Villa Monos Bailarines: 2BR Home + 1BR Studio Guest House, Pool & Wildlife!

Welcome to Villa Monos Bailarines - aka 'House of the Dancing Monkeys'. This beautiful property is comprised of a 2-bedroom main home and 1-bedroom studio guest house around an idyllic pool terrace. Surrounding the property is a lush rainforest full of bamboo, palm and fruit trees, rife with the local wildlife.

A cement walkway descends from the parking area through the gardens to the villas. To the left is the main villa with its huge, covered patio. To the right is the studio guesthouse, also with an oversized, covered patio. Both communicate directly with the pool terrace, which is flanked by jungle.

The main home is two levels, with two spacious master bedrooms upstairs, each with king beds (one can be converted into 2 singles upon request). Each bedroom has AC, TVs, its own ensuite bathroom and access the upper balcony which overlooks the pool. Downstairs is an open living room with AC, a dining area and full kitchen, all of which communicate to the outdoor, covered patio via sliding glass doors.

The outdoor, covered patio is the heart of the property, and where you'll spend a lot of time. With a large table for eight people it is usually the preferred spot for meals, games and fun. A couple of steps lead down to the pool terrace, bringing the most important elements of the property into close proximity.

The studio guest house is spacious with high ceilings and a colonial feel. There is a large ensuite bathroom, AC, one queen bed and one double bed. On the far end of the huge, covered patio is a hammock--for those afternoon-nappers who want to be in a quiet spot.

The rainforest surrounding the villas is part of a biological corridor, and therefore bustling with wildlife. Common sights are sloths, agoutis, iguanas, butterflies and tons of birds, including the vainglorious toucans and scarlet macaws.

Oh--and monkeys. All three kinds. There are the howler monkeys--they're the ones that wake you up in the morning. There are the capuchin monkeys--they're the ones who steal your bananas and then glare at you for it. And there are the titi monkeys--those are the ones who truly love to dance.
