I can’t say enough good things about VBO. As a returning visitor, I could see improvements that had been made to the property from the last time I was there and luckily they still have the same wonderful staff. The team there is so warm and welcoming and incredibly efficient!! I can’t wait to go back again! If you’re on the fence, BOOK IT!!

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.

Is the venue open year-round?+

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.
