I went to Costa Rica to celebrate my friend's 50th birthday and I had a fantastic time. Yes Costa Rica is beautiful but what made the trip so wonderful were the people who served us the entire trip. I give thanks to the maids Rosa and Migdalia, the chef Gabriel, bar attendant Cristian, and security Adino. All of you were... More

I chose Costa Rica as the location to celebrate my 50th year and Villa Buena Onda as the place my 2 girlfriends and I would stay. I booked through Costa Rican Vacations with Theresa Parent. Based on how she serviced me, I had no doubt that all would go fine. I travel a lot and have been many places. This... More

We spent a long weekend at Villa Buena Onda and they did not miss a beat from the moment we made our first inquiry. The service from pre-arrival booking process to the moment we were dropped off at the airport for our departure was professional, accurate and efficient. I am confused by below review because Dayana and the entire staff... More

Amazing time. Great place. Great staff/service. Great food. Very clean and comfortable (all rooms had full bathroom and room/bathroom cleaned everyday and linens towels changed as well). Close by to all the great excursions and the airport. The "house-mom," Dayana, was the best (from start to finish). Perfect combination of chill/relaxation and partying. Highly recommended.

I am terribly sorry to hear that your stay at Villa Buena Onda did not meet all expectations. As you can see from our past reviews, outstanding service has always been a strength for us, so it is disappointing that we fell short for you and your group. We appreciate that you were kind enough to compliment the property, despite... More

It was a magical 8 days...the Villa is stunning, the CR people are wonderful friendly folks, the countryside is beautiful..but the jewel is the Villa and its staff. The concierge Dayanna is an amazing hostess and is one of the most organized person i have ever met...she has it all together for sure! The Chef Gabreial is 4 to 5... More

It was my 4oth birthday party with my family. From the moment we arrived at the airport our every need and wish was taken care of by the Driver and the staff at the Villa. It was the first trip out of the country for my teenagers and they had a once in a life time experience. We went snorkling,... More

We visited two years ago and our review said, "Can't wait to go back." Since then, life has become so much more stressful....Villa Buena Onda did it again--it provided a blend of party time for the celebrations of life and restful, peaceful hours for the relaxation and renewal that we so desperately needed. We love the building...expansive rooms, high ceilings,... More

Our family (9+) spent a week at Villa Buena Onda in late September to celebrate my sister's 40th birthday. We had a fantastic "party week". The staff was amazing! The chef prepared excellent meals consistently through the week. The bartender kept the tropical beverages flowing, and the consierge did an amazing job in arranging fantastic tours (e.g. kayaking, zip line,... More

I stayed at Villa Buena Onda a few weeks ago and it was truly a relaxing and care free vacation! The house was beautiful, clean and spacious. There were amazing views from every bedroom and common area in the house. I was with a group of 18 people and there was plenty of space in the house. The staff was... More
