A private 4BR jungle villa with a plunge pool, open-air living, and a separate guest casita. Walk to dining and shops in Manuel Antonio, with beaches and the national park a short ride away.
The Space
Escape to Tango Mango, a private boutique jungle villa in the heart of Manuel Antonio. Surrounded by tropical gardens, this Balinese-inspired retreat offers open-air living, a private plunge pool, air-conditioned bedrooms, and a separate guest casita.
Restaurants, cafés, shops, grocery options, and public transportation are all within walking distance. The beaches and Manuel Antonio National Park are just a short drive or bus ride away. The villa is ideal for couples while accommodating up to eight guests, with personal Escape Villas concierge service available throughout your stay.
Tango Mango is designed for travelers who want to experience the tropical character of Manuel Antonio while remaining close to local conveniences. Set along a quiet private road, the property combines Balinese-inspired design, handcrafted details, and relaxed indoor-outdoor living.
Large openings connect the kitchen and living area to the spacious front deck, bringing in fresh air, tropical breezes, and the sounds of nature. Outside, the private plunge pool provides a refreshing place to cool off after exploring the area. Tropical landscaping, lounge seating, a porch swing, and outdoor dining create an intimate garden setting for leisurely mornings, afternoon relaxation, and meals surrounded by nature.
The accommodations are divided between the main house, an open loft, and a separate guest casita:
- Two air-conditioned bedrooms are located in the main house.
- The fan-cooled loft provides additional sleeping space within the villa’s open tropical design.
- The detached, air-conditioned guest casita offers extra privacy for couples, grandparents, or friends traveling together.
The flexible layout accommodates up to eight guests while remaining well suited to couples and smaller groups. The property is always reserved exclusively for your group, regardless of the number of guests.
Monkeys, macaws, tropical birds, lizards, insects, and other local wildlife may pass through the surrounding neighborhood and gardens. These encounters are a natural part of staying in the Manuel Antonio rainforest.

This house was exactly as pictured and had more than enough space for the five of us. The patio area was our favorite place to spend time, with beautiful landscaping, tropical flowers and plants, comfortable outdoor furniture, a wading pool, and a large table where we could enjoy dining outside. We especially loved the open-air design of the home, which let in the fresh air and gentle breezes while allowing us to enjoy the sounds of nature. One morning, we even had a special visit from howler monkeys! The host was warm, friendly, and very responsive throughout our stay. We had a wonderful experience and would happily stay here again.

We had such a great stay here. The place is beautiful and really does feel like you’re right in the middle of the rainforest. Waking up to capuchin monkeys and a macaw outside in the morning was unreal — one of my favorite parts of the trip. The loft was a dream and stayed nice and cool at night. The A/Cs in the rooms worked perfectly and kept us comfortable even on the really hot days. Our outdoor shower was gorgeous, and the casita (while small) had everything we needed as a couple. Walking up to the entrance at night felt like stepping into a dream. The mango tango was also a dream. Our host was super friendly and easy to communicate with the whole time. Overall it was an awesome experience and we’d come back in a heartbeat.

We had an incredible stay in Manuel Antonio and would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area! The property is beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. We loved waking up to visits from monkeys, colorful lizards, and even a friendly cat who made us feel right at home. It was such a unique Costa Rican experience. Our host, Andrés, went above and beyond to make our trip special. Extra linens were already provided, and he even helped arrange grocery shopping before we arrived, which made settling in effortless. He also recommended the Ocean King Catamaran tour, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our vacation. We had an amazing time! If you’re looking for a relaxing stay with outstanding hospitality and an authentic Manuel Antonio experience, this is the place. We can’t wait to come back!

We loved our stay at Mango Tango! So much so, that I plan to stay here every time we return in the future. This cozy home is simply beautiful, well-appointed, and organized. It honestly looks better than the pictures. The courtyard provides privacy and the little guesthouse was perfect for my adult daughter. Our concierge, Andres was kind and helpful. Everything was wonderful!

We absolutely loved our stay at Tango Mango! Highly recommend walking to places for lunch or dinner from Tango Mango, there were so many delicious options with breathtaking views. Many hours were spent on the swings and outdoor spaces at this home. The roads were quite mountainous to the villa so although a 4x4 vehicle is not necessary, it would be helpful. Our tiny Geely rental was not happy trekking up and down those hills! Andres made everything easy for check in and was always available to answer questions. We loved our stay and would love to come back!

We loved this quiet and peaceful oasis. It was very comfortable, and we really enjoyed the indoor/outdoor space. We especially loved the patio with the swinging bench and hammock. The space is tastefully and thoughtfully furnished, with plenty of dishes, pillows, linens, towels, soap, shampoo, and a washer and dryer (which really came in handy). We didn’t use the loft as it was too hot for us to sleep without AC and it had a few too many critters for our comfort. Carlos and Andres were responsive to our concerns and took care to make us comfortable. They also helped arrange some great adventures around Manuel Antonio. It’s a short walk to many restaurants and the Mercadito Gastronomico, which the kids loved. We felt peaceful and relaxed at Casa Tango Mango. Highly recommend.

My husband and I loved our stay here! We spent a lot of time outdoors near the pool and saw tons of monkeys and birds. The hosts are super helpful with suggestions on recommendations and activities. Easily one of the best airbnbs we’ve stayed at!
