2BR Condo in Manuel Antonio

Krishnawatie

Excellent, 2 months ago

Huge apartment, nice place. Waking up to the roar of monkeys and the cacophony of birds. In the middle of the jungle and yet in a village. Amazing! Not equipped for 4 people; 3 chairs inside. 2 chairs outside. Toilet in bathroom. Manageable for 2 people. You really need a 4x4 car to get there.

Such a lovely apartment ❤️🤗. The apartment is quite big, spacious, and beautiful just as shown in the pictures. The ACs work amazingly along with the big ceiling fans, within an hour at arrival the apartment was fresh. The mattresses were very comfortable, and the bed clothes were extremely clean. The bathroom is beautiful. The kitchen is fully equipped, we were able to make breakfast and dinner. You can park your car outside. Yes, the road to get to the house is very steep, so it is difficult to walk, but the car goes up easily. It’s only 10-15 min away from Manuel Antonio National Park, and 5-10 minutes away from downtown where you can find stores, pharmacies, supermarkets, and so on.

The apartment is beautiful. You can hear a lot from the upstairs apartment; luckily, we got quiet tenants. Getting there is a challenge. A car is a must, and if it's a 4x4, even better!

Thanks for the review - we have a regular 4 door Honda civic we get up there just fine …. Thanks so much for staying with us and we look forward to hosting again ! Thanks 😊

Overall, our stay was okay. Communication with the host was very fast, easy, and friendly. We really appreciated the helpful tips she sent us in advance. The location is good, right between Manuel Antonio and Quepos. However, having a car is highly recommended, as it makes getting around much easier. When we arrived, the room was unfortunately not ready, even though we had been told it would be. We waited about an hour while it was being cleaned. The cleanliness could be improved: some used cleaning items and a bath mat were left behind, the bed linens were not neatly made, there was a musty smell in the apartment, and the kitchen and floor did not seem fully cleaned. The beds were also very squeaky — even small movements made noticeable noise, which was uncomfortable, especially when sharing the bed. With some improvements in cleanliness and the beds, the stay would be much more pleasant. Otherwise, everything was okay.

Loved our stay! The accommodation perfectly matches the photos, it is very large and bright and the view from the balcony is beautiful! The air conditioning in the different rooms allows the accommodation to be comfortable even in very hot weather. The accommodation is located a few minutes from a small market, beaches and restaurants. Heather had given us very good recommendations of places to visit in the area, we visited most of them and loved it. Finally Heather accommodated us for the day of departure and we are very grateful to her! We are very privileged to have had a host like Heather! Thank you!

After a last-minute decision to go to Costa Rica, we booked Heather’s place the same day we arrived. She was very quick to respond with instructions on getting into the place and local recommendations in the area. The apartment was very spacious and the air conditioning was great to come back to after a hot day on the beach. Definitely recommend this place and would definitely stay there again.

Ahhh thanks 😊 guys I am so happy you enjoyed your time here and I hope you come back this way for another adventure!

We had wonderful experience during our stay. The house was very clean and beautiful. In fact most of the times it wouldn't match the photos listed but this place exceeded our expectations. Heather was friendly and very proactive in giving out lot of tour recommendations and near by restaurants, groceries. Very detailed instructions and prompt response. Very close to the bus stop and convenient for traveling. I recommend and will definitely pick this place if I am coming back again.
