The property is beautiful and just a short few minute walk to the beach. The property manager, Hans, was helpful attentive and amazing. We did not want to leave and are already planning our return trip

Go somewhere else!
Posted 3 May 2018 on HotelsStay away. At least one of the photos on the website was not from there! This is a condo. The inside of the condo was great and well kept but the complex is a mess. Landscaping is not maintained. Old equipment laying around. There is barbed wire and temporary construction fencing around much of the place. No direct access to the beach. The pool was a mess. There was no one there to check us in and we waited 2 hours for the caretaker to show up. There is no lobby. Roads around that area are all dirt. We stayed 1 night of a 3 night reservation and left early.

Beautiful space
Posted 16 Apr 2018 on HomeAwayThe offered met all of our expectations and more. Beside the drive in unpaved roads, this place offered great living and sleeping spaces. If you are looking for a home away near the beach, this place is ideal. Also the ground keeper Hans and owner Gary were just amazingly helpful. Hans recommended a great restaurant that we went to every evening and had some delicious foods. I loved this place, it was really clean and air conditioned.

Nosara
Posted 18 Mar 2018 on HotelsVilla del sol is located just a few minute drive outside the downtown beach area. The hotel was nice, the pool was cleaned daily and was a nice spot to spend in the afternoon after being at the beach. The kitchen was great, it had all the necessities to make our breakfast and lunch. The laundry facilities were great, helps keep down the number of items you need to pack. The toiletries included soap, bring shampoo, conditioner and lotions, or purchase when you arrive. We did have ants in our room, but it’s to be expected when you back onto a nature reserve. Hans the property manager is always around to help you with anything you need, he gave us beach towels and a beach umbrella for our stay. The beach near the villa is rocky, but has great tide pools and is nice and private. The main beach in Nosara is sandy (5 min drive). I would recommend staying at the Villa!

Good service and close to beach. 2.5 hour from LIR
Posted 31 Dec 2017We had a good time at the hotel for the beach. From LIR the drive is 2.5 hours. For about 25KM you have to drive on unpaved rocky road and gets tiring if you go for activities like Zip lining or scuba diving. Will-Fi service is not great but can manage. Our hot water had issues the first day but Hans the manager was very good and fixed it. AC did not work one day but Hans fixed it the next day. Overall if you need a beach vacation this is a great place.

Very nice place
Posted 23 Sep 2017
Pros: The location of the place. Far from the city. It is a peaceful place.
Cons: The cleanliness of the condo.
Location: The place is near to Pelada Beach; there are many places to practice surf, snorkeling, yoga, and many other sports.
Me and my family were very happy, we enjoyed every day of our stay there. We visit several beaches, like Ostional Beach, where we look the "arribada" of the olive ridley sea turtle (the turtles come out to the beach for spawning).

Beautiful Villas and Property
Posted 21 Mar 2013
Pros: Pool
Cons: Dirt roads getting to the hotel.
We are a family of 5 and we had an awesome experience at Villa Del Sol. Coming from Canada, the quality of the Villas are comparable to those you find on ski resorts (Mont Tremblant, Blue mountain and Whistler) for half the price. Daniel, the manager, does a great job of maintaining the property. The pool and the property are always clean. We visited the beaches around Nosara, but since Nosara is a surfing area, it does not matter what beach you go to if you are a family, so the beach that was down the road from the villa was enough for us to get a beach experience. The Lagarta Lodge close by is worth a visit for a hike and dinner at sunset. Definitely worth the 5 hour drive from San Jose! Despite the tough drive around Nosara's dirt roads, we would definitely come back if ever we visit Costa Rica again

Enjoyed our stay
Posted 9 Mar 2013
Pros: The swimming pool was a great place to relax after spending the day on the beach.
We stayed at the Villa del Sol February 24 - March 2 , 2013.
Very happy with our choice of location and accommodations.
The caretaker Daniel was very helpful with any questions and did a great job of looking after the grounds. The beach is only a 5 minute walk down the road and very quiet.
The facility was gated and had security during the night.
I would recommend renting a vehicle and buying groceries in a larger centre before arriving at the Villa.

Great Villa
Posted 6 Feb 2013
Pros: The size
Cons: Internet was spotty but we could get internet close by when needed.
Location: We bought a Costa Rican chip for the GPS and it took us right there. Once we got used to the setup of the town it was very easy to find.
Villa Del Sol was a wonderful place to stay. Daniel the caretaker treated us so well and was always around. The condo was decorated nicely with comfortable furnishings. The pool was beautiful. It was only a very short walk to the beach. The beach was extremely clean. The condo was close to eating establishments, the market and the gas station. It was in a gated community with security guards. The monkeys swung from the trees in the back yard. Great patio furniture to relax and watch. The only complaint was we had to come home. Thanks Villa Del Sol.
