I think of Hotel Villas Gaia as a little paradise on the Southern Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. It was the most likable we've been to. The people who work there are very friendly, especially the owners, a Dutch couple. The restaurant has very nice typical food served with care. It's also open every day and from early till late....

“Fantastic!”

Reviewed 12 May 2013

Of all the hotels we've seen in Costa Rica, this was the most fantastic one. The location on the Southern Pacific Coast is great. From here we explored the whole region: Corcovado, the mangroves from Rio Terraba, Isla del Cano and many more places.The staff was very helpful to organize the trips (even when we changed plans). We loved our... More

“Great simple place to stay”

Reviewed 18 April 2013

The room was very basic but it did have an air conditioner! The bed was also comfortable. The porch had a great view...we stayed in villa 12. The food at the restaurant was very good. The included breakfast made it a great value. We enjoyed being in the forest and watching the monkeys play in the tree tops.

“No Room with a View”

Reviewed 9 April 2013

We stayed at Hotel Villas Gaia for one night while in the area. It was "okay". The grounds arre nice. The woman who greeted us and took us to the room who I think was the owner seemed to be speaking by rote. She seemed tired or like she wished she was somewhere else. Then we were told that we...

Dear guest, I am sorry to read that you were disappointed with the expected view. Your room is the most wanted one of the hotel as it has some view from your balcony. Hotel Villas Gaia does not promote itself as having ocean views from the rooms. All casitas/rooms are nestled in a jungle setting (see our website) The ocean... More

Reviewed 20 March 2013

I am only now getting around to writing this... and quite surprised at the negative experience Riah M had... since we a) loved it; b) thought it matched the website expectations; c) stayed for 8 days. Staff, particularly in the restaurant for breakfast and dinner, were friendly, helpful and attentive. Food was outstanding; fruit and coffee at breakfast were standouts,... More

We stayed three nights at Villas Gaia. The room was nice and very clean. We had a great view into the rainforest and saw both capuchin monkeys and iguanas on our first morning. The staff is really friendly and helpful in all respects. The hotel offers breakfast, lunch, dinner, and free wifi in the restaurant. Playa Tortuga is in walking... More

We stayed at Hotel Villas Gaia for 2 nights in February and were very happy with our casita. In addition, we received great service and the food in the restaurant was delicious. We spent a lot of time in the pool and really enjoyed the setting. We especially enjoyed seeing white-faced capuchins by the pool one morning. They were shy... More

It's ok not to give extra for the price you paid, but if they promise somethig to give an then they just take it back after you pay it's not good at all, everything else was not really bad. So If you are looking something cheap, basic salks, dont care about service... you wont have any problem here..... BTW DON'T... More

“Nice little casita in the forest but very basic.”

Reviewed 25 February 2013

Villas Gaia is perfect for those who want the very basics....like a bed and shower. Ours did not have air conditioning. However, if you're out for the experience of the forest setting you'll love the Villas Gaia. I must admit the folks here are quite helpful and very pleasant. The food is very good and reasonably priced. No internet in... More
