What a great trip!  Great friends, great adventures, great place, and great staff!  Could not not be  more happy on a vacation!

We had a fabulous time spending our vacation with all 12 members of our Frazer family. Family in Costa Rica was a dream come true! The staff at Villa Puesta del Sol was the best ever!

This villa exceeds all expectations and beats Southern hospitality! Thank you for making our wish come true and our parents dream come true! Costa Rica is full of adventures and awesome!  I pray we can return one day.

This is such a lovely home.  Andy, Allison & Joselyn have made this a wonderful vacation time with these lovely people. Service is impeccable!

Thank you for creating this wonderful place.  Heaven on Earth!  Your folks are exemplary, sweet, kind and professional. Never lose Andy!

There are not enough lines to talk about the people that are in charge of the guests and maid service (so respectfully speaking). I am an older “dumb” blonde, but I am also kindred spirit to service & hospitality and all of that.  All of these people worked & worked making it look oh so easy.  I pray the Good Lord will let me come back. If not you, all come back to see me in Key West!

This has been a most memorable and relaxing vacation. Thanks to all the staff here. Allison is a wonderful cook and sweet as pie.  Andy is a drink prep extraordinaire and so friendly and accommodating.  Joselyn is sweet and cared for my room so lovingly. Trino took such loving care of us and the grounds at night.  Our drivers got us everywhere safely. I feel like I have new family members.

Thank you is not enough!  Andy & Stephanie were always ready to pour & serve. Allison’s meals were excellent! Oliver & Joshua made all of our excursions smooth less.  We love your country & love your people! Much thanks & love! Until we meet again!

We had a fabulous time during our week at Villa Puesta del Sol.  We did 3 different excursions during our week.  We went to Tamarindo and took surfing lessons, did a catamaran tour including beach bbq, snorkeling, paddle boarding and sunset sail.  We also went to Buena Vista del Rincon which had a waterslide, ziplines, horseback riding, hot springs and mud bath.

The staff here made our stay absolutely delightful!  Delicious food, clean rooms and laundry, amazing cocktails and perfect guidance and advice from Andy.  We are so grateful! Muchas gracias!  The location, the view and the amenities are impeccable!

Wow!  What a vacation!  Our expectations were exceeded! Thank you for the most magical week. The Drumm family will visit Ocotal & Villa Puesta del Sol again soon!  We loved spending our first visit to Costa Rica with all of you! Much love! Pura Vida!

We could not have asked for a better trip!  Spring Break 2023 was an absolute dream! The food, the service, the house and the entire experience – 100%.  I cannot think of one thing to change it.  It was paradise!  Thank you Villa Puesta del Sol ! We love you!

We had the best time and are so sad the trip is ending.  The house was perfect for our families and our stay was excellent.  The entire staff was wonderful, food was delicious and daily laundry was a lovely surprise.  Andy took the best care of the us and always was available. The excursions were so fun and it was nice to have many options available.  Everyone loved the massages!  Truly a house in paradise and hope to return again.  Thank you, thank you and thank you!

Amazing! We tried to think of your favorite meal & they were all delicious with a beautiful presentation all around!  Thank you, Allison!  Andy is top notch!   He is on top of everything with a smile. He is so much more than a “bartender”! He knows exactly what each guest wants/needs and shares stories about the local culture. All of things that make this an amazing experience!   We would highly recommend the Don Bosco sailboat excursion.  Outstanding crew and day. Joselyne keeps the house more than spotless. She did our daily laundry, folded and put it away for each guest!   Pura Vida!

This house was like none other!  We loved everything about it. The rooms, the pool and excursions.  But most of all loved Andy!  He always had a smile on his face and an answer for all of our crazy questions.  He went above and beyond  for all of us.

Every meal was delicious! Allison was a true talent. She even had to accommodate allergies. Andy was so caring and careful regarding the food. We truly appreciated it. Joselyne took such pride in her responsibilities as with our rooms and the house. It was such a treat to return to our rooms to find our clothes neatly folded and clean. Pura Vida!!

We have truly had the most amazing time! Andy has provided phenomenal service and the most delicious cocktails! Allison’s cooking is phenomenal! We have thoroughly enjoyed each and every meal. Thank you Joselyne and Nury for keeping our rooms, clean and our laundry ready to go.  This has truly been a luxurious visit and we can’t wait to come back! Thank you for everything! We have loved every minute! See you in 2024!

Food is amazing, tasty and beautifully served.  We cannot say enough about our wonderful, fun, fantastic experience.  The staff is great, always attentive and with smiles and good humor.

It will be just about impossible to replicate this vacation…….it’s been perfect!

Thank you, Andy, Allsion. Joselyne and staff for an unforgettable week.

We had a great family reunion.  Andy and the staff were wonderful. Superior service. Many fun activities. Amazing food. People were so sweet. Great views.  Totally enjoyed the “Pura Vida” here in Costa Rica!

Loved our time at Villa Puesta del Sol. We loved the sailboat tour, ATV’s, massages and the hot springs. Andy, Allison and Joselyne and their assistants were all amazing. The food and service was so good.  The outdoor furniture was so comfortable and the beds also. Views are the best we have ever seen!

