    Our stay was wonderful. The local host was incredibly welcoming and friendly. She was also very familiar with the area including all the different activities available. The owners were accommodating and the communication was timely, clear, and detailed, which I was grateful for. The Grounds keeper was very friendly as well. I could tell that he was proud of the landscaping and kept the grounds around the property clean and wonderful. And the villa was amazing. It is away from any traffic and so peaceful and very quiet apart for the birds and howler monkeys.

    Such a stunning and peaceful retreat. Attentive and friendly staff. The sunsets were breathtaking. So many birds! Words can’t fully describe the way we felt enveloped in quiet luxury and yet still immersed in the beauty and wonder of the reserve.

    This stunning contemporary villa is sitting on top of a mountain, overlooking the ocean and the jungle. The views are breathtaking. The interior design is perfect for 6 people. Everything was thought out carefully by these owners. The high quality of the finishes, the quality of mattresses, pillows, bedding...I can keep going. Its 1st class. My favorite part is the large infinity pool facing the ocean, the outdoor patio setting is stunning. Lastly, this host will provide enough information for things to do for a full month!! Cant wait for our next trip!

    Oh My - Dolce Far Nienta was truly fabulous !!! Every aspect of this property was 5 Star and was on par with the finest resorts that we’ve paid $1000.00 dollars per night. The way Janet designed and decorated the property to blend in with the natural beauty is amazing. Janet provided us with all the contacts needed for transportation, fishing, sightseeing, and restaurants. Truly A Vacation of a Lifetime and Heaven on Earth.
