Geri's house lies off the beaten track & was just what we looked for.Jungle covered mountains in the background& a most refreshing creek running through the beautiful property. The caretakers Adrian&Juliana made the stay a special one:welcoming coconut drink,night tour on the property discovering Costa Rican wildlife & fishing forTilapia. We loved the atmosphere,the people& the time we spend there tremendously!!

Geri's place in Tropical River Paradise is exactly as described! If you are looking for an authentic local experience, this is the perfect place for you! The property is huge with a river right outside your door that you can swim in. It's about 20 minutes from the main city of Quepos, which was nice to be outside the hustle and bustle of a city. The caretakers of the property (Adrian and Juliana) were excellent hosts. They were super accommodating, helpful, and attentive. We wanted to explore Manuel Antonio Park and they were gracious enough to introduce us to their good friend, who is also a registered guide at the park. They also provided us with great recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and things to do in the area. Adrian led us on a tour of the property and shared his knowledge of local flora and fauna. Ask him to give you a night tour as well to see the animal nightlife! Adrian and Juliana definitely made us feel like a part of their family. Our side of the duplex was very spacious. The bathroom is clean and well kept. Our room was very comfortable as well! When you have the window shutters closed, absolutely no light comes in which was perfect for sleeping in! Set an alarm if you need to wake up at a particular time. :) We were able to met Geri since she happened to be staying at the property when we visited. We enjoyed speaking with her about her experiences in Costa Rica and back home in Canada. Overall, an amazing experience for us! It was exactly what we were looking for as far as having a unique local cultural experience. We plan to come back to visit!

Tropical River Paradise describes the property perfectly. I discovered this first-class gem by looking for a place with a/c that was in the campo to be closer to nature. Quepos seems a million miles away, but you can drive there in only 15 minutes! The rustic duplex cabin is spacious with modern furnishings, kitchen, a/c, nice bathroom, good hot water, gas grill, and a great covered porch rings the building. A beautiful, clean mountain stream flows right by the dwelling. When I first sat under the trees by the river, I was lost in time with my thoughts and serene feelings. Later visits down the short trail included sitting in the shallows enjoying the perfect water temperature and photographing the stream, butterflies, hummingbirds and waterfalls to capture some fraction of the beauty to remember later. Tropical vegetation arrangements merge with the natural growth, creating a lovely landscape. Natural rocks line trails and highlight the gorgeous plants. The trails and walking space along the river next to the cabin were so helpful in accessing the features of the property. Adrian and Juliana, the caretakers, make you feel like family, while managing the property to a high professional standard. Both formerly worked for years at one of the fine hotels in Manuel Antonio. Great formula: If you want professional management, hire professionals. A tilapia pond near the cabin is for guest use. Adrian and Juliana provided poles and bait for guests to catch fresh tilapia. They even bait the hook! Adrian cleans the fish and is happy to cook them for guests, too. Whatever help the guest wants is happily provided. We took a fun hike on this large property to where we viewed the coastline all the way to Manuel Antonio Park. The hosts are excellent guides, and there are many interesting creatures and plants to observe. Ever seen a big bush, almost a tree, with large red flowers that “eat” insects. Venus Flytraps look pretty lame next to these big boys. The owner is continuing to develop responsibly only small parts of this large property. The rest is already returning to its natural state. Surrounding owners are also protecting much of their adjoining properties from development. This owner has permanently banned horses or cows from the land to eliminate contamination. Commercial agriculture was eliminated, too. I highly recommend this destination to all travelers, and I am already making plans to visit again. The spacious lodgings can easily accommodate groups of friends or families, since 2 separate areas are available with 2 bedrooms each. All bedrooms have queen beds that 2 could share. Or 1 side only could be rented for a perfect romantic getaway. Are you really coming to Costa Rica to stay next to a supermarket in downtown Quepos? Why not stay 15 minutes from Quepos, but feel like you are a million miles away from town and in the REAL Costa Rica with hosts that feel like your best friends?

