Why the Owner Chose Manuel Antonio
Hi! In 2005, my fiance Michael and I visited Costa Rica for the first time. We never expected what would happen! We fell totally in love with Costa Rica, and Manuel Antonio in particular. The people are warm, open and friendly, and the area is breathtaking. We decided, five days after our arrival, to purchase our casa preconstruction in Buena Vista Villas and Casas. We remember spending many hours walking from lot to lot, trying to decide which one would give us the best view in the resort, and decided on ours. And boy were we right! Completed in May of 2006, we have enjoyed our beautiful home several times a year and we are happy to offer it to others who would like to experience this stunning part of the country. Although Casa Gema de Bali was managed until March 2009 by Buena Vista Villas and Casas, we decided to take care of Casa Gema de Bali and our guests and to assume the management ourselves. We have added several upgrades to our casa and hired outstanding staff to assure an unforgettable experience to our guests. We now find ourselves absolutely loving this new direction that our lives have led us!
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
Although we could go on and on, we will try to narrow this list down to just three unique benefits to staying at Casa Gema de Bali.
1. Casa Gema de Bali's unbeatable view. As soon as you open Casa Gema de Bali's front door, you will gasp with delight! Due to its brilliant positioning and orientation, this breathtaking casa has been THE casa of choice in Buena Vista by the area's top wedding planning and catering companies. As a matter of fact, we offer the most expansive and breathtaking ocean view in Buena Vista guarantee, or your stay is free! That is how confident we are that you will be amazed and thrilled with our amazing casa.
2. Casa Gema de Bali is located in Buena Vista Villas and Casas resort within Tulemar Gardens, and as such offers guests the exclusiveness of a gated resort, with lovely gardens, hiking trails, four pools and most of all, our gorgeous award winning beach. Additionally, you will probably see as many monkeys and other wildlife here as you would in the National Park.
3. You can walk everywhere from Casa Gema de Bali. Being on the top of the hill, guests do not have to navigate the many steps within the resort in order to access the main street, where Manuel Antonio's best stores, restaurants and coffee shops are located. Whether it be a restaurant for dinner, a coffee house for breakfast, or a spa for a relaxing treatment, there is so much to do all within comfortable walking distance.
We would love to share our natural "gem" of a vacation home with you! Send an email or call us for more information. Saludos, Tracy and Michael
