Guest access Entire house, private pool, free parking Other things to note We are surrounded by the rainforest, which guarantees daily wildlife visits including monkeys, iguanas, tropical birds like toucans and macaws, but also bugs are common. All windows are screened, but every now and then a few manage to make their way in, so if bugs ir geckos are not for you or any of your group members, Costa Rica may not be the right destination for you. Do not leave fruit or eggs out, as the monkeys can get in and they can make big disasters! Always clean up after using the kitchen, even just a few bread crumbs will attract ants to come in the house.

Had a lovely stay at Villa Mot Mot! The house was very spacious, clean, well appointed, and the fresh fruit on the table was a nice surprise. each bedroom had air-conditioning and the beds were comfy. Having a washer dryer available was also very handy for our family. Julio checked in with us during the stay to make sure everything was as it should be. It was just our family and we had more than enough room, but there is also a long driveway and parking area if more were staying here. While relaxing in the pool, we saw all kinds of birds around. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would love to stay again!

Thank you for staying with us Jean! We're so happy to hear you and your family enjoyed Villa Mot Mot and everything it has to offer. It was a pleasure hosting you. Pura vida ;)

Amazing stay and such a convenient location. Would not hesitate to book again if ever in Quepos. Great for a group and comfortable fit for 8 people. Super secure as well. Pura Vida.

Villa Mot Mot was much more than we expected. The photos don't do it justice! The house is nice, with all the amenities you need, and Julio was available at all times. We will return!

Villa Mot Mot fue mucho más de lo que esperamos, las fotos no le hacen justicia! La casa es linda, con todas las comodidades que necesitas y Julio estuvo pendiente en todo momento. Volveremos!

We are definitely looking forward to seeing you again ;) Thank you very much, Damaris!

The house was nice and very big. We saw monkeys, toucans, hummingbirds and other animals from the balcony and pool area. There are a lot of exterior doors (at least 6) including a bedroom with a sliding door right out to the pool deck, this was not a problem for our family but something to know if you’re traveling with small children. The pool was nice and although other houses were nearby it still felt private and in the middle of the jungle. The team was quick to respond to questions and was very helpful.

Thank you so much for your kind review Lcy! It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back in the future. Pura Vida!

Villa Mot Mot was a perfect holiday getaway at the edge of local town and the jungle. You felt very close to the nature and not too far from local services. Close to restaurants and mini-supermarkets. The private waterfall was unic and special. The steep elevation changes were introduced to us as new to Costa Rica, but that is nothing special in this area. We got used to it in no time. I can recommend. The monkeys were cute.

Petri, thanks a lot for your kind review. We hope to host you gain in the future. Pura vida :)

This is a stunning property in a stunning location! So awesome here! Pros: Beautiful rainforest surroundings with awesome wildlife (toucans, macaws, and a monkey all seen from our pool) Great pool, with shallower small pool for kids Felt private despite being close to one other property Gated security Large indoor space Great bathrooms Strong air conditioners in each room 5 minute walk to bus stop, making it cheap and easy to get to Manuel Antonio Fresh fruit on the table is a welcome treat Cons: Locks on sliding glass doors felt insecure

Thank you so much for your kind review Nathaniel! We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the home, the wildlife, and the beautiful rainforest surroundings. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate your feedback. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable stay in the future! Pura Vida

Genuinely the coolest place I've ever stayed. Went with a few friends from college and had so much fun. The house is incredible and was located perfectly for viewing wildlife. Highly recommend !

Thank you, Evey!! We are very happy to hear you and your friends had such a great time and enjoyed the wildlife and the house. It was a pleasure hosting you all!

Excellent service, the accommodation has everything you need.

A very nice and comfortable house. Julio was always available.

Muy bonita casa y cómoda, julio siempre al pendiente

Thank you so much for your comment, Rosa. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the house and found it comfortable for your stay. We also appreciate your kind words about the service and communication during our stay. It was a pleasure to welcome you and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Pura Vida! 🌿

Awesome place! Incredible nature! Would definitely come back :) something important is that if you drive a manual transmission and have a small engine (like my car), your driving skills should be on point.

We’re so glad you enjoyed the nature and your stay. And yes—great tip about the drive, it can be a bit of an adventure 😊 We’d love to host you again anytime! Thanks Ariel!

