Roads in this part of the peninsula -- a common conversation piece -- are dirt and gravel with some deep, jarring potholes, which pick up the dust in dry season. Some love it, some do not, but make no mistake, this is one of the area's defining cool characteristics, which might take some getting used to.
Guests will want a 4x4 vehicle, ATV, or bicycle-- all preferred by the locals -- to get around, and there are several activities within easy reach with surfing taking front and center stage. In fact, this is the hottest spot in the country for international surfers, and there are excellent surf schools within a few miles of the hotel, as well as instructors on-site. The town of Santa Teresa with cool bars and restaurants is a five-minute drive away; it attracts good-looking expats from all over the world, all who seem to have been plucked out of a surfer magazine.
Non-surfers need not worry, though, as there are plenty of other activities like snorkeling, diving, and ATV and wildlife tours. For less activity, simply park at one of the wide beaches, take a swim in the warm ocean, and then crack open a beer at sunset while watching the surfers do their thing.
Visitors can arrive via a multitude of ways -- and no one way seems easier than the next. One option is to arrive to Liberia International Airport, rent a vehicle, and make the five-hour drive through a mix of paved and rough roads. Another option perhaps the best one is to take a commuter plane from Liberia or San Jose to the smaller Tambor Airport, and then a minute taxi to the hotel.
Once in town, rent an ATV for the duration of the trip. Other options include a ferry from the main land to Tambor, though ferry times are not always reliable.
Another ferry makes rounds between Jaco and Montezuma, which is a great option if looking to check out a few different parts of the country. Each of the five villas is a standalone building tucked into the tropical landscaping, complete with exotic birds and occasional monkey sightings.
They're located in two areas of the property: one that is accessed next to the parking lot through a pretty walking path, and the other that is down a set of steps next to the restaurant.
Decorated in clean and simple decor, villas have occasional bright pops of color against blue tile floors, wood ceilings, and big windows for natural light. They are equipped with air-conditioners, orthopedic King-sized mattresses topped with Egyptian cotton sheets , futon sofas, empty mini-fridges, and coffeemakers. Outdoor tiled bathrooms have walk-in showers and eco-friendly toiletries. Furnished decks two of them share space and the others are private have views of the hillside and ocean beyond.
The most important feature of the property for guests and locals is the beautiful infinity pool and swim-up pool bar. This beauty has prime positioning with a rounded edge that looks out past the hills towards the ocean where lines of surfers wait their turn.
The pool is quite spectacular especially considering it's a rarity in the area and it is made even more beautiful at sunset when throngs of young, good-looking types come to order drinks and swim out to the edge for selfies.
The pool has a few sun loungers, a palapa day-bed, and a hot tub though this is the same temperature as the pool. The pool bar is open all day for guests, but comes alive in the early afternoon.
Here, bartenders serve frozen coffee drinks, red and white wines, Champagne, and over 30 types of beer, as well as mixed drinks, shots, and fresh juices. The bartenders and owners seem to be in a groove for about two hours working together to get out a vast number of drinks for sunset, perhaps making a round of 12 margaritas at a time.
Every day breakfast included in the rate is served by one of the staff members who works from the open kitchen, also overlooking the ocean view. The main course changes daily, and while the meal is being cooked up, guests help themselves to coffee, tea, fruit, and toast, and then wait for an enormous plate of food to arrive. The private bungalows, open-air restaurant, and infinity pool with an incredible view of the ocean make Vista de Olas a beautiful and inviting place to stay.
We took an ATV tour to a nearby waterfall, went zip lining, rode horses on the beach, and took surfing lessons. Relax In Our Villas. Read More. Each villa aims to perfectly cater to your needs, whether you desire to simply sit back and relax or go out and enjoy nature.

The food was superb as was the gracious and effective service. The owner, Roger really went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of.
Stayed for a week and never wanted to leave. Amazing views and relaxed vibes. The view, pool, and overall settings is drop dead gorgeous. There is nothing like it in Costa Rica. We felt like a part of the family and were treated with the utmost of kindness, friendliness, and respect. The property could not have been more breathtaking, or well-managed. All of the meals were excellent, especially considering that we had them while looking at one of the most beautiful views I have ever seen.
We booked a week in paradise which was both a good idea as the experience was incredible, but also maybe a bad idea because the rest of our trip seemed to never live up to our standards and expectations after spending a week in Vista de Olas!! The owners of the hotel are very kind and always available to help with anything you need. On top of that you have a panoramic swimming pool with an extraordinary view over Santa teresa.
