WOW...WOW...WOW First I would like to start out by saying that the worst part about our honeymoon was the fact that we didn't spend all of it at Villas Hermosas. We had such an amazing time, and truly felt welcomed. Brad & Tara are AWESOME hosts, and are perfect at what they do. My lovely bride and I stayed in... more

Surfing and access to wireless was why we booked at Villas Hermosas, but Villas Hermosas is so much more. The proprietors Brad and Terra were so great and with a toddler and another baby on the way it felt like you were part of their family. Surf instructors and surf boards were delivered to your door and when you were... more

Maybe it was the large, comfortable 2-bdrm, 2-bath villa or the generous breakfast each morning, or the well-groomed beach front property or the lovely pool with waterfall. But most of all it was owner couple Tara and Brad and their team's attention to countless small details. Big rain shower? umbrella is at our door. Gonna go for a swim? the... more

Happened to find this place when I decided to splurge on my backpacking trip to Costa Rica. This place was awesome!! The owners Brad and Tara were amazingly welcoming and they went above and beyond normal concierge services. I can't thank them enough for their help and I wish them the best of luck! Great hosts and just beautiful facilities.... more

We may be slightly biased considering it was our only honeymoon, but WOW. We had such a beautiful time and we were counting our blessings by the end of our stay that we had made the decision to choose Villas Hermosas. Brad and Tara are such accomodating hosts and would give you the shirts off their backs if it meant... more

This is where you need to stay, although once the word is out it may be hard to get in. Because there are only 4 villas, it is quiet and remote feeling while only being minutes from town. Other then sightseeing though there is no reason to leave the beach that is at your doorstep. It' s beautiful and private... more

After a long, cold winter in Colorado, we began our Costa Rican vacation at Villas Hermosas. The peace, the quiet, and the surrounding beauty found there, was exactly what we needed! The grounds of the property are very pretty, and well kept. The beach, (right there!), is wild, nearly deserted, and absolutely gorgeous! The Villas themselves, are quite spacious, comfortable,... more

Villas Hermosas is a real gem. We will definitely be back. Owners Brad and Tara are excellent and hard working hosts, their staff are wonderfully friendly, courteous and helpful, and their gardens are truly amazing! Perhaps the nicest thing about Villas Hermosas - aside from the delicious breakfasts under the dining/relaxing rancho, and the space and privacy that the villas... more

My husband and I were delighted to stay in the Honeymoon Suite for 6 nights. It was so calming to hear the ocean at night and see it from the romantic canopied king bed in the morning. Breakfast in the Rancho was great with a variety of everyday options and one daily special so you don't get bored. The pool... more

We stayed at Villas Hermosas at the end of a 10 day trip and couldn't have been happoer. We only wish we had stayed there longer. The villa was perfect. Great layout, clean, nice and very comfortable. The property is in a nice quiet location with easy access to the beach and great surfing. Tara and Brad along with the... more
