Nice review, many thanks to Libby and Nelson

I cannot say enough about the experience you will have if you make arrangements to stay at Pico Bonitos villas. The physical surroundings are truly stunning, The resort itself is large and meandering ,with grounds that will literally take your breath away, They are luxuriant and exotic.
,On the grounds you will find bouganvillea, coral hibiscus, red hibiscus, angels trumpet, spider lillies, birds of paradise, cheinille plants, massive groves of ten foot gingers, dripping drooping heliconias, roses, orchids.,poinsettas, bananas, coconuts... and this is just a sample..... all with lovely handmade stone walkways and bridges that you can explore it, while tiny and massive orange, flourescent blue, yellow and white butterlies float by..massive bees work and humming birdsthe size of robins dip into flowers with huge curved breaks, ..as toucans and ibis and oropendola cruise by....The property is littered l with outdoor streams and waterholes, has two lovely pools of tilapia and tortugas, all beautifully cared for and lovingly kept up.
This is all tucked between velvety green peaks with a gorgeous river tumbling by marked with black rocks the size of volkswagons and houses and across from a truly stunning roaring regal mesmerizing waterfall.
Within walking distance are two rafting companies, two grill style restaurants, a charming village with friendly locals, an exciting walking suspension bridge, rain forest walking trails in a protected national forest, a. yoga retreat with daily sessions, and a canopy zip line.

But it is the villas themselves that are truly inspiring, They range in style, content, and age,some thatched, but all are set in the rainforest with gorgeous views. We recommend staying in one with a river view or pool view. . It is truly amazing to see the fireworks nightly as the fireflies flit... and listening to the nightly roar of the frogs crickets and night noises..
Some of the villas have lovelly wooden floors, walls and doors, with gorgeous light fixtures and finishing materials, they are commodious, comfortable and spotlessly clean, and they have beautiful and charming local artistic touches........a miniature perfectly formed wooden canoe on the deck table, gorgeous handmade coverlets and curtains and wall hangings featuring local birds, animals and scenes, all made made by a locals you will meet while staying at the resort.
What really makes this resort special is the hosts, who are unfailingly pleasant, helpful and tolerant. Richard brought over books in our interest areas, let us watch a local documentary movie at his house, offered us rides into town, gave us a ride to dinner, gave us his computer to use endlessly.. in short was incredibly generous, interesting, thoughtful and fun... Ana is gracious and elegant, she has a well behaved six year old, Mildred, and there is a local dog who is immense and adorable, named Lucy.
The other staff who work here are responsive, helpful, and thoughtful

I think i may have had the best day in my entire life here yesterday. If you never leave the property you will be totally charmed and endlessly entertained. The swimming pool is an architectual digest quality infinity pool, overlooking a blooming jacaranda tree in full violet bloom.
I have traveled extensively and this is the best place i have ever been in my life. . .
