Andres was fantastic - welcoming and provided any local recommendations we were looking for. He made our trip a breeze and Carlos as a chef was amazing. The house was spacious and ACs in bedrooms worked well. The main living area was open living space and provided an excellent vantage point to see macaws, toucans, iguanas, and several kinds of monkeys daily. Sitting and watching sunrise, ocean and nature was an amazing way to start the day. Excursions picked you up from your doorstep and a ten min climb to the main road provided shops and restaurants.

Great views and access to wildlife

We had a great stay with our three teenagers. House was just as advertised. We saw monkeys every morning and every evening, toucans, macaws, and even a sloth right from the living room. Bedrooms were spacious and the AC in the bedrooms worked great and kept the spaces cool. Daily housekeeping was appreciated.

Amazing stay

Couldn’t be happier with our choice . The villa it’s better than on the photos . Daily maid comes in a keeps it clean . The nature and view is absolutely amazing . The only downfall are the mosquitoes at night which didn’t let us stay at the kitchen and hang out as much as we wanted , but other then that our group gives it a 5 star rating !!

Amazing Views!

This property was awesome! It has amazing ocean views and is just a few minutes by car away from the beach. We were looking to see the famous/infamous monkeys and this location delivered. Note that all bedrooms are on different levels of the home so if you don't want stairs, this house is not for you.

Most Amazing Vacation

The house is beautiful, the ocean view stunning, the kitchen is the finest I've cooked in and the active monkey life is part of your daily routine (not always joyous but definite monkeying around). You'll thoroughly enjoy your time in this unique home and want to return again soon. Thanks for this opportunity and we hope to be with you again. Namaste

Words Can’t Describe How Amazing this villa is!

The view is breathtaking, the rooms are huge, the service is impeccable and the area is magical. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better stay! Came for my 40th birthday with friends and family. Monkeys came to the living room everyday! We saw toucans, Scarlett macaws and monkeys from the Villa! David was a fantastic host, he arranged excursions (jungle tubing and catamaran boat tour, and even a private chef for my birthday. I recommend renting a car. 10/10 highly recommend!

Great Girls Trip!!

Excellent Manuel Antonio villa! Every room has its own bathroom, which was lovely and the view was incredible. All the rooms (except living area) has great AC. Housekeeper (who will do laundry too!) and other grounds workers were there everyday to clean, which was a bonus! Also- the street has security on both ends of the road. The only thing I would say is that we couldn’t really hang out in the living area at night because the kitchen was an open area and there were a ton of bugs. There were sooooo many monkeys all day long and came into the house often!! We had a great stay :)

All in all, recommend highly.

We had a fantastic four-night stay at Casa Dolce Vita in February 2025. Overall, it met or exceeded our expectations. Wonderful interactions with three species of monkeys and some great bird watching made it truly memorable.The breeze on the open-air third level generally kept it a comfortable temperature. (There were some mosquitoes around dusk, but not so many that it interfered with our use of the house, especially when we kept lighting to a reasonable minimum and the ceiling fans on.) We got consistently prompt responses from the hosts and they came to deal with the few issues that arose. We were pleasantly surprised to find that daily maid- and laundry-service were included in our rental rate.There were a few things in the listing that were misleading – the washer and dryer in the house aren’t accessible to renters, the pool, while very refreshing, has ceased to function as an “Infinity” pool, for example. We didn’t realize just how many steps there are up to the house. And then, inside the house, all staircases are spiral; takes some getting used to. There were some maintenance issues that needed to be dealt with, probably because no one had bothered to report them before; the rental management was eager to address them, which is all you can ask!All in all, we highly recommend Casa Dolce Vita.Pura Vida!

Great location and experience

This property really gives you an authentic jungle home experience. We saw more nature from the villa than one would expect to see at the national park. The home was very comfortable and the kitchen was sufficiently equipped. The beds and A/C units were satisfactory for decent sleep and the unit was well maintained. The views are excellent and Manuel Antonio never disappoints. My only caution to individuals considering this property is that it is not a great property for older travelers (65+). The unit has lots of stairs and steps; and the road to the top of the street for shops and groceries is quite steep; not exactly paved. Other than this point, I would highly recommend this property. Finally, we hired Hairo as our private chef for three nights; his meals and hospitality were spectacular.
