Villa Caletas
Herradura Beach, Central Pacific
Conde Nast Reader's Choice November 2008
Top 10 Hotel in Central America

A boutique hotel, Villa Caletas is one of the country’s top luxury destinations for romance and relaxation. Designed especially for honeymooning couples, the hotel features a wide range of room and villa options, from standard, well appointed rooms, to lavish one-bedroom villas with private plunge pools and breath-taking ocean views.

Among Villa Caletas outstanding amenities are its infinity pool with a serene sun tanning area, a freeform relaxing pool and surrounding lush vegetation and gardens. Another highly regarded asset in this exceptional boutique hotel is the amphitheatre which overlooks the deep blue waters of the Pacific Ocean and provides a truly unique setting for artistic and musical performances. Jazz bands and local theatre companies perform regularly.

Dining at Villa Caletas is outstanding, and yet another asset for this property. French and Belgian inspired cuisines provide some of the best meals available in the country. Prices are high, and well worth it. The hotel has two restaurants, the open-air El Mirador and the enclosed El Anfiteatro, set in the main building, encased by glass walls, offering a wide angle view of the bay and hills that surround the complex.

The hotel offers a private beach, but be prepared to walk down a hill to get to it.

This romantic gem is highly recommended for couples, especially if you are lucky enough to reserve and enjoy the private villas.
