What a beautiful home! The inside was great. Decorated nicely and the kitchen had everything that we needed. But it was the back patio that did it for us. Beautiful infinity pool overlooking the jungle. We saw macaws, parrots, caracara’s, iguanas, and could hear the howler monkeys in the distance. Peaceful, beautiful and my family loved it.
Host Response
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so happy to hear that you and your family enjoyed the home and its beautiful jungle surroundings. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back soon! Pura vida Steve ;)

Was by far my favorite part of our trip, the house is absolutely beautiful. The pool was clean & a great cool off spot for us as we aren’t used to the humid weather yet. Everything was very clean and tidy. Close to many shops & restaurants. We felt very safe here & felt right at home. We plan to come back again!

This is hands down the best AirBnB I have had the chance to stay at. It has all amenities you will ever need and every single morning you wake up with the most beautiful view. Honestly if I could I would stay there forever in that little piece of paradise. We had a few obstacles in the beginning which where efficiently and easily fixed by our host the moment we informed him about it. Pura Vida ❤️
Host Response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review Damyan! We’re so happy to know that you enjoyed the house. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’re glad we could quickly assist with the few things that came up during your stay. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to your little piece of paradise in Manuel Antonio someday. Pura Vida!

A comfortable place to relax. I recommend it if you have to go for work or for vacation. It's very comfortable and centrally located. The only thing is that if it rains, be careful because the floor is slippery and someone could fall. I almost fell, but they should look into that issue. Otherwise, it's excellent.
Host Response
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for recommending us, Sergio. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the comfort and location. We greatly appreciate your feedback about the floor and will keep it in mind when we check it. We hope to welcome you back soon!

Excellent, 1 month ago
Beautiful home in a great location. For a large group/family or guests who really want to spread out and have your own space, this place is perfect. One of the most well stocked Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in, they really thought of everything. The location can’t be beat, right in the heart of the jungle. There’s a huge tree in the road right in front of the house where we saw soooo many Scarlet Macaws fly into and roost for the night- maybe a top 5 experience in my entire life. Also saw squirrel monkeys (they didn’t visit the porch, sadly), toucans, agoutis etc, and we were only there for two nights! We had a slight snafu but it was handled quickly and professionally. Would highly recommend.
Host Response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re also very glad we were able to resolve the issue promptly and make things right for you. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate your recommendation!

Excellent, 1 month ago
A fantastic accommodation with plenty of space and all the comforts. Of course, a beautiful pool and great views over the jungle. Unfortunately, no monkeys were seen there, but in the distance there were toucans and parrots flying overhead. For a night tour, you have to book Finca Salamandra. This is on private property with a route. It's two hours with a very knowledgeable guide who takes plenty of time for beautiful photos.
Host Response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It’s great that you were able to spot toucans and parrots, even if the monkeys decided to stay out of sight this time! We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for another memorable stay in the future! Pura vida Rick! ;)
Michael
Good, 1 month ago
I showed up at 2:30 when I told them I would be there at 2:00 more than once and they made me wait until 3:00 to get the key for no reason. We walked up to the place and there was no one there cleaning. They lied.
Host Response
We’re sorry that this situation affected your experience Michael. We're committed to being transparent with our guests, and we communicated our 3:00 PM check-in time in advance. While we understand that waiting was frustrating, access before 3:00 PM is not guaranteed unless an early check-in has been confirmed. Our cleaning team’s goal is to have the home fully clean and ready by check-in time, which is why you would not normally find anyone cleaning at 3:00 PM. We’re sorry for the misunderstanding and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and provide you with a better experience. Pura vida ;)

Kathryn
Excellent, 1 month ago
Loved our stay! The space was beautiful and clean, surrounded by nature, and the host was friendly and helpful. Only thing of note is that the apartment is up a long flight of stairs at the top of a very steep hill, and our truck struggled a little with the hill. Not unmanageable at all, but worth knowing, especially if you have issues with climbing stairs. But well worth it, if you're ok with that! Would definitely stay here again!

The house and area surrounding it was beautiful. There was a waterfall close by and beaches were just a few minutes away by car. We definitely enjoyed ourselves. We saw lots of Iguanas, Scarlet Macaws, and Monkeys, all without leaving the property. We would stay here again if we returned to Quepos in the future.

