After traveling on a dirt road with rocks, I arrived at the property, expecting it to be a resort and spar. I’m an older gentleman and they showed me my Accommodations and there was no air conditioning or television, and I walk with the brace and there were a lot of steps to walk up and down. I went to a beverage and salad.

I wouldn’t recommend to stay here, most because the management is very unethical and overcharge you on everything, give inaccurate prices starting from their hotel menu to their booking activities, spas or transport. They charge triple the price for what it is, just be caution and double check everything you order from there, and always ask to see prices on the menu, they make stuff up. But really just recommend to avoid this place. The view from the property itself is beautiful and the only thing that made the stay manageable.

Getting to this resort was incredibly difficult - if you’re traveling here, going through San Ramon is the ‘easier’ way but it’s scary. The resort is incredibly remote - more remote than I was expecting. It also looked to be run down and very little comforts for such a secluded place. Shortly after arriving, we were told by a couple that they had frequent visitors to dinner in the form of scorpions and tarantulas, and that each meal is pretty similar to the last. That gets old after a couple days. We ended up checking out an hour or so after checking in - it wasn’t what we were expecting and we didn’t feel like we’d be comfortable there for our stay. The host, Byron, was very sweet and kind, and very understanding.

Thank you!! Incredible views, staff and overall experience. The location is phenomenal -- surrounded by the mountains, looking out onto the jungle and the Pacific Ocean. Tip: regardless of where you are coming from, be sure to drive up the San Ramon side of Route 742 (there are portion that are unpaved on this route, but this is the very best option to get there). And once you arrive, so amazing and well worth the drive -- from the delicious fresh food, attentive staff, restorative activities (e.g., yoga, sound healing, forest bathing), and don't forget the spa, and so much more. I plan to come back again and highly recommend if you are looking for a magical experience!

Loved the quiet off the beaten track area & the amazing view, but would be nice if they had shuttle service to town so those that didn’t have a car could get to the market. Spa & yoga are unreasonably expensive. First nite was greeted by a large tarantula in the dining area which kept trying to come back. No one kills them just moves them away. Apparently we were visiting in Tarantula season... good to know! Grounds are lovely!

Wish we could have stayed longer

This place is really amazing, just beautiful. From the accommodations to the food and the view. Every detail was thought of to maximize on the beautiful setting. My only recommendation would be to make sure that you arrive before dark as the drive to the hotel is on a sometimes unpaved and unlit mountain road. Also, and this is very important, take the 742 from San Ramon rather than the other entrance.

Vida mountain resort was beautiful peaceful, great facilities with a view to die for we arrived late at night and was greeted by Eric who could not be more helpful, and was for the rest of our stay as were all the staff. We woke up in the morning and as the mist disappeared it left the most amazing view. Lazed in the great pool and jacuzzi and don’t miss the fantastic breakfast or lunch for that matter. Can’t recommend vida more highly

Un Hotel con excelente ubicación y en excelente estado, el personal muy atento y colaborador en todo. Si deben mejorar un poco en el servicio de coctelería y restaurante ya que los precios son altos, pero lo ofrecido no se acopla a lo cobrado. A pesar de esto es un lugar al que espero volver y definitivamente recomendaría
