We had a lovely time at this house in Uvita Costa Rica. Licho and his wife took great care of us- Licho helped change a flat tire and directed us to the repair shop and was always available for any questions, and they prepared a lovely dinner for us which I highly recommend. The house is expansive, with plenty of space for a big group or family. We had caught some tuna so cooked some scrumptious dinners over the bbq and ate them al fresco at the outdoor table. The sunsets over the ocean were magical and we enjoyed the symphony at night from the howler and other monkeys and the birdsong in the AM. I saw a Toucan ( yellow bill) and was told fairly common at the house . The driveway is steep and in general advise getting a 4wd car for Costa Rica. I would highly recommend this house and the Uvita area for anyone and plan to return next year!
Our stay was absolutely phenomenal. The home was well-maintained by Licho and family. It was a well stocked safe environment that felt like our own private resort. We hope to be back in the future.
From Check In to Check Out, this was an amazing vacation home. Every common area of the home inside and outside is designed for socializing. Lots of seating, tables and lighting. If you are contemplating staying at this location, do not hesitate, it is perfect! We have traveled as a family of 7 for many years and this is by far the best home we have ever stayed at. As many people have said, there is a couple that lives on the property. They are there to help make your stay perfect! Darling cooked the most delicious meals! Licho set up all our excursions prior to our arrival. They gave us a tour of the home upon arrival and were available throughout our stay to answer questions, ask for recommendations and to take care of any concerns at the house. Prior to the trip I was wondering if I would feel uncomfortable with a couple living on the property. I like my privacy and do not like to feel like I am being monitored. We felt completely private. Darling and Licho are available to assist with anything, but other than that, you forget they are on the property. The set up is perfect. The living quarters are separate and the property is very large that you do not remember they live there also. Licho set up several excursions for us and we felt very safe and had so much fun on the excursions. Our boys took surfing lessons, we went fishing, we had massages done at the home (that was amazing!) and we went on a snorkeling excursion to Cano Island. All top notch! 5 Star Stay!!
100% PERFECT RETREAT. Easy drive from San Jose 3-4 hrs. Licho, the property manager messaged us the morning of our arrival to coordinate anrrival and met us at a gas station a minute or two from the villa. This was an easy meeting spot and then we just followed him up to the house. The house is completely gated in which helped us feel very secure. The second you walk up or enter the property you have arrived at your own jungle paradise. We had two families for a total of four adults and five children aged six through 13. The house could not have been better for us. First there are two main suites that are identical replicas of each other. This made it easy for sharing the space. Each room had its own private bathroom with either a shower or a shower and bath. But where the villa really shown was with how the outdoor world combines with the indoor. There is a gorgeous spanning pool and an incredible ocean vista. There are so many individual little areas to sit and gather or be totally alone by yourself. The villa was incredibly well supplied. We found no cooking utensils absent. There were plenty of towels for the beach and the bath. Everything was perfect. Loved seeing monkeys from the pool! We had booked our itinerary prior to arrival but we didn’t need to as Licho could’ve coordinated everything. He’s a gem. He sent us a link with multiple excursions options/massage/etc when we were there. Recommend Catarata Uvita (waterfall)and Seba’s for pizza/cocktails (10 min)
Our family of 5 spent an amazing week at this luxury escape. Licho was extremely helpful and responsive, and Darling cooked us some of our favorite meals on the trip! Can’t beat seeing monkeys, a sloth and an array of tropical birds right from your own pool!
If you are at all on the fence about this property, DO IT. Its beautiful and everyone is so accommdating. Our family would definitely return. Licho is wonderful too.
We stayed here after a week of events for our wedding with a few friends and it was EXACTLY what we needed to de-stress! The house is amazing! I’ve never felt so relaxed! The house is beautifully nestled on a mountain in the rainforest overlooking the ocean. Monkeys visited us every morning, as well as other local wildlife.Licho was the perfect host and was available if we needed anything. Will definitely be returning very soon!
Licho was great, he is next door in case you need anything. The home is beautiful and the pool…wow! There are several places to relax and view the ocean and sunset! 😍.