Dawn
Excellent, 1 month ago
I can’t say enough great things about this house. We felt so safe in a private gated community. We had so much wildlife come right to the house including two different species of monkeys that really put on a show for us. A coatimundis that grazed on the hill in front of the house for a few hours. The windows are fabulous all throughout the house which really made us feel like we had the full beauty of the jungle at all times including the beautiful bathroom. We really enjoyed the short hike to the waterfall on the property, it was way more than what we expected and a beautiful swimming hole with blue water. The creek runs along the house and could hear the beautiful sound but one night we had a lot of rain and the waterfall was flowing really good for two days which was even more enjoyable. The house was also well stocked and pool and patio cleaned every morning. Location was perfect. Close to the marina, shops, beaches, restaurants and Manuel Antonio but quiet and secluded.
Host Response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review Dawn! We’re glad you enjoyed the jungle setting or pretty access to the waterfall, and the convenient location. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back again soon! Pura vida!

The place had an amazing view and had all the essentials you can possibly think making it feel like your own home. I really enjoyed my time here. However, it is very high so my recommendation bring a big car to go up the hill. The host was super attentive and responsive to every question i had.

This villa in the Antonia manual estates was one of the highlights of our 15 day Costa Rica excursion The beds felt clean, brisk and was done with premium bedding. The pans are high quality and they even left some condiments available that one may need. I truly appreciate the daily outdoor cleaning service to the villa, the fresh floral arrangements and the gifted fruit basket. We highly recommend this spacious and beautiful home set inside a private residence with a 24 hour guardsman and lush well managed gardens. The area had great attractions, our favorite was the national park where we had monkeys trying to interact with us. Everyone was so pleasant and helpful. This accommodation added so much value to our trip! Book it.

The home is just as it's described. It's nestled back in the jungle, making it private and peaceful, yet close to Quepos. As a host myself, I was extremely impressed with the responsiveness of the host team. Everyone from the team, to security, and maintenance was friendly and always had a smile! The kitchen is very well equipped, the bathrooms are large and nicely appointed, and the beds are very comfortable. As other reviewers have noted- there is no aircon in the main area. You can easily remedy this by leaving both air conditioners on in the bedrooms and running all ceiling fans. The home is situated, like most homes, up a steep driveway. I had no issues getting up and down it, with 4x4; or a power walk, which is a great calf, quad, and glut workout🥰 Yes, packing practical shoes (not just cheap flip flops are advised) I had great traction with my chaco’s and even my OluKais(both outside by the pool and walking up the hill). Magica!! The home is amazing!
Host Response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was especially lovely to hear your kind words about our team. We truly appreciate you noticing their effort to make every guest feel welcome and well taken care of. And we loved your description of the driveway as a “great calf, quad, and glute workout”! Thank you as well for sharing such helpful tips with future guests. It was a pleasure having you stay with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Manuel Antonio again soon! Pura vida!

OK, 2 months ago
The place itself was nice, but there were several problems. The AC in my room wasn’t working properly and caused so much condensation that the nightstand was wet. The driveway is also extremely steep and difficult to access. The worst part was checkout. Checkout is unusually early at 10 a.m. We asked for a little extra time to finish packing. When the cleaner arrived, the entire upstairs was already empty, and I told her she was welcome to start cleaning while we finished downstairs. Instead, she called the office, and shortly afterward someone came to the door confronting us and insisting we leave immediately. We were actively packing and had given the cleaner access to most of the house, so this reaction felt completely unnecessary. We ultimately left around noon. The way we were treated made us feel like we were being thrown out rather than paying guests and left a very negative impression of an otherwise nice property.
Host Response
Thank you for your feedback Mercedes. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience with the A/C; however, this issue was never reported to us, even though you extended your stay, so unfortunately we were not aware and had no opportunity to assist. Checkout is at 10:00 AM, as clearly indicated from the beginning of the reservation. As an exception, we allowed an additional hour, but the house was ultimately vacated around noon. Our housekeeper was unable to begin cleaning at 10:00 AM because access to the house was not provided, so our Guest Services team had to respectfully intervene, as we needed the full time to prepare the property for the next guests. Regarding the driveway, its steepness is due to the natural geography of the property and unfortunately cannot be changed. We are glad you otherwise enjoyed the home, and decided to stay one more night, we truly hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. Pura vida!

