A slice of paradise

Our family of four had the most wonderful stay in this villa. It was impeccably clean and well-appointed. The resort was absolutely wonderful. The beach was private and the views were incredible. We have already recommended Bahia Pez Vela to several friends who want to visit CR and have more space than a hotel room but with the resort amenities.

Beautiful home in a great location

We are a family of 6 adults who have been planning a trip to Costa Rica for years. This home in Bahia Pez Vela was the perfect location for our stay. There are so many places to explore within a 2 hour radius. Roxi is a very responsive host. I highly recommend!

Private neighborhood with secluded beach

The property and villa was beautiful. Quite property. The villa was updated and spacious with beautiful views. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Ourdoor patio and balcony had comfortable furniture to enjoy the scenery/nature. One of our favorite memories was getting madsages on our balcony during sunset. Easy booking through the resort for all activities and massages. The secluded beach has beautiful black sand and we got to see howler monkeys while we were enjoying a day on the beach.

Spring Break 2024

Great property for a family vacation. Beautiful location close to the beach with an outstanding view. Howler monkeys, iguanas, and numerous birds all from the back patio. Costa Rica is an incredible destination and should be on everyone’s vacation bucket list.

MN meets Pura Vida!

Fabulous vacation home! Chef’s kitchen overlooking the Pacific to cook your fresh seafood. Wonderful beds/ linens. Huge patio overlooking the bay. Gorgeous gardens and monkeys visited our patio in the trees just outside. Lots of delicious restaurants nearby and the resort restaurant was great as well. Resort was very private and staff were so friendly. Communication with Roxi was easy and helpful. Sad to be leaving this special spot! Thank you, Roxi!!!

Just what we needed!

So enjoyed our stay here. The house was perfect for what we needed and Roxi was very helpful and informative when needed. The walk down and back up from the beach was a great workout, if we stayed longer we’d be in excellent shape. 😊 Totally loved the privacy of the house, the help from Cesar et al., the good eating at the restaurant and the smaller beach.

Villa 29

Villa was very clean and well appointed. Recently upgraded. Roomy and tropical. Beach restaurant on site was better than any in Playas del Coco. Restaurant staff very friendly, professional. Costa Rican people are beautiful and friendly and were the highlight of my trip.

Paradise

This is our second trip to Costa Rica, our first trip to Bahia Pez Vela. The home itself was beautiful, well stocked, and immaculate, as well as the grounds. The view was incredible. It was a bit of a hike to get back from the beach or Soluna, but well worth it. The staff and Roxi were very attentive and we encountered zero issues during our stay. The availability of excursions and quality of tours were perfect for our family with teens. I highly recommend this property!

Amazing Property

Such an amazing property! We have used VRBO rentals for years and this villa is over the top! My husband and myself with our son and his wife stayed and were so impressed with the decorating and touches from local artisans. We chose to stay up the hill instead of by the beach so it is a trek to make it to the beach and back in the heat. The onsite restaurant was amazing as was Farmer Rooster's restaurant. The road to the property is quite hilly and unpaved at times but if you take is slow you will be fine. I would suggest a first aid kit for the villa but other than that, we loved the sound of the howler monkeys in the morning and the continued variety of birds making calls. We even had a crab walk across the patio!

Wonderful visit to Bahia Pez Vela resort

Villa 29 is perfect. Very clean and spacious, and of course the wonderful view of the ocean from the expansive patio where we spent most of our time outside. Good idea to have a vehicle to get around and to the market, as well as some trips up and down the steep driveway to the beach when you don’t have the energy to walk it. We enjoyed a catamaran cruise and snorkeling one afternoon. Another morning we had a fishing charter leave right from our beach. Lucky enough to catch a Mahi Mahi, which the chef expertly prepared for us at the restaurant that evening. All the staff at the resort were great including the concierge managers, Cesar and Jacky. All considered, a very fun trip …. a little bit of an adventure in beautiful Costa Rica.

Perfect mix of Luxury and Nature

The Villa and property are very well maintained, clean, and the staff on site were very helpful. We like the feeling of having all of our normal amenities (TV, Internet, AC) but also being close to nature. Just stepping out on the back patio provided a good dose of the natural surroundings. Various Birds, racoons, geckos, Leaf-cutter ants, praying mantis all made an appearance for the 5 days we stayed. At night we heard the howler monkey's in the distance as well. Very cool! The property manager was on the spot with helping and suggestions. The property itself was a little off the beaten path and took awhile to find at night, but the view once we found it was amazing. Well worth a little hunt. Super quiet and private. The VRBO map pin makes the unit look like it's down closer to the water, but you wouldn't have the awesome ocean view this unit has tucked up a little higher on the mountain. We ate at the clubhouse only once and it was very good. Awesome beach setting. I wish we had more time to explore the beach down in the cove, but we had other plans. Hopefully next time!

Celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary with friends.

Communications with Roxi the owner were excellent, and the villa was everything described and more. Very peaceful and relaxing. Jacky and Cesar at the resort were great. They booked all our transportation. Van to and from the airport, rental car delivered to the villa, multiple massages for our group and multiple excursions. We loved them all and they were all reasonably priced. Resort restaurant was amazing and we ate there at least once a day. We ate a meal in Cocoa beach every day and they were always very good to amazing. Service was always good but remember you're on Costa Rican time. You wont be pushed out of the restaurant and you will want to let them know right away if you're in a hurry. Pool and beach area we as described and we were at the pool/ beach everyday. Howler monkeys were at the beach for a couple days and we saw/ heard them around the resort every day. We booked the Trimaran excursion with the waterslide. Had a great time. Swimming, snorkeling, drinks and snacks were great. I would especially recommend booking with Kuna Vela sailing tours. The crew picked up our group of 6 on the beach and took us to the boat for a private snorkel and sailing trip. We had the boat to ourselves and Captain Israel and first mate Andres took such good care of us with amazing heavy snacks and whatever we could think of for drinks. Thanks again to Roxi for sharing their amazing villa and our group would definitely book again.

Lovely views, lots of space

The villa is a full 200' elevation above the beach, restaurant, and main pool. It is a really steep and laborious climb; or you can drive. The villa is spacious and congenially laid out, with good appliances. The quality of the furnishings is not what I would call luxurious, but everything is entirely serviceable. Everyone associated with the resort was pleasant and happy to help. There is a guard at the entrance and my wife and I always felt safe. The beach is private to the resort (about 40 villas) and thus not crowded. It is mostly black sand, but fine and comfortable for the feet. The main pool is near the beach and restaurant, and was rarely crowded (if sometimes hard to find chairs in the shade). The food at the resort restaurant was adequate (but not something to look forward to) and priced at the high end. There are many dining options nearby, a mix of imports ("Taste of Texas"), party scenes ("Get Hammered") and generally mediocre. The local places with rice/bean platters and fresh fish were our best experiences. And preparing light meals at the villa. Downtown Coco is one main street which is a pure and ugly tourist trap. But once you get a half a block away from there there is ample local and authentic feel. The drive from Coco to the villa is ~10m down a narrow, bumpy, poorly-lit route with many turns and lots of pedestrians, motor bikes, and other vehicles. That distance provides privacy, though I found the road a bit stressful.

Amazing stay!

This was our 2nd time at this small but upscale resort, this time in a different villa. This villa was fantastic, amazing views, and had everything we needed for a great stay. The owner is helpful and available, and the resort staff are too. The restaurant, pool and beach are wonderful. It is a short invigorating walk from the beach to the villa - well worth it for the amazing views from the decks. The upstairs deck was as comfortable and inviting as the main floor terrace - all with great views of the hillsides, water and if you’re an early riser, birds! I enthusiastically recommend this rental!

Family Vacation with young adult children (18; 20 and 24)

We loved our time at this villa in Costa Rica! The villa has amazing views, comfortable beds and an amazing kitchen. The resort is beautiful and meticulously maintained. The owner provided detailed information that we needed and checked in on us after our arrival to see if we needed anything. The resort arranged transportation to and from the airport, our car rental and our excursions. The staff (especially Sebastian) at the beach club were all kind and helpful. We all loved this vacation.

Costa Rican Paradise

We can't say enough good things about this property. Our Villa was gorgeous, immaculate inside, landscaping was beautiful, and everything worked as is it should. The views, especially the sunset, were stunning. This Villa, as all of the Villas are in this resort, are separate/stand alone units, this provides for privacy and peace and quiet. The resort staff are all very friendly. The two resort concierge staff we dealt with, Cesar and Abigail are two of the nicest, most helpful folks you will come across.

Million dollar view

It was an exceptional place. Not if you re not a fan of hills then you won’t like the amazing perch this property has. Important thing we learned is there is an infinity pool just 3 minute walk up the road and it was quiet and outstanding. If being on a beach is vital, then this isnt it. But for us, it was exceptional.
