Paloma House/Sunset & Ocean View/Breakfast Included* - Houses for Rent in Quepos, Provincia de Puntarenas, Costa Rica

I can’t say enough amazing things about this stay! Everything about it was absolutely breathtaking! Daily cleaning service was so nice to have, they did our laundry, we had breakfast delivered every morning, and we saw tons of wildlife! Wilber was the friendliest person I met in Costa Rica! He took the time to show me around the property and point out all the animals! He even came to get me from the room to show me the baby sloth in front of the property so I could see one up close! We also saw monkeys, toucans, scarlet macaws, sloths, deer, lizards, frogs, and so much more. While the price of the stay seems a little steep, it is worth every penny! This is by far the best stay I’ve ever had and I would come back here 1000x over! It’s walkable to popular restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, and pharmacies. I definitely recommend booking your stay here!!!

We had an amazing 8 night stay at Paloma. We saw SO many animals everyday- sloth swinging right above our pool, monkeys swinging and playing in the trees, scarlet macaws, toucans! The housekeeping and breakfast was lovely, as was Wilbur who showed us animals everyday night. The location was perfect we could walk to restaurants and souvenirs and stores and an easy 3-5 mins to 2 beaches. We couldn’t wait to get home everyday and see the beautiful sunset from our pool! We will be back!

Thank you for taking the time to share your wonderful 8-night experience at Paloma. We are delighted to hear that our property provided the perfect backdrop for your vacation, from the daily wildlife sightings to the stunning sunsets by the pool. Providing excellent hospitality through our housekeeping, fresh breakfast, and Wilbert’s dedicated animal-spotting is our top priority. We are glad our convenient proximity to the beaches and local restaurants added to your stay. We truly appreciate your loyalty and look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

The house was beyond our expectations. It was perfect for our family of 4. Great location, clean, gorgeous inside and out!  Concierge was responsive and helpful planning our excursions, pickup to and from airport, in home chef, etc!  They truly have the motto of Pura Vida!  So much wild life around you!  We are obsessed with the beautiful birds, monkeys and the precious sloth that was over our pool the whole stay!!  Such a wonderful trip!

Excellent stay at Casa Paloma. Clean, spacious. Walkable to great restaurants. Animals everywhere on the property. Wilberth the concierge showed us some animals we wouldn't normally have seen like a baby sloth and a kinkajou! Highly recommend, would absolutely stay here again.

This is one of the most amazing places I have ever stayed- you cannot beat the views of ocean and jungle. Every morning my family and I would search the trees near property to find the sloth. The house itself is a great set up for large group or family, the daily breakfast and cleaning service were fantastic. So many delicious restaurants within walking distance and an easy short Uber ride or drive to all of the beaches, etc.

There isn’t enough space for me to write what I want. There is absolutely nothing negative about casa Paloma! The view….spectacular. This home was magical. I cried the second I walked up the steps. This place was everything I wanted for my family and our first time in Costa Rica. The wildlife..monkeys, sloths and even a porcupine visited the property! The staff, Chris and Wilbert..exceptional!! They made our stay that much better! I will forever hold a special spot in my heart for this place. It was truly a dream come true. We will be back 100% and couldn’t imagine staying anywhere else!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this breathtaking review! Wilbert and I are absolutely thrilled to hear that we could help make your dream vacation come true. Casa Paloma truly has a magical energy, and we love that the spectacular views and the wildlife visits made such a lasting impression on your family. Hearing that you couldn't imagine staying anywhere else means the world to us. See you next time! Pura Vida Dear Tracie🙏

We absolutely loved our time here. The view is incredible, literally breathtaking. We saw lots of beautiful wildlife from our outdoor space, like sloths, toucans, and macaws. We never saw monkeys from our outdoor space specifically, but we saw them around the property, and on the last day Wilbur (who is amazing, so friendly and kind) brought us to a different area of the property where we saw a group of about 10 capuchin monkeys playing and jumping around. We’ve seen monkeys before, of course, but to see them in their natural habitat was entirely different. Magical! This was a special family trip and Casa Paloma delivered 100%. It’s probably one of our favorite homes ever, and we were sad to leave.

One of the best Airbnbs I have stayed at. The place is even better than the pictures. Breakfast was amazing. Saw a bunch of wildlife. The neighborhood is great - bunch of restaurants and stores and is walkable. I will definitely come back.

Wonderful place and location under the trees with a distant view of the ocean from deck. Loved sitting out with a cup of coffee in the morning, listening to the birds. And there was a sloth in the tree a couple of the nights!

