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

"We had an absolutely wonderful time at the Jade House. It’s one of those rare places where the reality actually surpasses the pictures. From the moment we arrived, the views just stopped us in our tracks—sweeping ocean panoramas, layers of jungle, and sunsets that felt almost unreal.What Made the Stay Exceptional• The PoolsThe pools were the heart of the house for us. Each one had its own personality, and moving between them throughout the day became its own rhythm. Whether we were floating, cooling off, or just taking in the view from the edge, it was impossible not to relax.• The Pool TableInside, the pool table became the nightly gathering spot. It’s in the perfect location—open, social, and part of the flow of the house. We ended up spending more time there than expected, and it added a fun, easygoing energy to the evenings.• The KitchenThe kitchen is beautifully designed and surprisingly functional for a rental home. Plenty of space, great layout, and everything we needed to cook, snack, or just hang out with a drink while looking out at the water. It’s the kind of kitchen that makes you want to cook even on vacation.• The BedroomsEvery bedroom felt like its own retreat. Comfortable beds, thoughtful design, and those same incredible views that make waking up feel like a privilege. Everyone in our group commented on how well they slept.OverallThe Jade House gave us the perfect balance of comfort, beauty, and fun."

"Amazing view and fun open floor plan! We found the layout of the house ideal and the beds were very comfortable. Our family would like to stay again next trip to Costa Rica. "

"Beautiful home and setting. Easy to access. Toucans in the trees. Nice pool."

"This is a very clean hotel with incredible views. It has a great bar and restaurant on site and the pool overlooks the ocean. My only regret is not staying longer."

"Home was beautiful and host was very responsive to anything we needed. They even provided a complimentary mid-week house cleaning."

"Wonderful family vacation - we sll enjoyed our stay at this stunning place overlooking the ocean. A special treat for our 50th anniversary. The staff were great in providing information and responding to our questions in a timely manner. Loved it!!!"

"We had an amazing stay in this home surrounded by the jungle forest filled with the sounds of Howler monkey, toucans and countless tropical birds. The location was perfect for us as it was peaceful with amazing views and sunsets. It’s close to amazing restaurants and activities centers including Whale tail beach and Diving. The house was beautiful and very spacious. The only real issue we had was not having consistent hot water. The host’s property manager and vacation planner Dennis was a huge support for us as we planned our trip in advance and acted swiftly to find solutions to small issues we ran into at the house. The location to Quepos is a good hour away so we did need to drive. Oh and always book a 4 WD rental car for the drive up to the house. Great host and very nice house keeper"

"This was a fantastic stay at an unbelievably gorgeous property close to both Uvita and Dominical. The outdoor property has beautiful landscaping all around that makes you feel like you're at a five-star resort. The infinity pool was larger than expected and provides a breathtaking view of the ocean. The house is very well-appointed with high end finishes and includes nice touches all around. Overall, I would absolutely stay here again."

"The house has amazing views and the manager is super attentive and willing to help in anything we needed. Great service. The only thing I would say is that the home needs a bit of maintenance. But overall had a great stay! A 4x4 is definitely suggested. "
