Vista Ballena

I trully enjoyed the stunning views, the pool and lovely restaurant and bar area. The staff was welcoming and eager to assist. However our room was dated and the shower area was moldy and could use some attention. We had to request towels, (we had 1 for 3 ppl) someone to refill up the coffee pods etc. The drive to the property is challenging and you could literally lose a tire on the way there. It only takes a bit of effort to cover these holes. The food was decent but nothing spectacular. Overall with a few little improvements this could be a trully remarkable experience! I booked 2 standard rooms for 2 nights, my friends received an upgrade as their AC was not working and the presence of geckoes and other insects disrupted their sleep in the first night.

One of our better stays in Costa Rica. The staff, Julie, Jason, Kathryn, etc we so friendly. The filet motion for dinner was exceptional with a wonderful sauce. The room was exceptional- when you walked in you were in awe. The drive up was tricky but well worth it. Suzanne runs an amazing establishment!!

Nice view We walked into our room there was no toilet paper or towels. Everything seemed clean. Just makes you wonder. The restaurant was pricey but very good and efficient.

Der fantastische Pool entschädigt für die mühsame steile Anfahrt. Gott sei Dank hatten wir trockenes Wetter!! Die Unterkunft eher unspektakulär, unterhalb des Haupthauses im Hang gelegen. Wir waren in Haus 2, das waren ca. 100 Treppen bis zum Restaurant/ dem Pool. Ein bisschen Sport schadet ja nicht :) Das Zimmer hatte einen kleinen Balkon, die Schiebtüren sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen und schwergängig, das Bad aus dem Baujahr aber ok. Ansonsten sehr ordentlich und Sauber, tolle mega breite Betten und stilvolle Überdecken. Kühlschrank, Klima, TV alles dabei, ebenso eine kl. Kaffeemanschine was wir immer sehr nett finden. Oben an der Bar läuft chillige Loungemusik, gerade zu einem Cocktail oder Sonnenuntergang kommt genau das Flair auf, das der Infinitypool verspricht. Für eine Übernachtung war es für uns ganau das Richtige. Das Personal sehr zuvorkommend und aufmerksam, haben wir nicht immer so erlebt! Frühstück war inklusive aber nur eine Option von der Karte, eher lieblos und etwas enttäuschend. Das Wenige, das angeboten wurde, war dann teilweise auch nicht vorrätig. Abendessen dagegen (A la Card) war hochwertig und stimmig zum doch gehobenen Preis. Gefallen hat uns, dass den ganzen Tag und Abend kühles Wasser an die Gäste ausgeschenkt und auch an die Sonnenliegen gebracht wurde . An heißen Tagen immer gern genommen und ganz kostenfrei! Auch unser Mojito Cocktail und der Fruchtsmoothie waren wirklich empfehlenswert. Wir würden für einen Abstecher wiederkommen. Gern in ein Zimmer mit modernisiertem Bad ;)

Don’t throw toilet paper in the toilet but in the trash can? Ridiculous, that happened in Costa Ric sin the 1980s but not in 2024. The hotel is very outdated, and there is no parking near the rooms so you must walk in incredible amount of stairs. Not for older people or with bad lunch. The staff is incredibly helpful and the food is pretty decent. That makes up for a lot. The view at the pool, terrace, bar, and rooms is to die for.

Nice place to relax near the end of our visit The view from the pool is amazing! We spent an entire day there. The view from the room patio was also nice. We saw lots of birds every day. Get ready for the stair master to get to and from your room. Our room had a sketchy hole in the ceiling above the shower and we had quite a few bugs in our room, but no big deal when you're in paradise. The bathroom was a lil small and dated, but we hardly spent any time in there. Drinks at the pool were reasonably-priced even thigh they didn't have any prices listed... food was on the more expensive side... so we just drank more. Really enjoyed our stay here overall and it was a great place to unwind before heading back home. I would stay here again!