We had a wonderful stay! We visited with 2 adults and 3 teenagers. We were welcomed with fresh flowers and fresh fruit, which we need after our long drive down from La Fortuna. The place was impeccably clean and very spacious for the 5 of us. the kids LOVED the pool (as did we) and it was conveniently located a quick drive from Manuel Antonio National Park and easy to get downtown walking or driving. Gated with someone at gate all hours. We felt safe and comfortable for our entire stay. There was someone who came to clean the pool every morning, and we saw lots of monkeys from our balcony. Quiet neighbors, plentiful wildlife. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Quepos!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay, the pool, and the wildlife. It would be a pleasure to host you again

Great layout with separate living spaces and bedrooms upstairs and downstairs.  Resort-like amenities and service with the benefits of a separate home.  Enjoyed the wildlife including monkeys, toucans; macaws, frogs, and iguanas.   Well-stocked kitchen, relaxing pool area, comfortable beds.

Thank you for your kind review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the layout, amenities, and wildlife. It would be a pleasure to host you again at Villa Mot Mot!

Villa Mot Mot was a true gem! Myself, my brother, my husband and my two kids had the most enjoyable week. Julio is amazing and responsive and provided tons of local recommendations for us. The layout of the bedrooms was great. The pool was amazing and we spent so much time on the porch, the hammock swing, and the pool. The Airbnb was very well located to both Quepos and Manuel Antonio. Would definitely recommend this property!!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your family had such an enjoyable stay at Villa Mot Mot. It’s great to know you loved the layout, the pool, and the location—and we’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Julio! We would love to host you again anytime. Pura Vida

Thank you for your review, Joe. We’re glad to hear you had a great stay and enjoyed the convenient location. It was a pleasure hosting you at Villa Mot Mot, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. Pura Vida 🌿

We had a wonderful stay at Villa MotMot! The location was very convenient, and the pool was lovely and relaxing. The villa itself is spacious, with beautiful high ceilings. It was perfect for our party of 7 people. We even had some fun visitors like monkeys, iguanas, and colorful macaw parrots 🦜 that made the experience truly memorable. We did encounter a small issue at the house, but it was addressed quickly and efficiently by the host. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a mix of comfort, nature, and a fun group getaway!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Anna. We’re very happy to hear that Villa Mot Mot was a great fit for your group and that you enjoyed the spacious layout, high ceilings, and relaxing pool. It’s always special when guests get to experience the wildlife as well — monkeys, iguanas, and macaws definitely make the stay unforgettable. We also appreciate your understanding regarding the small issue and are glad it was resolved quickly. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Pura Vida 🌿

Thank you! Would love to have you back anytime 😊

Great location and a beautiful big Vila in the jungle, close to Manuel Antonio beach. Many restaurants options in the area. The Vila is beautiful, big, comfortable, clean with an amazing view. We will definitely use this location again.

Thank you so much for your kind review, Tasha. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the villa, the jungle surroundings, and the convenient location near Manuel Antonio and its many great restaurants. It’s wonderful to know you found the home spacious, comfortable, and clean, and that you enjoyed the beautiful views. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would love to welcome you back again in the future. Pura Vida 🌿

Mot Mot! We loved the Mot Mot Villa! It was the perfect location between Manuel Antonio and Quepos—within walking distance to the local town and conveniently close to the bus stop. The gated community is a beautiful hidden gem! The home had so much character and personality! I’d like to call it home away from home. Home sweet home. I loved the warm clue-blue color and the tiki-like interior design. It had everything we needed, including a hammock, pool, large showers, cozy beds, and was spacious enough to fit our family of six so comfortably. The office managers were very accommodating in organizing transportation and were informative, answering all our questions and providing top-notch recommendations. We saw more wildlife visitors on the porch and surrounding areas than we did on our tour at the national park! It wasn’t buggy at all, as long as we followed the easy, simple rules. We loved it so much—it exceeded our expectations! Thank you so much! We will miss Lola; she was the c

Felicia and family, it was truly a pleasure getting to know you. We are so happy to hear this. Glad the villa felt like a home and that the location worked out so well, walking to town and being close to everything is always a win. Awesome that the space fit your crew comfortably and all the little touches hit the mark. Really happy everything just came together nicely. Thanks so much for staying with us, pura vida always 🤙

Amazing Place! The host always answered when I needed him! Recommend this place to anyone!

Kayla thank you so much for being so responsive and kind as well. You are great guests. It was a pleasure hosting you ❤️👌

pictures do not do this place Justice it is 10 times better. if you are going to this area and need a large house this is the place for you I promise.

Wow… this makes us so happy to read! that’s the best compliment we can receive. We’re really glad you enjoyed your stay and felt the house was the right fit for your time in the area.

