Allie Sent on 01/05/2024A wedding week that everyone keeps talking about!
Planning a wedding in a country you have never been to, at a venue you will not be able to visit in advance is hard. The owner of the villa David, was incredibly helpful and responsive right from the start. I ended up using a wedding planner, Luna Weddings, that the villa had not used before and David was very supportive. During the planning process, I had to make many last minute changes and the villa staff was always ready to help. My family & friends do not like long car rides and were very nervous about getting to the villa from the SJO airport. The shuttle the villa booked for us was very nice and gave everyone enough room to stretch out. We ended up stopping at a restaurant that was on the ocean about half way to the villa making the drive not bad at all! David told us about the little hopper flight we could take from SJO to MA instead of driving so once we got to the villa we decided to look into that more. On the way back, 6 of my guests ended up chartering a private flight back to SJO that Jossue and Diego (villa staff) helped to coordinate the day before we left. Again service was 10/10.
When we arrived at the villa we got the warmest welcome we could have imagined. All of the staff immediately came out to our car, with giant smiles on their faces, gave us drinks and took our bags to each of our rooms. My wedding week at Villa Punto de Vista was better than I could have imagined. The Villa was incredibly clean, well stocked and beautiful inside and out. The staff was like nothing I had experienced before. The staff was never in the way but was ALWAYS right there when we needed something and often predicted what we needed before we even did.
We spent our mornings watching the sun rise from the beautiful views in our rooms, then made out way to breakfast on the 4th floor (10/10 food at the villa) and watched as monkeys swung by on the trees. We went to the beach for the afternoon where the villa staff brought us down snacks, drinks, chairs, and towels without us even asking. We even saw a few sloths in the trees! At night we had a catered meal from WOW catering. We hired them 3 different nights and each night we were blown away by how great the food was.
One afternoon we all went zip lining which was really fun for everyone. We had planned to rent ATV's another day but ended up cancelling because everyone was still amazed by how great the villa was and wanted to hangout around there more.
If you are wondering if the villa is as great as the pictures show. Believe me it is. Not only that but the staff is there to help with ANYTHING. Fearful about planning a wedding abroad? No problem because if you run into any bumps while there, the staff at Villa Punto de Vista can fix anything (: My family is still talking about our wedding and how they want to rent the villa again, just for a family vacation!! -

Ardrena Sent on 04/21/2025A Dream Vacation in Paradise. A 10/10 Experience at Vill Punto Vista!
Punta Vista Villa is pure paradise! Stunning views, luxurious rooms, and top-notch service made our stay unforgettable. The staff went above and beyond — from gourmet breakfasts to beach setups with drinks & shade. Monkeys, sloths, and toucans added jungle magic. David, the owner, was incredibly attentive. Every detail was perfection. Our group didn’t want to leave and we’re already planning to return. Truly the best vacation experience we’ve ever had! -

Neal Sent on 01/26/2025A great place for a destination wedding
Outstanding 5-star property, outstanding staff, good location. We attended villa with 7 other retired couples for a week of sightseeing, activities, and socialization. The layout provides very comfortable rooms for each couple--all with great views. Architecture and artwork are all high end. We especially liked the central dining and outdoor deck and infinity pool layout which served as our primary social area. Wildlife--monkeys, birds, sloths, etc. were frequently within reach. On-site staff were available 24 hrs a day and I can't say enough about how they made the stay enjoyable and relaxing (Harold, Eric, Xavier, et al). Breakfast each day was always a treat, replete with a variety of fresh fruits and standard fare of eggs, bacon, sausages, pancakes, etc. We arranged four in-house dinners and, frankly, these were the best meals we had.
The location of the villa is very good--close to many activities such as waterfall hikes, zip lining, beach, sailing, and fishing. Very private with breathtaking views. The beach is scenic and within a 15-minute walk. Staff is happy to drive you down to beach and set up loungers and umbrellas. Very scenic. The surf is OK wading or swimming, but not as nice as Caicos or Destin. It should be noted that the villa is a 3-hour drive from San Jose airport on sometimes difficult roads. But once you are at the villa, getting around is fine.

Tammy Sent on 01/26/2025Costa rica luxury villa
Our stay at Punto de Vista (Villa la Isla) in January 2025 was a wonderful experience for our friends group of 16. The villa was clean and well maintained. Every aspect of our stay was perfectly performed by a well trained, professional, and courteous staff! From the pre-arrival concierge support, which seamlessly facilitated the pre-arrival trip planning, to the on-site villa staff that flawlessly executed every detail of our stay, the overall experience was truly exceptional!!! If your stay at Punto de Vista is anything like our experience, rest assured you are in for a luxury experience of a lifetime!

