Place was very clean and nice, but that’s about it. Hot water didn’t work so we took cold showers. Asked one guy and told him what room we were in and he said he’d let them know. Never got fixed. Water for the toilet ran at all times. I tried to fix it because I was still waiting on them to fix the shower but that didn’t happen, so I gave up and just let it run. I’ve been going there for years to the pool and pool bar and never had an issue. I had read some reviews about bad service but I didn’t think it would be that bad. I was wrong, it was horrible. The dining was not good, food quality or service. I wasn’t even going to leave any kind of review until I finally had enough today. My wife went to the pool bar to order us some drinks and no staff was there. Waited 10 mins and still nothing, so she went upstairs to the bar by the restaurant. The bartender told her he’d be down there in a few. 22 minutes later, still no bartender. Went back upstairs to order drinks, and she finally came down with a beer that was barely chilled, was more warm than chilled. So I went upstairs and the other bartender was apologetic but at that point I wasn’t happy. It’s frustrating paying a premium at what seems like the nicest place in Jaco area and have that bad of food, service, etc. I will never again go there and I've been going there since 2017. Sad to see such a nice place be such a disappointment.

The Villa Caletes is one of my favorite places. The setting and views are amazing. The hotel is exquisite- with architecture matching some of the most luxury inns in the world. It does not disappoint in this regards. I was somewhat disappointed with the bed this time. I could feel and hear the springs. I will be back for the view but might stay elsewhere.
