  The house is spectacular and the pictures don't even do it justice. The support system there is A-1, our Chef Chris was tremendous, the cleaning girls, Valerie, all of our activities were top notch and the best part is that the family unit got along super. Thank you so much for all your help in the planning. We had the trip of a lifetime and you helped make it happen.

  I just wanted to share the wonderful vacations we had last month. I used Escape Villas to book this house as well as different tours and overall we had an amazing experience. First of all this is the most beautiful house I have ever seen in my life, it is incredibly elegant and spacious! We loooved the pool, it is huge and has an spectacular view and we were also able to see all kinds of monkeys, birds and more. The chef Stephane is the nicest person ever and he cooked the most delicious meals, not even the restaurants close by had such good food. Valerie and Ricky (Escape Villas staff) made our trip go smoothly and were able to help with everything we asked for. Valerie helped us book a few tours and the one I loved the most was the boat tour to Damas Island, it was the best and we got to see all kinds of wildlife. My sons said that they loved the snorkeling tour so if you're more adventurous than me, they recommend it. Overall it was once in a life time experience, not always everything is perfect when you make a trip like this but this time it really was. I can't wait until next year, i will definitely be going back to Costa Rica... what an amazing country.

  We came to Casa Fantastica to celebrate Brian's 40th birthday with family and friends and had a wonderful time. The views are incredible! The staff here is outstanding. Very hard working, always smiling and going out of their way to help us and make sure everything is perfect. The housekeepers are the best! Chef Stephan's meals were the best we've ever eaten. Ask for the mushroom cream sauce - trust me! We caught fish, mahi and snapper, and he prepared them beautifully. Such a special place for a special occasion. Thank you for a trip we will never forget!

  Visiting Costa Rica and staying in Casa Fantastica has been an experience of lifetime. Stefan, the chef, and his wonderful creations have been the highlight of our stay here. (Ask if he can make you filled crepes with mixed fruit toppings and vanilla ice cream. They are to die for...) The entire staff is very friendly and hard working! We're sure you will LOVE it as much as we did. Say hello to the monkeys for us! Everything was exceptional no words can describe...

  This was a vacation to remember! A big group of us ladies came down for a magical week in paradise and that is exactly what we got! The house is amazing and we were so impressed with everything about it. Besides it's beautiful decor and awesome views, this villa had so much to offer that we didn't even need to leave the house! The game room and movie theater were such treats! The gym was a nice bonus, but none of us bothered to use it while we were on vacation! We had so much fun learning how to surf from our cute instructor at the beach and loved dancing the night away in Quepos. We had an amazingly relaxing day at the spa down the road where we got facials and massages. So sad to leave, but we plan to do it again sometime soon!

  The view from Casa Fantastica is absolutely breathtaking. I never imagined that I would actually be surrounded by the jungle and all of the wildlife it comes with! The monkeys must be used to visitors, because they weren't scared of us at all! Everyone in Manuel Antonio was so friendly, helpful and laid back. It took us a few days to fully understand the meaning of "Tico Time" - which pretty much means expect to wait! Things are much slower down here, but maybe that's why everyone seems so happy. Many thanks to Escape Villas and Costa Rica for welcoming us Georgians with open arms for the past week!

  Now I get why so many come to Costa Rica and never leave! This was simply the best vacation ever. Everyone was in great spirits the entire time - including everyone we met! Then again, when you live in paradise, I suppose there's always a reason to smile. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the master suite - the master bathroom is incredible! I could lounge in the jacuzzi and enjoy the view forever if possible! Thank you!

  Peace, love and happiness - that's what Casa Fantastica brings to the table! I looked forward to every day while I was in Costa Rica. I jumped out of bed and ran to the balcony every morning because I just couldn't get enough of the view! This was truly a jungle vacation in paradise. I spent hours swimming in the Pacific Ocean each day and when I wasn't at the beach, I was lounging by the pool with either a book, friends or cocktails! I couldn't have imagined a better vacation!