Dianne Sent on 01/03/2025Perfection
Villa Punto de Vista was bar none the most incredible place I have ever visited. We hosted our daughter’s wedding at the Villa in December 2024. The venue is beautiful with each room having its own decorative style. The dining area on the fourth floor had amazing views, and monkeys were all around us during the fantastic complimentary breakfast. We hosted a Welcome Taco Party in this spaceon our first evening catered by WOW, the venue’s recommended chef. We had a few people with special dietary needs and they accommodated each and every person. It was perfect in every way. The owner and concierge also recommended wedding planners they have worked with in the past. The pre arrival concierge assisted in all the transportation needs getting to and from the villa. They prestocked the venue with food and alcohol so we could begin relaxing upon arrival and booked excursions for the guests. The on-site staff (though by the time we left they were more like friends) was there to meet our every need. My husband became ill the day before the wedding and needed to go to the clinic for fluids and medication. The staff assisted us in every way possible. They called the doctor to the venue, assisted with the transportation to the clinic, picked us up many hours later and then drove me to the rehearsal dinner which was off site. Without their help, my husband would not have been able to walk our daughter down the aisle the next day. Perfection is difficult to put into words, but I sincerely hope this encourages you to visit Villa Punta de Vista! -

Olivia Sent on 12/31/2024Our Dream Wedding Venue!
We can't speak more highly of Villa Punta de Vista. We rented out both villas for our wedding and had 18 of our friends and family stay here for 4 nights in May.
Everything from start to finish was 5 stars:
The Staff is world class - our initial welcome to the villas was so special. Our private staff was waiting outside with huge smiles on their faces to welcome us with champagne and cold towels. They immediately set us up with a group Whatsapp so if there was anything we needed at any time we could just send a quick text and our needs would be met. They also do a great job of keeping all of the rooms clean and even if we left for just an hour or two we would come back and our towels were changed and room was tidied. Everyone had great energy and were very helpful. They work really hard to make sure your experience is stellar.
The Villas - this place is more beautiful than the photos. You have an ocean view from just about everywhere you look, the pools and common areas are amazing, and there is wildlife all around the property (we saw monkeys, sloths, iguanas, toucans, etc.) It's really special we had this place all to ourselves and we are really happy we booked both villas.
The rooftop (where we had our ceremony) - the photos of this room is what made me want to have our wedding here and I'm so glad we did. It truly is the most beautiful backdrop of the ocean while still being covered and not having to get sandy (no worries if it rains).
The food - highly recommend hiring their private chefs for a few meals. It was so nice just showing up and having our meals prepared for us. The food was delicious!
I would 11/10 recommend PDV for your wedding! -

Deirdre Sent on 12/18/2024Paradise in Costa Rica for Destination Wedding
This property is an absolute paradise in Costa Rica. Our son and daughter in law chose it for their destination wedding, and everything was spectacular. From the lovely rooms, luxurious bedding, unbelievable views from all rooms, a staff that was lovely, kind, and extremely responsive to our needs, and the food and fresh juices were delicious. We also got to know the gentle monkeys in the area, and they were soooo tame. And last but not least, the beach, a short walk, or the staff drove all who wanted, and picked us up when requested, and they brought beach chairs, towels, drinks and always smiles. THis is by far the most beautiful stay i have had, and the experience is like being in a beautiful friends home, not a hotel.... We will absolutely be back, and tell all our friends!!!! -

Joanna Sent on 04/05/2024A magical wedding in a tropical paradise
We just came back from our wedding at Villa Punto de Vista, and it was the most magical experience of my life. The staff is absolutely amazing here, taking care of every possible need you could have. Huge shout-out to Diego, Jossue, and Harold, our main concierges, for making everything perfect from day one. We arrived to the staff greeting us with cold towels (perfect after the long ride from the airport), and a bottle of champagne chilling in the master bedroom for my fiancé and I. The night of our wedding, the soaking tub in our room was beautifully decorated with rose petals when we came back from the reception. Everyone here is one step ahead of you, anticipating exactly how to give you the most perfect experience you'll never forget.
The views from this property are absolutely unbelievable. Pictures honestly do not do it justice. Every morning you're greeted by monkeys and a delicious breakfast overlooking the ocean. The pool is always the perfect temperature, and the bedsheets are absolutely to-die-for. The beach is a quick ride down the hill, with more wildlife and a luxurious ocean experience waiting for you.
More props to Gloriela and Ivonne, the pre-arrival concierges, who helped plan multiple extracurricular activities and excursions for our group prior to arriving. Everything was smooth and organized, with excellent communication.
I don't know when, but we'll definitely be back. Quepos and Manuel Antonio are gorgeous and have a ton of activities perfect for the tropical location. If you're questioning whether you should book this place, wonder no more - just do it! -