Muchas gracias Adriana, nos alegra que les haya gustado el apartamento, los esperamos de regreso pronto ;) 👌

The place is very well located, clean, and spacious. It’s equipped with everything you need. The pool is bigger than it looks. You do need an SUV or a pickup truck, as the road is steep and on a hill. Communication with the host was friendly until the very end. After check-out, one of the poolside towels was reported missing. I suggested he check the pool area and let me know, but he never followed up. I believe he found it, as we did not take it. In any case, the towels were clean but old, and we would never take them, we would rather buy new ones.

The accommodation is surrounded by nature, in a very quiet complex of houses. The house is super comfortable and tidy. Everything was amazing. Highly recommended

El Alojamiento está rodeado de naturaleza, en un complejo de casas muy tranquilo. La casa súper cómoda y ordenada. Todo estaba increíble. Super recomendable

Mil gracias por su comentario!😊 Nos alegra mucho saber que tuvieron una buena experiencia. Será un gusto recibirlos nuevamente cuando lo deseen. ¡Pura vida!

Everything was excellent, a beautiful place!

Muchas gracias Fernanda, bienvenida de nuevo cuando gustes ;)

Thank you very much for your lovely feedback! We’re so glad to hear you had such a positive experience. Your kind words truly mean a lot to our team. We’d be delighted to host you again anytime!

We were delighted with the place, everything was very nice and the service from the staff was very good. If you like nature, animals, insects, etc. This place is excellent. The facilities are very comfortable. We're leaving with a very nice experience of this place!

Quedamos encantados con el lugar, todo muy bonito y la atención por el personal estuvo muy bien. Si te gusta la naturaleza, los animales, insectos, etc. Este lugar es excelente. Las instalaciones muy cómodas. Nos vamos con una experiencia muy bonita de este lugar!

Very nice accommodation, nicely located close to restaurants etc. But still the feeling of being in the middle of the jungle. The monkeys, macaws and toucans all came by our cottage. Had good contact with the owner, responded quickly and was very helpful when the wifi did not work. It was made quickly.

Erg mooi verblijf, mooi dichtbij restaurants enz gelegen. Maar toch het gevoel midden in de jungel te zitten. De aapjes, ara's en toekans kwamen allemaal langs bij ons huisje. Fijn contact met de eigenaar gehad, reageerde snel enwbas erg behulpzaam toen de wifi het niet deed. Het was snel gemaakt.

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed the location and the overall experience. It was a pleasure assisting you during your stay. You’re always welcome back anytime!

Gracias por tu comentario. Nos alegra que hayas disfrutado tu tiempo en Villa Mot Mot y esperamos verte nuevamente muy pronto.

Great place with very, very good amenities and location. Price-performance ratio was absolutely given. Particularly noteworthy are the "in-house" monkeys and iguanas.

Tolle Unterkunft mit sehr , sehr guter Ausstattung und Lage. Preis - Leistungsverhältnis war absolut gegeben. Besonders hervorzuheben sind auch die " hauseigenen " Affen und Leguane.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the amenities and location of Villa Mot Mot. It’s always a joy to know the monkeys and iguanas added a special touch to your stay. We would love to welcome you back anytime!

¡Muchas gracias por tu comentario! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste de la ubicación de Villa Mot Mot. Será un placer recibirte de nuevo en el futuro.

Beautiful house! We loved the surrounding area, and the gated community made us feel very safe. The monkeys were a little frightening at night. We also had a monkey breakin that was not a big deal, but we just left it alone until we checked out.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re so glad you loved the house and the beautiful surroundings. The monkeys are definitely part of the jungle experience — curious little neighbors! We appreciate your understanding and calm approach during the visit, and we hope to welcome you back to Villa Mot Mot again soon.

The whole experience was great . The surroundings were spectacular. The house was very comfortable and fit right in the jungle.the host was very attentive and responsive

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Villa Mot Mot and loved the jungle surroundings. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate your kind words. You’re always welcome back anytime!

If you wanna get to feel at home, but at the same time, enjoy the jungle and experience the scenery of Costa Rica and a close distance to the beach. This is definitely the place to stay. Reviews showed that it was private and secure, and it was very nice to walk in. Make sure that we had security in the evenings. If you’re not scared of little salamanders running around, this will be the place you say.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you felt at home while enjoying the beauty of the jungle and the nearby beach. It’s great to know that you appreciated the privacy, security, and the peaceful surroundings. And yes, our little salamanders are part of the fun jungle experience! We hope to welcome you back to Villa Mot Mot for another memorable stay soon.

