Reviews of Villa Punto de Vista
Review summary
Villa Punta de Vista is an exceptional destination wedding estate with striking architecture, breathtaking jungle and ocean views, abundant wildlife, and spacious villas perfect for large groups. Reviewers praise the attentive, professional staff, seamless planning, excellent food, and thoughtful details that made guests feel cared for. Many call it a once-in-a-lifetime, recommended experience.
Trip of a lifetime
In short: our stay and wedding at PDV was the most incredible travel and wedding experience we have ever had. If your dates are available, book it. You will not regret it.
We booked the villas almost 20 months before our February 2026 wedding, and there were definitely moments where we wondered if such a big destination experience would be worth the cost and the commitment we were asking of our guests. After the trip, every single person agreed: it was absolutely worth it. Many of our guests are already talking about going back.
We are from Canada and had guests travelling from all over the world. Our core group staying at the villas was 37 adults and 6 children, and additional guests travelled to the area for the wedding events.
The Villas (Accommodations)
We rented both villas (18 bedrooms total) and the amount of space was beyond what we expected. The properties are huge, beautifully designed, and perfect for large groups. Everyone had plenty of room to relax and spread out.
Highlights:
Two incredible pools
Large dining space at PDV that easily fit our group of ~40 for meals
A media room connected to the dining area that worked perfectly as a kid space
Flexible room setups for families and groups
The villas worked extremely well for our group, including families with young children.
Event Spaces
We hosted two major events at the villas with ~80 total guests (including children).
Welcome Party – Villa La Isla
We held a welcome party on the upper level with bartenders, karaoke, and even a cigar roller. The indoor/outdoor space was perfect for mingling, dancing, and celebrating. It comfortably fit our entire group and created an amazing first night together.
Wedding Day – PDV
Cocktails: Main floor
Dinner: Rooftop
Reception/party: Main floor
The rooftop dinner was spectacular. We had long tables and a sweetheart table and would recommend around 70 guests as a comfortable maximum for a seated rooftop dinner. We set up a kids’ dinner one level below in the media room, which worked perfectly.
The Staff & Service
The service at PDV is truly world-class.
Our on-site concierge team (Jossue, Sigrid, Jackson, Erick, and José) were exceptional. They somehow managed to give our group privacy while also anticipating needs before we even asked. Every guest commented on how warm, attentive, and thoughtful the team was.
We felt completely taken care of the entire week.
Pre-Arrival Planning
The pre-arrival concierge team, Gloriela and Karla, were amazing throughout the entire planning process. We worked with them for nearly two years and they were always responsive, organized, and incredibly helpful with recommendations.
One example: on our drive to the villas they coordinated a lunch stop at a beach restaurant, reserved the best seating, pre-placed our orders, and timed everything with our arrival. It was such a seamless start to the trip and set the tone for the week.
Food & Experiences
The Wow Chef team prepared incredible meals for us throughout the week, including several dinners and an unforgettable beach BBQ. The beach BBQ was a highlight for many of our guests and something we would absolutely recommend to anyone staying at the villas.
Wedding Planning & Vendors
Our wedding planner Chelsea Brandeau (Oasis Destination Weddings) was phenomenal. She helped us focus on what really mattered, handled countless details behind the scenes, and made the entire experience stress-free. On the wedding day we genuinely felt like guests at our own celebration.
Chelsea also connected us with amazing vendors including:
Adri Mendez Photography / Lucas Weddings
James Kelly (catering)
DJ AClass
Every vendor integrated seamlessly with the villa team and our guests.
Ceremony Location
We chose to have our ceremony on the beach at Hotel Arboleda, about 10 minutes from the villas by shuttle. The setting was stunning and it was magical to take photos at sunset on the beach with all our guests.
Activities & Wildlife
The villa team also helped organize activities including:
Catamaran tour
Ziplining
Manuel Antonio wildlife hike
All were great and very kid-friendly.
One of the most incredible parts of staying at PDV was the wildlife. Within the first couple days we saw capuchin monkeys, squirrel monkeys, howler monkeys, multiple sloths, toucans, macaws, and countless birds right from the property. It truly feels like staying in the jungle.
The Beach
The beach is about a 10–15 minute downhill walk from the villas and absolutely stunning. It’s long, wide, and perfect for walking, swimming, or relaxing under the trees.
Final Thoughts
This trip exceeded every expectation we had. The villas are spectacular, the staff are extraordinary, and the entire experience felt thoughtful and seamless from start to finish.
Our entire group had an unbelievable time and we are already talking about planning an anniversary trip back to PDV.
A huge thank you to the entire PDV team. Pura Vida!
Dreams Do Come True
The property itself is breathtaking. The views are absolutely stunning, and every corner of the estate feels thoughtfully designed to highlight the beauty of the surrounding jungle and ocean. Waking up each morning to the sounds of tropical birds, spotting monkeys in the trees (and at the pool and breakfast), and even seeing sloths made the experience feel magical and uniquely Costa Rican.
What truly made our stay unforgettable, though, was the incredible staff. They took exceptional care of us and every one of our guests throughout the entire stay. The team was attentive, warm, and always one step ahead—making sure everything ran seamlessly so we could focus on enjoying time with our family and friends. It honestly felt like having a full private resort team dedicated just to our group.
The fresh fruit was phenomenal, the service was impeccable, and the level of care and attention to detail was unlike anything we’ve experienced before. Hosting our wedding here was the best decision we could have made. Our guests are still talking about how incredible the entire experience was.
