Roxi's place was a great place to relax after our adventure in the rain forest. The rental was well stocked with everything we needed. The views from the patios were wonderful. We spent most of our time at the beach and pool at the bottom of the resort. It was off season and there were no crowds which we really valued. The pool, bar and restaurant were all clean and easily accessible once we drove down the hill. The staff were courteous and helpful. The ocean was very clean and super comfortable to swim and float in. We booked 1 excursion which was 5-6 hour trip on a boat (fishing, snorkeling and lunch on the beach). The resort staff were great at helping us get this booked before we even arrived. Roxi was very helpful and responded immediately on every message we sent. I highly recommend Roxi's place and this resort.Other travelers should be aware, You will really need a car to get down to the beach. The hill is long and steep and you won't want to walk up from the beach.

This is an absolutely wonderful place for a relaxing vacation. The villa is well appointed with beautiful ocean views. We saw many birds flying in and out of the trees in front of the patio and were visited by monkeys and the occasional iguana. It is a private space with the ability to go out to the restaurant if you want to. The upper pool is a short walk up the hill and we were alone there most of the time. The villas are on a hillside so we just drove down to the beach\restaurant\bar as there is a parking lot at the bottom. You should have a vehicle or a golf cart to access the beach. You can walk but you should be in good shape if that is your plan. A wonderful vacation spot. 5 stars!

This is a beautiful home in a very tranquil location on a hillside with beautiful views. Our host Roxy is very accommodating and quick to respond with any questions or requests. She truly wants you to have a wonderful Costa Rico experience. I truly recommend and look forward to returning. If you won’t have a car, I recounting a golf cart to move around the resort and go into town. We had both but frankly the golf cart was much more fun!

A slice of paradise

Our family of four had the most wonderful stay in this villa. It was impeccably clean and well-appointed. The resort was absolutely wonderful. The beach was private and the views were incredible. We have already recommended Bahia Pez Vela to several friends who want to visit CR and have more space than a hotel room but with the resort amenities.

Beautiful home in a great location

We are a family of 6 adults who have been planning a trip to Costa Rica for years. This home in Bahia Pez Vela was the perfect location for our stay. There are so many places to explore within a 2 hour radius. Roxi is a very responsive host. I highly recommend!

Spring Break 2024

Great property for a family vacation. Beautiful location close to the beach with an outstanding view. Howler monkeys, iguanas, and numerous birds all from the back patio. Costa Rica is an incredible destination and should be on everyone’s vacation bucket list.

Just what we needed!

So enjoyed our stay here. The house was perfect for what we needed and Roxi was very helpful and informative when needed. The walk down and back up from the beach was a great workout, if we stayed longer we’d be in excellent shape. 😊 Totally loved the privacy of the house, the help from Cesar et al., the good eating at the restaurant and the smaller beach.

Villa was very clean and well appointed. Recently upgraded. Roomy and tropical. Beach restaurant on site was better than any in Playas del Coco. Restaurant staff very friendly, professional. Costa Rican people are beautiful and friendly and were the highlight of my trip.

MN meets Pura Vida!

Fabulous vacation home! Chef’s kitchen overlooking the Pacific to cook your fresh seafood. Wonderful beds/ linens. Huge patio overlooking the bay. Gorgeous gardens and monkeys visited our patio in the trees just outside. Lots of delicious restaurants nearby and the resort restaurant was great as well. Resort was very private and staff were so friendly. Communication with Roxi was easy and helpful. Sad to be leaving this special spot! Thank you, Roxi!!!

Amazing stay!

This was our 2nd time at this small but upscale resort, this time in a different villa. This villa was fantastic, amazing views, and had everything we needed for a great stay. The owner is helpful and available, and the resort staff are too. The restaurant, pool and beach are wonderful. It is a short invigorating walk from the beach to the villa - well worth it for the amazing views from the decks. The upstairs deck was as comfortable and inviting as the main floor terrace - all with great views of the hillsides, water and if you’re an early riser, birds! I enthusiastically recommend this rental!

Family Vacation with young adult children (18; 20 and 24)

We loved our time at this villa in Costa Rica! The villa has amazing views, comfortable beds and an amazing kitchen. The resort is beautiful and meticulously maintained. The owner provided detailed information that we needed and checked in on us after our arrival to see if we needed anything. The resort arranged transportation to and from the airport, our car rental and our excursions. The staff (especially Sebastian) at the beach club were all kind and helpful. We all loved this vacation.

Private neighborhood with secluded beach

The property and villa was beautiful. Quite property. The villa was updated and spacious with beautiful views. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Ourdoor patio and balcony had comfortable furniture to enjoy the scenery/nature. One of our favorite memories was getting madsages on our balcony during sunset. Easy booking through the resort for all activities and massages. The secluded beach has beautiful black sand and we got to see howler monkeys while we were enjoying a day on the beach.

Paradise

This is our second trip to Costa Rica, our first trip to Bahia Pez Vela. The home itself was beautiful, well stocked, and immaculate, as well as the grounds. The view was incredible. It was a bit of a hike to get back from the beach or Soluna, but well worth it. The staff and Roxi were very attentive and we encountered zero issues during our stay. The availability of excursions and quality of tours were perfect for our family with teens. I highly recommend this property!

Costa Rican Paradise

We can't say enough good things about this property. Our Villa was gorgeous, immaculate inside, landscaping was beautiful, and everything worked as is it should. The views, especially the sunset, were stunning. This Villa, as all of the Villas are in this resort, are separate/stand alone units, this provides for privacy and peace and quiet. The resort staff are all very friendly. The two resort concierge staff we dealt with, Cesar and Abigail are two of the nicest, most helpful folks you will come across.