We will definitely be back and would love to stay at Villa MotMot of Manuel Antonio (MA) Estates again—it’s a beautiful neighborhood with so many lovely homes, perfectly located within walking distance to downtown Quepos (and yummy food at Soda Sanchez) and Manuel Antonio (plus right on the bus line down to MA National Park and Playa Espadilla). And El Salto (a waterfall near the end of the road up the very steep hill and down a rugged trail) is an unpolished, natural gem! We had so many memorable adventures and experiences thanks in no small part to the kind, patient, responsive, and hospitable staff at MA Estates, Biophilia, and Chef Vicky! The Villa was great (perfect for our family of 5, ranging from age 6 to 72) as was the pool (so refreshing!) and the backyard visits from frogs, lizards, birds, and monkeys! There was some construction on the lot next door, but the host told us about it beforehand and offered (plus then honored) a fair discount as a result. Great trip! Pura Vida!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed your stay at Villa Mot Mot and made lasting memories with your family. We’re glad the location worked well for you, and that you had the chance to explore some local favorites like El Salto and Soda Sanchez. It’s also great to hear you were happy with the service from our team and Chef Vicky. We appreciate your understanding regarding the construction, and we hope to welcome you back soon. Pura Vida!

It felt like a very safe space as there are guards at the entrance. The place itself is very beautiful and spacious. It was our first time in Costa Rica so it felt like a super unique experience as we saw monkeys and other animals outside on the trees. Sometimes the animals were loud but I would 100% recommend this place to anyone!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you felt safe and enjoyed the beauty and spaciousness of Villa Mot Mot. It’s always special to experience Costa Rica’s incredible wildlife up close, and we’re glad it made your stay even more unique! We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back anytime. Safe travels and pura vida!

Great communication and so helpful. The home is in a great location near everything. Beautiful home and ladies who came and cleaned did a fantastic job. We hope to stay again!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the location and the home, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to host you. It's wonderful to know that our cleaning team left such a positive impression. We’d love to welcome you back anytime, and we look forward to your next stay!

The house is nice and well-furnished However, the owner of the house had planned construction works right behind the villa, for the entire duration of our stay. THEIR construction crew started working at 7am every day until 5pm. There was even a bulldozer on Monday morning deforesting the lot just behind the pool. The view now is definitely not as nice now then it was a few weeks ago. Moreover, they had another crew working all day at the office, which is located 25 meters away from the mot mot villa. Every day, it was metal bar cutting, welding, sawing, etc...we could not even talk to each other because of the noise. It was like living on a construction site... I complained everyday, without any results. On Day 5, they finally told us their crew would be starting at 9am and they offered a 20% discount. Warning for future guests: I suppose they will be building a new home being villa Mot Mot. I would surely inquire what is the status of the construction before renting this house

Dear Jean-Francois, We truly appreciate your kind words about the villa. We take great care in ensuring it is well-furnished, comfortable, and spotless for our guests to enjoy. Regarding the nearby construction, this was an unexpected situation, and we did everything possible to ensure a calm and enjoyable stay for you. Our team actively worked to manage the noise levels, and we provided a reimbursement of 20% as a gesture of goodwill. Additionally, we offered a night tour for you to enjoy the surrounding area in a more peaceful setting, though we understand it may not have been convenient for you to confirm at that time. For clarification, the construction did not involve any deforestation, and no trees were harmed. The work was limited to making a hole in the ground, ensuring minimal impact on the surrounding environment. We appreciate your patience and understanding, and we always strive to provide the best experience for our guests. Your feedback is important to us, and we encourage future guests to reach out with any questions before their stay.

Julio is a great host , gave excellent directions and instructions. Julio communicated very during our stay. The home was very clean, comfortable ,private and very quiet. The property is located near the ocean and very convenient to restaurants and stores. The interior decor of the AirBnB was beautiful with a wraparound porch and pool in the back . highly recommend this AirBnB property to Airbnb members when staying in the manual Antonio area of Costa Rica .

Thank you so much for your kind review, John! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the comfort, privacy, and decor of Villa Mot Mot. It’s great to know our team was helpful during your stay. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you back soon. Pura vida!

The house is very pretty, spacious, and nicely appointed. The pool is a bit larger than it appears in the pictures. The maintenance crew arrived promptly to spend several hours unplugging the kitchen drain line but a housekeeper arrived shortly after to clean things up. The next day the hot water failed and it took 2 tries to get it resolved. The Internet was out for half a day but that was probably the provider. The mid-stay housekeeper was very nice and efficient. Some construction noise is ongoing but did not really disturb anybody.

