You wont have the luxury of a 5 star hotel but you'll have the 5 star experience of the rural Costa Rican lifestyle! The whole property has trees and vegetation galore. Onsite ice cream parlor and depending if you are there high or low season, a restaurant with bar. Security 24 hours. The little cute villas (single story duplex townhomes) are all different ranging from 1 to 2 and 3 bdrms with a/c units. Some dated and some remodeled. The onsite pool is huge and tropical. You should have a car to get around to all the close beaches and other close towns however you can certainly walk to 3 different beaches with beautiful views of the lush landscape.

Spent Christmas at this hotel rather than in the snow of Canada. Room was very clean. Staff were exceptional - always ready to help.I think the bed in the kitchen should have been a sofa bed, hard to watch the TV while you are sitting on someones bed. Kept a towel across the door so the big spiders didn't get in. Lots of empty rooms whose patio I used as they had really nice outdoor furniture and we had 2 uncomfortable plastic chairs. Loved the pool and used it twice a day. No Wifi available in the room had to go down to the Office. We realize that Villaggio 5 is not quite finished but it would be nice if you could walk through to the other 4 Villaggios instead of going by road. We do not have a car and to walk to the Marco Polo for supper was impossible - dirt road and no street lights. Beach was further than we thought but it was not a big problem. Taxis were reasonably cheap and bus's were ridiculously cheap.