We had a wonderful time- the property is in a beautiful location and is well cared for! Waking up to howler monkeys, seeing toucans and iguanas are all part of the wonderful experience. Licho and Darling are wonderful caretakers of the property. We had a great time!
We enjoyed our stay very much. Everything was fine. The pool extraordinary and the housekeeper Licho always kind and helpful, if needed. We can absolutely recommend this villa. We would come again. Thank you very much.
We loved our stay in Uvita. There was so much room for 3 couples to enjoy. Photos do not even capture the beauty of the place. Our 4WD handles the steep driveway well. Licho the property manager was super helpful and friendly. It rained most of our trip and the covered areas outside were wonderful for dinners protected from the elements. I will definitely be back.
This was a family trip with our 6 adult children and our 2.5 year old granddaughter. Each couple had their own suite with a bathroom. There are many areas in the house to relax and enjoy private space. We loved seeing monkeys, agouti, toucan right outside our home. The caretakers were top notch.
What a wonderful time my husband and I and our 4 kids had staying here. It's an amazing place to stay. We spent most of our time outside by the beautiful pool. There are a lot of different areas to enjoy outside and breathtaking view. We enjoyed multiple meals that we had Darling cook for us and Licho was so nice to work with. It truly was the Best Vacation for the entire family.
We absolutely loved our stay! The home is simply fabulous! The many outdoor spaces were the highlight of our trip! We loved spending our afternoons hanging out in the pool and enjoying the sounds of the rainforest!
Licho and Darling were so sweet and handled all of our requests within minutes! This home is the definition of Puravida! We are already making plans to return!
The house was great. This was our second stay at La Libelula. We took our kids in 2014 and it has been our favorite vacation since so we had to go back and do it all again with them as adults. So fun! Lucho and Darling cooked for us one night and it was amazing. Probably our best meal during our stay. Views are wonderful and close to the middle of town for restaurants, groceries, beaches and activities.
This house was great. We loved Uvita. It had a good view of the beach. The pool was fantastic as well as all the outdoor space. We liked having two separate living areas inside the house, one upstairs and one downstairs. We found it super convenient to the grocery store, the beach, restaurants and then a short distance to the Uvita waterfall, horseback riding and surf lessons. The on-site property manager was great with answering all our questions we had through our the stay. Super fun trip!
The home is beautiful and the view is amazing. There are several outdoor dining and "hang out" areas that just add to the experience. The pool was perfect - our family was in it all the time. It is a short drive to Uvita (5 minutes). But the best part is Nicholas, Licho and Darling. They make sure your every need is covered and make you feel like family. Would 1000% stay here again.
La Libelula was perfect for our family gathering of 8 of us. The home is located just outside of town making it convenient for us to get to stores beach etc. The large pool and many sitting areas offer a variety of cool areas to hang out. Licho was great, he was there if you needed him and made himself scarce when you wanted to be alone. The number of Toucans visiting each day was astounding. We would recommend this house for larger groups and families.
Beautiful home and beautiful view
We enjoyed the quiet retreat and the convenience of being close to town
Licho and Darling very nice and helpful
We loved the beaches and other adventures near Uvita
Only slight negative was that it was warm in the main house in the afternoons and evenings but the bedrooms are air conditioned so we slept cool and comfortable
The house was amazing, plenty of space for everyone. The pool and patio spaces were wonderful. We woke up to birds and butterflies daily. We got lucky and got to see a troop of monkeys on the property one afternoon. The house was stocked with everything we needed. The driveway is very steep as the house is on a hill. There is a house manager on property who was helpful and kind. Be prepared to enjoy paradise.
There was plenty of spaces for our 2 families which included 6 teenagers (12-15). The villa was very clean and well maintained by Licho and Darling. They also gave us great advice for site seeing in the area. Our host Nicolas made sure to check if we were enjoying our stay. The Villa is more beautiful than the pictures. My only advice is to make sure that you have a 4x4 vehicle to access the Villa, there is a very steep hill to climb. I would recommend the Villa to all my friends and family!
