We are a family of 5 (3 kids, 14, 12 & 8) and it was simply the best family vacation we have ever had. Villas Hermosas is amazing, as are Tara and Brad! Accommodations were great, location perfect and all activities at your fingertips and flawlessly arranged by Tara & Brad. Its a no-brainer! I just wanted to confirm all... More

Villas hermosas is nestled in an edenic parcel of land on Playa Hermosa(one of the most visually stunning beaches I have been to.) The grounds are open and inviting but the impeccably maintained garden wraps its arms around you also. Tall Jacaranda trees shoot into the starry night, while travelers palms and guanacaste trees hold howlers monkeys and green lizards... More

We spent 8 nights at Villas Hermosas and could not have imagined having a better time. The villa was huge and wonderful - what a value! Everything was exactly as promised - gorgeous location, fantastic beaches, and ready access to lots of great activities. Brad and Tara really go out of their way to help however they can and they...

Sorry for the late post - wrote a review right after we got back from our vacation and then experienced an internet snafu while loading, so consequently my review did not post then! We (husband, step-son & his wife) stayed here in late January/early February and it was wonderful! Loved how small the place was, so we didn't have to... More

Santa Teresa sure has grown since the last visit in March 2009..Just had another wonderful vacation at Villas Hermosa with 12 other friends and family. We went in March again (2012), the weather was warm and sunny. Brad and Tara did a great job to make another fabulous vacation...Lots more restaurants in town..(such great food there)....its also a plus that... More

Recently stayed there for 3 nights and we couldn't have been happier. The villas were great- very spacious and had top-notch modern amenities. Brad and Tara (owners) were so nice and helped us out with anything we needed. The jungle surroundings and direct beach access allow infinite possibilities for exploration and local activities. We surfed, snorkled, wined, & dined all... More

Our second trip to Villas Hermosas was even more wonderful than the first (and I told all my friends that was my all-time-best-vacation-ever). The smaller size of Villas Hermosas, with three two bedroom, two bathroom Villas and one "honeymoon suite, makes for a private and comfortable stay. Everything you could ask for in an modern western home including kitchens and... More

We are a family of six (four boys, 17,15,11, & 9) and have just returned home from a week at Villas Hermosas. Having read all of the positive reviews on this sight prior to our arrival, I was worried that I was setting myself up for a let down. It didn't take long from me to realize that my concern... More

Okay people, I am going to be saying the same thing that everyone else on here is saying because its true. Tara and Brad could not be better hosts--its unmatched in my opinion in this area of Costa Rica. You have so much at your fingertips by staying at this hotel that it only adds to your experience: 1. BEST... More