Misty Sent on 02/10/2024Dreamy! A once in a lifetime experience!
From the. moment we arrived we were waited on hand and foot with the most friendly staff. The property was impeccable with the most spectacular views of the Manuel Antonio beaches. The staff went above and beyond for our group, who at times could be a bit much. The host went above and beyond to make all of us happy. Thank you to the staff for not only giving us 5 star service but for also making us laugh. Thank you Francisco, Jackson, Harold, Eric and David. -

Patrick Sent on 09/30/2023Amazing venue, amazing staff
When we were greeted with introduction mimosas, I knew it was going to be good. The only comment I will make is to consider booking a local flight to get to the venue, it's rather inexpensive and quite easy to get to the local airport rather than booking a car. Though the hotel will certainly help with the booking. -

Taylor Sent on 09/29/2023Where the jungle meets the sea, a magical estate in Costa Rica
Villa Punto de Vista was the perfect choice for our wedding week. Nestled in the jungle, it seamlessly meets the ocean, creating a breathtaking backdrop for our special day. The staff, without a doubt, deserves a five-star rating. Every meal was a culinary delight, and the drinks were consistently refreshing. Our guests were pampered, and the attention to detail in logistics made our experience stress-free.
From the comfortable beds to the warm showers, the villa provided all the comforts of home in the midst of the wild. Speaking of wildlife, the presence of exotic creatures added a touch of magic to our stay. Villa Punto de Vista holds a very special place in our hearts, as it was the perfect setting for the beginning of our journey together as a married couple. -

Jody Sent on 09/29/2023Amazing!
Our stay and wedding at the Villa Punto de Vista was amazing. The villa was breathtaking and exceeded every expectation. Each guest room was cozy, yet up to date, with stunning views. The open kitchen leading to the infinity pool was so much fun. We were able to enjoy all of the wildlife while swimming and relaxing. The staff was so kind and accommodating, going above and beyond for us. The owner David called to check in upon arrival to make sure we had everything we needed. Those personalized touches were just so appreciated. We could not have had a better experience. We will definitely be back!! -

Anne Sent on 07/26/2023Luxury Stay, Memorable Moments!
Our recent stay at Villa Punto de Vista was an absolute delight! From the moment we stepped into the lobby to the time we reluctantly checked out, the staff's warm hospitality and the top-notch service left us with an unforgettable experience.
The Villa's ambiance exuded a perfect blend of modern luxury and a homely vibe, making it an ideal destination for friends and family alike. The well-appointed rooms were spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed, providing the utmost comfort for all of us. Not to mention the breathtaking views from the windows that added an extra touch of magic to our stay.
The real gem of our experience was the attentive and friendly staff. They went above and beyond to ensure our needs were met, whether it was arranging extra towels, suggesting local attractions, or catering to dietary preferences.
Each interaction was filled with genuine warmth and a sincere desire to make our stay exceptional. -

Alexander Sent on 03/31/2023Magnificent property for a truly magical event
Everything was beyond perfect. Every view, room, and feature completely breathtaking. Each day was better than the next. All of our guests were in awe and jaws were dropped with every corner turned. The staff was absolutely incredible and we’ve never felt better taken care of. And most importantly, all of our friends and family remarked on it being amongst the best experiences of their lives. Many tears were shed at checkout as we were sad it had to end, but so very happy it happened.

Kelsey Sent on 10/05/2022Felt Like Leaving Home!
Our week stay and wedding hosted at Villa La Isla (the 8BR villa at Punto de Vista) was absolutely unforgettable. During the booking and lead up to our stay David and his concierge were very clear, responsive, professional, and kind. We had never visited Manuel Antonio before arriving on the first day of our stay. From the moment we arrived, villa staff were there to greet us and make sure our stay was nothing short of perfect! We could go on and on about how great our stay was - but what it boils down to was the quality of every element of the villa/amenities/staff. Some of our favorite elements were the STAFF (who felt like family by the end), being so close to local wildlife (sloths and monkeys every morning) and terrain (incredible views), the pool, the breakfast (fresh fruit and coffee etc.), the architecture of the villa are unique and mindful, the beds/bedding were INCREDIBLY comfortable, the outdoor showers (we showered with a sloth 10 feet from our faces in a nearby tree!), the way every space facilitates socializing (everyone always had a place to sit/float)... SO MUCH MORE! Our stay was truly one of a kind and we would highly recommend. -

