Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in West Indies

Neatly neat house. Very large. I really liked the price-quality ratio. We were very close to the entrance of the park we had an early tour and we didn't have to drive from home very early because we only had to drive a little bit to the park. I do recommend a 4*4 car. We had 2*4 and missed a 4*4. Monteverde itself is a very nice village. A bit touristy, but after seeing many other not touristy places in Costa Rica at all, I liked that for a while. House was large and has a strikingly beautiful light during the day. We were very satisfied. Also nice was the laundry service that was provided. As a result, we didn't have to go all the way to the village with the laundry. There is a good, large oven in the apartment and a good gas stove so you can cook in the house yourself.

What an absolutely beautiful place to stay! This house is tucked in the jungle with loads of wildlife all around. There are other houses on the property, but they have preserved the gardens and jungle in such a fabulous way that you can’t even see any of the other houses. Felt super private. The plunge pool was absolutely delightful after we returned to the house. There are so many things close by, we especially love La Leyenda pizza restaurant. Which is just a short ride down the street in Playa Chiquita. Tine got back to me very quickly after each text I sent her. We will definitely stay here again!

Our family loved our stay at the Ocean View Villa. The highlights were the pool with waterfall, the ocean views had the best sunsets, the location was so close to the beach, the outdoor dining options with lights in the backyard. We appreciated back ups of things we may have forgotten at home, like bug spray, toothpaste, band aids, and extras like pool noodles, beach towels, and we put the blender to use every day making smoothies. Thanks for the core memories!

My stay was something I'll always remember. You immediately feel at home at Lucy's. Everything is so well organized, and the team of assistants is incredible. I happened to get a cold and was definitely not in good shape. But Lucy took such good care of me! I nearly forgot to talk about the breakfast: one of the highlights of the place! One word: incredible! Thanks again for all, Lucy and to the friendly people of Colombia!

great location removed from the hustle and bustle of the city center but still incredibly walkable everywhere you’d need to go; didn’t take us more than 15 minutes to walk anywhere. easy spot for uber pickups. water dispenser on fridge doesn’t work, so just be sure to bring lots. host had everything you’d need including bath towels, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I’d just be sure to pack a washcloth, beach towels, and possibly ear plugs if you’re a light sleeper, as there’s lots of birds in the nearby trees that get a bit loud around sunrise (5:30am). beautiful home, lots of space, i would stay here again.

This home is a fabulous getaway immersed in nature. We were offered a tasty breakfast by the pool overlooking the ocean and marina each day. We saw monkeys, Toucan, hummingbirds, and Macaws. Sandy, the owner’s daughter made our trip! She planned all our excursions, picked us up from the airport and served as a local guide. She has lived there her whole life and knows all best local spots. We love to immerse ourselves in the culture and learn about the country. She speaks English well, which also was a huge help at times. Driving around the area is not easy and sometimes you lose cell service, so it was so relaxing to have Sandy take care of all our transportation. I would not rent a car! I highly recommend staying in Quepos versus Manuel Antonio because the town is easy to walk to and safe.

it was a wonderful part of our Costa Rican trip to stop here for 2 days. the cottage is as described, rustic, one with nature and surrounded by a beautiful setting and animals! Everything was clean and we really enjoyed the tour Alexander gave our family, which allowed us to learn more about a way of life that is respectful of nature and the resources we share.

Perfect example of Spanish architectural genius! The house is beautiful! Well preserved and decorated. Daily housekeeping. Attentive hostess.

I stayed in the Nun's Room. The room's here all have names instead of numbers. It was a small room (and a small bed) on the second floor, no extra frills going on, but nice enough. The bedside clock had an issue with its display so I could not set an alarm on it. I just used my cell phone to wake me up in the morning. Breakfast was provided. Like the room, it was nice enough. The host was friendly to me at check in. Check out went smoothly.

Wonderful place to stay, cute and clean. Easy walk down a steep hill with stairs to a beach. Bioluminescence night kayak tour was beautiful. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. And we really enjoyed watching the Howler monkeys that were hanging around.

The stay at Gudrun's house was wonderful. It has a very nice house, surrounded by nature and very well located. Gudrun is very kind, always looking forward to having an amazing stay. Her recommendations were very accurate. Also, their breakfasts are delicious. My husband and I really enjoyed the stay at his home and would definitely come back to stay there.

