Casa Vista Azul a Stunning Balinese Villa w/ Sweeping Pacific Ocean Views

Casa Vista Azul felt like being in an amazing home. It was luxurious, comfortable, and had an interesting design. I would love to go back!

This is a beautiful home that someone lovingly created and decorated. It doesn't feel like a rental property, it feels like a tastefully decorated home designed with true creativity and an eye for elegance and artistic delight. The woodwork throughout, the architectural details, and the decorative fixtures surprise and delight you at every turn. It's large enough to give privacy, but not bloated and oversized like the newer party villas that hold large wedding parties.

It's not brand new, it feels loved and lived in. That means some things are a bit worn and needing attention, but it makes up for these with its charm and tasteful decor. The kitchen is well designed and plenty big, the bathrooms are whimsical and unique, with beautiful tile and color choices, and my bed was extremely comfortable. The artistically crafted wood frame windows of my room were an artisans gift and framed the beautiful jungle and ocean below. And the pool is large enough to actually swim, designed to fit into the landscape in a very special way.

The only caveat is the fairly steep winding stairs that connect all 4 floors. They require climbing and care. But there is an elevator for most floors.

The concierge Valerie is a joy to work with and gives first class service. She answered every question and was superbly helpful. And the housekeeper Carmen was friendly and wonderful. Our chef Esteban cooked delicious meals to our strict specifications and was very flexible with timing. Thank you all for your great hospitality.

The home is at the end of a private street, so there's no road noise. You do hear the occasional neighbor, but it's more private than most places and you feel alone with the jungle, monkey visitors, and singing birds.

If you want a beautiful, comfortable, creative home in the jungle, check out Vista Azul. I love this place, and I've been to many other places over the past almost 30 years of Manuel Antonio's growth.

We were a group of 7. All of us had great rooms with working air conditioners and comfortable beds. The view was stunning!!! We had the chef services and Esteban was the best cook ever! Loved the ribs and the ceviche! Well worth having the chef. Pool area is fantastic. Definitely one of the best places we have ever stayed.

top notch ....

We had a great time staying at Casa Vista Azul. It was a family vacation with four families total and we stayed total of 3 nights. The villa was beautiful with a stunning view at the top level right when you enter the front door. The 4 bedrooms in the villa were comfortable and clean with AC in every bedrooms. The additional bedrooms were down by the pool area and a little bit off down the stairs. We didn't see much wildlife except for one howler monkey, but the "jungle sounds" at night was amazing. The best part about the villa aside from the view is the Chef. We had Chef Esteban who prepared 2 of our meals each day. The kids loved his foods and fruit crepes and on our last night they made us a Japanese dinner with sushi rolls, tempura and papaya salad! It was delicious. Ricky, our concierge, was wonderful. We arrived late on our first night from La Fortuna due to last minutes excursion, but he stayed late to welcome us and made sure we were all comfortable for the night. He also booked surfing lesson for the kids at the last minutes.

I would definitely recommend Casa Vista Azul for your stay in Manuel Antonio and we would happily come back to stay again. Thank you and pura vida!
