Beautiful location & high quality

“Stayed here for several evenings. I’m from Chicago, and the quality of the condo we stayed in was comparable to high end units found in the city. The grounds and amenities are great, good location with beach access, staff was accommodating and very responsive.”

Best stay on our trip

“We loved Elan at Ballena beach. The appartment was luxurious and modern. We loved cooking there as the kitchen had everything we needed, which made us feel right at home. The pool is beautiful, but the beach even more so! This is the only property in the area with private beach access, which you notice as there are hardly any people on the beach at all. We did a kayak tour with the lifeguard, which was a lot of fun, and on our last morning at Elan, after boogie boarding, he surprised us with a fresh coconut from one of the many swaying palm trees. All staff on location - incl. security and maintenance staff - were very friendly and helpful. It was our last stop in our travels through Costa Rica and we are so glad we ended it here!”

“Amazing vacation, with amazing service along the way. As a group of 3 couples, it is hard to find a vacation spot that is accommodating to all 3. Not at the Villa 6 Terraces at San MartIn, each room was huge and had an en suite bathroom. The views were absolutely stunning, the private pool made for the perfect after-adventure-plunge (and not to mention great Instagram photos), and the villa had plenty of common space to enjoy. A beautiful toucan living in the tree outside was the icing on the cake! As for the location within the country, we couldn’t have asked for better. The concierge service helped us book all our excursions (free of charge for concierge service) - we went horse back riding through a waterfall, went on a fishing charter and caught amazing fresh tuna and mahi to eat for dinner each night, and we enjoyed the gorgeous private beach at Elan. We couldn’t have asked for a better vacation! I want to give a shout out to our onsite concierge, Vanessa. She was amazing! She answered our call at 5:15 am. She got us all the directions we needed. Answered all our questions! I honestly can say she made our trip seamless and easy! She deserves a raise”

Incredible location right on the beach, plus amazing brand new accommodations

“It is very hard to find accommodations right on the beach down in this amazingly beautiful part of Costa Rica. Even better the apartments are unbelievable, very large and well appointed, with high quality amenities. There are several beautiful pools and a hot tub, (which needs to be hot) a very pleasant place to spend the day. My favorite activity however was the beach, just a short and beautifully shaded walk thru the jungle. This beach is one of the most beautiful in the south of Costa Rica.”

Wow!

“From the moment we arrived the staff was helpful and made sure we were treated like family. The Elan has many amenities to make your vacation the best it could be! The beach has the most marvelous views. We saw a crowd of 50 monkeys come through the trees! Not something you see everyday at all!! The beach was exclusive! Security, Wi-Fi, life guard, tons of amenities! You would barely see anyone but nature! My husband an I walked to the left and found a little restaurant just off the ocean. The pool was just as magical and tranquil!! Highly recommend for families and couples.”

Un Lugar Increible!!

“Todo nos gustó. Es precioso, ubicado perfectamente a dos minutos andando de la playa y la piscina. Las instalaciones son preciosas y de lujo. La playa es preciosa, enorme, virgen, con poquísima gente y mucha naturaleza. Lo mejor de todo es el personal: las dos personas que hacen la limpieza fueron adorables, sobre todo con mis hijas pequeñas, la persona de recepción súper amable, al igual que los guardas de seguridad, el personal de mantenimiento y sobre todo Ariel, el salvavidas, que es de esas personas que hacen “la milla extra” en su trabajo, todos hicieron de nuestra semana en Elan unas vacaciones inolvidables. Es un lugar mágico, tranquilo, bellísimo y además muy seguro. El hecho de que haya salvavidas en la playa es un plus. Volveremos muy pronto de nuevo porque quedamos encantados.”

Amazing Place

“We stayed here for 4 nights with our 2, 6 and 9 year old children. Spacious, immaculate, clean, everything you could need in the kitchen, lovely linen and towels, a home from home. The pool area is fantastic, three pools including a toddler pool, and a hot tub, all in the middle of the jungle. Lovely short walk to the private beach, you can use body boards, surf boards or paddle boards. We saw monkeys, spiders, lizards, praying mantis, toucans, parrots and lots of hermit crabs. We had a medical issue and the Axiom staff were incredibly helpful and really put our minds at rest that we had someone we could call on if we had a problem.”

Lovely Beach Visit

“This is a lovely property to stay in. The proximity to a gorgeous beach is the biggest plus. No, I take that back, the staff is their greatest asset. They are so very helpful and kind. You will feel welcome and well cared for. The unit is new, clean, fairly well equipped and comfortable. My only asks are for some plastic glassware so we could carry a cocktail to the beach to enjoy the sunsets and something to squeeze oranges with for said cocktails. And really, that is all this wonderful location lacked. In truth, had I asked, they would have undoubtably been supplied. The pools are cleaned constantly, there are groundskeepers gathering every errant leaf and tending to the beautiful planting. The wild life is abundant. Howler Monkeys, Toucans, and countless gorgeous birds. Also really huge grasshoppers! You are midway between Uvita and Ojocal which means lots of fabulous restaurants to enjoy. I strongly recommend a trip to Aracari for a sunset and dinner and also lunch at Ballena Bistro. a Go, enjoy, say hi to Vanessa, Jorge and Ariel for us.”
