The place is very nice, and the manager is very friendly. However, it clearly lacks maintenance, and since you can't open any windows for fear of an animal getting in, it causes moisture in the house and odors to build up. If you air out the house for a while, it helps a bit.

It smelled bad and the photos did not match the house I rented. The one in the photos had a TV in the bedrooms and looked cleaner. It looks like they rented me another house.

There are tons of birds. The manager was great and very helpful with everything. The place was nice; however, it needs some serious love. The adobe outside finish has some holes and inside there sheetrock needs some paint and nails hammered back in and there was some mold in the living room.

Large and well-kept place to stay, large windows with plenty of natural light. The patio with garden furniture in the back, with great views of the forest where there are monkeys, birds, and other animals! The pool area and the garden are absolutely magical! Highly recommend!

The accommodation clearly lacked general maintenance! The most problematic point remains the front door: the lock gets stuck, which left us stuck outside. Fortunately we had a phone with us and contacted Johan the manager to bring us a duplicate! In addition to the 4 houses, a small building completes the property, which means that the pool can quickly be very busy. The garden, on the other hand, is superb and is clearly a positive point.

Kim's place is beautiful and location is very convenient. Quepos and Manuel Antonio Park is close to it. Also, Johan was very attentive and helpful with everything we need. He helped me to surprise my husband with a 50 year balloon decoration for his birthday. We had an awesome time in Kim's place.

The location of this apartment was spot on. Even with multiple apartments on site it was always quiet in the evenings. We made some lovely friends just chatting around the pool watching the wildlife. The apartment was clean in general but could do with an overall make over. it was just a bit tired and in need of love. Dusty high fans for example. Johan the complex manager was constantly working hard and was so lovely and helpful. He recommended things for us and was a pleasure to talk to. The pool was just wonderful and never too busy. The gardens are well kept and very pretty. The beds were comfy and sitting watching the spider monkeys, sloth, Macaws, toucan, agouti and many many other animals just from the garden was great! Go and watch the sunset down at Quepos with the locals....stunning.

My mother, my wife and my 3-year-old daughter were able to see two kinds of monkeys in the backyard; we saw three capybaras; butterflies; limpets; toucans. It was great. I've never been to a place where I can see so much wildlife together before.

Our arrival went very well with very clear instructions from Johan. Always present on the residence, he applies himself to informing us and it is very nice! The houses are no longer in their prime, although maintained there are small details that we have noticed. We had the air conditioning, the place was clean, the pool and BBQ area are real pluses at this residence!

The house was okay. Had some loud neighbors at night (not the fault of the Airbnb but if you’re looking to get good rest this isn’t much different than being in a hotel in terms of proximity to others). The hot water was not working one evening and since it was after normal business hours they said wait until tomorrow and see if it comes back on. They said they could possibly try to get there in the morning before we checked out but that they would check in again in the morning. We never heard from them again

Everything was perfect — the house, the furnishings, the pool, and the entire property were beautiful, right in the middle of the jungle. We were able to spot monkeys, parrots, and hummingbirds. A dream. And our host Johan was very accommodating and gave us helpful tips. We’d love to come back. Thank you so much!

Everything in the cottage was right, worked, was clean and well maintained. The location was perfect: beautiful garden, lovely pool, between Quepos and Manuel Antonio. We were warmly and personally welcomed by Johan, with whom we had already been in contact in advance. Good beds, nice, well-equipped kitchen. In the afternoon and evening, we enjoyed the garden and the swimming pool, while the monkeys were seen in the trees and the yellow-winged macaws flew over in groups. Paradise-like beauty. We enjoyed it!

The place is definitely recommended! A nice apartment in the style of a small house. Superbly equipped and from previous users there were even spices, oil and vinegar, which thus did not have to be procured. The quick jump into the pool was great and could be used flexibly, as there was always enough space. We had several power outages during our stay, but it was back after a relatively short time. Unfortunately, on the last day the Internet was completely gone and the regular reception was very poor there. But that didn't stop the whole thing either. If you want to see macaws, various monkeys and even frogs right outside the front door, this is the place!

Arrived in dark and Johan sent us a great video to help us find the villa: We really enjoyed our stay. Gorgeous villa in serene location. Lovely pool which was warm and clean and open till 10. Always empty. Great to have washing machine as activities were muddy. BBQ worked well and used every night. Loved having outside space in the jungle. Could see monkeys and macaws in trees around our villa. Would definitely recommend.

