Hi Steve,
Our stay at Puesta del Sol was wonderful. Good food and amazing staff. Andy and Allison were so accommodating to our schedule serving meals at various times. Allison is a very good chef and Andy went out of his way making arrangements and providing transportation to various beaches. We had a birthday for my granddaughter while there. Andy decorated the villa patio and Allison made a fabulous birthday cake. It made the day very special for Sophie.
We always have great service when we stay at one of your villas.
Thanks again and Pura Vida,
M. Hall

Hi Steve-
It was AMAZING! The perfect spot for my 50th birthday/bachelorette celebration(s)! Everyone had the best time and we've all been telling anyone who will listen about it...hopefully lots of bookings headed your way from Charlotte, NC - we're your biggest cheerleaders.

Villa Puesta del Sol exceeded expectations from start to end with:
*Ease of BOOKING and planning with detailed communications with Steve and his office.
*Safe and efficient TRANSPORTATION to/from airport and excursions.
*The ACCOMODATION itself offered the best combination of personal privacy and group gathering, activities for all energy levels with offsite excursions and visits to nearby volcanic sand beaches or onsite around the pool and on the veranda. Rooms were clean, accessible, functional, with lovely bedding and perfect amount of styling to be inviting. A little crab even visited our premises-not for everyone, but it was fun for us!
*The FOOD!! and drink were fantastic - yum! Meals were presented beautifully, timely and satisfying (delicious accommodations for the two gluten-sensitive guests), we were never hungry!
*Best of all were the PEOPLE...remembering Andy, Adrianna, Alison, Anna, Joselina, Mamo, Josue...who offered consistently wonderful services with a friendly willingness, sense of humor and patience for our shenanigan-days, and thoughtful, keen conversations.
Would do this trip again and again! Thanks to all who made it so special!

Steve and Kay,
Thank you so much for organizing the girls trip to Costa Rica. Our accommodations were perfect and we could not have asked for a better staff at Villa Puesta del Sol. Andy, Allison, Jocelyn, Eva and Trino were very welcoming and made us feel as if we had known them for years. Everything about our stay was excellent from the food, to the excursions, transportation and the villa was beautifully maintained every day.

Hi,
We really enjoyed our stay at Puesta del Sol. It was even better than the pictures! In particular, the staff was fabulous, very professional, friendly and hard working. Kojakc and the house manager both did a great job. I struggle to come up with any things that could be done better. Anyway, we really loved our stay and have already passed out the name of your company to our envious friends, so they may be in contact!
Cheers, Jamie

We had an amazing stay at the villa! 20 of us were so comfortable and pampered on by the staff. They did not miss a beat! Food was amazing as well. We will definitely be back to any one of the villas.”

“Greetings Steve! We had a great time once again. Andy and the rest if the staff were amazing. He was on staff at Villa Paraiso the last time so it was nice to s a friendly face upon arrival. He remembered us and we exchanged stories and contact information just like we were life long friends. He’s a great hard working host. There were 14 of us and everyone had a great time and fell in love with Costa Rica just like we did. Everyone enjoyed the customizable excursions and the freedom to kind of come and go as they please. Several of us are actually planning a return trip for next summer (2024) with our kids. Well be in contact about that for sure. Hope you are doing well and thank you for another wonderful trip experience”

“Hi Steve,
We had a wonderful week at Puesta del Sol. It isn’t easy to accommodate 6 grandchildren of different ages (2 teenagers, 4 youngsters) but the villa and the activities which were organized for us were amazing-zip lining, hiking, wildlife viewing and a lovely day on a sailboat…there was something for everyone.
The staff were so accommodating and cared for us very well. They were especially kind to the younger children. The food was delicious and the menus provided a good variety.
The villa itself was beautiful..very clean and well kept. We loved the terrace and the magnificent view!! What an outstanding location…
Covid certainly played havoc with our plans but in the end all 14 of us a memorable family vacation which will be a wonderful memory for us all.
I want to particularly thank you, Steve, for your prompt response to me all through 4 different bookings for the holiday and your patience with the complication of dealing with Canadian covid regulations and flight changes!! It was a pleasure to deal with you.
Costa Rica is a beautiful country and we loved the experience traveling there!
Many thanks…Pura Vida”

“This is the ultimate vacation spot! We visited Costa Rica for the first time and will be heading back again soon! Villa Puesta del Sol was first class all the way. The accommodations were perfect with private baths in each room and plenty of room to spread out. The owners thought of all the details including room darkening shades for anyone who did not want to be up to see the amazing sunrise! The views are amazing from sunup to sundown. You will be entertained by the canaries and magpies who fly about and entertain in the nearby trees. As you take your morning walk be on the lookout for the howler monkeys up in the trees-they are entertaining to watch.
The staff is amazing! Andy is the ultimate bartender, always one step ahead of us in anticipating our food, beverage and relaxation needs. Allison’s amazing cooking kept us wanting more (but needing less) and Joselyn’s attention to assuring our rooms were perfect left us wanting for nothing. The owners were available to assist and arrange transportation from the airport and the local guide provided personalized service to assist in our explorations.
We are looking forward to our next visit and hope to have our families along to experience the wonders of Puesta del Sol - Ocotal.”

“We have enjoyed our stay at Puesta del Sol! Andy and Allison were wonderful! Andy catered to all of our needs and we always had a cocktail in our hands. He’s the best! Allison served delicious meals. Jocelyn took care of our laundry needs and kept our rooms clean. Highly recommend Puesta del Sol to anyone!”
WOW! What a wonderful, relaxing vacation! I cannot recommend this place enough. From the full service at the villa to the excursions and local amenities. Our family had the best time. Oscar was great with our family photos. Allan was full of energy and a blast to work with on excursions. Andy and the girls at the villa were wonderful. We will definitely be back. All of our friends are pushing for an all adult trip so I will be reaching out to set that up soon.
