Wonderful!

Absolutely the most stunning place to stay
We rented Villa Celaje and Villa Anaka for our wedding week in Costa Rica. It was absolutely perfect place to get married. The views are gorgeous and we all enjoyed watching the beautiful Macaws and Toucan each morning in our front yard. Not only is the house spectacular, modern, clean and beautifully decorated but the house staff is amazing. Johan helped plan every detail of our trip so everything ran smoothly. Ingrid helped coordinate all my wedding details so I had a stress free experience and Marlon arranged for his chefs Mike and Jorge to cook all our meals. Every meal was amazing and with wonderful service. They treated us all like we were family while we were there making the trip magical!
A place like no other...
A palatial estate sitting high above the Pacific. breathtaking reviews of the ocean, jungle, and mountains. Seamless vacation from start to finish. Initial contact was with Mr. Cunningham who provided all the necessary information regarding the property. Deposits and payments were made securely. Concierge (Johan) then contacted us and answered every question immediately via e-mail. Johan had the house stocked per our request, and was available 24/7 for our questions, needs, and advice. The Villa itself was one of the most spectacular estates I've ever visited. The square footage, the amenities, the art work, the views, and the layout was beyond description. The pictures do not do this Villa justice, it has to be seen and experienced. The chef services (Julio) were comparable to eating at a 5 star restaurant. From the preparation, cooking, serving and cleaning up was excellent. Lastly, the daily services of Tatiana in keeping this palace clean was top notch. She worked 7 hours a day, without being seen, keeping the Villa spotless and clean. Villa Celaje is THE place to stay in Manuel Antonio, Quepos.
Fantastic!!!!!!!
What an experience!!! The house was beautiful, the views were spectacular and the staff was outstanding. Everything was perfect and could not have been any better. Johan our concierge came through on everything. Mikey our chef was as good if not better than any restaurant chef in any major city, being from New Orleans, living in Houston and traveling around the world I take pride in knowing my food. Every excursion Johan lined up for us was on time and amazing! This was an adventure trip for my 50th and 4 other couples were equally amazed with everything provided. Can't wait to come back and do even more adventures. In fact, I have been showing pictures and telling all my friends that they need to stay at Villa Celaje!!!!!! Thanks for great times and memories to last a life time!!!!
Magnificent!!!!!
This home is better than expected in every way. It is beautiful, spacious, private and easy to live in. We are a multigenerational family of 14, who had plenty of room for everyone. The pool was large enough,as were all the rooms.
We highly recommend hiring Wow Chef Services. They were worth every penny.
Good, Better, BEST
This house was amazing! The pictures online do not do it justice. It was open, and spacious, light and bright. We spent a week with our family of 14 and we were never on top of each other. The pool was large enough for all who wanted to take advantage of it. There were some minor plumbing problems, but nothing that would stop me from recommending it.
Katherine , the housekeeper was friendly and even when working, never in the way.
We used Marlon and Dario for chef services and I think it makes all the difference in truly being able to enjoy this vacation. If you're renting this house, hire the caterers. They are talented, friendly and great with the kids.
Fantastic
A group of 4 families visited Villa Celaje for a week in April and could not have hoped for a better trip. The house is amazing the pictures do not even come close to showing off beauty of the house and its surroundings. The house was cleaned to perfection daily. Johan the house concierge took care of everything from our transportation to the house, to stocking the refrigerator, setting up all our tours and transportation and making sure everything was perfect. He really made us feel welcome and was always there for anything we needed. We also had chef services for the week, Marlon and Mikey were amazing, the food was fantastic and it was so relaxing to not have to go out to eat or cook for ourselves. Trying to get all of us out to a restaurant would have been stressful and time consuming having Marlon and Mikey there took all that away and allowed us to sit by the beautiful pool, relax and enjoy the amazing sunsets each evening. Our experience at villa Celaje was a perfect ten amazing.
Map
One of Costa Rica's premier tourist destinations, Manuel Antonio National Park, combines natural primary and secondary forests, exuberant wildlife, and pristine beaches in one amazing location on Costa Rica's Pacific coast, only seven kilometers south of Quepos.
Manuel Antonio's distinctive Cathedral Point takes center stage in the many breathtaking vistas that punctuate the winding drive between Quepos and the National Park entrance. Cathedral Point was once actually an island, but thousands of years of geological action connected it to the mainland with a natural land bridge.
Both inside and outside the park there are a series of small half-moon beaches and bays surrounded by luscious rainforest: Playa Espadilla Norte, Playa Espadilla Sur, Playa Manuel Antonio, Playa Puerto Escondido and Playa Playitas, all of them safe for swimming and great for diving.
The area, which encompasses 1,700 acres of land mass and 135,905 acres of marine reserve, was declared as National Park due to its abundant flora and fauna, and especially because of being the last remaining habitat of the unique squirrel monkey (mono tití), endemic to this region. Other of the species that attract both naturalists and regular tourists are white-nosed, two-toed and three-toed sloths, iguanas, raccoons, white-faced and howler monkeys.
Among the birds is common to observe: “tucancillos” (Fiery-billed Aracary), brown pelicans, laughing falcons, black-collared hawks, green kingfishers and northern jacanas. Among the flora outstand the bully tree, the cedar, the locust (surá) the black locust and the cow tree, as well as 44.5 acres of mangrove swamp with three species: black mangrove, red mangrove and buttonwood mangrove. Costa Rica's ancient pre-Colombian societies inhabited the area around Manuel Antonio and their tidal turtle traps are still visible.
