We stayed at this location for 6 days and recommend it to anyone planning a trip here. All of the staff were outstanding, the on site restaurant, pool, and bar were very convenient also. The beach was steps away from the room and had easy access to town.

Needs improvement

Reviewed By travelbob1

First time visiting for two days. The room was sufficient but had a musty air, not uncomfortable but noticeable. Looked forward to getting out to the beach. waited for the shuttle advertised running every 30 minutes (nothing specific for that stop) from 8-5. Waited, waited...asked staff ( had trouble communicating) who called and assured just 10 minutes...waited 45minutes. Same when looking to return. At NO TIME where we told the shuttle was only available upon request, contrary to the signs saying they run continuously.Called reception later and was told no buses are running as described with just an apology. Still no correction was made to the signs. I understand we are in a foreign country that is proud of their culture and language, but if you wish to attract English speaking guests more staff need to be dual language speakers or know how to find one. Overall the grounds look a bit in need of attention. The white beach tables and benches were covered in the morning with puddles of water and looked worn. There was no one who spoke English to answer questions. Some helpful guests provided translation.

Nothing fancy. Very nice swimming pool able to drive into town and have the Covid tests needed to return home and do some shopping

The Kind of Place That Lingers in Your Mind Long After You Leave!

Reviewed By dyob2021

I had stayed at Villa Caletas many years ago and had dreamed of returning. When I finally did return in May 2022, I am pleased to say it was every bit as beautiful, welcoming and peaceful as I remembered it to be. The staff is the best Costa Rica has, catering to every need with that very special graciousness of the Costa Rican people. The hotel itself is magnificent! Every Villa is unique and luxurious. Artwork everywhere! The restaurant food was delicious! The spa was amazing ~ how could you go wrong with a massage accompanied by gentle rain falling and tropical birds singing. The trip down to the beach was so much fun riding in the back of the truck. Even the gift shop had great and one-of-a-kind treasures. Thank you to everyone at Villa Caletas who helped make my stay a truly memorable journey! I would HIGHLY recommend a stay!!

We loved the resident pet cats and dogs (especially Romeo the cat!)

Reviewed By JasonD4121

We had a short but sweet 1 night stay. Friendly staff, friendly dogs and cats...especially a juvenile cat named Romeo whom my daughter absolutely adored. Even if DoceLunas didn't have delicious food, a spacious, clean, comfortable room with ice-cold AC, friendly and helpful staff, free bicycles to borrow, or the beautifully landscaped grounds and resident capuchin monkeys....even if it didn't have all of that, it would have been worth it to stay there just to pet Romeo the cat.

Didnt know what to expect but was happy. Our rooms were very comfortable (got a 2bdrm) and overlooked the pool. My only complaint was the gym. You must make a reservation and they only allow one person at a time. Breakfast was great as well. Close to downtown

Nice place but needs to tweak a few things

Reviewed By katemahealani

Comfortable bed, nice atmosphere and friendly staff! My only complaints were that they did not have extra pillows and the shower did not get very hot. Also, the breakfast is VERY simple:m; just some toasts, hard boiled egg and fruits. I did not like the coffee or juice.

Reviewed By Alina A

We booked this hotel after calling them to explicitly ask whether the hotel is on / near to the beach. We only made the reservations after we called the hotel and one of the hotel personnel confirmed that the hotel is 2-3 min walking from the beach….so imagine the disappointment when we got there and realized that the hotel is in a very remote location, 10-15 min driving from the nearest beach / restaurant. You would need a car / taxi to go around, as the road from the main street to the hotel is dark at night. When we asked them why they told us that the hotel is on the beach, the response was only a shrug; no apologies, no attempts to figure out who is responsible…….customer service completely absent. Overall, it seemed that the staff was indifferent; they would accommodate some requests, but it was clear that they preferred spending time on their phone or talking with other staff. I see the owner responding to these reviews on Trip Advisor…..I wonder why wasn’t she on site welcoming and entertaining the hotel guests? This time should have been used on fixing the rooms and premises and training her staff. One funny thing, there was a welcoming card in the room, however the names were wrong! Our experience at the hotel was not great. The property is small, there is only a small pool and the rest is rain forest jungle, with nothing to see and do on the premises. We got a room on the second floor. The room was large and clean, although the furniture was outdated and the tile in the bathroom chipped. The bathroom had a bad smell; not sure if it was mold or not; we kept the window open, but the smell was persistent. There was no or very limited sound proof; there was a door between us and the adjacent room, and we could hear our neighbours talking. One night we had to ask the reception to call them to turn down the TV, it was extremely loud. The balcony had a sitting area and an outdoor kitchenette; however, the cabinets were falling apart, and appliances were rusty. We enjoyed the sitting area in the morning while drinking our coffee. There was a small espresso machine and only 2 coffee pods provided. The cleaning person would not replace the consumables (such as coffee, tea, shampoo, or conditioner), we had to go to the front desk and explicitly ask for few tea bags and more coffee pods. The breakfast was simple, not many options, but the food was tasty - we had eggs every morning, fresh fruit and fresh fruit juice. There is no restaurant for lunch or dinner, hotel guests can order from 2 restaurants in the area - menu provided by the reception; however the options are very limited and overpriced. We only spent 3 out of the 4 days booked; we decided to leave earlier, even though we were not able to get the refund from Bookings for the unused night. Our recommendation: avoid this hotel, you don’t’ need this type of headaches while on vacation! There are many nice people and places in Costa Rica that will give you wonderful memories!
