My husband and I recently had the pleasure of being among the first guests to stay at the new River Villa in Portasol, an award-winning eco-development on the southern Pacific coast, and we loved it! If you are looking for a blend of contemporary luxury and deep connection with nature, this is it. Nestled in the lush coastal rainforest, the villa overlooks the crystal-clear Portalón River. The villa is stunning—spacious, modern, and impeccably designed. We spent hours on the expansive main balcony just listening to the soothing sounds of the crystal-clear Portalon River bubbling right below us. Inside, the villa has everything you could need: a full kitchen, fast fiber-optic Wi-Fi, smart TVs, cooling A/C, two spacious bedrooms with king-sized beds, and two full bathrooms. Each bedroom has its own balcony. One bedroom can even be closed off as a private apartment with its own entrance, kitchenette, and balcony, making it ideal for couples or friends traveling together. The villa was exceptionally clean and felt incredibly peaceful, private, and comfortable—exactly the kind of place where you can truly disconnect and recharge. The Portasol development itself is magical. It feels very secure (gated with 24/7 security), and we loved hiking the trails to the waterfalls and river pools. It is a bird watcher's paradise! We found the staff to be very attentive. For all that you get, the River Villa is a steal in price! Location-wise, it’s ideal. You are hidden away in the rainforest but only 10 minutes from the beautiful, uncrowded beaches of Playa Matapalo and Playa Linda. We highly recommend dining at "La Langosta Feliz" nearby for incredible fresh seafood. Dominical is only 20 minutes away for dining and activities. Important Tip: You definitely need a 4x4 vehicle to get drive in the eco-development, but it is absolutely worth it for the privacy and views. We can’t wait to return!

Stayed for one week. On the upside it was away from people and somewhat remote. There was a beautiful small pool which was river fed, clean and cool. The staff was amazing, especially Diego. Breakfasts were excellent. On the downside there was no AC, it is in the jungle so it cooled down at night, but still a bit warm for me sleeping. The wifi was basically useless, the road up is very rough, especially the last 100 yards, which was steep and really bad for our rental car. Close to Playa Matapalo which was the nicest beach in the area imho.