Monica Sent on 07/19/2022INCREDIBLE, amazing, and perfect in every way!!
Words will never be able to capture just how grateful we are to have found Villa Punto de Vista & Villa La Isla for our 50-person destination wedding. The owner David & the entire PDV team were so amazing and easy to work with every step of the way. Even when we had to postpone our wedding by a year due to COVID, David & his team went above and beyond to make our destination wedding dreams a reality.
From our pre-arrival experience with your concierges, to our beautiful wedding & reception, and 4-night stay at Villa Punto de Vista and Villa la Isla, everything was absolutely AMAZING and felt like such a dream come true!!! It was SO worth having to wait the extra year and I would go through all the pandemic stress all over again in order to have this wedding and trip of a lifetime that we feel so blessed to have experienced.
There were probably a dozen plus times throughout our stay where I shed tears of joy and disbelief during our stay. I was honestly so blown away by every last aspect of the villas and of course, the OUTSTANDING 5-star service. Over the years, my husband and I have stayed at some amazing 5-star properties around the world, and nowhere comes even close to the incredible staff at Punto de Vista & Villa la Isla and the level of high quality service we received there. The staff was without a doubt one of the top highlights of our entire visit and we hope they felt our sincere gratitude and thanks.
I feel 10000000000000% confident in recommending PDV to anyone and everyone. It was truly one of the most incredible places we've ever stayed at and we all had the absolute best time of our lives. I HIGHLY, highly, highly recommend Villa Punto de Vista and their connecting sister property, Villa la Isla to ANYONE in search of the perfect tropical destination wedding venue with built in accommodations (the villas are also perfect for large family reunions, group yoga retreats, and so much more).
Our family and friends had the entire property to ourselves for 4 nights and we were all blown away by every single aspect of our stay — from the breathtaking ocean and jungle views, to the stunning rooms, to the out-of-this-world staff, and of course the DELICIOUS Costa Rican breakfasts served daily — it was honestly perfect in ways I can't even put into words and I couldn't be more grateful to have stumbled across this hidden gem. Villa Punto de Vista went above and beyond to help bring our vision to life and create a trip for us that we will never forget. I will cherish the memories we made there for the rest of my life and hope we'll be able to return one day! All of our friends and family are still raving about the trip and are begging us to plan a 5 or 10 year reunion so we can all go back...hopefully we can make it happen one day.
PS. If you want to check it out, you can find our wedding video by searching “Monica the Medium & Tyler Scott’s Wedding Video” on YouTube (I remember how helpful videos were when looking at venues…photos just don’t it justice!) -

Natalie Sent on 06/25/2022Our Dream Wedding!
I can’t say enough about PDV & La Isla. I found this wedding venue on wedding wire and we went to go visit in person before booking. It is even more beautiful in person and such a peaceful and unique venue. It was so nice to have our families & friends stay with us at the villas and everyone bonded & had the trip of a lifetime. The staff is beyond amazing. We could not have asked for a more professional, kind, accommodating, genuine group of staff members that we would give more than 5 stars if we could. Our wedding planner was Karen from Tropical Occasions and she was the most amazing wedding planner & we are so glad that we went with her. From organizing flights/rides, to amazing decor, last minute changes, she had us feeling like our wedding was celebrity status. She has lived in Costa Rica for a long time and has planned countless weddings here and is so knowledgeable of the venue and the area. Our photography was Sylvia Guardia & Destination Wedding Stories and our photos came out beautifully. Still waiting for our videos but we are confident we’ll love them. We chose Wow Catering and they tweaked the menu to exactly what we wanted. Was the best wedding food we’ve tasted to date. You won’t regret having a wedding here, it was all a dream ❤️ -

How many adjectives are there for superb? Not enough characters allowed in this review to describe the experience. Ritz Carlton should take notes from this place. Truly one of the most blessed experiences I have ever had. From the time you get there until the time you leave...when you get home it won't feel like home anymore and you will wish you were back. Thank you to David and all of the wonderful people that made our +15 group have such a memorable time. Seriously...nightly food by a chef, service that knows what you want before you do, live music at dinner if you wish, a view that pictures will never do justice, and the rooms and common areas of the villa will make you wonder what you did wrong in life not to wake up to them every morning. I have been blessed with the opportunity to travel many places in my time so far and this one will be impossible to beat. Again, thank you to all of those that made my engagement one that will always be one of my favorite memories. -

