Magical. Beautiful setting with magnificent views. The owners went out of their way to make sure we felt at home and showed us around this amazing hotel they had built. We only stayed a night but with more time you can explore the many trails and waterfalls on their estate. The road to the hotel was unmade but that was no problem, just slow.

What stood out the most is the friendliness of the staff. The hotel operations manager is a GEM. The villa had a really cozy style, and was very spacious. The hotel is right on the beach, and we made the most of it. There was never more than 10 people around, for kilometers. Absolutely dreamy. The hotel pool is so warm, you could spend hours in there. Highly recommend the ceviche at the hotel restaurant, it was by far the best ceviches we had in Costa Rica! There are no nearby restaurants or bars, but honestly didn't bother given that we found really tasty and decently priced options at the hotel. We'd absolutely go back here for a few relaxed days.

one of the best and calmest places I’ve ever stayed. was perfect for the quiet few days I wanted by the beach. the beach access was a huge plus. the bar by the pool was perfect and I ate at the restaurant every day and was never disappointed. highly recommend

Cosy hotel close to the beach with the most friendly and helpful staff i’ve ever encountered!

Right at the beach. Really nice look and feel. Friendly staff.

Beautiful, quiet, clean, and friendly staff.

Here's a list of the great things about this house: -The owner is exceptional! He communicated with us 2 weeks before our arrival and answered all our questions. This was our first trip to CR, and he gave us so many great tips. He gave us recommendations for where to stop for lunch along the road to the property from San Jose to where to shop for groceries. He was also very flexible in coordinating payment. -Gilberto is the property manager and he was extremely attentive. He met us at the house within a minute of our arrival and he was always available any time we needed anything. In fact, we needed an extra blanket for one of the beds and Gilberto showed up with a new comforter within an hour. We have had room service at hotels take longer! We felt like with Gilberto, we had a concierge. -The house is set back from the main road and very private. It has tall hedges that surround it and a gated driveway for added security. At night, the porch has retractable doors that can be closed. CR is safe, but we appreciated the sense of safety of being in a house that had added security features. -The town of Parrita has everything that you need, but it is not touristy. It has multiple grocery stores and convenience markets, and it is halfway between Quepos and Jaco. Plus the Playa Bandera is only a five minute drive from the house and it is a gorgeous and almost deserted beach. If you want just a beach vacation, you can stay at Hotel Villa Elenita and never leave the town of Parrita. -The kitchen appliances are new and top notch. Everything was clean and operated without any problems. -The bathroom is huge, clean, has great hot water, and the water pressure is good. -The bedrooms are big with plenty of storage space, and the beds and pillows are amazing. Everyone in our family slept like babies at Hotel Villa Elenita. We felt like the beds at this vacation house were more comfortable than ours back home!
