Excellent service, very clean and safe place. There is no on-site parking, but there is free parking in front of the villas. We left the car there for two days and we had no problems. The villas are spacious and quiet. A place we would return to

Comfortable apartment, simple kitchen, no microwave or oven, but you could use the one in the shared spaces. Very friendly service, a place with a young spirit, ideal for meeting people. Nice pool area. It's a place to stay for those traveling by car. Sometimes you have to park a little far away when there is a lot of demand

We rented a beautiful, spacious and spotless appartement with a scenic view from Steven. The complex has some nice extra features like the birds nest and the fitness roof top area. Steven is a great host very welcoming and informative. Overall a great stayover!

The stay was excellent . The rooms were clean, well-equipped and in a convenient location. The view was amazing in a very quiet area. I recommend this property to future guests. Guests can use the kitchen for a limited time and must reserve their schedules on a sign located on the refrigerator.

Excellent place, very nice, easy access and excellent communication with the host. The only thing is that the kitchen is closed from 6:30 to 9:00 for the general public, so you must buy breakfast if it is not included in the reservation

We are a family of 5 people, all adults and the place is special to enjoy the place as there are many activities, the people are super friendly, as well as to enjoy nature, the number of birds you see from the terrace from the morning is beautiful, I recommend it 100%

Lovely space for visiting Manuel Antonio. We had the large flat high up with a beautiful view. The kitchen is well equipped and bedrooms with aircon great. You can get a daily cleaning too. The host is lovely and you get so many local recommendations. The pool is quite small though, would rather recommend going to the beach :)

Everything was really great. The place was nice and clean. Nice pool. Met some nice people Didn’t realize there were so many narrow, spiral stairs to climb. The electricity went out one night which was a bit concerning since one of us has use of a medical device at night. But over all very nice place. We will be back

We stayed in ‘the nest’ high up in the trees with a great view of the sunrise and the valley. There is a cool platform outside the room where you can sit and look at the stars in the evening. The place has easy going pura vida vibe. Great for visiting the beaches and Manuel Antonio park

The accommodation and the pool are very clean, the treatment is very kind from Esteban and his staff. To rest is great, only nature is heard. It is located very close to the main touristic places we visit.

Overall the stay was very good, they were always very attentive and collaborated with what we were, kind and with a good attitude. The apartment is quite good, air conditioning, fans, beds, the living room and dining room. Everything is very spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped, for long stays they have everything you need. The area well, the parking is external over the main street, but the area is safe then there is not that much problem. Good lighting and common areas like swimming pool and terraces very well. Some areas with slightly more complicated access by the stairs, but overall very good.

Staying at Villas Jacquelina was an experience and a half. Truly one of the highlights of my trip. Esteban was an amazing host, super friendly and helpful. The place itself was a vibe that you wont get anywhere else. The rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. I loved the treehouse theme and greatly enjoyed the hammocks all over the place. Will be dreaming of returning. A home away from home

We were barely one night but Esteban was very nice, the environment seemed very nice and we were allowed to leave our bags at the reception for a few hours while we were on a route and retrieve them after (even making use of the pool and showers)

The Appartement next to the bird nest is very charming, the ac's in the room are also very useful, because the living room is openly designed. We had a great stay there, the stuff and other guests are always open minded and friendly. Zach is a great host, he's very kind, and he suggested good activities with really the best guides. The appartement was as described and clean too. The airbnb itself is quite, there are some dogs in the neighbourhood which can be noisy, but there is nothing from the hostel side to do about it, and it is also not tremendous at all. I definitely recommend this Airbnb.

Good location. The hosts are very welcoming. Pleasant pool. Many activities are offered. Availability of hosts. However: namely it will not be an apartment with all your privacy, we are more in a hostel / hotel spirit. The bedrooms lock but the living room /kitchen is closed only by mosquito doors (no key) overlooking the sports terrace) so there may be music from athletes for example. And the other window opens to a hanging hammock accessible for all... Accessibility is also not easy bcp of stairs (i.e. you are for example with children). We also had some hot water issues (not very serious given the heat). The place remains very nice but we find it a little expensive at night for the service.

We really enjoyed our stay! The apartment was spacious, the AC worked very well, the shower was hot, the bed was comfortable, and the views from the unit in the morning were amazing. Beautiful birds, monkeys, squirrels, etc. The breakfast each morning was delicious, and the kitchens were well stocked for cooking (oil, shortening, spices, rice maker, pots, pans, knives, etc). The host was super helpful and helped us plan out some amazing days exploring the area. The place felt super safe, and there were safe spots to park the car. The hostel is about a 10 minute walk into downtown Quepos. We really enjoyed our stay, and would definitely stay here again!

Amazing stay here in Quepos. About a 15/20 min drive to Manuel Antonio. The view from our apartment on the top was breathtaking. We also really loved the birds nest that was attached. Yummy breakfast and really nice staff. They offer yoga classes in the afternoons and breakfast in the mornings. Would definitely stay here again.

The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. Quepos is about a 10/15 minute walk... Unfortunately, there were communication issues with the host, so we had to pay more. Breakfast is not included, even if this is for amenities/ services!

Perfect place to stay if you want a true Costa Rican adventure. Beautiful scenery and birds are seen/heard at all times. Very close to town as well. Esteban is a great host and will give recommendations on things to do. Also, don’t sleep on the breakfast. We only had it once and wish we had it more days. The pancakes were AMAZING.

My stay at Esteban's apartment in Quepos was fantastic. The apt itself was very comfortable and located within a reasonable distance of downtown Quepos. You could walk, but my group and I rented scooters which we really enjoyed. The apt is located within a larger building that has lots of international travelers and a cool open air communal area. Internet was fast enough for me to work remotely. And to cap it off, our host on the premises, Zack, took us to the Quepos bus station when there were no taxis available so we wouldn't miss our bus. Great hospitality and recommended for future travelers!