If you are considering Villa Punto de Vista for a wedding or group celebration, we cannot recommend it highly enough. Our stay was better than our wildest dreams, and we will cherish those memories forever.
The best decision!!
From the moment we arrived, there wasn’t a single moment we didn’t feel deeply cared for. The warm service at breakfast all the way into the late evenings when we enjoyed freshly made pina coladas by the pool. We loved being on the property so much that we were happy staying put, but also appreciated how easy it was to get out and explore. Highlights included the nearby beach (lovely for long walks and a swim) and an afternoon catamaran trip.
David, the architect and owner, is extraordinary. I’ve never experienced someone who goes so far out of his way to make sure you have the trip of a lifetime. The love and care from him and the entire team is palpable, and because of that, we had so little stress despite it being our wedding.
Would highly recommend renting both villas if you can. Having dinners in different locations each night added to the magic of the experience. When we left, every single guest raved about their time there. We left teary-eyed (literally) and already dreaming about when we can come back.
Amazing property with even better professional staff!
The villa chef was amazing - everyone remarked on how our favorite meals were those in the villa with our own private chef. The rest of the staff was incredible too. Don't hesitate to solicit help from them - they solved every problem we shared with them.
The bedrooms are super comfortable - AC was plenty strong (a common issue at other houses we have leased in CR), beds are clean and comfortable and the connected outdoor shower (at least in my room) was great.
In short, for the price, which I find to be incredibly reasonable, you can't go wrong with Villa de Isla. Your only issue will be running the risk of spoiling your family and guests into expecting similar first-class accommodations and experience at all your subsequent vacation spots.
Bachelorette party
Pure Magic in Paradise
What truly made the experience extraordinary was the staff. They pampered us from start to finish with such warmth, care, and attention to detail that we felt completely cherished. Every moment was effortless, intimate, and filled with joy.
This isn’t just a venue, it’s an experience you’ll carry with you forever. If you’re dreaming of something truly special, Villa Punto de Vista will exceed every expectation.

Definition of Beauty and Home all in one!
From an initial phone call with the owner David, explaining the simplicity and care the Villa brings and what they will do to make you feel like that’s your family member showing and helping you do things and hosting you! I will forever not have the words to explain these miraculous Villa, although the services of the staff truly made that feeling come true. The best way I could describe it, is having a little piece of my Heaven come to reality with my favorite people, no mishaps with a service, everything was taken care of prior or even the day of in the most gentle/respectful manner to make sure the details flowed well with our timeline! What a lovely surprise it is to feel like family in a brand new place!
Trip of a Lifetime
Besides the incredible property and perfect location, the staff and the service were absolutely spectacular, which I think is the real secret sauce of this place. Even my most experienced luxury travel friends were impressed and said PDV was top-tier. As a stressed out and increasingly brain-dead bride, the staff had my back at every turn and thought of every single detail that I missed and even some things didn't think I could ask for. I could mention so many special moments - but one that sticks out was when our wedding party was returning from taking photos at the beach. I was greeted by four staff members who handed me food while they held my wedding dress, hosed the sand off my feet, dried me off, put my shoes back on and cleaned all the debris out of my train in under 2 minutes so I could go back inside for my first dance. I didn't ask for this help - they just knew what I would need in that moment and took care of me. This type of service was constant for all guests through the five days we spend at PDV. By the time we left, the staff felt like family. I heard at least a dozen people say that our wedding was the best they'd ever been to and that they'd come back to PDV for another vacation in the future. The beach near the Villas was gorgeous (the staff set us up with lounge chairs and a bar in a shady spot), the morning breakfasts were excellent with some of the best fruit I've ever had and something new and delicious to try each day. We saw monkeys every day. The Villa rooms and communal spaces were gorgeous. We had a pool party immediately following our reception at Punta de Vista and then several other epic pool parties at Villa La Isla on other days. Our goal was to make once-in-a-lifetime memories with all our favorite people - I think we succeeded beyond my wildest dreams. Thank you so much to all the wonderful people there who made this possible!

Absolutely stunning venue for weddings! We love shooting weddings at Villa Punto de Vista!
In the short time I’ve stayed at the Villa Punto de Vista, I have been exposed to a shockingly breathtaking villa and view, built friendships and have received pure love and care. Aside from the most especially unique design and architecture of the Villa Punto De Vista (which I will go into detail later), I want to start by talking about the people that represent this extraordinary destination. My name is Jenny Chang, and I am the Event Director at Rock N’ Events. I had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to conduct an editorial at Villa Punto De Vista. Throughout the planning journey, my associate, Alice and I have been in the greatest hands with the villa’s travel coordinator, Gloriela. Every logistical planning from my arrival accommodations to my flight plans to the island was carefully guided by our new friend Gloriela, that graciously provided her services out of love and care for my associate and I. The venue is a real treasure. I stayed in Blue Room, that is carefully angled and designed to have the most premier view of the Manuel Antonio. The room was calming and warm, not to mention, grand! A large restroom designed for two, and an open floor-planned shower with a rain shower head. When I woke up the next morning, my heart, literally skipped a beat! The glass windows were filled with the bluest and clearest ocean, greenest trees and the most magnificent view you can ever picture. Every corner of this villa is designed with such detail and perfection. I can see how much detail went into the construction and design of Punto De Vista. It’s no wonder it’s a treasure, and I am the most grateful to have had the opportunity to know of such existence in the world. I’m confident that Villa Punto De Vista will always be on my radar, and I will recommend this special treasure to every client, friend, family, and acquaintance. Thank you, Villa Punto De Vista for introducing me to your world, and for purely, existing!!!