Best view you will find. We were seriously amazing every time we walked out the door. Like others said, you will see more wildlife here than the park. The macaws were thrilling as were the three sloths we saw. Same for two kinds of monkeys, toucans, and all the parrots you could imagine. Spaces were better than pictured. Wilberth was an expert spotter and arranged our tours which saved us so much headache! If you are considering tours - I recommend the Isla Cano snorkeling tour over the shorter closer tour. Much more to see and a special experience. But even the closer tour was an A plus operation. The night time tour was just okay - the Efrain tour company was late for pickup and we ended up with a group of 14 instead of seven. But we still saw snakes, frogs, deer.

Absolutely perfect!  We stayed in the villa by the concierge office.  It was wonderful!  The place was clean and was exactly as described and pictured.  As other reviewers noted, we saw more wildlife from our pool deck than we did on the hikes in the Manuel Antonio park.  We saw toucans, macaws, monkeys, iguanas, humming birds, and most amazingly: sloths up close.  One sloth traveled across our pool deck hanging on to the green rope to the tree and remained there overnight.  Everything about this villa was great.  We have no complaints.  The breakfast was very good and brought in a timely manner.  The concierge team was very helpful and responsive.  We would gladly come back again, and already started deliberating when we can return.  We highly recommend this place.

Great sunset view! Pool was great for our kids. Big deck with lots of room to relax. Breakfast was a nice touch. Also, the laundry service was very helpful. The chef was nice, and would be good for a large group all looking to eat the same thing. Loved the wildlife in the trees and nearby. Toucans, parrots, lizards, monkeys, and sloths.

Where to begin!  From the time we booked to the time we left, Christopher and Wilber were very welcoming and helpful about EVERYTHING!  They made recommendations for trips, places to eat, beaches to go to, adventures to go on.  I know it was all part of the AltaVista package, but I still feel they went above and beyond.  The home we stayed in, The Poloma, was just simply stunning with beautiful views!  This was our first trip to Costa Rica and we want to go back!  Our first day was not great due to traffic and construction, but AltaVista made up for it with just everything that was offered.  On a side note, we all felt that Wilber was the animal whisperer because anytime we asked to see monkeys, he would say they would be there shortly with a wink, and within minutes, there they were!!  We actually saw more wildlife at our place then we did at the national park, crazy!  And probably the best sunsets ever experienced!  Overall, 10/10 WOULD recommend!!! Best trip ever!

Perfect location and beautiful view of the ocean. The cleaning staff and security guard Wilbert were excellent.

House overall is as good or better than the pictures . Beautiful grounds and house itself . Out door area , deck pool area looking at ocean breathtaking. Host was great and housekeeping with breakfast daily was wonderful . Only negative was the pool lights - inside the pool - didn’t work unfortunately, would have been nice as we used the pool every night . Monkeys visited every night about the same time . Nature at its best for sure !

Thank you for your fantastic review! We are so pleased that the house and grounds exceeded your expectations and that you found our outdoor deck and pool area breathtaking. Regarding the pool lights, we are sorry they were not working during your stay. We have addressed this maintenance issue and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We're glad you still made great use of the pool every night and enjoyed the monkeys visiting—nature truly is at its best here. Pura Vida!!

Beautiful hotel residence with breakfast served at the villa. You are renting a villa in a small complex of 3-4 houses. The people are very nice, caring and the setting is beautiful. The villa is very functional and complete for cooking and a grocery store within walking distance and several convenience stores. Real grocery store 10 min by car. The beach is a bit far on foot, not in km but because of the hills and the heat. Very nice family stay for us.

Magnifique résidence hôtel avec petit déjeuner servi à la villa. Vous louez une villa ds un petit complexe de 3-4 maisons. Les gens sont très gentils, attentionnés et le cadre est magnifique. La villa est très fonctionnelle et complète pour cuisiner et une épicerie proche à pied et plusieurs dépanneurs. Vrai épicerie à 10 min en auto. Plage est un peu loin à pied, pas en km mais à cause des côtes et de la chaleur. Tres beau séjour en famille pour nous

"Merci beaucoup" for the glowing review! We're so happy you and your family enjoyed your stay at our property. We truly appreciate your comments on the lovely setting, the functional villa, and our attentive staff. We hope to see you again soon! Pura Vida !!

Incredible place. As soon as we got there I canceled all the sunset dinner reservations I’d made because I knew the best sunset would be from our own patio. We saw more wildlife here than we did in Manuel Antonio National Park! Two species of monkeys, anteater, mom and baby sloth, toucans, scarlet macaws, and parakeets. Absolutely gorgeous and we enjoyed spending every evening and many mornings on the patio. The house itself is huge, comfortable and clean. Walkable to a lot of restaurants & easy parking. Loved the breakfast every day. Would definitely stay here again!

