Ballena Hotel Guide - Romantic Hotels in Ballena, Puntarenas Province

"We had the best time in Costa Rica! This house is exactly as described, however, the view! The View is way better in person. Everything about our stay was smooth and so easy. Mark gives a very robust document of tips, directions, information, recommended excursions and so much more. I planned everything based on Mark’s rec. We did snorkeling at cano island, a Jungle ATV tour which included a stop at a coffee farm and the horseback riding to Nauyaca falls. These were fantastic trips with guides...

"We stayed for just over a week ( March 2024), and didn’t want to ever leave. The house is absolutely stunning, and has everything you could ever need. The view is incredible!!! We saw many macaws, and toucans, and heard howler monkeys one morning. Easily accessible on a paved road, the villa is well located for Whale’s Tail Beach, Uvita grocery stores, and Dominical. Directions and instructions were very clear and easy. Jerome arranged a wonderful chef’s dinner, which we enjoyed so much....

"The property and its views are top notch. Loved our stay and the hospitality."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this lovely home. The home is beautiful.

You can hear the howler monkeys and coati passed through the yard. But the birds were the highlight. We were here during the mating season for one of native turkey varieties. The serenaded us on the second morning. We recorded them from the kitchen. Later, while sitting by the pool,...

"Need a few more room amenities "

"What a gem. It’s a stunning property outmatched only by incredible, kind and helpful staff. From a special laundry request, to making sure I got to see the Tucáns, to remembering my drink of choice, they made me feel safe, special and well taken care of. Don’t hesitate to book this!"

"The property is stunning and our accommodations in the Tree House was a one of a kind experience. Mark and Marlo were super host and their hospitality sets the pace for everyone else on site; everyone was very friendly and make their guests feel welcome. Breakfasts, which are included, were a highlight as were our dinners which were excellent and reasonable, at a fixed price. Of the three boutique hotels we stayed at, Ranch Pacifico was the most expensive, but like the saying goes, you get what...

"What a great fine alturis was! Fun accommodating staff. Cool setting, incredible views. And the red snapper dinner was the best i've ever happened! Hope I get a chance to go back."
