Vista Del Valle Plantation Inn, Resort Style Living at Home!
Vista del Valle | Pool
Considered a boutique hotel, it is a very small community comprised of just 8 condos, 10 cottages, and 6 lots for sale. The lots for sale start at $75 per square meter and come equipped with water, electricity, and septic systems.
Some of the residents live here year round while others just vacation. Being that it’s a resort, it has all of the amenities of resort style living. This includes, a gated community with 24hr security, reception center with friendly English/Spanish speaking staff, gift shop, resource center with up to date information about the area (I even spotted a 2009 version of “Costa Rica for Dummies”), pool, jacuzzi, equestrian center, endless walking trails, a creek walk, a 350 foot waterfall with a ladder that spans from the base to the top of the falls, gardens and a greenhouse (with a state of the art vertical growing system) chock full of fresh herbs and vegetables, and a popular pool side bar; The Banana Bar. The bar has a covered patio which overlooks a canopied gorge where a river that flows from the waterfall slowly winds through. The residents say if you hang a banana (hence the name) from a particular tree near the bar monkeys will come to eat, providing a very intimate encounter with them!
In addition to laundry and housekeeping services, they also provide chauffeuring and personal shopping services to all of their residents and guests. The owners envision being able to provide every service imaginable so that residents never have to leave!
The restaurant serves food made to order throughout the day and is willing to make anything you can dream up! Simply speak to the chef, who is easy to find, in the open aired kitchen. Here you can even watch your meals being prepared. Further, the food is fresh; 60% of the food grown on the property is used in the restaurant, while the other 40% given to the neighboring local families. The residents are also raising chickens and rabbits and have a tilapia pond, all of which are used in the restaurant. This is the start of, what the residents hope to be, a sustainable community.

Sounds interesting? Stop by the restaurant around 6pm when all of the residents gather for a drink and eat dinner together. Look out upon the canopied hills that seem to reach into the clouds, watch the hawks carelessly gliding above the canopy, smell the aromatic flowers, and listen to the gentle song of the crickets. Just relax, chat with your neighbor, take in the simple beauty and feel at home…
