Villa Malinche

This place is MAGICAL!! It’s the best AirBnB experience I’ve had. Thomas was an excellent host—very responsive, gave detailed directions (including photos to guide us there), and helped us coordinate excursions. This place is truly a paradise. We saw gorgeous macaws every day. There are porch chairs and lawn chairs to enjoy the private jungle area of the property, a very private pool, and a very functional kitchen. The hosts live on the property, but were never intrusive in any way. Some reviews reference spiders and scorpions inside the house, but I didn’t even see a single one outside—much less inside—the house during the 6 days I stayed there. This is a remarkable property, and I hope to book it again in the future so I can return to such a gorgeous, peaceful place.

Beautiful place, tons of nature and great hosts. We enjoyed everything about our stay. Thanks!

Our stay at Thomas and Lily’s Airbnb in Quepos, Manuel Antonio was absolutely incredible! The property is surrounded by lush nature and amazing wildlife. One of the highlights of our trip was spotting a sloth right in one of the trees at the house! This place truly feels like it’s straight out of a movie, with its beautiful, colorful vegetation and tropical atmosphere. Every corner is peaceful and breathtaking. Thomas was an exceptional host—extremely friendly, welcoming, and always available to help. He provides detailed guides with everything you need for your stay, from the best restaurants to tours and local recommendations, making it so easy to enjoy the area. If you’re looking for a magical place to stay in Manuel Antonio that combines comfort, nature, and outstanding hospitality, this is it. We would definitely stay here again! 🌴🦥🌺

Thomas and Lilli’s villa was STUNNING!!! It was kept in immaculate shape considering the fact that it was right in the middle of the jungle. Thomas is one of the best Airbnb hosts I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting - he’s so thoughtful, accommodating, and genuinely wants to help. He gave excellent restaurant and activity tips that truly made our trip even better. The views were absolutely phenomenal. Be warned - the drive up might be little intimidating at first, but we found it pretty easy to get the hang of. Also, we had some rather unwelcome visitors at night (spiders and scorpions), but that can be well avoided by making sure the lights are turned off at night. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and highly recommend it!

Thomas was lovely from start to finish. The accommodation matches the photos - very nice with a sublime view of the ocean and nature. The shared swimming pool is less than a 20-meter walk away, in the middle of nature; it's beautiful. We saw lots of animals from the accommodation - a toucan at breakfast, howler monkeys at sunrise, which we went to see, macaws, monkeys in the trees around the apartment... in short, it was almost as if we were in a nature park, a real joy! I will definitely go back when I come back to the area.

Thomas & Lili’s villa was amazing, excellent communication from hosts, space was lovely and the pool access and gardens made the experience very relaxing. We stayed for 5 nights and would totally stay again 🫶🏻

What an incredibly unique space and experience. Situated at the top of a hill, this space has an incredible view of the lush green space around. We woke up every morning, immediately opened the blinds and doors, and listened to the wildlife outside. We saw toucans, macaws, many other birds, and a troop of squirrel monkeys that passed right through the main big beautiful tree on the property! It was absolutely magical watching them. They weren’t there every morning, but we still ended up seeing more wildlife than in Manuel Antonio NP (we didn’t do a guided tour) The layout of the interior space is beautiful, uniquely designed and a fun orientation. Feng Shui was on point! Be prepared for harmless geckos roaming around, they are cute do not crawl over your stuff or bed, and only on the walls and ceilings.

This place was even BETTER than the photos. Thomas greeted us upon arrival and Lili helped coordinate the best excursions. I wish we had more time here!

Amazing place!! Feels like paradise everyday! Great host! Deff recommend if you want peace, privacy, and a beautiful view to wake up to everyday!

This was the most magical place we have ever stayed. Located on a hill overlooking the ocean and jungle- the views and wildlife were absolutely breathtaking. During our morning coffee we had macaws, toucans, tanagers, a porcupine, plus all manner of other birds. The property is located in a green zone close to Manuel Antonio. Marina and local restaurants are close by. We didn’t want to leave. Heaven on earth! Thank you to Thomas and family for a wonderful stay.
