The Vision

Villa Buena Onda is the fruit of visionaries Casey Halloran and Tony Silva who first met in Costa Rica in the late 1990s. They became fast friends and quickly recognized their combined web and business backgrounds were the perfect components to a dynamite team. In 2000, they created Costa Rican Vacations, an online travel agency dedicated to luxury vacations.

After years of consulting to dozens of businesses and running a successful high-end travel agency, the two longed for more direct control over the hotel and service quality that they were promoting to clients. When the right opportunity came about, they purchased the ideal piece of land for a luxury villa in Playa del Coco, Guanacaste, the heart of Costa Rica’s most popular tourism province. Their team broke ground in March 2007 and the Villa was completed one year later and continues to take advantage of the natural beauty of rolling greenery and sapphire-blue ocean background.