If you find yourself in Puntarenas and have a taste for history and true hospitality, Casa Fait is the place to go. The house itself is beautifully and carefully restored to it’s early 20th century splendour, which is completely surreal given today’s reality of the fisherman town. The hosts are beyond welcoming and shared a lot of stories, recommendations, anecdotes and wisdom. It has been a great experience on our journey through Costa Rica.

Olga is absolutely lovely and amazing! The property is stunning and very well staffed. Olga gave us an extremely warm welcome and lined up transportation and activities for us. Our son had a stomach virus while we were there. She and her staff were BEYOND kind, helpful and accommodating. Olga has created a wonderful environment of community with her staff and guests. We cannot say enough good things! She also coordinated a boat tour to the Rosario Islands that was awesome! We would absolutely stay with Olga again, and you should as well!

We stayed 3 nights at Yamile’s house and loved her place from the first minute. Yamile is a very nice person always avilable with tips and answers to our questions. Her breakfast was just great.

Definitely would recommend! A cute little spot with lovely outdoor space and a great location for walks, restaurants, and the beach. Eva was very responsive and helpful throughout the stay.

The space inside was lovely and homie. The outdoor space was even better. Excellent spot to go for a swim. Very peaceful spot to hang out and stare out into the water❤️

We loved our stay at this place, thanks to the incredible hospitality of Luisa and Santiago. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel right at home. The place is very quiet and private, perfect for disconnecting from the world and relaxing. The best breakfasts. Every morning, we were surprised with an amazing culinary experience. Luisa and Santiago are exceptional hosts. Always willing to help and make sure we were comfortable. We recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet and private retreat, with a delicious meal and exceptional hospitality! Thanks for having us!

A place to totally disconnect and be close to nature🍃, with just the right for a very quiet and comfortable stay. They were very helpful and kind to us, they even helped me with my breakfast as I had a medical restriction 🫶🏻 The way of arrival and departure, is well uncovered but worth it.

Very clean and comfortable room with much needed A/C! The covered deck outside was very large and the perfect place to end our evenings. The staff were phenomenal, very responsive and happy to help in any way that they could. The beach is just a few steps away and very lovely. We made friends with a few of the local dogs, specifically blanquita who would wait outside for us each morning. Raul’s place was one of the highlights of our trip!

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful weekend at Marta’s home on a stunning mountainside with gorgeous views! We are so glad that we decided to make this our homebase and visit Jardin and the surrounding area for hikes, wandering town or for meals. Marta and family are lovely people and we felt so welcomed immediately. Staying at their finca, where they grow coffee and so many kinds of fruit, is a lovely way to learn more about Colombian culture. We balanced our time hanging out at the house and having some meals there with going into Jardín and hiking the area. It is worth knowing that Gustavo, Marta’s husband, is available to pick you up and bring you to/from town for a fee; he is an expert at navigating the steep and sometimes muddy road to their home. That in itself is a memorable adventure in his jeep from the 1950’s! We also got to practice our Spanish and their youngest daughter (who is was delightful) practiced her English with us. We can’t wait to return.

During our time in Viñales, we stayed with Alvaro and Yuko and had a fantastic experience! They were both incredibly friendly and helpful—they helped us with exchanging money and helped organise a collective taxi from Viñales to Trinidad. Breakfast was available every morning and was not only fresh and delicious but also beautifully presented. Highly recommended—we truly appreciated their warm hospitality and the lovely atmosphere of the place!

I stay here, almost every time, I come to Costa Rica. Edward and his family are always so kind and go above and beyond for their guests. Thank you, always, for the wonderful stay. Pura Vida!

Such a nice stay in a relaxing environment. Best view into the green mountains, we saw so many birds. Ruth & Andreas were lovely hosts. We can highly recommend.

Frana Lodge is a beautiful place, a real authentic hidden gem. The hike to the lodge is a little challenging with your bags, but well worth it! Crossing through the stream is actually refreshing on a hot day and adds to the whole experience of the location. Once you arrive, you can relax in the hammocks, greet the pets, and have a cold beer or a very tasty icy fresh fruit drink. The lodge itself is perfectly clean, offers spectacular views, lots of local trails, and it’s walking distance to Tayrona National Park. Franz took a lot of extra time talking to us about things to do on our short 3 night stay, offering suggestions including a really great local cocoa tour. He also arranged onsite massages. They offer breakfast & delicious dinners for a small fee. The food is 100% fresh and homemade. Lunch is not offered, but you can eat lunch when you’re out during the day nearby. It’s the perfect place to relax & get away. Thank you, Franz & staff.
