Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Exceptional – A hidden gem on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast Villa Marala exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed by the warm and attentive staff, who go above and beyond to make every guest feel at home. The property is beautifully designed—lush, peaceful, and perfectly positioned with stunning ocean views. Our room was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully appointed, offering both comfort and style. Waking up to the sounds of nature and the Pacific breeze was unforgettable. The Two Parrots Restaurant is a standout. Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and the Mango Moon Bar is the perfect place to unwind with a cocktail at sunset. The pool area and common spaces create a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere that makes it easy to disconnect and truly enjoy Costa Rica. Villa Marala strikes the perfect balance between boutique charm and resort-style comfort. It’s ideal for couples, families, or anyone looking for a tranquil escape close to Esterillos beach, yet within easy reach of Jaco and Manuel Antonio. We would absolutely return and highly recommend Villa Marala to anyone seeking a memorable, authentic, and relaxing stay in Costa Rica.
Negative: Nothing to improve — everything was exceptional.
Summary: Nothing to improve — everything was exceptional.
