About the host

Hosted by David Lozano

Host profile image
My wife and I have been married for over 25 years, throughout our many years of traveling, we have never visited somewhere that truly stole our hearts. Well, that was true up until we set foot in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica for the first time. For several years now, we’ve aimed to explore new tropical places and we are not done yet. In some ways, we have been searching for a second home, somewhere we want to explore and visit multiple times over and over without ever getting bored and somewhere in between our other tropical travels. Manuel Antonio, was the place for us. We loved it so much we decided to build our own place where our family and friends could visit and also share the love we have for the Pura Vida way of life in Costa Rica. As admirers of any culture that truly respects and protects nature, we have always loved the Costa Rican way of living life. But it’s not just this love of nature that has caused us to fall in love with it, it’s also the food, the people, and our obsession with beautiful beaches we knew this was the place for us.

Allow us to share this magical place with you. We hope that this place captures your heart as it did for us.

Why they chose this property

We decided to build here because of it’s perfect location. You're in the middle of the lush jungle surrounded by tropical beauty and with breathtaking 180 degrees of ocean views what else can you ask for. You are walking distance to the wonderful beaches as well as all the great restaurants, bars, and shops. There is no question or comparison that popular Manuel Antonio – with a selective eye on Vista Hermosa as your vacation prize – is the clear choice for any serious tropical vacationer. Simply consider how thousands continue to flock to the town’s in-demand beach of Playa Espadilla and its surrounding sands each year. Manuel Antonio is situated on rolling hills, drawing tourists to its breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, surrounding jungle, and rich pristine beaches. Manuel Antonio has managed to strike a fine balance between development and nature, maintaining plenty of its thick tropical rainforest. Even as a wide variety of tourism-based businesses have sprung up along the jungle forested hills, Manuel Antonio retains its integrity for what matters most to tourists. As you are sure to discover here, there is no shortage of beautiful wildlife to take in all around this picturesque town.

What makes this property unique

Manuel Antonio is perched high above the community’s enchanting national park and boasts world-class views and beaches. “Where the jungle meets the sea” is an understatement. Go beyond just imagining sparkling white sandy beaches, shimmering blue water, and the fresh ocean breeze… but actually, experience it all from a lounge chair on your Vista Hermosa balcony. Vista Hermosa Estate proudly takes the Manuel Antonio experience to the next level, making you feel like you are staying at a luxury hotel with only the finest Amenities.

We pride ourselves on being recognized for serving some of Costa Rica's most savory gourmet dishes to our guests. As a part of our services, we include a private gourmet chef to prepare 2-meals per day, food costs extra. Guests are able to choose meals from his menu, I have attached it to this e-mail. Our chef caters to vegans & vegetarians, as indicated with “VG” in the menu. He can also accommodate anyone with food allergies.

Nobody needs to shop, cook, or clean as your personal gourmet Chef does it all and saves you money as well by purchasing the freshest ingredients from local vendors - butchers and fishermen, where typically only Restaurants shop.

Your personal concierge will guide you to plan the best vacation experience ever. We also have two full-time maids who provide free laundry service. No cooking, cleaning or shopping for food, so our guests can focus on enjoying a tropical beach vacation.
