Reviews of Villa Buena Onda

“Visited from Australia for a wedding at Villa Buena recently and couldn’t have been happier. The facilities for large groups, large open spaces and no near any other villas made us feel like it was just us and the rainforest.”

Questions about the venue

Where a number is our estimate, we say so.

How far is the resort from San José and international flights?
Approximately 260 km (160 miles) northwest. Daniel Oduber International Airport (LIB) in Liberia is the closest major hub, about 90 minutes by road.
Can we accommodate guests with dietary restrictions?
Yes. The on-site kitchen works with the resort team to handle vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergy requirements. Notify the venue during booking.
Do we need a legal marriage license to marry here?
Costa Rica recognizes civil unions and marriages; couples need a notarized marriage license from their home country and Costa Rican legal documentation. The venue can connect you with a local attorney familiar with international marriages.