Thank you so much for your incredible review! It is truly amazing that you were able to spot even more wildlife from our patio than at the National Park. We couldn't agree more—the monkeys, sloths, and macaws really are the best neighbors to wake up to! We are also thrilled that you chose our patio as your go-to sunset spot; those views are truly one-of-a-kind. One of the things our guests love most is our prime location. Being right in the heart of Manuel Antonio means you have easy walking access to the area's best restaurants, unique souvenir shops, and local amenities, making it a breeze to explore without needing a car. We would love to welcome you back for another stay in paradise soon. Pura Vida!

The villa is absolutely AMAZING! we saw lots of beautiful animals. we had monkeys, sloths, iguanas, parrots, tucans. the view is fantastic and the whole place itself was perfect for our family holiday. the seevice from the host was super friendly. our host Wilmer was super helpful, kind, informative. thanks so much for a wonderful stay. we will be recommending this villa to all pur friends.

Thank you so much for your incredible review! We are thrilled to hear that you found the villa absolutely AMAZING!! We are especially proud of our team, and we'll be sure to pass along your kind words to the host, Wilbert, who was happy to be super helpful, kind, and informative It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate you recommending our villa to your friends. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future, Pura Vida!!

Excellent comfortable stay for our family of five. The wildlife encounters on property exceeded expectations with sloths (including a baby), monkeys, macaws, toucans, hummingbirds, iguanas. It felt very private as all villas orient toward the Pacific. Many walkable restaurants, cafes. The parking was never an issue. The included breakfast was a supreme perk. We took advantage of the private chef experience and it was a stellar meal after a long day excursion. The kitchen was well equipped; their blender was as powerful as a Vitamix if you like fresh fruit ice smoothies.  Wilberth was very responsive for concierge needs well in advance of the stay. Solid WiFi.

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're thrilled your family of five had such an excellent stay. We love that the on-property wildlife encounters exceeded your expectations and that you appreciated the privacy and Pacific views. The private chef experience sounds like it was a perfect cap to your day! We appreciate the kind words about the well-equipped kitchen and Wilberth's responsive concierge service. We hope to welcome you back to paradise soon!

This was the perfect spot for our tropical getaway! The location was amazing with tons of restaurants, shops, coffee shops and even zip lining within walking distance. And the views were amazing with a family of sloths hanging in the tree next to our house all week, scarlet macaws, monkeys and howler monkeys all visiting each day too. The house itself was beautiful and fully equipped for an afternoon in during the raining season. And of course, AC! The entire staff was friendly, communicative and very helpful! We would love to come back if we get the chance!

We stayed for 2 nights and met all our expectations and more. Wilbert our host was responsive, showed us the Sloths and around the beautiful property. Gave us great recommendations for Jetski’s and we took full advantage and had a blast. They pick you up right at the property and it’s a 5 minute drive. They have a guide that goes with you and shows you around to stay in safe areas to Jetski. Great restaurants and bars in walking distance and if you have to drive more restaurants very close by. The views were amazing, especially the upper house ,the pool was great , the space was awesome. Beds were comfortable, ac works great , and a convenient store across the street. We would recommend El Avion restaurant. Great food options for all ages and lots a views for great pictures. All in all we will be returning and will stay at the same location. Wilbert will take good care of you and make sure you have an amazing experience. We thank you all for an amazing time!!

Beautiful house with beautiful view! We had close up views of mother and baby sloth in the tree right in front of the deck. The house had everything we needed and was very clean and comfortable!

A place with a super nice view, it is an ideal space for families who want to have a good time together, the house is very nice and the service is very good! My family and I had a great time

Un lugar con una vista súper linda, es un espacio ideal para familias que quieran pasar un buen rato juntos, la casa es muy linda y la atención muy buena! Mi familia y yo lo pasamos genial

Our stay at Alta Vista was truly unforgettable! The house itself was absolutely stunning—spacious, exactly as shown in the photos, and so comfortable. We loved waking up to incredible views and being surrounded by nature. One of the highlights was having little visitors right on our porch—playful monkeys, a sloth with her baby, and so many gorgeous birds. It felt magical! The staff was wonderful, and the daily housekeeping made our stay so relaxing. We also really appreciated the laundry service and the delicious daily breakfast. Everything we wanted to do was close by, which made it the perfect location for exploring. It was truly the trip of a lifetime, and we’re so grateful we got to experience it here. Highly recommend!

The accommodation is super charming and very welcoming, nestled in an incredible natural setting. On the property, we had the chance to see sloths, parrots, toucans and even monkeys, a real paradise The concierge is lovely, always available and attentive to our needs, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. As a bonus, breakfast is included, delicious and very convenient to start the day. I highly recommend this magical place, perfect for a relaxing and unforgettable stay.