Our stay was full of unexpected surprises but the property manager (Johan) was so helpful in making our stay the best it could be under the circumstances. From arriving to the place with no electricity, to water leaks in the middle of the night, Johan went above and beyond to get things corrected. I blame none of these things on the property or the management. Some things just can’t be controlled. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay here again!

Terrible terrible terrible experience. The most unprofessional AirBnb I’ve ever stayed. Upon check in there were a ton of bugs in the room, TOILET didn’t flush, no water in the sinks, washer didn’t work, Internet didn’t work, oh my god where do I start. Just don’t be like me and CONSIDER the other reviews. They aren’t lying to you. I came on my honeymoon and was completely embarrassed. I got a full refund from Airbnb and went across the road to Riverside Bungalows. Super nice people family owned and took care of my very well. Do not stay at this garbage property
Host Response
So sorry for your bad experience. But nothing worked because the water pipe was broken. We did not receive one message from you we discovered the problem. When one of the other Villas informed us that they had no water also. Everybody was given back their money promptly and we arranged for you to go across the street to our neighbor. I personally never received the message from you and Johan was at the property quickly when he discovered the problem and trying to resolve it. And you left already to go across the street. To my friend carlos's place Riverside bungalows. My Villas are beautifully kept. My manager Johan is wonderful he does all he can to help anybody. Again I'm sorry for your bad experience. But trust me it was a bad experience for us also no water no cable all totally out of our control

Wir waren 3 Nächte in der Unterkunft und haben uns vom Check-in bis zum Check-out sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Anlage ist sehr ruhig und besticht durch einen wunderschönen Pool und einer schönen Umgebung. Wir konnten viele Tiere wie Affen, Aras, Kolibris und Tucane vom Balkon aus beobachten. Die Betten sind gross und bequem. Der Nationalpark Manuel Antonio und dessen Strände istin wenigen Autominuten erreichbar. Alles in allem haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden sofort wieder diese Unterkunft buchen.

Pro’s Good location Nice pool & spacious bedrooms Good barbecues Load of wildlife Con’s The bungalow was very tired in places - the ceiling needs replacing due to rain damage Only 5 sun beds for 4 bungalows & 9 apartments did not work Can get noisy in the evenings due to younger guests partying in the pool - wouldn’t be an issue normally but the bungalows are very close to the pool. Johan the maintenance guy works very hard as does the older guy, some of the younger male staff appear to be on their phones all day and sit in the barbeque area which is meant to be for guests.

The place is very beautiful, full of nature and different animals you can see from the house. It has an excellent pool and very well kept. It is a bit away from the noise of vehicles and people, very quiet to rest. The house needs some maintenance, maybe worn due to moisture. It is a very good, spacious house and a wonderful environment.

A really great stay coming from San Jose. We saw so much wildlife at the hotel area - just be staying there. It really felt magically to live in the middle of the rainforest with Macaws, monkeys, sloths, iguanas and exotic birds everywhere. The kitchen and utilities are a little outdated, but it had what we needed to make breakfast and dinner as a family of four. The pool was always very cleaned as well as the hotel area. There is a restaurant right on the resort, where we had a good dinner once. But within a very short drive, there is everything you need in supermarkets and dining day and night. There are no real pavements in Manuel Antonio, so you need to drive to everything. Beach and national park as well as waterfalls are also withing 10 min. drive. Super convenient. Staff was very helpful and nice. I recommend this place to anyone visiting Manuel Antonio 😊

This place is a birdwatchers & butterflies paradise! There was a hummingbird nest out our back door & a scarlet macaw's nest out front, not to mention the many other species we saw there! On the way to a restaurant we stopped on the road to watch a family of howler monkeys cross by us overhead on the wires, a mother with her baby clinging to her. Overall we LOVED this place, but I took off a star because 1) Kim did not respond until I reached out to her a week after instant booking & she blamed it on Johan, who is actually the property manager. Johan was great & booked us the best mangrove tour! 2) Although the place for the most part was very clean, little things were overlooked, like the funky-looking sponge in the kitchen that looked like it had been there for a very long time. I refused to use it. 3) It had a brand new TV that we were told was put in 2 weeks ago, yet Johan did not know how to use it to help us with things we couldn't figure out.
Host Response
I did not blame Johan I said sorry I did not see your message ,Johan my manager answers if he would see ,I did not respond .I guess he did not see your messages asking about the weather.himself or I am sure he would have answered . you also need to understand ,AIR BNB needs to work on how they deliver a message from a guest,all it reads is reservation ..if you were to look at villasmonotiti@gmail.com email , almost every line reads reservation. Now I am blaming AirBNB. for my missing you questions .🙃
