Gorgeous views from pool, bar and dining area. Room not great. Balcony small but nice views. The building with rooms are down steep stairs. They should paint outside a nicer color.
The hotel is extremely beatiful, a wonderfull view of the ocean and a excellent restaurant.
The staff is super friendly, all the amenities you can need.
The pool is too deep, just for swiming, not for relaxing.
Beside the little detail of the pool, 100% recomended.
The views were amazing, the food was delicious but the rooms were very outdated can use some remodeling and the road to the place is bad very steep not paved and not wide enough for two cars to pass...
Villa Ballena is a tucked away gem. About 10 minutes up a narrow and steep road off Hwy 34 you end up a jungle setting. Edgar is bar/restaurant was fabulous
The hotel was a wonderful stop along the way from San Jose to Drake Bay. Hotel and pool were beautiful with amazing views toward the ocean. Staff was friendly and professional. Rooms were clean and well amenitized. Be ready for a rocky road up but well worth it. Perfect stop.
A fuir !!!
L’hôtel, mis à part sa piscine et les serveurs du restaurant, est désastreux.
Les chambres se trouvent au bout de plus 200 marches que nous avons dû descendre pour y accéder et remonter le matin pour prendre notre petit déjeuner et accéder à la réception.
De plus la chambre était horrible, entre des lits trop durs, une douche qui a explosé sous la pression de l’eau et la connexion wifi inexistante les deux nuits que nous avons passées là bas ont été horribles.
Pour couronner ce séjour nous avons été volés de l’équivalent de 400€ dans nos valises au moment du petit déjeuner après le passage des femmes de ménage qui soit dit en passant se sont contentées de refaire les lits sans même changer les serviettes.
Nous avons signalé ce vol à la réception et nous avons eu comme réponse un « oh i’m so sorry » !!
Nous devions passer 3 nuits dans cet hôtel mais nous avons préféré le quitter prématurément pour les nombreux points évoqués
Ne réservez surtout pas cet hôtel !
Un lugar con una vista espectacular, aunque el acceso es por una calle de una sola vía y muy empinada. El área de las piscinas, bar y restaurante es la que tiene la mejor vista, la comida es deliciosa y a buen precio. El único problema es que ir a las habitaciones puede ser cansado por lo empinado del terreno, pero el total da transporte si es necesario.

Amazing view but the hotel has some flaws.
My stay was good overall, this hotel is located in a rough place to get to which caught me off guard. It’s up a hill with terrible roads. The hotel itself however has the best view I’ve ever had. The rooms are decent. It’s a bit older construction. The breakfast is ok it didn’t fill me up. All the service was great, the employees were nice. However the communication between myself and the hotel for tour information and pricing was a bit weird/not really clear.
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.
Rooms are down several steep staircases from the tiny common area perched atop the hill. Aversive muzak played nonstop in the bar/restaurant area which permeated the whole place. Not a peaceful costa rican environment.
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!

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.