Apartment with all the comforts to make you feel at home. Clean, comfortable beds and good views. The monkeys welcomed us and we loved it. We used the laundry service and it was perfect, at a good price. The bus that goes to Manuel Antonio stops 200 meters away, which was great for us. We couldn't enjoy the pool because some tenants were vaping and listening to music, which bothered us quite a bit.
Host Response
Thank you for sharing your experience and for highlighting the comfort, cleanliness, and our services. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the location and the visit from our dear friends, the monkeys. We're sorry you weren't able to enjoy the pool as you expected. It is very important to us that all our guests can enjoy the common areas in a calm and respectful manner, and we take this type of feedback very seriously in order to continue improving everyone's experience. It has been a pleasure to host you and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future. Pura vida!

Julio’s place was absolutely amazing every thing was perfect, really comfortable house, spacious but everything on the same level which was great, location in the middle of the jungle to allow us to observe wildlife in the best way you could ever imagine, you actually see more animals and wildlife sitting on the balcony or by the pool than visiting any of the national parks, we found the house equipped with everything you need so you feel like at home, we would definitely return when we next visit Quepos, thanks Julio for our great vacation!

The home was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed for our family of 5. The beds were comfortable and we really enjoyed that there was a bathroom attached to each room. What really makes this home stand out is the pool and outdoor space and the breath taking view! The pool was warm and we spent a lot of time out there just taking in the beauty around us. The pictures don’t do it justice. The hosts were fantastic and helpful with recommendations and clear instructions as well. As others have said, the drive up the driveway is daunting but that’s the trade off you get for the view. This home would be better suited if you have a car. We did not rent one so we did have to hire taxis to go anywhere but they were readily available. Everything we wanted to do was close and a quick taxi ride. Would definitely recommend this home. We had a fantastic time! Thank you for hosting us!

I stayed here with my 3 teenagers for 5 nights. We all absolutely loved it. Everyone was welcoming, helpful and friendly. Our villa was comfortable, well stocked and we saw monkeys and iguanas every day. Our pool was cleaned daily for us and they put out 2 brand new hammocks for us that we enjoyed daily. The kind people in villa were so responsive with every request and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The hidden waterfall on the property was a favorite for my son. If we are ever fortunate to return to this area, we would absolutely stay here again.
Host Response
Thank you Jackie, for sharing such a lovely review! It makes us very happy to know that your family felt at home and enjoyed the little things that make a stay here special. We’re especially glad the kids had fun spotting the wildlife and discovering the waterfall! We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to see you all again someday!

This is a beautiful place, surrounded by wonderful lush, tropical gardens. The private Pool is delightful because it was the wet season. However, the road leading up to the villa is very steep and very slippery. So you need to be careful when driving. I attempted to walk down the hill, and in fact, I fell on a slippery sport. Totally my fault. I should’ve taken the car instead, but we were not prepared for that in the description, there was no mention of the status of that hill, or what that would be like in the wet season.
Host Response
Thank you for your kind words Amanda and for sharing your experience. We’re glad you enjoyed the villa. We’re sorry to hear about your fall, and we hope you were okay. We truly appreciate your feedback and will make sure to provide clearer information about the road, especially during the rainy season. We hope to welcome you back ;)

Casa Heron is absolutely beautiful with stunning views. We saw monkeys, iguanas, lizards and birds from the house and had a coati come right up to us at the side of the pool. Julio was an excellent host. We had a very small issue (replacement batteries required for the AC) which Julio sorted out immediately. The only down side is the very steep hill up to the house which was slippy when wet. All in all we loved it here and didn’t want to leave.

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.

We saw so much wildlife sitting on the porch. Monkeys came by every night and was our absolute favorite part of the trip watching them play. The pool was refreshing. The unit itself was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The mattresses were a little more firm then my taste but such a small detail in an amazing place to stay!

