This merchant has provided a horrible service. First of all, the policy in booking.com and in the merchant's web site says I will not be charged until few days before the start of reservation which in my case was in July 2023. However, I was charged the full amount at the time of making the reservation. I made reservation in March, cancelled in April 4 and as of May 15 I have not received the refund. The policy clearly stated no penalties at all for cancellations until near reservation time. I contacted merchant by phone to no avail. Was told to deal with booking since I made reservation there. Merchant's agent was very dismissive and completely of no help.  I disputed the charge in my Amex and later merchant sent documentation that refund has been submitted (and paid) to bank of costa rica account!  I do not even have a single account in Costa Rica. I never gave them any other information except for my Amex account #. It is ridiculous the lack of attention and disregard this merchant has shown. 


Horrble place to deal with for reservations 

These people took our money pre-Covid, and provided no services.  No refund provided.  Ignacio wasn’t responsive and when he finally did respond then offered to allow us to pay them again.  Seriously!!?? Do yourself a favor and find another property — it looks beautiful, but these people aren’t very nice or very professional.

Villa Paraiso: Stay Away.  Poor ownership and management

The Villas by Tekoa are located above Dominicanatobeach with a wonderful view of the Pacific Ocean. There are several rooms with showers and toilets, and there is also a well-equipped kitchen, Internet, Netflix, AC, washing machine and dryer. The area is guarded 24 hours a day by a security guard. The rooms are clean and well-equipped and are located in a typical Costa Rican garden landscape.

This is the case in the United Kingdom.

We stayed in villa 25 and during the last night, we were robbed of the vehicle's motorcycle jacket, the most annoying thing was the little support we received from the guards and the person in charge of the villa.

Poor experience

Came back to our villa after a mangrove tour and dinner to find that our laptops and cash were stolen from the villa. We had locked all doors and put valuables out of sight. We learned that although we had locked all doors, 2 sliding glass inserts in the door have a design flaw and are unlockable. They open despite locking the door. Today, a worker is trying to find a solution for this.  Unfortunately according to the concierge, there has been a number of robberies lately. These villas are up a hill and a bit isolated. Also, unfortunately there is no safe on the property and we were not advised of any crime. So disappointing - wasting the day with police and workmen and do not feel safe at all. I recommend staying somewhere where they are straightforward about the crime in this area rather than ignoring it and not addressing the lack of security such as unlockable doors. Stay somewhere more concerned about safety.

Burglarized - completely unsafe property

To get to the place it is preferable to take a 4x4 car for your convenience. It is very close to the beaches and the Nauyaca Waterfalls. The villas are very beautiful, comfortable, with excellent decoration. They are very peaceful, there is no sound of the neighbors, only of the howling monkeys to awaken that makes you feel more like in the jungle. We stayed in Canto del Mar, which although it did not have a swimming pool, you could appreciate wonderful views. We prefer not to drink water from the grill, as it is not totally drinkable by personal experience. The owner was very kind and listened carefully to our suggestions at the end of the stay. Despite the minimal inconveniences, we hope to return soon.

A visit to the placentera.

We stayed at Casa Capung and it was just so AMAZING! Olmer was our concierge and he was so friendly and helpful! He made our stay so special! I would definitely recommend this place !! Lovely lovely lovely !!! Thank You Olmer !!

Vacation !!

We had an amazing stay at Villas by Tekoa.  The villa was breathtaking- an architectural marvel- and the service was unsurpassed.  We had our own private concierge named Olmer that helped prior to, during and even after our stay when we had travel challenges.  He pre-shopped for us (a must with kids) provided guidance on compatibility and scheduled all of our activities, made dinner reservations, helped us navigate, checked in on us regularly, disposed of critters, managed household issues and even helped us with a flat tire!  Honestly Olmer was the best part of our vacation. If you want to enjoy the spectacular, adventurous beauty of Costa Rica without having to think too much on vacation, stay with Villas by Tekoa and use Olmer.  He takes care of everything.  You won’t be sorry.

Fabulous experience with Villas by Tekoa!

This review is for the Flying Monkey Villa only, which is “managed” by Villas by Tekoa.  STAY AWAY from the Flying Monkey! We had no potable water for our entire stay, but nobody bothered to tell us it wasn’t potable so we got sick on the first day of our stay. We then only had intermittent water of any kind for the last four days of our stay, and it was often brown and disgusting, and only came on late in the evenings and/or early morning. The owners are very dishonest and unethical — we were promised in writing that we’d get a refund for every day we were without water, which was 4 days (setting aside the potable water problem). We only asked for 3 days, but were only refunded 2 days. The owners then lied to HomeAway about what transpired, and HomeAway refused to help us. The owners are liars, the property management company, Villas by Tekoa, stinks, and HomeAway’s guarantees are worthless. Really awful people all around.  Note that this was NOT booked through TripAdvisor, which we love.

NO POTABLE WATER, NO RUNNING WATER, NO REFUND AS PROMISED

Our stay at Canto del Mar was a real pleasure.  Our condo had an awesome view of Dominicalito beach and the bird and animal life we saw from our condo was wonderful, especially the fiery-billed aracari.  Best of all was the way we were welcomed and cared for by Olmer and Ignacio.  They gave us great service, even helping us get groceries and showing us a bit of sight seeing.  They truly exhibit the motto of Costa Rica, that of "Pura Vida".
