We just got back from an 8 day trip to CR, 4 of which were spent at BVV. This place is perfect if you want a secluded open-air spot in the forest. Nothing beats waking up to howler monkeys and a multitude of birds and other wild life literally outside your window. Everyone else has already said everything I'd want... More

The owner of Buena Vista Villas, Jay, is a long time resident of Nosara and an excellent resource for where to go and what to do ideas. He was always accessible to chat during my 5 night stay which I upped from my original reservation of only 2 nights because I liked BVV, Nosara, the other guests at BVV too... More

I had the extremely fortunate opportunity to be an extended stay guest of Jay's at Buena Vista. I was working and playing in Nosara for about a month. I came upon Buena Vista thinking I'd maybe stay a couple of nights. I left five weeks later. The stay couldn't have been better. Having seen most of what the market offered... More

Clean, well appointed rooms and a great setting with nice views. Jay the owner is a very nice man who has excellent advice about the local area that he doesn't mind sharing. It is a little tucked away from the main spots, which I liked but I would say that it is probably best for those with transportation as it... More

We recently stayed at Buena Vista for a week. Jay, the owner, was their to greet us and made our stay feel just like a second home. The hotel is nicely tucked in on a hill with great mountain and ocean views, with an incredible almost holistic ambience. The place is fully furnished but is not your run of the... More

A GREAT place to chill and recharge between surf sessions. I brought my own groceries and was able to prepare food in the mini kitchen. Cool breezes from the mountaintop location made sleeping or reading in the hammock on the balconey a pleasure. Plus Jay, my host had a nice quiver of surfboards I could choose from to rent. A...

We stayed at Buena Vista Villas about a week ago. It's away from the beach area so it's very quiet. The view is breath taking and the grounds are a beautiful jungle garden. The rooms were clean and well appointed and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Jay set us up with a great kayak trip and can fix... More

Our room was clean and cool, not needing a/c in the evening. Our view of the ocean was wide open and we could hear the howlers each morning. They have a observation tower to check the waves and it was an easy drive down the hill to Playa Guiones or Playa Pelada. (We ate at Olgas at Pelada for most... More

Stayed here a few weeks ago and it was awesome. Jay and Paul are great hosts and Jay told us all about the local breaks. The place is on top of a mountain that is just far enough away from "town" to be quiet and nice but not too far. We even saw monkeys up by our room one day... More
