Fantastic Family Vacation!

Stayed Jun 2026
Leslea
I hope I can come up with enough adjectives to correctly describe how amazing and wonderful our stay was.

Everything was over the top fabulous! We had 23 people in our group ranging in ages from 2 1/2 to 60's. From the very beginning all the vacation planning was easy - from making our reservation with Fernado and pre-vacation planning (including activities) with Valerie.. to checking out.

The house itself was absolutely beautiful. The view was incredible and the house was gorgeous. We had plenty of space - each gorgeous bedroom had a beautiful bathroom. Every inch was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool so much as well as the game room and the movie room. We opted for the meal plan and let me tell you... these were restaurant quality, delicious meals. We all looked forward to breakfast and dinner! Our chef was Esteban and he was amazing. He made sure he was cooking food everyone liked and will work with any dietary restrictions etc... David was our host. What an incredible person! He took care of our every little need. We seriously felt like royalty! We had so much fun at all the activities we went on. We loved the monkeys that were near our house and they entertained us on a few mornings.

I cannot say enough good things about our stay! Everyone in my family wants to come back again and all 23 of us highly recommend you stay here for a beautiful and fun Costa Rican vacation. Thanks so much to everyone at Saltwater Haven!

This is our third time booking with Escape Villas in the past 5 years. We absolutely love these properties! This is our first time staying at Saltwater Haven and we were blown away with this property. The view are incredible and there really is not a bad room!! Each floor has it's own uniqueness. You will also be blown away with the staff! We have booked a few times and requested Junior, Janet, and Ricardo. Junior and Janet are absolutely incredible!!! The dishes they create are so beautiful and delicious. Ricardo is an incredible bartender and person! We always had a drink in our hand and they were always delicious and fresh. David was our host and he did a great job with helping us navigate our plans and needs. As always, Valerie and Fernando really helped us get this trip together and planned. We are always so thankful for the two of them when coordinating our plans prior to arrival. You truly will NOT be disappointed and I can almost guarantee, you'll be back! PURA VIDA.
