We couldn't have imagined anything better than this beautiful place! It was perfect for our family of 10 (all the kids and grandkids were there). Everyone had comfortable rooms and easy bathrooms. The kitchen and dining area is spacious. The views are breathtaking. And the people who keep it all running so well (Alex the manager, Rosey the maid, and Nelson the gardener) are all super helpful and friendly. It was a tremendous blessing to be able to spend a few glorious days at Casa Cristal. We can't wait to get back there!

Absolutely beautiful. The host was great. The maids were amazing. Everything was awesome. In my opinion, this was one of the nicest houses I’ve stayed at in the 20 years. I’ve been coming to Manuel Antonio. You have the view and a five minute walk to the beach you cannot beat it.

Communication was mostly good. All bedrooms had a fantastic view so all guests had equal quality. It was great to have Rosie there everyday freshening up the bedrooms, the laundry and the towels. And our personal chef Angel was truly an Angel with his grandmothers recipes.

This was a beautiful home with an incredible view. Three bedrooms with a king size bed. There is a twin over full bunk bed located outside the master bedroom. One bedroom has two queens. This is the one that is accessible through the master bedroom. You can also access it by walking around from the front door. The rooftop grill area was lovely. Rosie did a great job of keeping the house spotless and the pool and courtyard area were also cleaned daily. Plenty of beach towels were available to use. The kitchen was well-equipped, but for some reason didn't have any oven mitts. Everyone absolutely loved the home and we would 100% choose to stay here again.

Amazing house, great location with easy access to a more secluded beach, lots of food options, markets & souvenir stores within 5 min drive. The staff waa super friendly and helpful. Manager provided lots of information regarding where to eat and things to do near by that my group was interested in. Rosie kept the house cleaned daily and washed our clothes each day made me regret packing so many extra clothes just something to think about, save room in your bag for gifts to bring home. Highly recommend this place the view is one in a million you may also get some monkey visitors on the top deck.

Perfect in every way!

The house is perfect, the views are perfect, Alex and his team were perfect! The house pics do not due the "views" justice, they are better IRL. The beach was fantastic (about a 10 min walk...a bit uphill on the way back). Alex set up several day trips and chef nights for us...extremely seamless! The area of Manuel Antonio was amazing. We will be coming back.

Casa Cristal Exceeded Our Expectations

We spent a lovely four nights at Casa Cristal. The layout of the house was perfect for our extended family and the views are spectacular. Views of the ocean from every room. We enjoyed the infinity pool with swim up bar every afternoon and evening. We also enjoyed the monkey parade that showed up everyday on the terrace. So fun to watch. Alex was available at any time of the day to answer questions, make recommendations, and schedule tours. Rosie was also around daily to take care of the cleaning and laundry. We definitely would recommend and come back to Casa Cristal. Pura Vida!!