Le logement est super charmant et très accueillant, niché dans un cadre naturel incroyable. Sur la propriété, nous avons eu la chance d’apercevoir des paresseux, des perroquets, des toucans et même des singes, un vrai paradis Le concierge est adorable, toujours disponible et attentif à nos besoins, ce qui rend l’expérience encore plus agréable. En prime, le petit déjeuner est inclus, délicieux et très pratique pour bien commencer la journée. Je recommande vivement ce lieu magique, parfait pour un séjour dépaysant et inoubliable.

We had an amazing stay at Alta Vista Casa Paloma.  Willbert and Christopher were always helpful.  House looked exactly like the pictures.  It was awesome having housekeeping every day.  Everyone was friendly.  Breakfast was always on time and good.  Chef dinner was great (and a lot of food - don’t eat lunch!).  We had monkeys visiting.  Seeing the parrots and toucans daily was wonderful.   Restaurants were walkable.  As others said, road is a bit noisy, but the house walls were very insulated.  I would highly recommend staying here.  View was incredible!

Perfect accommodations for three couples! The deck and wildlife was the highlight for us - we were entertained with macaws, white faced monkeys, squirrel monkeys, a toucan, and a sloth family almost every evening. The mama and baby sloth were the best! The excursions arranged through Alta Vista were extremely convenient with pickup and drop off on site. Daily housekeeping was awesome and having laundry done for us mid-week was very helpful. Wilberth went above and beyond by walking the grounds with us and pointing out wildlife and plants. Great walkable restaurants or everything you need onsite to cook your own meals. Would definitely recommend Alta Vista for those visiting Costa Rica!

Incredible stay! Beautiful home with a great location. We did the private chef and in home massages while we were there. Both so worth it! I would highly recommend.

We stayed here our last four nights in Costa Rica with our children. It is right off a main road so it made it super convenient to walk to most shops and restaurants. The pool is a little on the smaller side but our kids still thoroughly enjoyed being able to jump in every day. The views are breathtaking from the deck and we got daily visits from toucans, monkeys, and macaws. The staff was very kind and breakfast was good every morning. We used the laundry service and they did a great job with our clothes. Would recommend this home to anyone going to MA.

Absolutely Stunning Stay in Costa Rica! Altavista was everything we hoped for and more. The home was pristine, beautifully maintained, and the outdoor infinity pool quickly became our favorite spot ...as we looked out into the lush jungle and ocean views. The location is unbeatable for those wanting to be in the heart of the action. There are so many open-air restaurants nearby, many with seating right on the water 💦 it’s easy to hop from one great spot to the next (though we wanted to try them all, that could add up fast, but we had out own retreat! We spent plenty of time just enjoying the serenity of the back deck, soaking up the sights and sounds of the jungle. Our host Wilbur, was always happy to show us the next wild animal in the jungle. Aka~ ￼ mama sloth holding her baby on her tummy slowly walking by us! The hosts were also responsive whenever we needed anything. Regretfully, I did not see the other properties in person! I bet they are great!

This a really nice place.  The perks of a hotel including daily housekeeping, delivered breakfast and a concierge made it better than a typical Airbnb.  We had our best animal sightings of our vacation at the property itself.  Plenty of monkeys, and a sloth with its baby clinging to it were highlights.  Toucans and macaws as well.  The villa itself is spacious with modern amenities.  I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting CR.  Especially if the local animals are your biggest draw.

Alta Vista Villas exceeded our expectations. It is a beautiful home with a beautiful view! The layout was just perfect, rooms were big and lots of bathrooms. The house was very clean and organized. Most importantly, we spent hours on the deck looking at the view, time in pool and watching the wildlife. Who needs to go on a wildlife tour when you stay at Alta Vista - We saw two different kinds of monkeys, a sloth & baby, scarlet macaws and more. Great location as you can walk to grocery store, liquor store and restaurants. Christopher was responsive and organized tours for us and restaurant recommendations. There was even one free laundry included - bonus. We loved this house and would stay here again if we return.

This was a great place to stay. We loved the sloth, monkeys and birds. Very relaxing on the deck next to the pool.

This is a beautiful home and if you want to see much of the wildlife in the area then this is the place to be! With the deck so high up you can see all kinds of wildlife including monkeys, scarlet macaws, toucans, and so much more! We regularly had monkeys on our deck and hanging out in the trees above the house. One word of warning - the house is directly across the street from a pretty busy and lively bar and is right along a very busy road so there is quite a bit of road noise and partying noise at night if you’re outside. For the most part the noise wasn’t an issue inside the house.

Our group of 4 adults (1 couple and 2 separate individuals) and 2 children had an amazing stay here at La Paloma in Alta Vista. The view was spectacular, pool clean and refreshing, breakfasts were delicious, there was plenty of wildlife just outside the house, and the service from concierge Wilberth and Chris and housekeeping was excellent. The house backs right onto the main street but the design has the bathrooms at the back so we didn’t have any trouble with road noise for sleeping and it’s very private.  I would definitely stay here again when my family comes to visit.  Thanks to the entire team at Alta Vista for a fabulous stay!!