This was a great place to base ourselves while we were exploring Quepos and Manuel Antonio. We heard many birds and even had a pair of Tucans come and visit us on the tree branches outside the living room window. It is a very cozy place with its two bedrooms and the living room is very comfortable. The pool was very nice to take a dip in after a busy day. The fruit and coffee that were provided were very nice. The one parking space is very difficult to get into and will put a test to your driving skills and relationship lol but we got it down after a couple tries. We enjoyed Raindrop Spa for a massage session, which was amazing and walkable within the same community. We would definitely stay here again. Be ready for some steep walking climbs if you’re going to be walking in and out of the community though, but the views were worth it!!

This place was fabulous for my family of 4 (2 teens). Each kid had their own bedroom and bathroom. The property is beautiful and location is great with access to many different activities! We had a family of capuchins visit one evening, and there is a black spiny-tailed iguana that hides out in the backyard! Saw many other lizards and my Merlin app picked up numerous bird calls. Would definitely recommend this property!
Host Response
It’s nice to know you got to experience the incredible wildlife that makes Manuel Antonio so unique. Thank you for your recommendation! We hope to welcome you and your family back for another unforgettable stay.

Host, Julio, and Co-host, Viviana, were extremely responsive and kind. They answered all my questions and concerns and recommended much more thereafter for the surrounding areas such as restaurants and activities. Taxi service entering the secured gated community was very easy as well in which the taxis arrived within 5 mins or less upon request with the number provided by host/co-host. The one thing I will be aware of is that it is not quite walkable and the hills to the Airbnb were a bit steep. Requesting a car to this home and leaving the home is best. I would absolutely recommend staying in this beautiful and spacious home or any other property under Julio and Viviana!

Lovely and very comfortable home. Nice for our family of four. The kids enjoyed the giant bathtub and being able to see monkeys frolicking from the living room windows. The property is right next to a bus stop which we took to easily access Manuel Antonio National Park. We’d happily return!

Access is definitely not very friendly…. If you are not careful or do not drive an automatic transmission car, getting in and out can be difficult given the slope of the road and the narrow parking space for turning around. Other than that, everything was very good.

Thank you very much, Marcelo. Those kinds of comments help the next guests consider their decision! We hope to see you again soon ;)

We loved our week at this beautiful home. The views were amazing! We loved the pool and the outdoor area, which we used every day. I especially loved seeing the scarlet macaws in the morning. The home was very clean and spacious. The hosts were very responsive. There is a beautiful waterfall just a short hike away, which we enjoyed. I cannot recommend this home enough!

Overall, our stay was quite satisfactory. The three houses that correspond to Casa Quetzal were perfectly arranged and clean. At night you can hear the animals, like monkeys and birds, and the team welcomed us very well. They were very friendly and helpful. The kitchen is very well equipped, and the laundry area is the same. The only observation I have is that some rocks in the pool are loose and can cause injury. Also, the air conditioning in the main room blows water.
Host Response
Estrella, thank you so much for your review and for choosing us! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay, the nature, and the attention of our team. We also thank you for informing us about the rocks in the pool and the air conditioning. We will review both issues with our maintenance team. We hope to welcome you again very soon!

Great location, convenient access to public transportation, ample restaurants and things to do all while providing a quiet, private neighborhood. The local wildlife was incredible, watching the monkeys play in the trees and hammock right outside our window made this an unforgettable stay.
Host Response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Michael. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the location, the peaceful neighborhood, and the easy access to restaurants, public transportation, and local attractions. It’s especially rewarding to know that watching the monkeys from the hammock became such a memorable part of your stay—that’s one of the unique experiences we love sharing with our guests. Thank you as well for your kind words about the cleanliness, communication, and check-in experience. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back to Manuel Antonio Estates for another unforgettable visit. Pura Vida 🌿

This house was perfect. My favorite thing was to lie in the pool and just look up at all the tall trees and greenery. After 2 days I felt better and relaxed. The monkeys in the trees in the early evening were such a treat. At night we could hear a Howler monkey, so cool. I love to listen to birds and was delighted at all the exotic sounds the Merlin App picked up. The house is really comfortable with everything we needed, very clean. We loved watching the world cup games. The location is a perfect base to all the area has to offer. Appreciated the basket of fruit when we arrived. My husband and son walked to get pizza one night. Loved the open plan and spacious feel of the house. Appreciated being able to do laundry too. Cannot recommend enough, the host is super quick to respond and communicate.