Dear Lance, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear you enjoyed the house, the pool, and the service from our team. Your understanding regarding the maintenance issues is truly appreciated. The kitchen drain had been repaired by our maintenance team prior to your arrival, but unfortunately, it became clogged again during your stay. We took care of it as quickly as possible, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Regarding the internet, we also want to apologize for the interruption. Sadly, our internet provider, ICE, doesn’t provide advance notice of outages, and these rare disruptions can be a bit tricky. We’re glad our team could assist you promptly, though, and we’re grateful for your patience. Thank you once again for choosing to stay with us. It was a pleasure having you as our guest, and we would love to welcome you back anytime! Pura Vida! Best regards, John

Great friendly service beautiful house and setting

Thank you, Wiliam, it was a great pleasure having you and your beatiful family, we hope to have you back soon!

Very beautiful home. However, we had trouble with the toilets.  Please be aware that there is construction so it is quite loud. As well, it was listed as having 2 King Beds when it only had 1. It was unfortunate as our group needed 2 Kings and that was the reason for our booking. We would’ve picked some where more central if we would’ve known we didn’t have 2 King Beds

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Olivia. We’re glad you found the home beautiful, though we’re sorry for the challenges during your stay. We apologize for any inconvenience from the construction noise and the bedding misunderstanding. We offered a 30% discount for the noise, as noted in our advertising prior to your reservation. When the bedding issue was raised upon your arrival, we promptly acknowledged the error on our website and resolved it right away. We were never informed about any toilet issues during your stay. Clear communication helps us address concerns and ensure a better experience for all guests. We were happy to accommodate your late check-out request the day before your departure to help offset the situation (as per your request). Your feedback is truly valued, and we hope to host you again under better circumstances. Thank you.

Beautiful house! Everything was more than expected! Highly recommend

Our Second time to stay at Mot-Mot. The location is perfect. Walking distance to town and the marina. A quick car ride to all that Manual Antonio offers. Host is super responsive and can help you connect with all the fun activities in the area. The price was discounted for the nearby loud construction during our stay- it worked out for us- but be aware they start early and work late. Will definitely be back.

Thank you, Jay, for your great review!! Hope to have you back soon!!

I want to first say that the house is amazing and spacious and clean. The hosts were responsive. The scenery is stunning. Couldn’t have asked for more in that respect. Would have been well worth the money we spent. However… and this is a BIG however… there is a gigantic house being built DIRECTLY behind the house and from exactly 7am til a little after dark EVERY SINGLE DAY… it was nothing but CONSTANT jack hammers, saws, hammers, banging, drills, and construction workers yelling. The house was WELL into it’s construction and the property office is right down the hill so I feel it was extremely negligent to not inform a group of 8 people flying in from different places including from two big cities (Chicago and NY) dreaming of peace and serenity and a break from the noises and stresses of everyday life in the city. We chose this place because it offered ALL of that and it would have been so freaking incredible if there wasn’t that going on. We were all pretty  devastated.

Dear Olivia, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re thrilled to hear that you found our Mot Mot Villa to be amazing, spacious, and clean, and that the scenery met your expectations. We’re also glad that our team was responsive to your needs during your stay. However, we deeply regret that the ongoing nearby construction disrupted the peace and serenity you were seeking. We understand how frustrating it must have been, especially when traveling from busy cities like Chicago and New York, and we sincerely apologize for the impact this had on your experience. We took your advise and added to our listing description, that there is a nearby construction going on. For future guests, we want to inform you that our neighbors have confirmed, that the nearby construction is scheduled to be completed by September/October this year. We are committed to ensuring a more peaceful and relaxing environment moving forward, and we appreciate your understanding during this transitional period. Thank you again for your candid feedback. We hope you’ll consider staying with us again in the future when the improvements are complete and the tranquility you were dreaming of will be fully restored.

Beautiful place, just a few things, like the dishwasher was not working, and smell bad, the dryer is in bad condition, and the kitchen trash can was dirty on the outside. The towels did not have a great smell, like fresh smell. Overall the place was clean. And the property is definitely stunning and very good location.  I will stay there again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are thrilled to hear that you found our property beautiful and enjoyed its stunning location. We apologize for the issues you experienced during your stay, such as the dishwasher not working, unpleasant odors, the condition of the dryer, and the cleanliness of the kitchen trash can and towels. Rest assured that we take your comments seriously and will address these concerns promptly to ensure a more pleasant experience for your future stays. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to welcoming you back for an improved stay.

Great place to stay surrounded by better nature

Hola Gerson, happy to know you had a great time.!