Jose Sent on 12/29/2021No words for this Villa!
I recently attended a wedding at this villa, and there are seriously no words. This property should be on everyone's bucket list, especially for an event like a wedding or family or friends reunion. The Villas were designed with everyting "entertaining" in mind. The modern, luxurious architectural design of the building is stunning and in the middle of the jungle and overlooking the pacific ocean. I woke up to an ocean view every day, opened my balcony, and could hear the waves crashing as well as see toucans and monkeys in the tree's. The heated pool overlooking the ocean was surreal. The service was incredible throughout the stay, we had private chef's that were spectacular throughout the entire stay. (Quite literally the best food of my life. Congratulations to Mikey of Chef Wow) The Villa had a private Chef breakfast and Bartenders as well as concierges to help us with anything we needed. They even set up a beach bbq for us right on the sand within a matter of minutes. Most importantly, the wedding was stunning. The ceremony was held on the top floor overlooking the ocean and the romantic outdoor dining experience reception was on the outdoor deck. I know our friends were beyond excstatic with how everything turned out! Without a doubt the most luxurious wedding experience I have attended! -

Art P. Sent on 11/23/2021Villa Punto de Vista is the premiere place to go in Costa Rica!
We stayed for 9 wonderful days at the Villa Punto de Vista in Manuel Antonio, Cost Rica. It was an amazing time! The facility is fabulous! The views are breath taking! The staff is so very friendly, helpful, accommodating and dedicated to insuring you have a fabulous stay. It was one of the most relaxing and rewarding vacations that I have ever had. The monkeys were a lot of fun as they tried to steal sugar in the mornings. It was also great to be able to see several species of monkeys up close around the villa. We also had a couple of sloths that were hanging around and great to watch. The tours that were arranged for us were fantastic. We had a great time on the beach and the staff brought chairs, towels, and refreshments for us so all we had to do was go to the beach in our suits! We had a scrumptious picnic on the beach with delicious Costa Rican food. Luis and Jossue were fantastic hosts who insured our every need was met and then some. We will go back some time in the future. Punto de Vista is a premier resort, and you can’t go wrong staying there. -

Heather Sent on 06/15/2021A dream come true!
My husband and I found Villa Punta de Vista/Villa la Isla after doing a quick search for Villas in Costa Rica. Villa la Isla was still in the process of being built when we booked our stay/wedding for April 2020. When the pandemic hit we were forced the reschedule our wedding 3 times. Thankfully David and everyone at Villa Punto de Vista were very accommodating and allowed us to reschedule every time the travel ban was extended. It was obviously very stressful and upsetting planning a wedding during a global pandemic but man did it pay off when we finally stepped foot on the property. Pictures just can’t do it justice. The Villa is stunning and the staff bring it to another level. You have to experience it’s beauty in person. It was truly like living in a fairy tail. The views from the infinity pool are breath taking. Watching monkeys and sloths while eating a fresh cooked breakfast in the open air every morning can’t be beat. Diego and Luise will make sure your stay is perfect. Whenever you need they will make it happen. They are some of the friendliest and nicest people you will ever meet. The villa is high tech, safe and insanely clean. We had some family who were skeptical and scared before arriving but there world was changed. Ironically the Villa is naturally covid proof. Plenty of space with all common spaces being open air. Just you and your party living in Paradise.
Villa la Isla gave us and our family an experience of a life time and the wedding of our dreams. I have traveled to 22 countries and have taken luxury and non luxury vacations. Villa la island is number one on my list. -

I recently had my wedding here at villa punto de vista and I cannot say enough amazing things about it! I reserved both villas for myself and my family for my wedding and everyone had the time of their lives. The staff is so attentive and friendly. They were such genuine and kind people! They made sure that every single person who stayed felt as if they were royalty ! The villa itself is breathtaking with one of the most spectacular views of the ocean and rain forest. We saw monkeys and sloths and parrots just staying at the villa ! It is equipped with everything you might ever need and the staff is so attentive and amazing ! I personally would like to go back to see nico, josue, Jackson, Rosa, and everyone else. Trust me when I say I regret not remember all their names because everyone of them made my experience so special and I’ll never forget it. Would recommend villa punto de vista to anyone and I can’t wait to go back ! -

Villa Punto de vista made our dream wedding a reality! Words can not describe how perfect the villa was. From the moment we arrived, the luxury experience began! We rented both villas for four days to host all our friends and family. Everyone talks about how magical that weekend was to this day! The staff is world-class!
