Vista Del Alma Boutique Resort - Adults Only

Stunning views and incredibly private rooms.

Spectacular views and incredible privacy 2 minutes from the center of town. Highly recommend Vista del Alma.

Amazing views and the terrace with the jacuzzi is absolutely worth it. Daily cleaning with fresh towels, coffee/tea refills, and everything left spotless.

The bed was super big and very comfortable. They even left us a complimentary bottle of wine. The reception staff were incredibly kind and helpful, both via WhatsApp and in person.

The road is steep but manageable with an SUV (no 4x4 needed), and walking takes just 7–10 minutes. We loved that it’s away from the busy center—much more peaceful and the views are way better.

Only downside: the kitchen is minimally equipped (just two glasses, two plates, one pan), and lacks basics like salt or oil. Also, most of the fridge space is taken by minibar items (for purchase).

Still, we highly recommend it!

Very well maintained, clean and breakfast was great. Beautiful views and accommodation’s and friendly and attentive staff.

Beautiful spot, high up on the hills above Santa Terresa but we wouldn't come back. Its at the top of the steepest and most difficult hill I've ever driven up. I'm an very experienced driver, used to driving in Mexico, Greece and Costa Rico, but I didn't want to drive up and down those hills particularly at night. It becomes a constant worry when you go into town so you end up being "trapped" in he place. There's also no way of walking to the place. You really do need a 4 wheel drive or ATV to get here. The property is interesting but needs a lot of maintenance, its a few years old and showing signs of wear and tear from the tough environment. You do get to see lots of wildlife being at tree level, we had a pool which was "watering hole" for the local Racoon and Coatimundi population, which was great. One thing that does need to be changed is the stocking of the refrigerator. If a place has a full kitchen in the unit which ours did, it shouldn't be filled with "stuff" you are trying to sell to your guests ! For the $800 per night cost it would be nice to provide free bottled water everyday. I know there's a filtration system for the tap water but guests don't know how well that's maintained, not worth the risk. We did enjoy seeing the place and the wildlife, it just needs some work to justify the cost.

Great place! Staff is amazing ! Very clean . Overall highly recommend this place. Loved our stay there.

Beautiful location- 9 villas so small and private. We stayed in the Amethyst villa which had a balcony with jacuzzi overlooking the ocean. Close to Santa Theresa beach which was beautiful, water warm. You won’t regret staying here 😊

Just lovely. This is exactly the place to completely relax. Truly the only thing I would request is more hooks in the room for various bathing suits, robes, towels, etc. It was the romantic escape we needed. Bed was firm and wonderful. Shower was a delight. Plunge pool was amazing. View was spectacular. Would visit again — also, the orange cat that roams the property is the best cat. I love him and would go back just to hang out with him.

Incredible stay! Loved the amethyst villa with hot tub. Gorgeous view. Everything clean and comfortable. Thankful for the 4x4 warning so we were prepared with the correct vehicle. Staff were super friendly although a bit disorganized and took weeks to respond to inquiries before we arrived, and after we arrived messaging us the same questions from two phones, just felt not on par with the quality and price of everything else. Still everything was wonderful!

Absolutely beautiful Villa with an amazing view of the Pacific. Breakfast was delicious and so fresh.

I don't think the pictures does justice to what this place actually is. One of the most incredible views.

To begin with the level of communication this place gives, you are chatting with the front desk before you even arrive to Costa Rica. Any questions you have, they'll answer.

Upon arriving, they give you a little tour of the resort which when you arrive to your villa, your bags are already there.

The first thing you have to do as you walk into your room is pick your mouth up from the floor. This place is absolutely stunning.


Warning for travelers coming to Santa Teresa and/or Costa Rica in general:

Rent an SUV 4x4 to transport around. The roads are not great.

This resort as many things in Costa Rica sit on a very steep hill. We saw people walking down the hill to get the town but we decided to drive. The place is very safe & everyone is very friendly.

Just book the place.

The beach club down the the st hada rave and the noise was unbearable till 5 am

Excellent location. spectacular ocean view and great villas .

Spectacular views, outstanding, professional and personal service, beautiful landscaping! The entire staff (Karla in particular) are eager to accommodate any requests to ensure your stay is perfect. The owners and staff of Vista Del Alma have excelled in setting their boutique resort apart from all others in every way - from the unique architecture, luxurious well-designed interiors, to the smallest supplied incidentals (comfortable robes, hand crafted body wash and shampoo, cappuccino maker, etc.). We had a truly lovely stay and sincerely appreciate the friendly, professional service we experienced!

Experience was amazing. The views were worth it alone and having the hot tub overlooking the ocean was spectacular. The staff was wonderful and my wife very much enjoyed the yoga sessions. Need a 4x4 to get up the hill.

My husband and I stayed here on our first sfo of our honeymoon and it was everything we wanted it to be. It was a relaxing and serene we barely left the room. Also a shout out to Estefania at the pool for making our stay comfortable and pleasant. All around an amazing property.

Beautiful location with excellent service. Enjoyed breakfast in the room, attentive communications over WhatsApp and elegant room setting. Just make sure you get the right car to access the property, as it is at the end of the steep road. But the hotel staff give you timely advice at the time of booking. The hill is worth the views and the privacy.

Had an unbelievable time at Vista Del Alma. The food, the service, the views, and room... all A

We loved the view from our room!

Vista Del Alma is truly magical from the sweeping ocean views to the charm of the employees. We found a top notch, romantic, small boutique resort that far exceeds the photos. WE LOVED it. Highly recommended.