We have only stayed for two nights. A lengthy review by another guest describes the place very well. You need a rental car to explore the area. The restaurant at the nearby ranch (2 minute drive or about 10 minute walk) is good and even less expensive than in Quepos (nearby town about 15 minutes away by car). It is open air (no walls) so you need a bug repellent or you can order to go as we did. The resident managers, Adrian and Juliana, and the security guy, Alfredo, are very friendly but do not speak English. Thanks to my modest command of Spanish we had lots of interesting conversations. Their dog Camalo looks ferocious but is very friendly after you've been introduced. Their two-month old puppy is a cutie. Their three-year old son is a cutie, too. When you need privacy you do have it as they live in another cabin on the property. The guest house has two rental units. We were their alone. There is also a washer and a dryer and Juliana offers to do laundry for you (we did not use it). There is no wi-fi but there is cable TV with some channels in English (we watched mostly BBC World). The air conditioner is only in the master bedroom. So you have to keep its door open and the ceiling fans on. It was quite adequate for us during our stay in December-January. It is a nice place for a short stay. Geri, the host, responded quickly via airbnb and gave us directions. Having GPS is very important in Costa Rica. There are very few road signs.

Wow- super happy we found this place. Traveling through Costa Rica for 2 weeks and winging the lodging on Air BnB. I thought everything I was seeing on the post was too good to be true for the price and was pleasantly surprised that this was not the case. This is an amazing little cabin tucked away in the rural outskirts of the beach towns. It is secluded, so having your own transportation is recommended. If you're looking for something within walking or reasonable biking distance, this might not be the place for you. If you're staying a few nights and want an amazing personable experience, you should stay here. Adrian and Juliana greeted us with coconuts (w/ little umbrellas) and a genuine desire to help us with anything we needed. Alberto, the security guard opens and closes the gate when you come in and out at night (you have privacy and security here). The place is perfect and fully equipped with anything you need. Only 1 bedroom has A/C, the other has a fan which is fine. Geri is great and happy to show you around the property or have Adrian give you a tour of the trails (the place is 55 acres) and a short hike will lead to beautiful views of mountains and the ocean (I saw an iguana and a monkey hiking there as well). After the hike, you can cool off in the perfect little pool in the gently flowing river. Relax in a hammock, ride mountain bikes (2 provided) and do laundry if you need to- Juliana will fold your clothes and have them waiting neatly for you. Adrian took us on a night tour in the yard and we saw frogs and plants most people pay $20 to see on a 'Jungle' tour. This place is seriously an amazing find and I can't say enough about our experience here- the place and the people. I look forwarding to coming back here on my next trip to Costa Rica!

Adrian and Juliana, who keep the house Gerri are very friendly and happy people. they made it possible that we are happy and content. bathing in the river we liked, we saw a group of monkeys by chance and unforgettable sunset from a hill near the cabin. We enjoyed the two days.

Thierry was an excellent host. He had some snacks ready for me when I got there, which was fantastic, because I was hungry after a long journey. He gave great advice on the public transportation and the places to go in Quepos and Manuel Antonio. There's so much wildlife you can see from just the porch. While I was there I saw bats, hummingbirds, a sloth, howler monkeys, white-faced monkeys, and butterflies. The property is very pretty to go for a walk and there's also a canopy tour area that you can walk the trails. You're only a short bus ride to downtown Quepos. I would highly recommend staying here. I felt very safe here.

Thierry's little studio was AMAZING to stay at while in Costa Rica. The bus to Manuel Antonio was easy, yet it was off the beaten path enough to be great for relaxing. On one of our nights there a troop of monkeys swung past the porch and we spent some time in the hammock every evening watching the bats come out. Thierry is a great host as well, providing coffee, pastries and tour bookings should you want them. He also provided tips for the best snorkeling and less-popular beachfronts. Thanks Thierry for a great stay, I'd recommend this great studio to anyone!