  Pura Vida Costa Rica! This country is so beautiful and so is this house! Me and my friends had a wonderful experience in Manuel Antonio. We had tons of fun on our jungle canopy tour and ATV adventure through the rain forest. Our sports fishing excursion was well worth the money and the best part was to having our personal chef grill up our fresh catch of the day for dinner. You can't get any fresher than that! Many thanks to the owner of this house for sharing it with us!

  This was a family reunion for the books! All 18 of us had a blast in Costa Rica! Exploring Manuel Antonio National Park was great - but it was even better getting to see all of the same wildlife from this awesome villa! Monkey's visited daily and with all of us on the lookout, we got to see sloths, toucans, lizards and butterflies all from the comfort of the house! We wish we could stay here forever; thanks for the memories!

  My son and his wife were married at this spectacular villa in Manuel Antonio and things couldn't have been more perfect. Leo, the private chef, prepared the most wonderful meal and Val, our concierge, made sure every last detail was taken care of while we prepared for the big day! Ricky, the property manager, is such a riot to be around - what a great guy! Thanks to everyone at Escape Villas for helping to make my son's big day the best ever. Muchas Gracias!

  What an unbelievable home! My kids went crazy the second we walked through the doors when we were immediately greeted with astonishing ocean views. The infinity edge pool is so cool with its shoreline feature - I loved how you could just walk directly into the pool from the patio! The adults and kids alike had a great time in the game room playing pool, ping pong and air hockey - the adults would take over after the kids went to bed! We had such a blast and hope to return one day soon!

  PURA VIDA! Hands down one of the best vacations of my life, if not the THE best! We traveled to Costa Rica to celebrate my 40th birthday… me, my husband, my bro, my niece and eleven of my nearest and dearest! The moment we arrived at Casa Fantastica we were in awe of this magical place! A fun-filled week of adventure and pure beauty. Swimming in the pool, zip-lining, yoga with Sylvia, massages with Sylvia and Anna, surfing at Jaco and Manuel Antonio, kayaking, rappelling, fishing, exploring the Manuel Antonio National Park, jamming with live wire, playing with the monkeys, watching movies, taking a thousand pictures of the gorgeous place. Thank you Aldo and Valerie for taking such good care of us! Thank you to all my loved ones, especially my husband, for a spectacular birthday and cherished memories to last a lifetime.

  Casa Fantastica truly lives up to its name. Having traveled a bit, I just was not prepared for such beauty. “Villa” doesn’t do it justice, it’s a spiritual experience. Come with family and friends and have many dreams and stories to share. Photos cannot do it justice, words will have to suffice. Enjoyed the staff; such hard-working people. Thanks to all who provided this experience.

  Hola! The nine of us staying here are family and we have traveled to many places together. It has been my thought never to go to the same place twice, to keep moving on, and to experience it all. But, no more. This is it! This is the most beautiful house, beautiful country, great people, fascinating creatures I’ve encountered. I came here with few expectations and left blown away. Thank you to all who were a part of this experience. Our fishing experience was great. We were on the boat, “Dream Chaser”. The crew was very pleasant and they were able to find the fish. We caught to sailfish and two Dorado. Agua Azul did a great job preparing our Mahi Mahi and we grilled the rest here ourselves. You may want to close the curtains while in your bedrooms or you may see monkeys looking in at an inopportune time! The designer of the house did a marvelous job and obviously had fun doing it. Here is to the best trip experience I’ve ever had.

  To be or not to be, this place is not the question. There is only love!! After getting past the burden of traveling on my way down, the doors opened up to a respite of the highest order. The ambiance of Fantastica proved to be intoxicating. Good movies only added to the experience. The daily dose of Fantastica chased away my residual burdens and professionally related stress, breath by breath. I most enjoyed the fine weather, the hot tub, pool, and bathroom sauna tub. And yes, the view is from heaven! The best view, however, was that of the sunset on the beach. Fantastic! Nighttime was equally intoxicating. Dinner at the poolside with simple cuisine added fuel to the fire. Simple, but delightful. Constellations abound against early star-filled skies; smoky in the background. Oh, baby, baby… Next time I will perhaps watch a movie or two and further christen this wonderful voyage. Fantastica! If God is smiling, for she is smiling on this wonderful villa. Enjoy it as much as I did.
