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

We had a wonderful time at Casa Vista Azul! Our group included 12 family members (2 young kids, 4 teens/young adults, and 6 adults). Our family loved the large gathering area on the main floor of the house. Surrounded by beautiful views we relaxed and talked. We saw monkeys, sloths, toucan, macaw, and a thousand others all from the couch! The house staff was fantastic! Going out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. This is a gorgeous home with unmatched scenery.

We were a group of 6 adults (3 couples) staying at Casa Vista Azul and oh, where to begin. The villa was beyond what the pictures/description depict. Walking thru the front door with Ricky (which is flanked by 2 HUGE vases with flora & fauna) and immediately seeing the view of the Pacific, everything only gets better. It's so well laid out, that everywhere you turn, there's another beautiful view. The common area (living/dining/kitchen/cozy nook) is the top floor, the master bedroom is below that, and the next 2 floors are bedrooms. And then there's the pool and the pool house. WOW is all I can say. We would start the day off with a quick dip and end our evenings with a return dip. The pool house has a shower that is open to the jungle and one morning we had a sloth hanging in a nearby tree watching us. Ok, really I was watching him/her. After a group breakfast, we all went off in different directions during the day, met up in the early evenings for cocktails and dinner on the top floor, which held beautiful flower arrangements from Carmen (and the entire villa was spotlessly cleaned everyday by Carmen). We had 2 chefs in our group and the kitchen is beyond a dream. Stuffed with plates/glassware/serving pieces/tablecloths/napkins, a grill, large refrigerator (actually there are 2, plus a full sized one in the pool house) there is nothing missing from this home. This was my 9th trip to Manual Antonio and this was the most beautiful property/home I've stayed in and I'm already making plans for next year. There are a lot of steps, but if need be, there is an elevator. We all took the steps in stride (pardon the pun) and after a week, our collective legs were definitely more toned! We would walk to the top of the hill, to the main road where there were plenty of places within walking distance to have a drink/bite or shop. Ricky was a phone call away for anything you might need. Truly a spectacular holiday!

Our group of 11 really enjoyed our trip to Manuel Antonio and our stay at Casa Azul. The house was beautiful and accommodated all our needs. The best part was having Esteban as our chef for breakfast and dinner after excursions. Carmen, the maid, was also great and worked very hard to have all of our rooms clean and our laundry done. We had monkeys all around us and we saw a sloth cross the rope and then came back about 15 minutes later. It rained every night and it was awesome to be in the living area and watch the rain as it cooled off the evenings. The views were incredible and we loved every minute!!

This house was top notch. The rooms were all very spacious and comfortable. Ricky was a great help to us along with the maid Carmen, and the wonderful Chef Esteban. After every adventure we always looked forward to coming home to a beautiful and clean house. We saw a lot of wildlife from the living room: monkeys, sloths. and lizards. Views are incredible. We would go back in a heartbeat!

My family and I went to Manuel Antonio with friends and their children. This house was perfect for all of us! The open-air living area and kitchen and pool and pool house were the perfect places for all of the kids to play and for adults to hang out. We loved having a chef every day and the food was beyond delicious! Chef Esteban was so caring about our experience and always made the details of our meal very special. Having daily cleaning and laundry was an added touch that really helps you to relax and get away from it all. We took home almost no dirty clothing and Carmen was attentive to us right up to the day we left. The staff just really make you feel welcome and cared for on vacation. The bedrooms are comfortable, air-conditioned, and peaceful at night. We woke every morning to birds, monkeys and the beautiful sun and ocean! We loved having coffee facing the water and cocktails at night to the sounds of the howler monkeys. We also loved Manuel Antonio. Again, the people of Costa Rica are so delightful. Everyone went out of their way to help us have the best time. Pablo and Rogelio for surf lessons on the beach. Mike who brought us drinks and food. The tour guides and zip line companies and restaurant staff all around the town - everyone was so kind and happy to share Pura Vida with us! We loved Costa Rica and will come back. We would stay in this house again for sure!
