Great place to stay in Manuel Antonio

Waking up each morning to the sounds of howler monkeys and a beautiful view of both the mountains and ocean was awesome! Casa Alta was comfortable and always clean(thanks to the cleaning lady, Flor, who we just adored). Olivier and Luz were so accommodating and very helpful with information about the area and helping us schedule amazing excursions. My children enjoyed swimming in the pool each day, which was also kept very clean. The house is in a great location as you are close to many great restaurants, a supermarket, bakery, and best of all, Manuel Antonio park. I would highly reccomend this Villa to anyone looking to spend time in Manuel Antonio.

Casa Alta became home for six Americans for seven days! It was a delightful place, high on a hill with excellent views, a pool and patio where we spent every morning with coffee and conversation and daily maid service. There was plenty of room for all of us, we watched the Dallas Mavericks win the championship from the comfortable couches - we were so proud of our hometown team. None of us had every been to Cost Rica and all of us decided that we would come back. The country, the people, all were wonderful.

I cannot say enough good things about the property. Our group of six could not have been happier. Olivier was most helpful in recommending restaurants, activities, and advice in general. He arranged a tour with Manuel Antonio Expeditions for the national park. Their tours are so good we took another with them to the mangrove swamps. Whatever you do, don't fail to have dinner at Kapi Kapi which is nearby. Beware of Budget Car Rental at the airport in San Jose. We were victims of a bait and switch there. Additionally buy your Costa Rican auto insurance prior to arrival in the country thus only being beaten up in pricing rather than being raped. In total though we loved Costa Rica as well as Casa Alta.

We stayed for a week in May -June 2011, and had 7 people there. 3 couples and a single, all adults. Both Olivier and Luz made it very easy, and were easy to reach with questions and for help on tours and dining. Luz cooked for us one evening, and it was delicious. The maid service was great, and the house impeccable. We loved the pool, and the outdoor seating area. We were there every night, even in the nights with heavy rain, comfortable. We were fortunate, and had great weather, a mix of sun and clouds, with some mixed rain each day. We used the barbeque a couple nights, grilled steaks and veggie, was great. We ran the local streets down to the beaches, quite a workout! We would highly suggest this property and the owners to anyone considering vacationing there. We enjoyed dining at Avion, Sancho's, Kapi Kapi, and relaxing at the local bars on the main beach. We did the National Park tour, great guide. Juan is the owner of the company, and was very good, funny, and informative. It is Manuel Antonio Expeditions. The Zip Line Company that we used was Canopy Safari, and it was very high quality, safe, but thrilling. Luz suggested it. Overall, this is a great place. Another VRBO winner.

Casa Alta is the best place to stay in Manuel Antonio. You get jungle views from one side of the house, and water views from the other. The house is laid out great - the main floor with the open kitchen and living room spills out onto the gorgeous deck and pool area, perfect for hanging out after a day of hiking, surfing, or just Costa Rican relaxing. Olivier and Luz were great resources for things to do in the area, and Flor was awesome - the house was always clean thanks to her! The location of the house is away from touristy bits which is really nice - its quiet at night, and you feel like a local. We hope to stay here again! Olivier, Luz, Flor and Casa Alta have my highest recommendation.

Fantastic!! A great place and a great location. Private and safe! We've rented here several times. Five minutes from the beach and from fantastic restaurants. The most relaxing vacation we've ever had. Beautiful pool, comfortable beds and Olivier the owner is great. We can't wait to come back for even longer this year.

We stayed at Casa Alta in June 2010. Casa Alta is simply an amazing villa in a superb location. The villa is walking distance to many great restaurants and bars. A local grocery store is a five minute walk away and has everything you need to grill out and make your own meals. We walked to the beach on several occasions which takes 15-20 minutes, but is a truly great hike. For those not interested in walking, the buses and taxi's are safe and stop a few hundred meters from the Casa Alta. The Casa Alta itself is a beautiful villa. The pictures are accurate and the villa is actually more stunning in person. The pool is perfect to cool off on those hot days. The property is always clean as a maid and a pool man clean everyday. You hardly see either of them and the maid does laundry every Wednesday. Olivier is a great host that can set up any trip at the lowest price. If you have any questions with the area or where to eat, he is the man to ask. He is very easy to get ahold of during the trip in case any problems arise. Like what was mentioned above, this is a luxury vacation at a fraction of the cost. We definitely plan on returning to the Casa Alta in the future to experience more of what Costa Rica has to offer. I recommend Costa Rica and more importantly Casa Alta. You won't be disappointed.

Casa Alta Review

Overall, we had a great time in the house. It is a beautiful house in the heart of Manuel Antonio. The deck, small pool and upstairs deck are pretty amazing. It has decent views of the mountains and a bit of the ocean as well as all the other homes in the area. It is in a neighborhood so you do hear and see a lot of the locals, which can be good or not as good depending on what you are looking for. It also has razor wire around the outside which felt a bit weird in eco-friendly Costa Rica, but I am sure is part of the deal when you have a property that is not always occupied. It is the same with most nicer houses in that area. We liked hearing and seeing a bit of the local flavor and it is walking distance to grocery store and bus stop which was handy. The owner (english speaking) and his cleaning person (Spanish only) were great. Very nice and easy going with good info about the area. They can hook you up with tours if you are interested. As far as tours go - we did the Dolphin Planet sunset snorkel tour and it was great. Great staff - saw a humpback whale, dolphins and had lots of good food and drink. We ventured off ourselves on few adventures to Manuel Antonio park and hung out on the nice beaches and watched all the monkeys. If you drive from San Jose - get a 4x4 and look for the locals "fuzz buster" light flashes. Thanks Ollie, we would come back in a heart beat.

Had a fantastic trip - Flor the maid was so sweet and unobtrusive. Special treat were the two monkeys passing thru the trees next to our pool! Terrific and comfortable home - Olivier is a generous host, and was available whenever we needed him. Recommendations to Oli - room darkening curtains in the two rooms that face the East - the sun comes up with a vengeance in those two rooms at 5:30am!! Also, an oven would have been nice, as several of us wanted to be able to roast, but, the BBQ grill was sufficient. Will definitely consider Casa Alta for our next trip! Thanks again, Oli!