It was wonderful to be able to spend New’s Years Eve here at the villa.  Our families so enjoyed the views, the food and the weather.  The staff was incredible minding every detail, so that we had a terrific experience!  So grateful for the memories we will have of C.R.

Thank you Andy, Allison and Jocelyn! All 12 of us had an amazing time here, thanks to your efforts and thoughtfulness. The house and the beach, the birds, the food………we could go on and on.  But its time for us to go back to the cold in Toronto, Canada and Lake Tahoe. We will carry our memories forever.

The best week ever!!!  The staff was incredible, excellent service, above & beyond!  We loved Costa Rica, such a welcoming and friendly place.  We loved the villa, the food, the views and the wildlife.

What a wonderful week!  Thank you, Andy and all the staff!  I feel blessed to have enjoyed the beautiful view and all the week’s adventures.

After covid delay for 2 years, our dream came true, and we were not disappointed. It was worth the wait and will have beautiful memories until we come again!  We will be back!  What a joy and a blessing.

Beautiful villa with all the comforts of home plus a wonderful staff that takes you in as family. Gorgeous views and a very relaxing atmosphere. Andy, Allison, Joselyne and the rest of the staff are perfect hosts!

The home, the staff and the owner are all fabulous. Can’t say enough about this vacation!

Best vacation ever! Andy, Allison and the whole staff are the best. They treated us like royalty.  Fishing was spectacular. Caught a 50lb Mahi & a 300lb Marlin!  Total Fun!

Beautiful house, excellent staff, fantastic food, couldn’t a sk for better service and completely satisfied.

Spoiled is our theme for this beautiful house and the attentive staff.  The house was so perfect for our group of 14 celebrating our friend’s 50th birthday!

Enjoyed a family vacation in a splendid home filled with a staff that were the sweetest and most fun friends to share a few days with.  Thank you for a fun few days of relaxation and exploration. Loved it!

We had the most wonderful time. It was like a true paradise.

3rd trip to Costa Rica!  Last time 7 days wasn’t enough, so this time was 10 glorious days! We had so much fun and the staff at Puesta del Sol made it all happen for group of 10.  Allison’s super yummy food, 3 meats a day-Wow!  So so good! Joselyn made sure our rooms and the whole villa was perfectly in order and clean. She laundered our clothes daily exactly as we asked.  And then there’s Andy-he is superman!  Anything you want or need and he’s Johnny on the spot.  He makes the best cocktails, sets and serves the meals with precision.  He is so personable. We want to take him home with us. Love you, Andy!

Best staff ever! Would return for sure and had a great time!

Wonderful staff! Great accommodations! Fantastic trip!

First time in Costa Rica. What a blast!  Loved the villa, people and nature!  Andy is so accommodating and sweet! Joscelyn always knew what to do with our “stuff”. Allison’s pancakes are to die for!

We have enjoyed our stay at Puesta del Sol!  Andy and Allison were wonderful! Andy catered to all  of  our needs, and we always had a cocktail in our hands. He’s the best!  Allison served delicious meals. Jocelyn took care of our laundry needs and kept our rooms clean. Highly recommend Puesta del Sol to anyone!

This is the ultimate vacation spot! We visited Costa Rica for the first time and will be heading back again soon!  Villa Puesta del Sol was first class all the way.  The accommodations were perfect with private baths in each room and plenty of room to spread out. The owners thought of all the details including room darkening shades for anyone who did not want to be up to see the amazing sunrise! The views are amazing from sunup to sundown. You will entertained by the canaries and magpies who fly about and entertain in the nearby trees.  As you take your morning walk be on the lookout for the howler monkeys up in the trees-they are entertaining to watch.

The staff is amazing! Andy is ultimate bartender, always one step ahead of us in anticipating our food, beverage and relaxation needs. Allison’s amazing cooking kept us wanting more (but needing less) and Joselyn’s attention to assuring our rooms were perfect left us wanting for nothing.  The owners were available to assist and arrange transportation from the airport and local guide provided personalized service to assist in our explorations.

We are looking forward to our next visit and hope to our families along to experience the wonders of Puesta del Sol -Ocotal.

Extremely relaxing with impeccable service!  Staff was very attentive to my husband’s food allergies.  We cannot thank Andy and Allison enough. Joselyn did a fantastic job with room cleaning and laundry.  Andy went above and beyond packing us water and soda for all of our excursions and seeing to all of our needs.

We loved every second!  Love, Love, Love Allison, Andy and Joselyn!

Wow!  I honestly don’t know where to start.  The amount of things there are to do around here is astounding and the service the staff provides is unparalleled.  Whatever it is that you need, they will make it happen. There was never one time  we ran into a “no” answer. Our entire group could not be more pleased with the  service Joselyn, Allison and Andy provided.  Our first trip to Costa Rica was exactly what we wanted and we couldn’t ask for a better host.

A week of delightful interaction between our family and the splendid experiences Costa Rica has to offer. The beaches, Rainforest Ricande Veja, white water rafting and a day of sailing, snorkeling and riding on jet skis.  All along the way the house and staff were helpful, encouraging and attentive. Great food and the staff provided a cheerful, clean environment with a very yummy food. Thanks to all!

What an incredibly perfect place to unwind and RELAX! Awesome service and a beautiful space.  Can’t wait until next time!

Amazing! The staff and everything was perfect! Already planning my next stay!
