A Parent’s Perspective on Family Stays at Villa Punto de Vista
When it comes to family vacations, finding a balance between luxury, relaxation, and kid-friendly experiences can feel like a tall order. But at Villa Punto de Vista, nestled between Costa Rica’s lush rainforest and stunning coastline, the experience becomes a perfect blend of serenity and adventure. At Villa Punto de Vista, we understand the unique needs of families traveling with children because we’ve been there, too.
As villa owners with children of our own, we know how important it is for a vacation to be enjoyable, safe, and filled with unforgettable moments. Our goal is to create an environment where families can relax and reconnect, knowing that every detail is covered for both parents and children alike.
We recently caught up with Alyssa and Jeremy Boyd, who stayed at the villa in September 2024 with their 18-month-old daughter, Charlotte. They shared that their experience was nothing short of magical, and today, we’re excited to highlight some of the unforgettable memories and thoughts they shared with us.
Q: How did Villa Punto de Vista compare to other luxury family vacations you’ve taken in the past?
A: Since Charlotte was born, we’ve stayed at several luxury villas, but Villa Punto de Vista truly stands out. They take it to the next level, anticipating every need and detail.
This allowed us to actually relax without constantly thinking of the next item on a checklist for our daughter.
From seamless transportation, grocery shopping, and activity planning to laundry services and thoughtful sleeping accommodations, Villa Punto de Vista had everything covered. This level of care and preparation made our stay remarkably enjoyable and stress-free.
Plus, they put us in the room closest to the common areas to ensure the monitor worked for us, and we were in close proximity during naptime and bedtime, which was a thoughtful touch upon arrival.
Q: How did the villa’s location—nestled between the rainforest and the sea—enhance your family’s vacation?
A: The villa’s location enhanced our family’s vacation by immersing us in the most incredible natural surroundings. We were constantly meeting wildlife, including monkeys and sloths, which was pretty unforgettable. My daughter, at just 18 months old, had the chance to learn more about the jungle firsthand, and she even picked up some new words and imitations during our stay. It was an amazing way for her to connect with nature at such a young age!
Q: How did the private nature of the villa contribute to your family’s sense of safety and relaxation?
A: The private, secluded nature of Villa Punto de Vista, combined with its attentive staff, contributed immensely to our sense of safety and relaxation. The villa’s location felt secure and peaceful, allowing us to fully unwind without any concerns.
From the moment we arrived, I never once questioned the safety of the area, which let us immerse ourselves fully in the experience.
The exclusivity meant fewer distractions, and the personalized service allowed us to enjoy every moment together as a family, knowing the staff was there to handle everything in the background. This thoughtful balance of privacy and care made it feel like our own private paradise!
Q: What were your kids’ favorite activities at the villa or in the surrounding area?
A: The Villa Punto de Vista staff crafted an unforgettable beach experience for us and Charlotte. Picture this: Lounge chairs nestled under trees overlooking the ocean, umbrellas anchored in the sand for shade, and an array of beach toys and sports gear—everything a child could dream of, with ample sand for our little girl to run and play. Beyond the fantastic setup, they arranged a private bartender and a beautiful tablescape for us and our friends to enjoy lunch and drinks, creating a relaxing and joyful atmosphere as we watched the beaming smile on our daughter’s face. We’re pretty sure she used every single one of the million toys they had set up during the day, which kept her entertained for hours – a hard thing to do sometimes. Truly incredible!
Q: Were there any special moments that helped your children connect with nature or the surrounding wildlife?
A: Charlotte learned what sound monkeys make because of all the monkeys that come to visit each day at Villa Punto de Vista. It was such a special moment for us to teach our daughter animal sounds in the middle of the jungle where nature and human life intertwine! Every morning, she’d be sitting at breakfast, peeking over her shoulder, seeing if they were scurrying by on the pool deck. When she would spot one, her face would light up, and she’d greet them with the cutest “ooh ooh ahh ahh” of her own.
Q: How did the Villa staff assist in making your stay as a parent more relaxing?
A: The Villa staff went above and beyond to make our stay as parents more relaxing. They were incredibly attentive and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed for our little one, from setting up a crib that was way nicer than anywhere we’ve stayed before – her mattress rivaled our own – to accommodating our meal preferences and timing. Their attention to detail allowed us to truly unwind, knowing our family was well taken care of.
Having such caring staff was a relief, which made our vacation even more enjoyable!
Q: Would you return to Villa Punto de Vista for another family vacation, and if so, what would you look forward to the most?
A: Yes, absolutely. Villa Punto de Vista has a special place in our hearts, and we hope to have the opportunity to return to it again and again. The staff and owners make you feel like family from arrival to departure. It truly was one of the most amazing trips we have ever taken, and we cannot wait to spread the word.
