A luxurious stay immersed in both nature & absolute luxury
Pros:

WOW! What an incredible experience. Owner managed and with the upmost of care and attention to the very finest detail. If you can stay here, do! It is an opportunity not to be missed. A truly stunning jungle retreat where you are immersed in both nature and absolute luxury. The 'villas' are beautiful. My room had a huge terrace with seating, double hammock, outdoor shower (second to the main villa shower) and a fantastic view over the pool and surrounding jungle. The cocktails & food were amazing, as was my full body massage. Very comfortable bed and I hope to return again. x

Cons:

The vegan white sauce needs to be made with dairy! lol :) - other than that... nothing

Non è nemmeno lontanamente un 4 stelle
Pros:

Immersa nella foresta, piscina carina.

Cons:

Camera molto piccola, la cucina sul terrazzo, arredi datati, illuminazione che cambia colore fastidiosa e kitsch, letto molto scomodo con piumini minuscoli.
Nessuna area per fumatori, parcheggio molto piccolo. Nessun servizio bagagli, nessuna bibita di benvenuto. 2 minuscole bottiglie di acqua il primo giorno e basta.
Cucina pessima (sia la colazione che la cena oltretutto cara). Molto deludente

The perfect getaway
Pros:

The perfect birthday getaway.
I was looking for a special accommodation for my birth on our trip through Costa Rica.
When I found the Vayu Retreat Villas online, I was stunned by the pictures of the retreat.
Usually pictures of hotels do not show the reality, just the best spots. But here it’s different.
When we arrived we were flashed by this amazing place. Even if the entrance area is not quite finished yet, it does not interfere with your stay in any way.
The amazing pool area, the beautiful restaurant (with delicious food) and the overwhelming rooms are perfect. Everything is matching the style of the hotel.
From the first minute the owners of the hotel gave us a very friendly welcome and took care of our well-being at all times.
As the hotel has not many rooms you can really enjoy the peace and privacy.
We loved every minute of our stay and would highly recommend the hotel for everyone who wants to relax and enjoy the Pura Vida.

Exceptional
Pros:

We stayed 3 nights and everything was absolutely excellent! The managers Marc and Rafael in particular are incredibly friendly and kind-hearted. We felt super comfortable at all times and more like we were visiting friends - thank you so much for that! Our room/apartment was fantastically beautiful and the breakfast and optional dinner in our own restaurant were also lovingly prepared and super tasty! We are simply thrilled by all the warmth and attention to detail!

We absolutely loved this place. Vayu Retreat is a very charming and quiet mini hotel with only 4 beautiful rooms, a great infinity pool, spacious terrasses to relax and a nice restaurant. The service from Marc is absolutely phenomenal. Everything is done with taste and the place has all the amenities you will need.

Incredible jungle retreat
Pros:

Due to our jobs we get to stay in 5 star hotels multiple times throughout the month and one could say, we can truly judge when it comes to comparing and rating hotels.
Vayu Retreat Villas was very special from the second we arrived until the moment we had to leave.
The owners made us feel welcome and treated us like family. They were very attentive and made our stay an outstanding one.
Everyone is really friendly, from cleaning/gardening to kitchen staff. Food was delicious, whether it was for breakfast or dinner.
The suite really met our taste when it comes to design choices.
Their eye for details, providing good coffee, umbrellas and any service you could possibly need before even asking is excellent. Best part was the private terrace overlooking the surrounding nature.
This place is really peaceful and lets you relax from whatever stress you might have had.

Cons:

None
