"Our family of eight (adults) enjoyed a delightful week at this beautiful villa. Everything about Vista Encanta was near perfect: four bedrooms with great views of the Pacific, the infinity pool; indoor and outdoor dining, AC to every room, complete kitchen and bar, total privacy.Our two cars (small SUVs) took us to great ATVing with Jungle ATV in Uvita, fishing with Tropic Fins at Puerto Jiminez, surfing with Bodhi Surf in Uvita, and a tour of Manuel Antonio National Park at Quepos. All were excellent.JP, from The Private Chef, prepared, served and cleaned-up a delicious New Years Eve meal that included the tuna we caught in the week.Numerous great restaurants are within a short drive. Conveniently, the best dining was at Citrus and Heliconia, in Ojochal. Try the Bakery in Uvita for fresh baked bread and pastries, plus breakfast and lunch in huge servings!We’ll be back!"

"It is a beautiful hotel. Large room with everything functional. The lobby is nice with a beautiful pool. Incredible views both from lobby and room. But the thing that made this hotel stand out was the amazing service. I had a couple of issues because I biked there and the staff did everything they could to help me. Also, I ate at the restaurant and the food was made exactly as I asked and tasted great. Breakfast was very good. You will not be disappointed."

"This location was exactly what our family needed. The house was beautiful. It had a breathtaking ocean view and the natural wonders of the jungle. We saw toucans, Izzy the resident Iguana and a small tapir. We could hear howler monkeys all around in the mornings. Mark was on the spot communicating with us to make our arrival seamless. Rolando was a huge help checking. The recommendation provided by Mark were very helpful. The beaches are a short drive from the house. We had a relaxing week and look forward to visiting again. Thank you Mark."

"The staff are all wonderful people. They made us feel right at home. The ambience was amazing, we saw and heard a ton of wildlife. The howler monkeys sure do know how to make an entrance. The gazebo by the water was tranquil and I recharged after spending time in the hammock. The food was delicious as breakfast comes with the stay. I totally recommend this place for anyone wanting to be close to things yet feel like you are far away."

"The property was wonderful. It was too wet to hike, but view was great. You definitely need a 4WD and arrive during the day as suggested."

"Fantastic. The owner and chef are the best!"

"Pictures do not do this place justice! It is a beautiful and super nice! My partner and I loved staying here! The view is immaculate! The owner is very friendly and will happily answer any questions or concerns you might have! :) you must stay here if you want privacy and the beautiful rainforest and wildlife surrounding you. Pura Vida! "

" My two grandchildren (ages 11 and 23) and I had an adventure of a lifetime. We felt we were experiencing the real Costa Rica with the horseback ride into the hills, snorkeling off Cano Island with the turtles, viewing humpback whales, picking up sand dollars off the nearby beach, quietly exploring the maze of mangrove swamps, and drinking from a freshly-cut coconut on Jose’s fruit farm. We were able to get by with our very minimal Spanish. After our excursions, it was a delight to return to the house and “chill” while Dolly cooked our exquisite dinners. Everything was fresh and we usually had leftovers for the next day. My area was the upstairs and the kids had the downstairs. Ruben and his wife helped with getting us to places, cleaning, and laundry. Everybody associated with this villa was very kind and you had no worries. My grandchildren still talk about the trip. This region is so lush with flora and fauna. Yes, we saw monkeys and sloths in the nearby area. We highly recommend the Casa Rio Sierpe! It’s more than lodging; it’s an immersive cultural experience.

"This place was beautiful! The decor is Mediterranean/pacific island vibe that is amazing. The pool area is outstanding and the dining options around the hotel are wonderful. "
