"Lamangata was absolutely amazing! I stayed there for a work trip as a corporate pilot and my copilot also stayed there. While we were technically there for work it did not feel that way, but more so a paid vacation. I really enjoyed the relaxed home-like atmosphere where the whole resort is truly your home. The Playa Dominicalito room has such a beautiful view from the balcony. Even more amazing was the quality of the food. Every meal was cooked from scratch with local organic fruits,...

Raya

"Close to the beach, super clean and friendly staff."

Ocean View Villa Surrounded By Rainforest 5 Mins To Beach Near Manuel Antonio Pk

10/10 Excellent

"We truly loved our stay here! It's even more beautiful in real life. An amazing house, in an incredible setting. Our family loved the pool, dinners at the outdoor living space, the breathtaking views, and being immersed in the rainforest. The property is also in a great location between Manuel Antonio and Uvita. We received some great tour guide contacts from Josue, the property manager. We would love to return ASAP!"

Your own house in the jungle, 5 minutes from the beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Het is een open jungle huis. Slaapkamers zijn wel afgesloten. Gevolg is dat de dieren van de jungle ook binnen leven. Mooie ervaring.Het zwembad is echt fantastisch. Dag en nacht. Ook heerlijk sterren kijken vanuit het zwembad. Voor ons een top moment was toen 2 toekans in de boom naast het zwembad kwamen te zitten. Het ligt tegen een berg op. Fantastisch uitzicht! Voor de weg heb je wel echt 4x4 nodig. Zonder kom je niet boven. We dachten dat we 6 slaapkamers zouden hebben, dat werden er 5. 1 slaapkamer zat in soort bijgebouw, te vochtig en teveel schimmel om te gebruiken.Wij deden er ongeveer 10 minuten om op strand te komen. De weg naar boven was voor ons te stijl om te lopen.We hadden nog een wespennest boven zwembad, maar de tuinman kwam gelijk om weg te halen. Verder wel iedere dag een grote spin uit 1 van de slaapkamers buiten moeten zetten, daar moet je tegen kunnen.Het huis is goed gelegen voor uitstapjes naar zowel Uvita als Manuel Antonio."

"Justo Perfecto truly lived up to its name! We had an incredible stay and couldn’t have asked for a better home for our time in Costa Rica. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and the perfect place for our family to relax and enjoy everything Costa Rica has to offer.Jennifer was wonderful to work with, and Rambo and his team went above and beyond throughout our stay. They were incredibly responsive, helpful, and accommodating and made everything so easy for us. The meals they prepared were absolutely delicious and were one of the highlights of our stay!The house, the hospitality, and the level of service made this such a special trip for our family. We made wonderful memories at Justo Perfecto and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend!"

Villa 5BR+5BA, 1min walk to the beach

10/10 Excellent

"This place is absolutely a slice of paradise! The property is even better than what the pictures depict. The house was extremely spacious and well-equipped. Elizabeth was extremely communicative and helpful. We had 2 issues come up that were resolved very fast- a wasp nest on the ceiling and a broken sink in the bathroom by the pool. The gardener, Sheldon was great too! He helped us find sloths in the trees around the property. We saw more monkeys, sloths, toucan, and scarlet macaws than we can count just while we were sitting by the pool. We will ABSOLUTELY be back here!"

"Best rental I have ever stayed at! Beautiful, stunning views, well appointed. flory, concierge, was an amazing help with everything, from planning to follow through. Would definitely recommend and return"

Gorgeous sunsets at Casa Arbol DelMar

10/10 Excellent

"Pura Vida!!What a beautiful Casita and a consummate host. I can't tell which I enjoyed the most. From my initial inquiry before booking the property, Gelena was responsive, informative and gracious. She is such an amazing human and I wish all people could be more like her.The Casita was immaculate. On this trip I am learning the difference between "fully equipped" and "well stocked". Gelena's Casita is both!I was there for two full weeks and was able to enjoy quietness, peace and serenity away from all "the noise", physically, mentally and most important for me, spiritually.This place is a perfect retreat for those looking to reconnect with themselves and with the Spirit that resides in each of us.You definitely need a 4x4 vehicle and Gelena clearly explains that in her description and communication with you. Just don't forget your driver's license (inside joke)!Thank you, Gelena, for making this a place of respite. I will be forever grateful."

Casa Alba

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our experience at Casa Alba. The staff was helpful to bring us a lighter to light the grill, offered a complimentary house cleaning midway through our stay. The bats and toucans around the place were great. The kitchen was stocked with enough equipment to allow us to cook our meals. Pool time was great and the views were fantastic."
