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

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

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".

Wonderful!

Rented the Villa Paraiso and it was fantastic. Olmer, the concierge, helped us get everything organized and checked on us each day. Great recommendations and services. 
The views from the house were incredible and everything worked as it should. 

Views and Service were great

We've been planning a trip to Costa Rica for a couple of years, lots of research and toured several parts of the country; Dominical was our favorite and we LOVED our villa #31.   GORGEOUS views, clean, a.c. worked here (unlike another villa where they confirmed it had a.c. but it didn't work).  

We were on the top ridge of the gated community with an undeveloped valley behind us and lots of trees beside us where the white faced monkeys came through.  We had howlers monkeys next door as well although they were loud neighbors!  Boys loved the refreshing pool after days at the beach.  Good restaurants, Porqueno was 5 minutes away and we ate there three times.  Costa Rica has been our favorite family trip and we only wished we had spent all three weeks here.

Simply AMAZING views, BEST stay of our 3 week vacation!

My husband and I rented Villa #31 for five weeks during January and February 2015. The villa is very comfortable and had everything we needed for our vacation. The private pool was the icing on the cake!  I loved the maid service and all the help from Alex and Ignacio to make our stay enjoyable. 
The owners gave us lots of helpful advice about the area that we used in planning our day trips and even made sure we had good Costa Rica coffee and hand made soaps to use. 
It is truly a beautiful property in a wonderful country and we hope to return one day.
