Bahía Ballena Hotel Guide - Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary hotels in Bahía Ballena, Costa Rica.

"We had a wonderful time here. Beds were comfy and air worked well in two rooms, but not the small one. We had our kids sleep in a room together because of this, but they are young so it was fine. Property care taker and host were very responsive when we couldnt figure out the stove. I loved having coffee on the balcony in the morning. Pool was clean. Had a great time playing in the river out back and even caught some very large prawns to add to our breakfast. Saw many birds, geckos, and an agoutis, which was cool. On our last morning we saw capuchins and most mornings could hear howlers. We also couldnt figure out the TVs, but really didnt phase us as we almost never watch TV while vacationing. Wifi worked great. Power went out once, but not unusual in Costa Rica and we were gone for most of the time, returning and without for maybe 15 minutes. Saw the lineman. Would definitely stay here again. It was beautiful and peaceful (and i felt like a disney princess in a fairytale castle, just with kids!) "

"this place is nothing short of spectacular and pictures simply don’t do it justice. from the moment we arrived, we were awestruck with the incredible beautiful views! it was spacious for our extended family of 15! the beds were extremely comfortable and having a caretaker on sight was extremely helpful. (especially parking with the steep driveway). Carolina was so sweet and an extra special treat to have her housekeeping services available! this was truly a trip of a lifetime and i was more than happy to stay and enjoy the luxurious surroundings!

"This was my absolute favorite place my kids and I visited in 12 days in Costa Rica total. The staff and grounds were phenomenal. We want to go back- not just to Costa Rica, but also specifically to this property that just… felt like home to the hearts."

"We traveled as a large group of 18 adults to CR for a week. This property is one of a kind to say the least! The home sits on a mountain with a spectacular views, and a pool situated perfectly!! The lay out of the property with the main house having 3 rooms, the guest house having 2 rooms and the individual bungalows fit our needs perfectly! We used 9 of the fantastic room’s available. The house was immaculate, very clean and well care for, they also provided all the amenities that you would need. They have house keepers, and gardeners to make sure everything is perfect. All the bed are super comfortable. Multiple washers and dryers.Large refrigerators in the main house and guesthouse with mini fridge in the bungalows.Overall PERFECT!!!The best part and what made our trip, was the absolutely incredible host Dominique and her very sweet sister Nichole. Dominique went above and beyond, not only did she accommodate all of our needs, (not to mention it was very last minute) she was also very helpful, informative and absolutely the sweetest person! She shared all of her favorite places with us, and even gave us detailed tips to make our stay even more enjoyable. Dominique is 20 out of 10 in our book and highly recommended. I really can’t say enough about this property and the amazing host. "

"We loved our stay at the Shelter from the Storm Villas. Pascal and Ginny were lovely hosts and we could not have asked for a more beautiful place to start our Costa Rica vacation. The property has stunning views of the Pacific and beautiful gardens. We loved sitting on the Veranda and watching the birds. We will definitely be back!"
