“Best stay of our trip! Amazing service.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

person found this review helpful

This boutique hotel is spectacular. After 7 nights touring around Costa Rica, we needed a hotel for one night before we flew out of Liberia, and since Coco/Hermosa are only 30 minutes away, we figured we would look there. We had no reservations, just wanted to find something when we arrived. After checking out the beach are of Coco, I saw a road heading up the mountain, and figured we would give it a drive, as the views from up there must be amazing. Low and behold, we found this beautiful little hotel sticking out of the side of the mountain. I walked up, and was greeted by the owner Bonnie, and with great hospitality, she had us in a room. The hotel is a small, 3 story building, where each room is on the shared patio area, with access via a large sliding door. The view is phenomenal, and the only thing that topped it was the service.
After setting us up with a room, Bonnie then gave my wife and I each a drink after our long day of driving, which we enjoyed on the patio. We then met Coley, the manager, who chatted with us for a while, made some great recommendations for the afternoon. She does the cooking in the morning, and when we told her that due to our flight, we would be gone before breakfast was served, she insisted on coming in early to make us breakfast, and showed up at 6am. The omelette on the patio with sunrise was an amazing way to finish our trip.
We didn't get a chance to use the infinity plunge pool, but we did sit up on the rooftop patio area and watched the sunset. I highly recommend this hotel, in fact this little jewel of a hotel was the surprising highlight of our trip.

“Casa Vista Azul - It's All About The View!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2011

Imagine the wonder of waking to the sounds of howler monkies raising a ruckas right near by this House With A Blue View. I was also able to witness a large flock of bright green parrots as they flew by with a noisy morning greeting meant just for me... but at Casa Vista Azul it's
all about THE view.

You can enjoy looking out at the Playas Del Coco Bay from this mountain perch.

In the Bay you will observe two rock formations that - when you let your imagination run a little bit wild - look exactly like a giant mother turtle (on the left) facing her little baby girl turtle (on the right)

Superstition has it that (only when you really believe) during a fiery Costa Rican sunset you may be able to actually be able to see the giant mother turtle slowly move toward her little baby girl and give her a baby a great big kiss... but only when you believe!

“Serene, beautiful views and will be back!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2011

Really enjoyed the quiet, the spectacular view of Papagayo Gulf, the green plush hillsides, sunsets, lightening show. Pool was great to cool down and relax.
the staff was great, rooms always clean and fresh. Great breakfast, coffee always ready when I was. Great suggestions for tours and restuarants.

Really enjoyed the local flair..open markets, fresh seafood, nite life with local music and then home at Casa Vista Azul for final relaxation under the stars. Enjoyed the howling monkeys in the hills right next to us.

I would highly recommend a stay here and I will come back.

Room Tip: If you want quiet tis is the place to be. Nite life can be loud in town. Cant beat the views or the...

i have been here beginning of april, Ithought i would have stayed a couple of nights, I almost stayed 2 weeks :) location is on the mountain aorund playa del coco, so you will have a great view of the bay even if you are a little bit far from the main beach. i really loved this place and I came here driven mainly by the reviews. all confirmed: staff is great in assisting for any trip you might want to do, breakfasts are super and most of all you are treated like a prince!
