I have stayed several times at this wonderful hotel. They offer a beautiful location, good food and excellent service. This year, I had to accommodate friends and family for my wedding and wrote an email to Villas Gaia. They took care of the rest for a very reasonable price. Thanks to the excellent service of Villas Gaia all my guests... more

We have lived in Costa Rica for 2 1/2 years and travel around the country frequently - we found Villas Gaia the perfect getaway for anyone. We opted to stay in a villa on top of the hill near the pool and could not have been happier. We have friends with disabilities who could easily stay in one of the... more

This was the third place that we stayed in in Costa Rica. Staff were all lovely, so were the people we met there. There's a 'loyalty beer bar' which is handy. Decent sized pool - think the place is best suited to families with children. Directions given out for the beach didn't seem to lead us(or anyone else we spoke... more

I've traveled extensively throughout the years in Costa Rica and when I found Villas Gaia, I decided I had found paradise. It is unsurpassed in quality in every way. The location, ambiance, graciousness of staff and attention to the environment will guarantee the continued success of this fine establishment. I would recommend Villas Gaia to single, adventure-minded travelers, honeymooners, and... more

I was hesitant to stay here after reading some of the negative reviews here on Trip Advisor. However, I'm very glad we chose Villas Gaia. It is an extremely mellow place to relax. The property is thoughtfully decorated with amazing landscaping. Our casita was clean and peaceful. Ask for one of the four casitas near the pool as they are... more

Villas Gaia is a great place for winding down. The casitas are spacious and tastefully decorated. The gardens of the property are great and contain many species of birds as well as white-throated capuchin monkeys and sloths. The beautiful pool area with ocean views is great for the kids, and the bar in the pool area has an honor system... more

Nice hotel with 12 seperate casita's in pleasant garden setting. 8 casita's have airconditioning (+ $10). A few are larger (2 bedrooms) and have Ocean view (+$20-$30 p.n.). The hotel is owned by a Dutch woman. She lives in San Jose but passes along regularly. Birds, Monkeys, Frogs, Iguana's: you will all see them from your own patio. Gardens are... more

Based on the reviews of TripAdvisor, we decided to book Hotel Villas Gaia. We stayed two nights. The grounds were beautiful, and the pool overlooked the ocean. We found the accomodations to be quite spacious, that was the big advantage. I think this place may be great for families on a budget. For us, it felt just like summer camp.... more

Hotel Villas Gaia was a fine place to stay for the price. With a little upkeep I think it would have met my expectations. But it is apparent that the facility has suffered from neglect (pool area and rooms). Hopefully this will change. The rooms are decent size for the price, the restaurant provides a nice setting (although too close... more
