2BR Condo in Manuel Antonio

Fernando

Excellent, 2 weeks ago

This unit is spotless, very clean and comfortable. Our family of four had a great time there, playing cards on one of the three balconies in the evenings and spending the day at the beach or at the pool. Being at the Shana by the Sea resort means that there is a pool and restaurant onsite, while at the same time having an assigned parking spot, which is very convenient. The only drawback of that is there there is a resort vibe to it, with music playing at the pool during the day. If you are looking for a quiet place to listen to the birds, etc, this may not be it. Everything else is fantastic The host was very responsive and accommodating too, so it was great

We loved our stay at Villa Manos Bailarines. It was a little challenging to find initially but no problem after the first trek up the gravel road. The house and casita are very charming and welcoming. We loved the pool for cooling off in the afternoons. Monkeys visited one day and the Toucan was a daily visitor early in the morning. The beds were comfortable and air conditioning worked well. The Villa is located convenient to all of our excursions and many restaurants. Vanessa was very responsive to our questions and needs during our stay.

The place is exactly as described in the listing. The best thing about the place is the view from the balcony, and the pool is ideal for when you return from the tours in the morning. It's small, but it wasn't full any day. It is very accessible to take an Uber and is 10 minutes from restaurants and Manuel Antonio Park, which is the main attraction. There is a supermarket within walking distance to buy food. I'm very particular about cleaning in general. I clean, but the utensils and food trays had some cleaning issues.

We were fortunate enough to find this gorgeous home at the last minute at the tail end of our trip. Kent was gracious enough to fit us in. It’s everything as described, even better in person. This home is a vacation in itself nestled into the jungle , overlooking the ocean. Beautifully designed, super spacious and clean. In the very short time we had , it gave us the opportunity to explore Manuel Antonio (Espadilla Beach should not be missed) , yet still experience the calm of just being in nature while sitting at the pool or balconies. We only wish we had more time here!! Thanking you so much!

Here's the short of the highlights here: VIEW, space, location, access to a lot of activities, great pool, quiet/ you dont hear other guests in the building, beautiful landscaping, bird and animal watching. We've stayed at this property a couple of times. The views are unparalleled: sweeping views of mountain rainforests and the ocean. The unit is accurate to pictures and description. There are some items that could use some light refreshing. The location is tough to get to- its a steep, unpaved road. You need a car to get to this unit and really you need a car all together to stay here. But its worth the drive and you get used to the driveway. We had some slight issues with timing with housekeeping... but Ken was able to handle that quickly. The kind folks who maintain the property are great.

We had a great time here - everything was as described. Note that laundry is at additional cost and so was the baby cot we requested. It is a more commercial place rather than an intimate host - everything is organised and very clean just missing a bit of a personal touch. Nonetheless, the balcony was amazing, we saw a lot of wildlife and had a very comfortable stay.

Host Response

That's good feedback! We've designed it to be self-serving because we find that's what most of our guests want--the facility of being able to do everything without having to engage a host, from check in, to laundry, to parking, to getting around. If you have any suggestions for more personal touches we are open!

We really enjoyed our stay at Castillo de Amber! We weren’t sure how our kids would feel about only being able to access our room from the balcony but it ended up being perfectly fine. The bedrooms are air conditioned with good airflow but the kitchen is not and becomes quite hot. The setting and view are beautiful. We enjoyed watching the monkeys in the trees on a daily basis, iguanas sunbathing by the pool and scarlet macaws flying by. Although hilly, it’s easily walkable to nearby restaurants and shops.
