Scarlet Villas is such an amazing place to stay. Im HUGE into hospitality and they exceeded my expectations. The bed was so comfy, the A/C was AMAZING & the wifi was the best i've ever had in Costa! I was there for a week and my time was an experience ill never forget. The whole property has so much to offer from a bar, pool, pool table!, hangout area to do remote work outside & even an indoor community room with a TV! I Highly recommend this place to anyone!! Thank you Helder & Casey!

Property's Favourite Review
Scarlett Villas is a hidden gem! We stayed for 2 weeks and enjoyed every minute. We loved the property and visiting the local area. The property has been renovated over the last few years and it looks wonderful! The owner has made upgrades such as a outdoor yoga deck, outdoor workspaces, a games area and a lounge nestled in a heavily treed area with water running close by. The pool is located in a beautiful setting with evening lighting, gazebo and lounge chairs on the deck. The pool is well kept and clean. The villas are nicely updated and clean, with outdoor patios and kitchens. All the staff are excellent, in particular Casey (owner), Helder (manager), Kenneth and Carlos are extremely friendly and always offering to help you in any way they can. Helder is always available to answer questions, help with information on local attractions and address any concerns. The property has a beautiful setting and we always felt safe and comfortable. There are many great local restaurants and the beautiful beaches and waterfalls are only a short drive away. I would highly recommend staying at Scarlett Villas!

Our stay at Scarlett Villas Resort in Ojochal, Costa Rica was absolutely perfect. The accommodations were not only comfortable and spacious, but also incredibly beautiful and spotlessly clean. What truly made our experience exceptional was the manager, Helder. He is a true gem who went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed or wanted. We felt cared for and at home throughout our entire stay by the whole team, and Casey the owner. My personal favorite features of the resort were the salt water pool, the massage on the yoga deck surrounded by the lush jungle, and the availability of fresh herbs and fruits for my husband, who is a chef and he was able to create the most delicious dishes. The whole experience was truly magical, and we can't wait to return to these villas in the near future.

Take me back to Cozy Town! Scarlet Villas was a perfect getaway with extremely nice staff. Helder and Casey made sure we had everything we needed . Helder made sure I had a brand new hair dryer in my room to fix my hair while out with my girlfriends . We practiced yoga on the gorgeous yoga deck. All the necessities in the kitchen , plus an Honor bar for beers! What a gorgeously decorated place with a cozy vibe tucked away in the jungle.

My husband and I recently stumbled upon Scarlet Villas while on our honeymoon. We weren't booked to stay here, but upon walking the grounds, we instantly fell in love and felt at home. The host and manager, Helder, was our first point of contact, and from the moment we walked in, he made us feel so taken care of. The next day, the owner Casey greeted us with some local chocolates and a bottle of champagne to congratulate us on our honeymoon stay. We were both in awe! To say we felt taken care of was an understatement, and during the entire experience, we felt like we became a part of the Scarlet family! My husband and I both worked during the week and it was the perfect quiet and peaceful place to take zoom meetings and get work done. We ended up extending our stay for another 3 nights because we could not imagine leaving so soon. Highlights: A saltwater pool that is kept at a cool temperature which is a refreshing welcome from the tropical heat and humidity Fully stocked outdoor gym overlooking the villas and jungle Common area with BBQs, pool table, and hang-out spots Private outdoor kitchen with a daily visit from Scarlet the cat Complimentary cleaning included every three days (including change of linens) Walk to a beautiful pristine river only a few minutes away 5-star culinary experiences only a 7-minute drive away (Citrus is a must-try!) We will absolutely be coming back and staying for even longer! We've made lifelong friends here.

I’m somewhat conflicted in writing this review, because when you stumble upon something really special there is a strong urge to keep it for yourself!! However to not share would be a disservice to the wonderful owner and to this beautiful property. It’s in the jungle, so you’ll want a car, but the villas are lovely, really well designed and well equipped, plus BBQs, an owners bar and a beautiful pristine pool. Within minutes you feel completely at home. Spoiled. Relaxed. It’s a real find.

Beautiful Villa. Staff was super friendly and made me feel comfortable. This place is so clean and well maintained and Helder the manager is great, he made sure everything was going as smooth as possible and actually talks to you and wants to know how your experience at the villa is going. The pool is big and they keep it clean at all times, looks beautiful at night with the LED lights. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a peaceful atmosphere. The Scarlet Villas is a gem. I will for sure visit again. Thanks so much Casey and Helder.

The Scarlett Villas is the perfect getaway for couples or place to host a large group of friends or family. The amenities are great with fast wifi, saltwater pool, helpful staff, and plenty of space around the property to hang out, work, or relax. The Costa Ballena area is full of adventures, waterfalls, beaches, and many excursions. The Scarlett Villas works with local partners to make sure you have the best experience as you get out and enjoy the region.

Our family of 2 adults and 1 child stayed at Scarlet Villas (Villa Surf) for several days during Easter. We enjoyed the pool and the little gym which surrounded by colorful flowers and lush jungle. Aaron, the manager is charming and made sure that we had an excellent experience. We loved our stay at Scarlet Villas and highly recommend it to others.
