"The Villa was as advertised with spectacular views of the jungle and ocean off in the distance. The rooms had A/C and kitchen was very well stocked. Very close to a major supermarket and many towns with excellent restaurants so you have the option of eating at home or going out. Everything was clean and in working order and the infinity pool was great. The property itself is very secure (large fence encloses the living area) and private (neighbors are hundreds of meters away).Going to sleep and waking to the sounds of the jungle was an otherworldly experience. Doug and Janet are very responsive, helpful and laid back. The concierge service offered via Juli was very helpful as well and she helped us plan our activities and stay. It's very well located and there is a ton to do in the area. You do need a 4x4 capable rental in Costa Rica and would suggest tire insurance.Overall, fantastic, smooth experience and would highly recommend to anyone"

"The staff was very friendly. The room was clean, the pool and the gardens were spacious. The restaurant was delicious and reasonably priced. Electric vehicle outlets are available for those with electric vehicles; just bring your charger."

"The organization by the management team was far beyond anything i have ever experienced with VRBO. I say team, because it is run by the owner, and a real estate company/group. The team functioned better than a high end hotel with, essentially, a concierge and all around sweet, hard working person in Alejandro. Ale' basically facilitated the whole trip and provided that critical local knowledge that can make or break your day when traveling to an unfamiliar area. They also have a shuttle service from the airport, it does cost extra, but was a big help. We traveled with 4 children, and the whole trip was hands down one of the best I have ever experienced. The home itself is luxurious and located just a short drive from any local excursions you may want. The photos online do not do the home, it's lush surroundings, or view/sunsets any justice. If I could give the home, and the assistance we had, and the trip more than 5 stars, I would. Thanks to Paul, Alejandro, Katya, and the rest of the team for assisting with an amazing trip. "

"The staff was very courteous, friendly and helpful "

"The location of the property is beautiful, set back from the road and elevated for a great view of the Pacific. We particularly enjoyed the Happy Hour each day at 5:00 to enjoy the fabulous sunsets. The pool, the colorful plants, the toucans, tanagers, orapendulas and numerous other birds added so much to our visit. The staff was so accommodating and friendly. Our 5 days spent at Cristal Ballena were top notch!"

"My stay at this jungle resort in Costa Rica was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the lush surroundings, the peaceful atmosphere, and the incredible hospitality. The resort is beautifully tucked into nature, allowing you to truly disconnect and soak in the beauty of the jungle. A special shoutout to Dan, the owner, who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and memorable. He was incredibly kind, helpful, and always ready with great local tips and stories. Whether it was arranging transportation, recommending hidden gems nearby, or just checking in to make sure I had everything I needed, Dan’s warmth and dedication made a real difference. If you’re looking for a place to relax, explore, and connect with nature—this is it. I can’t wait to come back!"
