Thank you very much for a week full of many adventures.  Loved the beach, loved the yellow fin tuna we caught with captain Jay. Thank you for the most awesome surroundings ever.

Mareas Villas was one of the most impressive places I have every had the opportunity to stay at. My husband and I spent 4 nights at Mareas in May and were amazed by the entire package. The views of the ocean were incredible and the height above sea level cooled things down. The resort is surrounded by a pristine rainforest so we saw and heard toucans, monkeys, frogs, birds and every sort of animal you could think of. The tropical plants were exotic and beautiful. On property were 3 amazing waterfalls that were fun to hike to and play in.

The rooms are tasteful with luxurious things like king beds, soft sheets, outdoor shower and gorgeous tile throughout. The Main House just blew me away. From the relaxing vibe indoors with large wood bar and vaulted ceilings to the sizeable infinity pool with waterfall, I fell in love with the combination of class and comfort.

Our host and resort owner, Tim Davis, was born for this job. Personable and knowledgeable, Tim was happy to show us the sites on property and give us great information for the TONS of things to do in the area. His low-key demeanor and service-oriented attitude are a perfect combination to host people.

Finally, the area. Wow. I’ve been to Costa Rica many times but never have I quite experienced the combination of beautiful beaches (definitely check out Playa Uvita and Dominical) and rain forest. It was like getting a best of Costa Rica package all in one place.

I would definitely recommend Mareas as a very romantic place for couples but it also has amazing space for groups and families looking to have a beautiful place in paradise all to themselves. Can’t wait to return!