Excellent house, the pool to my liking should have light inside it. It's very dark, but everything else excellent.

Excelente la casa, la piscina a mi gusto debería tener luz dentro de ellla xq es muy oscura, pero todo lo demás excelente.

Me alegra saber que disfrutaste de tu estancia en la casa. Es comprensible tu sugerencia sobre agregar luz dentro de la piscina para mejorar la visibilidad, especialmente durante la noche. Agradezco tus comentarios positivos sobre todo lo demás. Siempre es útil para los propietarios conocer las áreas donde pueden realizar mejoras. Espero que hayas pasado un tiempo maravilloso y que tu experiencia general haya sido excelente.

The house is very nice and comfortable, Andrés was always attentive.

La casa muy linda y cómoda, Andrés siempre estuvo atento.

We have been a group of friends, we were very comfortable and with all the facilities and comforts, which were otherwise corresponding to what was paid. WA communication was clear and quick to respond. The house is beautiful, the WiFi worked perfectly. Bathrooms, rooms, really comfortable and pleasant kitchen.

Hemos estado un grupo de amigos, nos encontramos muy cómodos y con todas las facilidades y comodidades, que a demás eran correspondientes a lo pagado. La comunicación por WA fue clara y de repuesta rápida. La casa bellísima, el WiFi funcionaba a la perfección. Baños, habitaciones, cocina realmente cómodas y agradables.

Fantastic beautiful home in the rain forest.  Daily visits from wildlife were a blast for my kids.  The pool was great and very well maintained.  I can’t say enough about the responsive commutation from our host, he was available often past buisness hours and truly loves his work and community!

Wonderful and welcoming home in a beautiful  area!! Everything you need for a comfortable stay is in the home. The host is amazing! So responsive and so helpful!! We would stay at this villa again and again.

Thanks for the review, Nicholle! Pura Vida!

Amazing hospitality. We booked last minute and they were super responsive to our needs the entire stay. Can’t say enough good thing about wonderful we were treated. We very much appreciated the delicious fruit that was left for us. Our party of 10 was very comfortable in the house with plenty of space. Thank you so much

We had a great time at Villa Mot Mot!! The hosts were communicative and very helpful in suggesting things to do and they arranged our transportation to and from San Jose for us. The location is beautiful and you truly feel immersed in the rainforest. Overall we loved the space and cleanliness of the Villa and would recommend to everyone!

We loved staying at MotMot. Plenty of wildlife right outside of the house. There was a huge sloth that we spotted daily. The area is beautiful and we plan to visit again. Andreas was very quick to answer questions and always helpful! Pura Vida!!

Thanks for the great review about our casa Mot Mot! Pura Vida Mark!

We booked this very last minute and Dorit was great at helping us! The house is very spacious and well equipped. We are a family of 5 but didn't use the downstairs bedrooms as our kids are all young and the stairs to the lower level are quite steep. However we loved that they had a lockable gate at the top! Kept our two year old safe from wandering up and down. We had great communication from Dorit and Andre, we were greeted with a lovely gift of local fruit! We had a couple minor issues that needed attending to and our hosts were so great at looking after things quickly and thoroughly. The pool is small but a great spot to cool down. We spent most of our time on the big porch looking out at the jungle. We had a family of monkeys visit us one day! So fun. We were so close to dining and the beach, it was a nicely tucked away spot that was easy to get around from.

Thank you so much for your review, Emmy! We're glad you enjoyed your stay at Mot Mot and we hope to have you back some time soon 😊  Pura Vida!

Dorit was a wonderful, accommodating and helpful

Thanks for the review Guy! Looking forward to having you back here in Manuel Antonio Estates ;)

Wonderful villa …. Feels like your in the middle of the jungle! Great amenities, convenient location and amazing staff on site to help with anything….. big or small, nothing is too much trouble. We would definitely return!

Absolutely loved the Villa I highly recommend it it’s perfect for a large group or even if you just wanted to for yourself! the pool is perfect there’s a nice grill. The monkeys come around. I just had a really wonderful time. And it’s easy to find and it’s close to everything that you would want to while visiting Manuel Antonio side of Costa Rica.

We enjoyed our few days at Mot Mot very much.  Daily visits from monkeys and a sloth in a nearby tree even!  Dorit and Sarah were very helpful during the stay too!

Thank you for the awesome review Julie!  It makes us very happy to know our team was there for you  and you enjoyed your stay at Mot Mot Villa. Please come back soon!