The listing was just as the photos and info stated.   The Concierge was proactive, responsive, helpful and super friendly.   We could walk to the grocery store and restaurants.  All of our tours picked up right at our location.   The beaches were a short drive and had many options.  We saw sloths, spider monkeys and all kind of wildlife and had the most beautiful view.   The pool was so nice to have and use on the hot days and the covered porch was perfect when the rain came in the afternoon.   The breakfast and maid service was the best - always on time, did such a fantastic job and were friendly.  We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.  Thank you!

We stayed in AltaVista for 3 nights. The location was absolutely stunning as it overlooked a bay. The swimming pool and deck area were fantastic and had an amazing view. The house was very spacious, clean and had a well equipped kitchen. I highly recommend this place

Lovely home!! Four adults and three kids for a week were very comfortable. Stunning patio and view over the pool to the ocean. Concierge was so helpful and included breakfast was delicious. Wildlife right out our front door! Walkable to groceries, liquor store and restaurants. Needed a taxi to get to the beach.

Great Stay, perfect place. Would only book this place if I came back to Costa Rica. Monkeys and sloths are in the trees in the backyard in the mornings. Super cool. 5 Star

Beautiful place overlooking the ocean We had monkeys and sloths hanging out around the pool area! Several nice restaurants and coffee shops right outside the gate

The Villa was great, Chris and his team took good care of us! The Breakfast that was included was excellent!

We had an amazing trip. Costa Rica is magical! The house was spotless when we arrived and housekeeping did a great job coming in and tidying up every day. The breakfast was good, we really like that it was brought over fresh and at the time we requested. The views are amazing and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. If we needed anything we sent a message through whats app and within a few minutes they were at our door. The beach is a far walk, but we had a rental car so we drove. We would definitely stay here again.

If I could give this place 100 stars, I would. The Airbnb itself was amazing but the location was spectacular. We had monkeys come right to the porch and drink out of the pool. There was a sloth living there that we saw every night. The local Macaws came every morning. The staff were very responsive to all of our questions and extremely friendly!!  We loved this place. It made our trip to Quepos incredible!

We loved the villa and the location. Definitely great restaurants around and lots of animals came to the property. We had a great time here

Amazing view! Monkeys, macaws, and even a sloth. Staff and service was outstanding!

We booked this last minute and was so fortunate to have chosen this property!  Best sunset in all of Manuel Antonio right from our deck.  Wildlife at our doorstep - macaws nest, monkeys, iguanas!  Lovely staff which is unusual for an Airbnb. Daily cleaning and a delicious breakfast included. We travel a lot and are happy to report that this may have been our favorite property! The location is convenient with anything you need within a quick walk including wonderful restaurants.  There is a nightclub nearby which plays loud music but it stops at 11pm and there is some road noise.  However, do not let those inconveniences stop you from booking this property!  You will not regret it. We will be back!

Beautiful view, and extremely central. The house staff cleaned daily which was a perk!  Our privacy was respected and would recommend this luxury home. Only downside which was not communicated was the construction next door. This is something out of everyone’s control and pretty common in Costa Rica but we didn’t let it get us down. We were visited by a family of moneys and macaws which was a highlight. My friends and I enjoyed this home very much! Muchas Gracias!

We had the absolute best time at AltaVista in Costa Rica! Quepos is an amazing area and the concierge team was so helpful in coordinating activities for my whole family to do! We ziplined, road horses, snorkeled, enjoyed the national park and so much more. Plus the view from the place is unbeatable. I would recommend this airbnb to anyone! We hope to be back soon!

A Luxurious and Unforgettable Stay Our stay at Alta Vista’s in Costa Rica was magical. This stunning Airbnb offers breathtaking views and an incredible opportunity to experience the country’s wildlife right from your private balcony—spider monkeys, a sloth, macaws, and agouti were regular visitors. The property is pure luxury, complete with a private pool that provided the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the amazing scenery. The accommodations were top-notch, with comfortable beds, daily Maid Service, and a helpful concierge team. Breakfast served every morning and the convenience of laundry service made the stay even better. Hiring a private chef for three nights was a highlight—absolutely worth it! While there was some road noise, it was a small tradeoff for the incredible views and overall experience. The Alta Vista team also made everything easy, from organizing excursions to arranging shuttles. We highly recommend Alta Vista’s for a luxurious, private, and unforgettable getaway!

The pictures don’t do this place justice! Such a stunning location with wildlife all around. The house and the hosts were excellent, and would definitely go again.

