The Central Pacific, seen from above
At Villa Caletas, the Pacific view is part of the occasion. High on a jungle-covered hillside, the resort looks across the ocean and surrounding rainforest, giving a Central Pacific stay a distinctly elevated perspective. The infinity-edge pool puts that panorama beside an afternoon swim; balconies and terraces in selected accommodations invite you to enjoy it more privately.
Tropical and colonial character
Villas and suites blend tropical and colonial influences, with spacious living areas and modern comforts. Outdoor spaces and outlooks differ by category, so choose the accommodation for the features you will most enjoy. Unpack, step outside when your room has a balcony or terrace, and give the hillside setting a little attention of its own.
Keep time for the resort
Gourmet dining combines international flavors with local ingredients, giving you a reason to stay for a meal as well as the view. Spa time changes the pace again: massages, facials and body wraps offer a quieter interlude between excursions. Attentive, personalized service supports that balance of exploring and enjoying the resort itself.
The beach below the hillside
At the base of the property, El Pelicano Beach Bar serves snacks and refreshing drinks beside a secluded beach. It is a different way to experience Villa Caletas’ coast, with the water closer and the hilltop panorama waiting above. Although the property is oceanfront, the hotel is not within walking distance of the beach. A complimentary shuttle runs hourly to and from it, so build the beach visit around that connection.
The surrounding region offers canopy tours, beach horseback riding, national parks and wildlife reserves. Snorkeling, scuba diving and sailing bring the ocean into active days, while nearby Jacó adds surfing and nightlife. Coastal towns offer another opportunity to explore the region’s culture rather than keep the whole vacation within one property.
Villa Caletas is appealing when a coastal trip can include a beach visit without requiring a hotel room directly on the sand. Explore, spend time below at El Pelicano, then return to the hillside. Leave yourself an afternoon for the pool and an evening over dinner, with the Pacific making the return worth savoring.