My group of 6 friends and I stayed here for 4 nights and really liked the place. The house is big, clean and beautiful, and there are frequent visits of super cute monkeys every afternoon!

Thank you for such a great review Adolfo!  We look forward to hosting you again in the future!

excellent location, comfortable rooms, it has 2 floors so keep in mind if you are traveling with people with some degree of physical limitation and the pool always has shade so it is cold

excelente ubicación, cuartos cómodos, tiene 2 pisos por lo que se debe tener presente si viaja con personas con algún grado de limitación física y la piscina siempre tiene sombra por lo que es fría

This place is perfect! The place is beautiful, lots of nature, the house is super comfortable, large, spacious, the rooms are very comfortable with air conditioning, the pool is very nice, everything is very clean, central, Sarah and Dorit are very kind and care at all times to make your stay as comfortable as possible

Este alojamiento es perfecto! El lugar es precioso, muchísima naturaleza, la casa súper cómoda, grande, espaciosa, los cuartos muy cómodos todos con aire acondicionado, la piscina muy bonita, todo muy limpio, céntrico, Sarah y Dorit son muy amables y se preocupan en todo momento por hacer tu estadía lo más cómoda posible

Gracias por el excelente comentario Natalia! Nos alegra mucho que la hayan pasado super! Vuelvan pronto!

The house is very nice and spacious. The place where it is located is very nice and quiet. However, the hosts are not very polite or have the complete information in the description of the alleged internal policies of the place that they communicated until the same day of our trip trying to make extra charges. Also, that the payment for the house is supposed to include VAT, but AIRBNB charges it separately so you end up paying it twice. Finally, description of the place says it includes daily cleaning, but they never came to clean. Very nice place, very bad management that made our stay unpleasant.

La casa muy bonita y espaciosa. El lugar donde esta ubicada es muy lindo y tranquilo. Sin embargo, las anfitrionas no son muy educadas ni tienen la información completa en la descripción sobre supuestas políticas internas del lugar que llegaron a comunicar hasta el mismo día de nuestro viaje intentando hacer cobros extras. Además, de que el pago de la casa supuestamente dice incluir el IVA, pero AIRBNB lo cobra por aparte por lo que terminas pagándolo doble. Para terminar, descripción del lugar dice que incluye limpieza diaria, pero nunca llegaron a limpiar. Muy lindo el lugar, muy mala administración que hizo nuestra estadía poco placentera.

We had a wonderful stay, Dorit, Sarah and the team were amazing at supporting our adventure and ensured we got the most of our time in Manuel Antonio. Great villa, loads of space and plenty of wildlife.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us & other travelers. We'd love to see you again soon! Pura vida!

Beautiful house super spacious, pool was great the location is just perfect

Thank you for the awesome review Daniel! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with other travelers. We are glad to hear you really liked our place. Come back anytime!

Amazing place!!! The pictures on the internet don’t show how beautiful it is!!! Perfect for families that want privacy, the house was very confortable, the kitchen was well equipped, really close to Manuel Antonio National park. And the waterfall is amazing!!! We expect to return in the future ❤️

Thank you for the excellent review! You're right our MotMot Villa is great for families and groups And we do have direct access to a beautiful waterfall on-site. Come back soon!!

The house was well conditioned, the pool was big enough and clean. There is plenty of privacy

La casa estaba bien acondicionada, la piscina era lo suficientemente grande y limpia. Hay mucha privacidad

Gracias por el comentario Daniel, esperamos tenerles de vuelta pronto!