The house is amazing, comfortable and spacious. I would come back many more times. We had a chance to see monkeys and woodpeckers right by the pool… quite a spectacle :) In my case, the only issue was the hill. Although it says so in the description, I think that upon arrival the difficulty can be a surprise for many, since it is full of moss and the car slips. Even going down on foot is dangerous. It really isn't for a novice driver. On the other hand, the blender didn't work. Everything else was impeccable :)
Host Response
Steven, thank you very much for your kind review. We are sorry about the situation with the blender. Thank you for letting us know. It will be very helpful for the experience of future guests. We hope you can visit us again soon. We would be happy to welcome you. Pura Vida :)

It was a beautiful stay. We stayed for 3 nights, 2 days. There’s a ton of restaurants and things to do in the area. I give the place a 4 out of 5 because although responsive and willing to help, there was a broken shower knob which he did notify us about, and told us what to do. However, even pushing it in as instructed, we weren’t able to use that bathroom because it only had cold water. In addition, there was a broken window which let mosquitoes in and the A/C leaked water over our stuff because the hose was not working properly. Overall, they were extremely responsive and eager to fix any concerns or issues, so I would recommend the stay.
Host Response
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us and for your kind words about our team's responsiveness.

Very nice stay, but the check-out time is not normally what is used at an Airbnb
Host Response
Thank you, Valery. We're glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and appreciate you sharing your experience. The 10:00 am check-out time is clearly stated in the listing before confirming the booking, so that each guest can decide if it meets their needs. In our case, it is essential, since the house requires approximately 5 hours to clean and do all the laundry before the next check-in at 3:00 pm. Unfortunately, this time check-out was at 11:30 am, despite our messages, and the no-pet policy was also violated by bringing a dog without authorization. For future reservations, we recommend that you carefully review the conditions of each accommodation before confirming. We wish you the best on your upcoming trips and hope you always find a place that perfectly suits your needs.

Out of all the places I stayed during my Costa Rica trip, this was my favorite! it had everything - pool, washer/dryer, AC, TV, seasonings for cooking, pool floaties. it was very clean upon arrival and had a great view of the mountains. we were also lucky enough to be visited by a few squirrel monkeys who passed by in the near trees! they were adorable.

We stayed for 3 nights as a family, and the stay in the house was simply exceptional. We enjoyed Playa Espadilla as well as a visit to Manuel Antonio Park. To avoid parking problems, we parked the car near the agency's reception (secure parking) and took the bus 150 m from the agency, which was convenient. The house was very well laid out and decorated; nothing was missing. And besides, in order to fully enjoy the accommodation and the pool, we chose to cook on site. But what a joy to enjoy such a view of the rainforest; you never get tired of it. A true haven of peace in the heart of nature.

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.

We had an incredible stay at Manuel Antonio Estates! The property is beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. Waking up to the sounds of wildlife and seeing monkeys and tropical birds nearby made the experience even more special. The location was perfect—close to Manuel Antonio National Park, Quepos, great restaurants, beaches, and excursions, while still feeling private and relaxing. The home was very clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The host was welcoming, responsive, and made sure our stay went smoothly from beginning to end. If you’re looking for a place to experience the beauty of Costa Rica while enjoying comfort and convenience, we highly recommend staying here. We would absolutely come back. Thank you for making our trip so memorable! 🇨🇷🌴

The place was beautiful. We rented it last min for a spontanious trip & only were there for 16hrs. 3 bedrooms, 2 /private on suite bathrooms. I asked concierge to turn the a/c on about 20 mins before we arrived which I'm glad I did. Upstairs w/the kitchen, living & 3rd bedroom were still kinda warm. The spiral staircase was pretty but not my favorite thing so when I wanted to go downstairs to where the kids were & the other sitting area I used the outside staircase off the kitchen, much safer for me. The pool was nice, clean & cool. It is not heated & a bit difficult to get in the round part. The larger part was about 5ft deep & the round part still deep but not as deep. The staff were super friendly & spoke English extremely well. The community is gated with friendly security at the entrance to let you in & out. The shower water was hot & at least the upstairs bathroom sink had hot water too (I didn't use the other sinks). Many restaurants driveable. 5AM-HOWLER MONKEYS SAID WAKE-UP!

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.
