Villa Tres Niñas

This hilltop hotel looks out over the fabulous South Pacific landscape. On a trip to this Puntarenas getaway you’ll want to plan your trip around getting the most out of the outdoors. Nearby parks offer plenty of opportunity to see amazing specimens of marine wildlife.

Head to nearby Uvita Beach for swimming and kayaking in relatively calm waters. Visitors go to Marino Ballena National Park for the chance to see sea turtles in the wild — they come ashore to lay eggs from May to October. Take a whale-watching trip if you’re here between December and April, when humpback whales appear near the shore. This area is also habitat for a variety of fish, making it an ideal destination for sport fishing tours.

Villa Tres Niñas has three bedrooms and offers copious space for 6 guests. The kitchen and dining room area have floor-to-ceiling windows that let in lots of natural light and lovely views. There’s air conditioning in the bedrooms and living areas, but you may find that opening a few windows creates a fresh, springy atmosphere. In the kitchen, you’ll find all the equipment you need to make a meal.

The house comes with three bathrooms. The bedroom on the lower floor has its own outdoor shower. From the bedrooms on the upper floor, you can step out onto the casa’s balcony for a view of the Pacific. In the backyard you’ll have private access to a small pool with a sundeck overlooking the rolling hills.
