are interested in spectacular views, peace and tranquility and a modern well appointed room with great amenities!

Staying at Vista Celestial was a stand out experience. The staff were exceptionally personable and accomodating. They made us feel special. The private villa was extremely clean and comfortable with high quality linens. The food and drinks were delicious. We loved our couples massage on the deck of our villa overlooking the Ballena National Park's whale's tail. This is a wonderful hotel for couples.

The views are incredible. The service is beyond. They can’t do enough for you with warmth and enthusiasm. The rooms are beautiful and done with exquisite taste. The atmosphere is casual, friendly and warm. Jose, Carlos, Anthony, Pam are terrific. The owners, Jennie and Greg are around the premises and always giving of themselves.

Vista Celestial is wonderful. The room is large with high ceilings and panoramic, unobstructed view of the whales tail (coffee on the deck with that view was perfect start to each day). A 4WD vehicle is required to access, but well worth it. We arranged all of our transfers in Costa Rica through ILT Costa Rica and it cost an extra $35 each way to switch to 4WD vehicle for the hill. But hotel did contact me prior to arrival to ensure we were aware of need for 4WD and offered to assist if needed (bottom line - don't let need for 4WD deter from staying here as this can all be arranged for you by hotel or 3rd party). Included in stay is free shuttle service to the beach/whales-tail each day (at set time; for custom time there is a charge; but set time was perfect for us). We stayed 4 nights and were a little concerned we would not have enough variety for meals, but the dinner menu was changed up each day, and every meal was superbly prepared and presented (our best meals of 2.5 week CR trip were here). Finally was the service; perfect. The staff is well trained and treats you like family. I highly recommend Vista Celestial.

I just got back to the US after a wonderful week at Vista Celestial. What an amazing resort that blends luxury accommodations with nature! The 5 villas offer stunning views of the iconic Whales Tail formation in the ocean, making every sunrise and sunset an unforgettable experience. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The fresh, delicious food highlights local flavors. I am missing the food and fresh smoothies so much after returning to the US. It was the perfect accommodations for our Pilates group. The jungle yoga platform is a true gem - perfect for Pilates while surrounded by the sounds of nature, with monkeys swinging through the trees for an extra touch of magic. Vista Celestial embodies the Pura Vida spirit and I am happy to bring the Pura Vida mindset home with me! I definitively recommend this beautiful place and hope to return in the future!

The pictures for this resort don't lie! This place is amazing - the views, the gardens, the jungle platform for yoga, it's so beautiful. Our group was the only group at the resort, and we had personalized attention. The food (3 meals a day) were thoughtfully planned and deliciously executed. The servers remembered our names, coffee and drink orders after only one day, and provided excellent service. The staff kept the grounds immaculate and the rooms were cleaned each day and turn down service provided at night. The owners were on property and introduced themselves to us, which was nice. Everyone on site had our best interests and enjoyment in mind and it made for a wonderful vacation.

Hands down, the most incredible service I've ever experienced! The resort is even more beautiful than pictured on their website. The villas were very well appointed with refrigerators, soaking tubs, indoor & outdoor showers, very high quality linens & private decks overlooking the famous Whale Tail. The food was excellent & you will absolutely not go hungry or thirsty. The staff was very accommodating & welcoming, planning wonderful excursions for us along with anticipating our every need. Highly recommend!!

The staff at Vista Celestial was incredibly helpful, kind and lighthearted. Truly was one of the best experiences I’ve had at a yoga retreat ever!! Also an incredibly romantic environment, a place to go within and source the peace that supports a deeper connection to nature.
