Vista Bahia Beach Resort

At the heart of the enchanting Gulf of Papagayo, Vista Bahia Beach Resort commands attention as a statement property where lush, verdant surroundings meld seamlessly with the unparalleled beauty of Costa Rica's coastline. Upon entering, guests are greeted by an ambiance steeped in tranquility; the lobby, adorned with locally sourced art and tasteful design elements, sets the stage for an immersive experience that emphasizes harmony with nature. The overall aesthetic exudes a refined contemporary opulence underscored by the sounds of lapping waves and soft breezes. Beyond the lobby, the spacious suites serve as personal retreats, featuring both a living area and private balcony, where ocean views inspire repose while sipping coffee brewed in your own kitchenette. Dining at the on-site restaurant is a culinary journey, showcasing the best of both Peruvian and Mediterranean cuisine, while the funky bar beckons for casual evenings filled with exotic cocktails and laughter beneath moonlit skies.

Explore the Local Area

The resort is wedged in an ideal location, merely 25 minutes from Liberia International Airport and just 20 kilometers from liberating excursions throughout the region. Adventure seekers can explore nearby landmarks such as Playa Hermosa, a mere 2.5 km away, or Playa Nacascolo, just 4.5 km down the coastline. The nearby Rincón de la Vieja National Park provides an hour's drive into a realm of biodiversity and stunning volcanic landscapes. Activities such as snorkeling, diving, and fishing await eager guests right off the nearby shores, creating the perfect opportunity for thrilling exploration after soaking up the sun on pristine beaches or indulging in spa treatments within the resort. The flora and fauna of Guanacaste further enrich the experience, serving as a backdrop for travelers seeking both relaxation and adventure.

Room Information

Vista Bahia Beach Resort features a total of 32 beautifully designed air-conditioned accommodations, all equipped with modern amenities including private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, complimentary Wi-Fi, and spacious terraces that invite the warm coastal breezes in. Suites offer additional living space, featuring a charming seating area complete with a sofa, while every room reflects the lush nature and ocean views characteristic of the locale.

Room Upgrades

For those seeking more spacious accommodations, the upgraded suites range from 480 to 600 sq ft, offering expansive living areas and enhanced ocean views. Each suite includes upgraded components such as a larger living room, premium cable TV, and expanded terrace spaces, accommodating families or groups of up to four with ease. These upgrades capture not only a sense of space, but also an elevated experience, setting the stage for memorable stays.

“The resort's location is undeniably appealing, and the spacious suites, though inconsistent in amenities, offer a comfortable base. However, the need for general refurbishment and more reliable service should be considered; if those elements are secondary to a quiet, nature-filled setting, this hotel is still worth a look.”