I had the pleasure of staying at AltaVista's Casa Paloma in Manuel Antonio, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a breathtaking view of the surrounding jungle and ocean. The villa itself is a perfect blend of luxury and nature, offering spacious, beautifully decorated rooms that made us feel right at home. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to enjoy meals with a view, and the outdoor living spaces were perfect for both dining and lounging. The location is unbeatable – tucked away in nature, yet just a short drive to the world-famous Manuel Antonio National Park and nearby beaches. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed and offering excellent recommendations for local activities.

Amazing house with the most serene view I have ever seen. This is by far the best house I have stayed in.

Casa Paloma was amazing. The photos don’t do it justice and Wilberth and team were so helpful, responsive and friendly during booking and during our stay. Our multi generational family of 6 had plenty family space and individual retreat space. The deck and pool were our favorite to watch the wildlife. We saw monkeys, sloths, macaws, toucans, iguanas, all from the deck. The house was well positioned between Quepos and Manuel Antonio, making our adventures very easy to get to. We will absolutely be back - definitely recommend Casa Paloma and AltaVista to anyone visiting the area.

Pictures didn’t do it justice. Beautiful place and great staff.

We could go on and on about our wonderful stay. The Villa's staff was so friendly and responsive, that we never wanted for anything. The villa itself was spacious, clean, cool, and so comfortable, with every need met. But, the very best part of our stay was all of the wildlife we witnesses from the beauty of private front lanai. A family of sloths, full flocks of scarlet macaws, a little capuchin monkey crew, and so much more. The views were breathtaking. What a way to wake up... Complimentary breakfast delivered to your table, making a cup of delicious coffee and watching the morning come up over the Pacific Ocean! Our stay here was-- by FAR-- the very best part of our trip. We would highly recommend to anyone!

Our family of 6 had an incredible stay here! Absolutely gorgeous views! The house was so clean and had everything we needed. So spacious with all the right amenities and comfy beds. The outdoor area was perfect and we loved having the pool. The concierge and housekeeping team were amazing! We had a delicious homemade breakfast delivered to us every morning. The daily housekeeping and laundry service multiple times in the week was such a convenient bonus. Lots of restaurants and grocery stores right there to walk to. The wildlife you see is just so special! Multiple sightings of Scarlet Macaws every day, the sweet sloth, agouti, toucans and the cutest lizards! We loved Costa Rica so much and would stay here again! Thank you so much Chris, Wilbur and your team for your kindness and making our stay so special!

We had an amazing stay at Casa Paloma! Our family of four had more than enough room to spread out comfortably and we enjoyed every minute! Each day included visits from sloths, parrots, and more. The view is incredible, especially those sunsets. We loved that we could walk to several great restaurants in just minutes, and it was also easy to get to the beach and all the activities we wanted to do. Christopher was very helpful in arranging our itinerary, and Casa Paloma was a great house to come home to after a day of hiking, kayaking, etc. We loved the pool, hammock, etc. and felt like the birds swooping through the air were putting on a private show for us each morning and evening! We would definitely stay here again on a return trip to Quepos!

We are a family of 7 and we chose Casa Paloma for its location, breakfast, and concierge service in addition to the great view and house layout.   We did this trip without renting a car and it worked out great.  AltaVista arranged private transport for our family from/to San Jose airport to the villa.  The local bus stops nearby for a quick ride to the beach or other locations between Quepos and MA National Park.  It's cheap (less than a USD per person) and felt totally safe.  Also there are many restaurants and super markets within walking distance.  Breakfast was delicious everyday and had enough options to satisfy everyone.  The wildlife viewing from the back porch was amazing.  Sloths and parrots right above the pool everyday.  Tucans, iguanas, and one monkey visit.   There is so much to do in the area but just hanging out on the back porch was fantastic.  A/Cs worked well and sliding glass doors let you commune with nature in the mornings.  The road can be a bit noisy at times.

Beautiful house. There was a sloth living in the tree above the pool. Everything we wanted.

The views from Casa Paloma are incredible, no issues to get to the beach without a car, really easy tu Uber/taxi/bus your way to he beach. We saw no less than 2 and up to 10 macaws daily from our terrace, some even came up close to eat from the almendro tree right by the pool. I’d Def recommend and will stay again if ever in the area.

The villa had an amazing view and provided plenty of space for us 5. As many others we had the good fortune of having wildlife directly in front of us which made the property even more special. The Altavista team was all super friendly and helpful . One area of improvement would be the breakfast as it often arrived cold or was inconsistent in quality but other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely stunning location with the most amazing views and visits from wildlife. The home was pristine and the breakfast provided was delicious!

Lovely home with gorgeous view. Responsive host, super easy to schedule outings. We found many restaurant options in the neighborhood. Wood absolutely recommend

Our family of 6 enjoyed our 5 nights here!  Wilbur was so helpful with booking our guided tour at the national park.  We loved watching the Macaws flying around and the monkeys were all over the resort.  We especially loved the momma and baby sloth that lived in the tree at our resort.  It was so sweet!  Thanks for a great family trip to Manuel Antonio!