We were in Costa Rica in the midst of Corona Virus Outbreak with our program changing every day. We decided last minute to stay at Mot Mot Villa in Manuel Antonio instead of San Jose which was the center of the outbreak. I booked at mid night and got a quick response by 7:30 a.m morning to make our trip possible. The roads were in great shape and the traffic was moving way over the speed limit. Dorit sent us detailed instructions on how to reach the place, where to stop for groceries and what all to sight see (alligator river) on the way. The place was bustling with tourist but the country was shutting down. We were lucky enough to catch the last ATV tour before all National Parks shut down. We reached the place at night and it took us a while to find out how to find the entrance which is kind of difficult to find at night even with good directions. There is a guard at the entrance who gave us the key to our unit. Once inside we were surprised with the size of the villa. There is a lower level with 2 bedrooms, full bathroom, TV area with sliding doors to the pool with a laundry room. The pool is decent size with jets that they turn on during the day time for some hours. There is a full size propane BBQ with lounge pool chairs. The main level has a huge master bedroom with attached bathroom with 2 sinks. There is another small bedroom too. The terrace is all around the main level with chairs and a hammock overlooking the pool surrounded by long trees. This is the first place where they provided different towels for pool area (blue) and for use inside (white) with daily maid service and all toiletries. The kitchen area is huge with all utensils one can imagine, even ground coffee. They even had a welcome basket full of fresh fruits and a vase of fresh flowers. The temperature can really shoot up during the day when the A/C in the rooms and fans are really helpful. There are so many switches it can take a while to learn what turns on what. I described the area so much as we spent a lot of time at the property as the beach, most restaurants and national parks were closed due to Corona Virus. We got fresh meat and fruits every day for BBQ (10 mins ride) and were in the pool for quite a lot of time. Between 4-6 p.m and the mornings there is a convoy of monkeys that passes over the trees and there are 100's of them. We had some bananas near the pool wall and we had at least 20-30 monkeys come on the property. It was amazing to see monkeys that close. On the weekend there was a farmers market on the waterfront with people selling handicrafts, local produce and freshly squeezed juices. The property is just 10 mins walk to the waterfront which can seems a lot when walking in the humid sun during day. Manuel Antonio was only 15 mins drive with a bus stop outside the property. Everyone at the front desk were very helpful. Sarah helped arrange last minute White River Rafting on Class IV rapids which was really fun and helped us spend half a day. We had some extra hours before the flight so Dorit helped us extend our stay for a few hours so we could drive directly to the airport. We had a really good time and hope to come back when the times are better. If you can afford this place its really worth it.

Dear Amarjit,  It was a pleasure serving you & your family. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and being so open with us.  I'm glad you had a good time.  We hope you'll come and see us again soon!

Nicer than the pictures! The AC in the rooms works perfectly and fast. The rooms would cool down within minutes when we switched it on. We saw monkeys, aras, toucan, iguanas ans even a slot right from the balcony. The pool and the house was very clean. The property is in a gated community so very safe. We would recommend without hesitation.

Thank you for the wonderful review and for taking the time to share your feedback with other travelers. Our top highlight is our wildlife in Manuel Antonio Estates and we are ecstatic that you were able to see even a sloth from your balcony! People like you make our job a pleasure.  Come back soon!

Thanks for the lovely stay, for recommending the chef (Stefan) -food was excellent- and fixing the air conditioner quickly. And thank you for recommending the nearby waterfall . We loved the hike and the swim!

We are so glad to hear everything was wonderful, (and delicious!). Come back soon! Pura Vida

Great location, very tranquil property. Kids (three teenage boys) loved the space and the pool. The facility organized a cooking class for us and another family staying elsewhere. Absolutely fantastic. Desiree is an amazing chef and teacher, our three boys ended up loving Ceviche!

Thanks for the review Ashley! We are glad you and your family loved everything.

Mot Mot was absolutely beyond our expectations. The house was huge with a private pool. We saw monkeys within the first hours of our arrival and felt as if we were in a tropical paradise in the middle of the jungle. Angie was in communication with us as soon as we landed and went above and beyond (and then some) to help us make the most of our time in Quepos. The villa is conveniently located within walking distance to many places around town and just a short drive to nearby beaches. The staff kept the house looking beautiful even down to the little touches like fresh fruit and flowers upon arrival. You will not be disappointed if you book here. Mot Mot is an exceptional choice if you’re visiting Costa Rica.

Thanks for the great review! We are so glad you guys enjoyed your time here with us!

100% recommended, excellent location, close to the beautiful Biesanz Beach, super comfortable space, it has everything you need to spend an excellent vacation, fully equipped kitchen and house, exceptional Dorit and Wendy's customer service, we hope to return soon!!!

Recomendado al 100%, excelente ubicación, cerca de la hermosa Playa Biesanz, espacio súper cómodo, cuenta con todo lo necesario para pasar unas excelentes vacaciones cocina y casa totalmente equipadas, el servicio al cliente de Dorit y Wendy excepcionales, esperamos volver pronto!!!

Place as described, but maybe not as nice as we expected.  Surrounded by jungle (which was nice for monkey watching), but made the place very dark and not somewhere you would want to hang out at for long (pool small and cold).  Lighting in the house was terrible... hard to find a good place to read or relax even though the house was large.

Amy, Thank you for staying with us! We will definitely look into changing the bulbs to a higher wattage to make it comfortable for reading.

Great please! Perfect we had a great time, so beautiful see the monkeys and be in the middle of the forest but close to town. We looking forward to go back very soon! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us. Cheers!

Di Mi, You are quite welcome and we look forward to seeing you again on future visits. Thanks for staying with us!
