The place itself was great—clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the amenities and overall atmosphere. The host was good as well. The main challenge was the location and road access. The road leading up to the property is very rough and bumpy, with much of it unpaved. Because of the road conditions, some drivers canceled our rides, and the drivers who did accept often struggled to make it up the hill. This is something future guests should be aware of, especially if they plan to rely on ride-sharing services or are not driving a vehicle suited for rough roads. Overall, the property was nice, but the difficult road access had a significant impact on our experience.

Place was conveniently located and a short drive to all the restaurant and Manuel Antonio park. Google maps showed the location correctly. I would recommend the airbnb

Amazing stay at Kent in Manuel Antonio. The apartment overlooks everything, and the sunsets from the balcony were absolutely stunning. Truly unforgettable.

The apartment is located on a private type of road and once you enter the place, you feel right in nature with an amazing pool and views. The apartment is very clean and the pool and area is serviced. Loved staying there and seeing so many animals. The only one thing to be aware is the road to get to the place is very bumpy and only one lane. Make sure you follow the exact instructions and voila, you have arrived.

We had a great stay here and would definitely recommend it. The view was unreal—easily one of the highlights of the trip. The place had everything we needed, and the pool was such a nice spot to chill after a day out. One of the best parts was the setting. You’re right in the middle of nature, and hearing all the wildlife (especially in the morning and evening) made it feel really special. Super peaceful, but still close enough to everything. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Would absolutely come back and recommend it to others.

The place was exactly as described, and we had a great stay. Ken was very helpful with providing information and always responded quickly. Our concierge, Vanessa, assisted us with booking tours and sharing helpful recommendations. Our kids especially enjoyed swimming in the pool and seeing the birds and lizards in their natural habitat. It was a wonderful experience being so close to the natural park. We would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a quiet, nature-focused getaway. Having a car is strongly recommended for getting around.

Man braucht unbedingt ein Auto mit Allrad , denn die Anfahrt ist schon herausfordernd, auch weil wir bei Dunkelheit angekommen sind! Der Pool ist wunderbar zum Schwimmen! Die Appartements sind so angekommen, dass keiner den Anderen stört ! Man wohnt mitten in der Natur mit vielen Vögeln und manchmal auch verspielten Äffchen ,