Staying here was so beautiful and easy. They arranged anything we wanted to do in the area and made sure we were taken care of.   At first I didn’t think we were going to get to see the monkeys but on day 3 a whole army of monkeys came rolling in and played on the patio and pool.   It was amazing.

Excellent work experience. 10/10. Will definitely rent again

This day was beyond our expectations. The home was beautiful. The view indescribable. And the staff was kind and helpful and made our stay. Highly highly highly recommend.

This was a dream come true! The home is even more stunning than the pictures. We saw more wildlife at our home than even the national park. We were visited by macaws and a family of monkeys everyday. We also were lucky enough to have a family of sloths living in the tree directly above our porch. Every excursion was planned by concierge who gave us a full itinerary. Every experience we had on this trip exceeded our expectations from the food, ziplining, the catamaran, the home, the cleanliness, the staff, the location, and the views. I couldn’t have asked for a better trip for our group. I will be recommending this home to everyone I know and hopefully will be returning!!!

Chris and his team took phenomenal care of our family of 4 while we stayed in Manuel Antonio. We rented Casa Paloma and the house was impeccably clean, had a well stocked kitchen, mattresses were super comfy, linens and towels were excellent. Chris set up all of our excursions with the best teams and responded immediately with any questions or requests. Aside from the house being so well appointed, we enjoyed monkeys, macaws and umpteen bird species.  Shops and restaurants were a 5 minute walk. Highly recommend.

The place is beautiful.  The views from the deck and pool are stunning.  Communication with Chris and his staff was excellent.  Overall an outstanding stay.

As beautiful as this place looks in the pictures, the pictures really don’t do it justice. The view is incredible, the interior is spacious and gorgeous. Everything is immaculately clean. The breakfast in the morning is delicious. The staff is responsive and extremely helpful. The location is perfect with several excellent restaurants about a block away. There’s even a little ice cream store as well as a bunch of cute shops. The beaches are all about five minutes away driving and there are zip line tours, and any nature thing you might want to do with kids is very close.  Although you may not have to go anywhere to get to the nature because the nature comes to you. We were visited by huge Macaws, iguanas, monkeys, tiny lizards, and squirrels. It’s absolutely heaven, we didn’t want to leave!  Highly recommend!!

Lovely house. Private and very spacious and practical. Smart layout house. It is all set in the back, the views are spectacular. Seen new animals every day, macaws on the roof, toucan, there is a rope strained to a tree for the sloth that sometimes makes the round there. You don't know what you're seeing. We could stay there for hours and watch. Breakfast is brought every morning, and we were entitled to a wash of our clothes with 3 nights. Pleasant. Restaurants across the street, supermarket as well. Only downside: the back of the house is on the road. You hardly notice anything inside and at the back. But in one bedroom that is more on the street side with a double bed. The other two bedrooms are quiet, one with a very large king size bed and a bunk bed. And the other bedroom with a double bed. Paste perfect for our family of 5.

Heerlijk huis. Prive en heel ruim en praktisch opgezet. Slimme indeling huis. Het speelt zich allemaal aan de achterkant af, het uitzicht is spectaculair. Elke dag nieuwe dieren gezien, ara’s op het dak, toekan, er is een touw gespannen naar een boom voor de luiaard die daar soms de ronde doet. Je weet niet wat je ziet. Wij konden daar uren blijven zitten en kijken. Ontbijt wordt elke ochtend gebracht, en we hadden met 3 nachten recht op een wasbeurt van onze kleding. Prettig. Restaurants overkant straat, supermarkt ook. Enig minpuntje: achterkant huis zit aan de weg. Daar merk je binnen en aan de achterkant nauwelijks iets van. Maar wel in één slaapkamer dat meer aan de straatkant zit met een 2 persoonsbed. De overige twee slaapkamers zijn wel stil, een met heel groot kingsize bed en een stapelbed. En de andere slaapkamer met een tweepersoonsbed. Paste perfect voor onze familie van 5.

Very beautiful house with an amazing view.

Our stay was incredible, the view from this place doesn't seem real. We all made comments about how the view looked like a screensaver, it was so perfect. Additionally the wildlife seemed to come by our house a lot. There were scarlet macaws living in a tree about 40 feet away that would fly over to eat almonds from the tree by the deck. Monkeys would come by every night as they made their way up from the jungle, and we had a sloth in the tree by the house. The house was incredibly clean, and breakfast options were really good. Alta Vista has several houses in their sort of compound that is gated, so you feel very safe. The location is great as you can walk to a myriad or restaurants or shops. If I'm honest, I actually feel like they are under marketing how awesome this place is. Would stay here again 10/10.

