Nice Villa, Great Stay

We had an excellent stay at this Villa! Check-in and parking were very easy. Nice view and overall really nice Villa. We were only there a few nights, so did not have time to take full advantage of the resort property – but would return to do so! The Villa is lovely and we would rent it again, though it has a few things that could use some TLC. The a/c works, but some of the mini-split units are not strong (namely the living room and master bedroom) but overall the a/c was adequate. The pull down shades on the patio are dried out and cannot be pulled down. The Villa was clean but the private pool was not upon our arrival. There was a net and we cleaned it ourselves which took only a few minutes. It is a "nice to have" to do a quick dip to cool off. The pool-person arrived and cleaned, but it was the day we were leaving. Nice pots & pans and excellent kitchen (no dish washer, but no big deal – just an FYI). Really lovely place overall. The hammock outside is a nice touch. Overall 4.5/5 stars and would recommend!

Loved villas sol

Villas sol and in particular villa 36 were awesome. 36 is high enough up the hill that you have a great view. We loved the outdoor space for relaxing. This villa is close to the wet bar and the shuttle was very convenient for coming back from the beach (all uphill) but we also walked back some days. Villa 36 needs some love, the counter was glued back on, maybe a fresh coat of paint as the walls are all scuffed and dirty probably from luggage. Communication about the amenities could have been better. The front desk is very helpful even though I don’t think they have to be as it’s a “private rental” but you can purchase a meal plan through the front desk for any number of days if you want! We did this for the last day and enjoyed the unlimited drinks at the pool. My teen boys loved the activity crew at the pool and we all loved the views. Overall I poor alt would not rent through Vascasa again but would definitely stay at villas solAgain!!

The photos are out dated

This property is in a good location if you do not want to rent a vehicle. We have used VRBO for years and book several a year. We tend to book in ski area’s. This property had dead bugs when we walked in. Not a good 1st Impression. The sofa an chairs are very dirty. The shower head was broken , the door falling off the track in the shower. The walls were filthy. Thankfully we were on the ho an sat on the porch.This property owner has not paid any attention to this property and I suggest a handy man. The manager did stay in touch and asked for photos. There are many other places to stay.

Aged but beautiful

The property is nice but aging with a lot of deferred maintenance. Unit 36 is nicely decorated, we specifically liked the artwork and soaking pool which was cool and refreshing in the warm weather. The bedroom storage was cheap and one drawer does not stay closed. On a downer note, I woke up with multiple bites on my legs, ankles, and feet that I did not have when I went to bed. There may be bed bugs or spiders.

Cute Little Villa in Great Location

The villa we stayed in was very cute, and was in a great location. It was awesome to have shuttles available to take you around the resort, to the beach, etc. This villa was just a short walk to the pool and restaurant on the resort. It was clean, and the check-in process was easy. Would recommend staying here! We had a group of 5 and it was just the right size.

Clean but…

Yes, the villa was clean. However, the photos are a bit deceiving as the unit is aged. Locks, plumbing fixtures, and bathroom counter are loose and sagging. Electric kettle is broken and lid falls off exposing hands to steam burns…this was reported in our first day and not replaced. Beds are EXTREMELY hard and pillows are old, stained and flat. Usually, there is more than salt and pepper in the vacation rentals we’ve used, so on our way in we bought groceries but not oil, vinegar, onion powder, tea….we were sorry to learn that none of these were in the unit. Lastly, the unit was not ready at 4 for check in so the keys were not at the lobby (no AC in 90 degree weather!) and at checkout, with all our luggage-the front desk would not allow our taxi to pick us up!!! He had to wait for us at the lobby!!!

Had a lovely time here however check in and communication was pretty bad. Great villa however pictures on here don’t really match the property. It’s one of hundreds of villas within a “resort” type place. Our main issue was once we checked out 4 days later they just charged my card another $90 due to a “broken” chair. My wife and I didn’t break any chairs but more so concerned that they just charged my card 90$ at free will without even contacting me first. But I suppose that’s one way to keep buying new furniture…

Loved the unit and location - Property Management poor

We LOVED this unit and the location. It’s smaller than it appears in pics but the space is useful and was comfortable for 6 adults. There is a tankless water heater in the hall closet and it was not on when we arrived. If you don’t have hot water check there first. There are no instructions regarding its use. The ACs work great once they cool the place down. We turned them all down low and turned on fans and shut doors until it cooled off. There is a washer and dryer which is nice bc there aren’t enough towels for a lengthy stay. I’ve read some reviews that you have to ask for access but it was unlocked. Checkin was frustrating as I did not receive the email and had to message them. Download the WhatsApp before leaving bc that’s how you will attempt to communicate with the local contact. The response time was very slow. We got our keys at the reception area but it closes at 5 so if you have a late flight make other arrangements ahead of time. The porch and pool are lovely and we spent a lot of time out there. The unit is fantastic. The resort is fantastic. Costa Rica is fantastic. If there were better managed it would be 5 star and I’d return but will not return with this management.

It was a great location, no issues. The kids loved the private pool. The master bedroom didn't get very cool (it wasn't hot by any means) with the A.C but the rest of the house did fine. There were raccoon that would come by at night time so be sure not to leave out anything they could get in to. All in all our trip was great

A good place to stay and would stay again!

We enjoyed our vacation at Villa Sol 36. The property is great, the location on the hill overlooking the water is amazing. Such a great place to sit and look at the view. Wow. There is a lot of seating, many rocking chairs and regular seats. The living space was good sized with a very comfy couch to nap on. The dining area was great, it had its own AC or you could open all the doors and get the breeze. Loved that part. The hammock could go two directions which was good, but watch out if you connect it to the steal beam the wood will hit the window. Kevin was great with anything we asked for regarding maintenance. He had people there immediately. We didn’t have to keep calling which was nice. The food and drinks in the restaurant on top of the hill were very well priced and good. Really good. It was a steep walk up the hill but worth it. Both pools have a nice temperature and all the bartenders were nice and made great drinks. The beach wasn’t that far away, by shuttle or by walking, just a steep hill. The beach is gorgeous with black sand from the lava. Eat breakfast at robertos. Great food. Some things that I wouldn’t say are cons but just need a little work: - 1-2 more chaise loungers to lay on on the patio, they only have one - specific directions for what you have to do with the garbage and where you have to put it, another reviewer said the same thing. We weren’t sure if we had to take it all the way down the hill. - access to washer and dryer immediately vs having to ask because you don’t really have access to clean your towels or clean towels unless you ask Kevin. - the times of the shuttle, we didn’t know it ended at 6pm for the beach and had to walk back. Sometimes they were running 1 shuttle, sometimes 2, we didn’t know when they were doing what. - access to other linens like a blanket to lay on the couch with. - more than 2 wash clothes for 3 people. It felt like we would have to keep calling for more linens. Luckily our friend brought one. - the towel place open by the pool because it sucks if you forget your towel at home you don’t have access to one like if you went to eat then wanted to dip into the water. These are all things that make it a notch above the other places you could book. Having access to the washer dryer once we had it was great. Loved being able to wash our own towels. I would absolutely Return here. We had a great time. Having your own pool is amazing.
