Great friends, great house, great view, great food, great wine, great party! What a hilarious and memorable week in Manuel Antonio. When we weren't goofing around at the house, we were off exploring everything that Manuel Antonio has to offer! We hired Chef Ernesto for one night and we wished we had arranged for more! It was so delicious! Hopefully we will return one day soon!

Oh, to live this life forever. Lazy mornings, drinking coffee in the morning, reading magazines on the balcony, swimming in the pool - and that's all before lunch! I didn't know much about Costa Rica before I came here, and I'm so glad my friends convinced me to take this trip. I loved every minute of it - except the flight!

My heartfelt thanks to everyone at Escape Villas who helped me make this the surprise wedding proposal of a lifetime! Seriously, without your help, I never would've pulled this off! The house is amazing and me and my fiance loved it. Thank you so much.

I'm getting married!! My boyfriend surprised me with this romantic get-away to Costa Rica and what a wonderful surprise it was when he proposed! This villa is so gorgeous - I couldn't believe we had the entire place to ourselves. He didn't tell me anything about where we were staying (I expected a hotel) so imagine my surprise when we pulled up! Manuel Antonio is such a beautiful town, I am so happy to have been here.

My husband treated us to this fabulous week in Costa Rica and I absolutely loved it! The beaches are beautiful and so is this villa! The views are to die for and the infinity edge pool is wonderful. I wish I could wake up to that magnificent ocean view everyday! Oh well, at least now I know where to come back for my next vacation!

I love Costa Rica! I can only imagine what it would be like to live here all year long. I would spend all my time on the beach, swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing and perfecting my tan! What a cool place to visit and experience.

Time flies at Casa Dolce Vida! Our week in Manuel Antonio went by too fast! We did plenty of adventure tours - ziplining, kayaking through caves, sunset cruise, hiking the rainforest - everything was spectacular. We spent plenty of time at the beach swimming in the ocean - but it was just too hot to lay out in the sun for very long! We were all happy to catch a break from the sun by heading back to the house. Chef Leo is amazing! We loved walking into the house to find lunch prepared for us after our adventurous mornings exploring Manuel Antonio! Thank you for everything!

What a great week in Manuel Antonio! Dolce Vita is sch a comfortable and welcoming home that I hardly wanted to leave! Of course, the waves and the nightlife beckoned me and my friends to leave at times! Thank you to Ricky for giving us all the tips on all the best restaurants and bars. The ATV tour was rockin!

Casa Dolce Vida is just the thing for a relaxing vacation in Costa Rica! I could sit in the Great Room and enjoy the views all day long! The pool was great and we loved cracking a few beers while watching the monkeys cross the bridges every afternoon. The beach is so nice and the waves were perfect for learning to surf - I wasn't trying to get crushed by major waves on my first trip out! Ricky and Val at the office are great and helped me with everything from car rentals to groceries and pizza delivery! Thank you!