Fabulous location in Manuel Antonio. Hands down would stay here again. Our family of four, including two toddlers were comfortable in our rooms. The beds and linens provided a great nights sleep. The daily maid service and concierge services made the stay truly restful! We had visits from monkeys and red parrots on our deck. The sunset from the deck and pool was gorgeous every day and we loved the private pool. It was very private and was in the heart of all this town has to offer - much of it within walking distance!  Thank you for an exceptional stay.

Casa Paloma at Alta Vista Villas is truly amazing in every way. The view is priceless, the house is located close to the best restaurants (Agua Azul and Cafe Milagro) in Manuel Antonio, there are 3 large bedrooms all with king beds, bathrooms and incredible views, very clean and much bigger than I thought it would be, they serve breakfast every day (pancakes and fruit were my favorite but Americana was also good), they have laundry service so don’t over pack….Chris, Wilbur and the rest of the crew were very attentive and helped with any request.  casa Paloma is perfect for 3 couples or a big family.  I have already recommended this place to a friend and we will be back.  The back patio and pool was large and we spent a lot of time watching the macaws, monkeys and sloths or having a drink and enjoying the pool and view.  We saw more animals on the patio than at the National Park.

This place was beyond expectations! Amazing views monkey sloth visitors, close to everything, unbeatable view and sunsets. We would 100% recommend this place and will stay again

Hi Oliver! Thanks to you for letting us be part of your trip in Costa Rica, we are glad to know that you found the property and services convenient for you and that you had a good time. We are missing you from now! Take care and see you soon :)

The home was truly beautiful, and the view was spectacular. All staff members went out of their way to make us feel at home and to ensure that we had everything we could possibly need.

Hi Family! Thanks for stopping by our property. We are happy to know that you had an amazing experience during your stay and that you found the services convenient. We are looking forward to seeing you soon! Pura Vida

Rented house before on Air BnB and stayed in nice hotels. But this place was totally amazing. Nice rooms and facilities. But the outdoor space made it fantastic. To be able to soak in the pool or sit in a comfy chair and take in the amazing view, with it’s greenery and animals. Saw more animals from the terrace than in the national park. Birds, monkeys, a sloth etc etc! Lovely staff!! Would stay again in a heartbeat

Hello Daniel! Thanks for your five starts review. We are glad to know that you found the the property, the services, the location, etc convenient for you. Thanks for stopping by our property and made us part of your trip. We hope to see you again soon!

Just spectacular from start to finish. Chris was proactive in his communication and very responsive whenever I reached out to ask him questions. The staff is simply AMAZING. Wilbur the concierge was the nicest, most helpful young man, and all the other staff members were respectful, and quick to offer us guidance. The villa is a dream- pure magic! We didn't bother going to Manuel Antonio to see the wildlife because the wildlife came to visit us instead. On a daily basis we saw sloths, macaws, toucans, monkeys (they are friendly, not hostile), an endless parade of birds in the sky as we watched the sunset from the plunge pool. The rooms are immaculate, spacious, and the beds are very very comfortable. We loved the open concept of the living room/dining/kitchen, and all of the appliances are state of the art. We would book this place again in a heartbeat- it was our first time to Costa Rica and it made all the difference!

Hello Yvonne! We are pleased to know that you enjoyed every part of your stay, that you found the services convenient for you all and that our service was accurate. Thanks to you for letting us host your stay and share with the group, we really enjoyed it. Thanks for your collaboration with us, and we are looking forward to seeing you soon as well. Take care, Pura Vida!

Chris and his entire staff were awesome. The home was exactly as shown in the photos. The housekeeping staff kept the home in spotless condition. The breakfast services was always on time and correct and yummy. Chris arranged for transportation from San Jose airport and back which went off without a glitch. He also arranged 2 excursions which were just as described. I can not give any higher recommendation to Chris, the Alta Vista facility and to the people of Costa Rica. And will diffently return. Thank you Chris for making our visit so enjoyable!

Hi Damon, thanks for your comment and 5 stars review. We feel honored to have been part of this trip, and we are more than happy to know that everything worked perfectly to give you and the group a relaxing a releasing experience. It was a pleasure to meet you all, we are looking forward to your next visit ;)

Our group of 6 adults had a fantastic stay at Casa Paloma! The views were outstanding, the location was perfect for sightseeing in the area, and Chris and his team were super helpful and responsive before and during the stay. They were quick to provide assistance, resolve any questions, and make sure our entire stay was smooth and enjoyable. The included breakfast and laundry service were awesome and very convenient. We loved the daily visits from the macaws and squirrel monkeys and even had a sloth visit for a day! It was just what we were looking for in Manuel Antonio and we highly recommend this home.