My husband and I went on our honeymoon to Costa Rica and were looking for an affordable place to stay. Thierry's place was perfect! He was an incredible host helping us set up tours and answering all of our questions about Quepos and Manuel Antonio. He even had a fresh pineapple and some other snacks waiting for us when we arrived! Thierry gave us plenty of privacy with our own little isolated balcony and never came down to our apartment unless we were expecting him and even then he always called down and let us come outside to meet him, which we appreciated. This place is named perfectly since we saw a few groups of two types of monkeys, a large gecko, a bunch of lizards, two poison dart frogs, and a sloth not to mention a banana spider and many butterflies. All of this was just right outside of our door. We loved it! If there were a downside to anything it would be that the howler monkeys can wake you up in the middle of the night (which only happened once and wasn't even a bad thing because we loved seeing and hearing them!) and that a little scorpion got into the room but that was our fault because my husband kept leaving the screen door and windows open. So close the screens and you won't have any problems! We absolutely loved staying here and can't say enough good things about Thierry! You won't find a kinder, more generous host.

Sistemazione di Thierry era eccellente e riflette esattamente quello che si legge su di esso Airbnb. Tuttavia, charme di Thierry, l'abbraccio della giungla che si sente quando si soggiornare in questo splendido posto rende il vostro soggiorno un experiece eccezionale ed unico !!! Thierry, grazie per tutti i buoni consigli e aiuto, le parole Friedly e per farci sentire a casa !! Speriamo di poter tornare un giorno e si prega di dire ciao a tutti gli animali, il vostro giardino '!!

Gerne kann ich dieses kleine, hübsche und saubere Appartament weiter empfehlen. Der Urwald grenzt an die Terrasse, es ist ruhig, sauber und alles was man so braucht ist vorhanden. Gleich vor der Haustür gibt es einen wunderschönen Spaziergang durch den Wald mit vielen Tieren zum Beobachten. Als Alleinreisende habe ich mich sicher gefühlt. Die Strasse ist ca. 100 Meter weiter unten und mit günstigen Taxis ist man in 5 Min in Quepos.

Thierry war eine unglaubliche Gastgeber, konnte ich nicht meine Reise nach Costa Rica in einem schöneren Ort als zu Hause zu beenden. Nur die Natur um Sie herum und die Bäume und Tiere machen es zu einem Paradies. Reinigung und Pflege Detail ist ausgezeichnet in der Wohnung, und die Kommunikation mit den Stränden und dem Nationalpark Manuel Antonio sehr einfach und billig. Thierry vielen Dank für so gute Betreuung und lehren idyllische Orte, die in Costa Rica bleiben. Halten Sie sich auf diesen Sitzungen und das nächste Mal spielen wird keine Geige verpassen !!!

Thierry fue un gran anfitrión! Tuvimos problemas para encontrar el lugar ya que fuimos allí por la noche. Para los futuros agentes de reserva, busque una parada de autobús cerca de una puerta de seguridad con un signo de club de tenis y subir la colina. Thierry fue muy paciente y se mantuvo en contacto con nosotros a través de mensajes de texto. Llegamos varias horas más tarde, pero esto no fue un problema, así que nos esperaba. Tenía frutas y galletas para nosotros en la cocina. El estudio es una unidad por debajo de la casa principal. Se exactamente como aparece. El bosque fuera del balcón es simplemente increíble. Una familia de varios monos vino a visitarnos! Era tan tranquilo y silencioso, pero al mismo tiempo tan cerca del puerto deportivo y el Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio para todas las necesidades turísticas. La habitación estaba un poco caliente pero teníamos 3 ventiladores así que estaba bien. Recomendamos encarecidamente este lugar !!

This is great place to stay if you're interested in waking up to see monkeys from your porch. The apartment was perfectly clean and had everything we needed. Thierry was excellent in his communication and a very gracious host.

The bachelor apartment was a good size for 2 people. The kitchen was rather difficult to make meals in, due to lack of counter space. Other renters were friendly and visited with us. Our room had large windows to the west and overheated the room, and since the air conditioner couldn't be turned up higher because our host was unable to get the remote to work – we had to go for drives in our car to get cool. Internet worked well with just a few interruptions. Security was extremely poor as the gate was not closed at night and our car was broken into right in front of our apartment. The building is on the road to Quepos and traffic runs 24hrs a day. It was very loud with engine jack braking and 4 stroke motorcycles and ATVs. The Toucans visited everyday and the were beautiful to watch. But not a place I would want to come back to.

