We stayed at Villa Kanik for our 40th anniversary and it was delightful! We own an Airbnb and know how much work goes into making your guest's experience a memorable one, and they went over and beyond. Adriana and Katherine were in constant contact with us suggesting changes to our schedules, checking on us to and from outings, checking to see if we needed anything and generally letting us know that they were there for us with anything that we might want or need. Jussy cooked for us daily, cleaned and even did our laundry and she is a sweetheart! Her cooking was delicious and her demeanor was even better. We also loved Gabby who cooked for us a few times as well. Her meals were wonderful and she was a terrific! The house layout, the pool, the view, the privacy... I cannot say enough about how perfect it was. Read the guide and take their advice on activities, local restaurants and don't pass on an in-home massage! Thank you Villa Kanik!

Thank you Adriana, Katherine, and Jussy for an incredible experience! We had a group of 8 stay at this Airbnb for four days, and we enjoyed every moment of this vacation. The Villa Kanik team provided everything from clear communication, booking private tours, onsite cleaning, and delightful customer service. We booked three private appointments (whale watching, massages at the Airbnb, and private chef dinner), and the Villa Kanik team made sure everything was smooth and seamless. Our group left feeling refreshed and joyful! I highly recommend this Airbnb if you're looking for a private resort experience with a stress-free, relaxing environment. We hope to come back with more friends soon!

Villa Kanik was heaven on Earth! The house and surroundings could not have been more beautiful. There were lots of great restaurants and a grocery store (with everything we needed) a surprisingly short drive from the villa. The host was proactive with communication and super-responsive. The house was stocked with everything we could have needed and the cleaning service was fantastic. We could not have asked for more...we only wish we had stayed longer and we hope to return again, and again!

The stay at Villa Kanik was beyond exceptional! The hosts were so great and made our stay perfect. Great activities including ATV tours in the jungle, white water rafting, surfing, zip lining and off-shore fishing all nearby. We can’t wait to go back and would give it 10 stars if we could! The housekeeper, Jussy, was so kind and did a wonderful job and also cooked wonderful breakfast for us each day!

This place is incredible- it feels like something out of a movie. Absolutely beautiful surroundings. We saw monkeys and toucans from the yard. And Adriana had the best recommendations for activities and tour operators. Absolutely fantastic - can’t wait to come back!

We had an incredible stay at Patrick and Adriana's home. The house design, location, furnishings, view, and privacy were exactly what we had hoped for and more. Owners were readily available to assist with any issues at the home (grill issue which was resolved almost immediately) and provided connections for surf lessons, deep sea fishing, and transportation. Our family of 5 had a blast in Dominical, and this home was a wonderful place to wind down after adventuring each day. Daily housekeeping was a huge bonus as well!

This place is magical. Modern home surrounded by 360 degrees of jungle. Absolutely stunning. We loved lounging by the pool and took advantage of a couple private chef meals. We saw monkeys, toucans and other wildlife. The drive up the mountain is steep and is totally doable/worth it! - we had 4x4 and had no issues! It’s about a 5 min drive up from the base. Inside the beds and couches are so comfortable with great quality linens. We had plenty of space for our group of 7. Jussy the housekeeper is a hero - cleaning and doing laundry daily was such a treat. We felt secure and safe in the area and in the home. There is a gate to enter, locks and cameras - we felt very safe :)

The place was picture perfect and the location was great! The only negative thing we could say was the ice machine couldn’t keep up with the amount of guests. Which we were able to buy ice daily at the grocery store.

My friends and I had an incredible stay at Villa Kanik. Our host was consistently responsive and helpful from start to finish. The home itself is stunning, and the backdrop of Costa Rica is simply unbeatable. The highlight of our trip was the delicious meals prepared by the house cook and cleaner, Jussy. Her food and service were a genuine standout, and my friends and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite. We are already looking forward to our next trip to Costa Rica.

Best Birthday Trip Ever! I celebrated my birthday at this amazing villa and I can honestly say it was the best trip ever. From start to finish, everything was flawlessly arranged. Adriana was extremely responsive, addressing every request with care and understanding, providing the best recommnedations. Villa Kanik was so unique, absolutely modern and beautiful with breathtaking views and the peaceful sounds of Costa Rica. One of the highlights was the house cook, who made the most amazing Costa Rican breakfasts. Furthermore, she also provided complimentary cleaning so the house was always a breath of fresh air. Another highlight was the Chef's Dinner, that prepared an amazing dinner experience. Adriana and her team are fantastic, everything was so well arranged and punctual, and the home was so comfortable. My birthday trip was even more than I could have hoped for—relaxing, adventurous, and truly unforgettable, thanks to Villa Kanik and I cannot wait to return!
