We had an absolutely amazing time at Villa Estrella. Everyone was so wonderful and helpful. Diego really took special care of us to make sure that everything ran smoothly and was just great. Mich (not sure of spelling) was wonderful too. Everyone was. The home was perfect for us and just beautiful.

Villa Estrella
Central America / Costa Rica / Guanacaste Coast
This all-inclusive villa is located in the exclusive beachside community of Ocotal, in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica, overlooking the Gulf of Papagayo and the Pacific Ocean.
Overview
Villa Estrella is just a few minutes south of the little beach village of Coco and only a 25-minute drive from Liberia International Airport. This gorgeous timeless villa is situated on a private hilltop that rises from the beach of Ocotal and offers breathtaking views of the Pacific to the west and volcanic mountains and jungles to the north, east, and south.
Villa Estrella's outstanding “Five Star” service will start from the moment you begin planning your trip to Costa Rica to the final good-bye at the end of the trip. They are focused on anticipating and responding to your every need.
Villa Estrella aptly deserves its name because, in Spanish, “estrella” means “star” and at Villa Estrella, you will enjoy a truly “Five Star” Costa Rican experience.

- All meals - breakfast, lunch, dinner, poolside afternoon appetizer, snacks and endless fruit bowl
- All beverages - house alcohol open bar for adults, coffee espresso bar, and all non-alcoholic drinks

Dining Options
Villa Estrella's culinary staff will work with you to customize meals that fit your group's preferences. This includes navigating special dietary needs (gluten-free, paleo, vegan, vegetarian, specific allergies, etc.) drink preferences, and special celebrations like birthday cakes.
- Breakfast: Listen to the sounds of parrots and monkeys waking up in the trees while you sip the best in Costa Rican coffee and local tropical juices. You’ll enjoy various egg dishes enhanced with Costa Rican breakfast meats, light spices, and salsas; or enjoy cereals, grains, waffles and pancakes layered with tasty yogurts and local fresh fruit!
- Lunch: Lunches are on the lighter side (as is the case in Costa Rica) giving you a mid-day boost without creating a heavy feeling. Along with re-energizing tropical drinks, you’ll enjoy refreshing Costa Rican fruit and vegetable “ensaladas”; healthy sandwich selections; and of course you’ll have to try our “tico” beans/rice specialty dishes!
- Dinner: Dinner begins in the late afternoon when Chef Alberto serves appetizers by the pool. Enjoy the tastes of ceviche, guacamole, pico de gallo, or homemade cheese straws before showering for dinner. The Villa Estrella dinner experience changes each night to include unique table settings and a three-course meal of a soup/salad, a fresh gourmet entrée, and homemade dessert. Fine dining al fresco with your own chef and a private waiter allows you to enjoy your family and friends.

Reviews
We left Villa Estrella last Thursday morning very unhappy that we couldn’t stay another week. It was absolutely perfect in every respect. The house was lovely, the staff phenomenal and the accommodations extremely comfortable. The meals and snacks were truly gourmet and served beautifully. The only excitement were some spontaneous forest fires which are apparently not uncommon in the dry season but we were never in any danger! Costa Rica is truly a paradise for a family vacation due to the number of activities possible and their proximity. We were all envious of the next arrivals on Friday.
