We had a wonderful time in Quepos. We loved our visit to Manuel and Antonio, Tito and Orlando set us up with Mauricio who was a very knowledgeable guide. He spotted so many creatures and animals we would never had seen. Orlando gave us great restaurant recommendations and was attentive and checking in to see if we needed anything. We enjoyed our stay. One thing was there was an ant issue. We had an open box of cereal that we had closed the lid of the box and all the ants came in and found it. I know we are in the midst of nature but it’s tough if you can’t have opened food in the kitchen. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed the view from the deck.

Thank you very much for your review and for taking the time to share your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the ants during your stay. We regularly fumigate the villa after every checkout and take preventive measures to keep the property comfortable for our guests. At the same time, as you experienced during your stay, the villa is surrounded by the rainforest (jungle), and especially during the rainy season, ants and other insects are naturally more active. They can also be attracted to food, particularly items containing sugar, such as the open cereal box you mentioned. Unfortunately, for the ants, that was quite the treat! We completely understand that this can be frustrating, and we are truly sorry that it affected your experience. We appreciate your understanding and your feedback. Thank you again for staying with us. PURA VIDA!

Great stay! Very convenient location to great restaurants, within five minutes. About 10 minutes away from Manuel Antonio National Park, and about the same distance away from Quepos if you are trying to do some fishing, which we did. It was very clean and had everything that we needed. The best part for my family was the deck. Incredible view, and the plunge pool was used at least once daily. This was the first thing on the agenda whenever we got back from fishing, beach, hiking, and the best spot for coffee in the morning and cocktails at night. We just loved it. Would absolutely stay here again and hope to do so.

We stayed for 2 days in the Villa Vega, a nice, relaxing place, whether relaxing on the beach or simply on the beautiful terrace in the deck chairs or in the house's hot tub. The house is beautifully furnished with a lot of love and style and offers plenty of space. Orlando, the caretaker, was always available and quickly there when you needed him. With a lot of luck, you can see monkeys and toucans in the morning. It is close to Manuel Antonio National Park. We would recommend the villa to anyone looking for a special place to stay.

This place is amazing. The views alone are worth it, but add the pool, the beautiful showers, the wildlife that comes right up to your door… it’s stellar. Also, that AC is powerful, which is a need from people not used to Costa Rica weather ;). Orlando was an amazing host for us. Highly, highly recommend.

This villa in Quepos is in an amazing location and has the most incredible views. We enjoyed the plunge pool and saw Scarlett Macaws feeding in a tree directly in front of the deck. The layout is great for two couples or a family traveling with one child, as we were. We loved our stay here and would come back in a second.

We had an amazing time at this villa, the property itself is lovely, featuring breathtaking views and frequent visits from local wildlife. We saw monkeys, wild horses, and plenty of beautiful birds right from the villa. Orlando, had good communication throughout and fixed any minor issues we had (such as WiFi)as soon as he could. The main thing future guests should keep in mind is accessibility. Once you pass through the main gate, there is an extremely steep hill you have to walk up to reach the villa, which would be very difficult for elderly guests or anyone with mobility issues. Overall, it's a wonderful place to stay, and would definitely recommend.

We had a wonderful stay! The place is beautiful and very well maintained. The view from the pool is absolutely stunning and made our stay even more special. It’s very private, peaceful, and the perfect place to relax. We would definitely love to come back!

Stayed as a family of 4. Great location in between the beach and the bulk of Quepos. Several walkable restaurants, beautiful vistas, regular animal sightings (macaws, toucans, iguanas, and squirrels monkeys), and the quiet solace of the place all combined into a phenomenal experience. Orlando was extremely responsive and helpful, with excellent advice whenever we decided we wanted to do something random and fun. All in all, a strong recommendation from me.

Our favorite stay in our 11 day Costa Rica vacation! We saw Macaw Parrots fly by every morning and the large iguana’s loved to eat the flowers off the bush right in front of our deck. The private plunge pool was SO perfect for lounging. Orlando, the concierge, was a highlight of our stay. He gave us incredibly helpful information about the national park, helped organize taxi’s and dinner reservations, and every recommendation he gave was a hit!

It's a very nice place, it's exactly as described. My only comment is that the pool felt like it had a lot of chlorine, but otherwise excellent.
