Perfect relaxing stay
Posted 30 Mar 2023 on HotelsFabulous, relaxing stay. Beautiful room with our own rooftop terrace with sun beds and comfy sofas for a relaxing pre dinner drink. Breakfast was excellent. We also had an evening meal which was also excellent. Probably our best meal of our three week stay in Costa Rica. Marc was the perfect host not intrusive but there when ever you needed anything. Perfect way to end our trip

This was one of the most beautiful, clean, and peaceful environments we have ever stayed in. Marc was personable, accommodating, and truly made our stay one of the most memorable parts of the trip. A friend and I stayed here for Envision Festival and did not realize it was a 30-minute drive to and from the festival. Marc drove us all the way into Uvita himself one of the days and set up a driver for us who would take us in the morning and pick us up late at night (2 AM sometimes) to get us home safely.
Marc served us breakfast and coffee himself every morning and always asked about our day. When we would return to the villa at night we were welcomed home with peaceful music and automatic lights that would turn on to guide us up to our room - where we found our bed made, clothes folded, and towels replenished every day.
The property itself is stunningly beautiful. Rafael and Marc truly poured their creative and tasteful style into this jungle oasis and it shows through every detail.
There was construction happening on the property while we were there, but it did not interrupt our stay at all, and it seems like it's going to be a great addition! We are excited to come back and would highly recommend Vayu Retreat Villas to anyone looking for a quiet oasis in Costa Rica!

We had a wonderful stay here! The owners went out of their way to make us feel welcomed and comfortable (during rainy season) and also helped us with booking our next tour destination. Food was excellent, try the avocado toast! We slept so comfortably on the softest sheets in an ambient lit room and the private balcony was great for extra relaxation. I would not stay anywhere else when visiting this area again!

Trevligt och lugnt litet ställe
Posted 7 Jan 2024 on HotelsLugnt och avslappnande. Väldigt sköna sängar! Vackert inrett.
Lite problem med termostaten till duschen som antingen ville bli väldigt varm eller helt kall.
Marc och Rafael är fantastiskt gästvänliga, serviceinriktade, hjälpsamma och trevliga.