This place needs some real TLC. As suggestions had been given to the host on some improvements relating showers, wifi, cleanliness, cooking facilities and attention to details, we can only say that this pad didn't live up to the picture nor our expectation.

Elias était un hôte incroyable. Il a rapidement répondu à notre demande quand nous avions nulle part où rester en raison du temps. Non seulement il accepte notre demande, il a pu nous laisser venir à la maison tôt pour échapper à la pluie. Une fois que nous étions là-bas, il nous a donné des conseils sur les endroits où manger et ce que nous pourrions faire dans la région. Quand nous sommes allés marcher pour voir les animaux, nous l'avons passé dans la rue, et il nous a rejoint pendant quelques minutes afin d'assurer que nous avons vu des singes et des paresseux. Ses suggestions pour la nourriture étaient tout simplement spectaculaire. Il est très accueillant, et nous prévoyons certainement revenir en arrière et rester à sa résidence à nouveau. Ce fut un plaisir absolu de le rencontrer et de rester à son bel endroit. PURA VIDA !!! Don Elias! :)

Elias and his family were the most welcoming and pleasant hosts. Their space we rented for a month was very bright, open and clean. If we had any issues at all, Elias was always available and generous. The area is a hidden gem and has so much to offer and explore just steps from the apartment. If we are ever back in Costa Rica, we would definitely return. Thank you Elias!!

Элиас был замечательный хозяин! Он не мог бы быть более дружественными и приветливы. По прибытии, он пригласил нас в местный ресторан, где можно выпить и поужинать. После обеда он привел нас на рынок местных фермеров, где мы купили свежие фрукты. Элиас предложил много предложений, чтобы улучшить наш 3 дня пребывания в Quepos. Квартира была в точности, как описано, даже лучше! Очень удобно с кондиционером и потолочные вентиляторы. Мы надеемся вернуться в будущем.

очень удобные, просторные и с прекрасным видом на квартиру. Элиас был не только великий хозяин, но и большое руководство, я позаботился о комфортной apartartamento, я рекомендовал рестораны и прогулки, мы сделали прогулку по лесу вокруг квартиры, большие !!!! Еще раз спасибо и увидеть вас скоро Элиас

We had a great stay at Elias' apartment. It is a great location just out of Quepos but still very close to town and Manuel Antonio. It is in a family residential area right next to beautiful jungle full of trails and wildlife! The apartment was much bigger than photos show. Very roomy, very clean and comfortable. Great value for low price. Full kitchen, AC, hot water, wifi, tv.. you usually pay much higher price for these luxuries in Costa Rica! Great apartment. And Elias is a great guy. He let us book very last minute in the evening which was much appreciated. Greeted us warmly with his lovely family. Had many local recommendations and told us about the amazing hiking trails just by the apartment. So glad he did. I'm obsessed with sloths, so when we told him we were going to wake early to walk and look for them, he kindly offered to join and show us around. We found 3 sloths in the first 10 minutes! We were especially happy to be staying there when Manuel Antonio park was closed due to weather warnings. Elias sent through many alternate options and offered to arrange them. But Instead we just spent the day exploring the jungle trails just by the apartment and found plenty of wildlife. All right in the backyard. Would highly recommend staying in this great apartment and meeting Elias and his family !

The rooms were just as pictured. The host as great and worked with us since we really didn't plan on staying in the area and needed a place to stay last minute. Even with the short notice Elias had a clean place for us and helped us with all our gear even in the rain. Really appreciated how welcome we felt and how willing he was to make sure we had a great stay.

Muy bonito estudio y con todo lo necesario para pasar unas buenas vacaciones, un poco lejos del centro pero vale la pena !

hôtesse incroyable, nous a aidés à profiter de notre séjour. Très bien situé, beaucoup d'intimité, moderne et très propre. Une grande nuit, chambre bien équipée. Super confortable et fortement recommandé.

Comfortable room, with a great service and attention, makes you feel at home. Has a TV, air conditioning, private bathroom. Quiet place, perfect to rest.

Our stay at Yangtse's place was great. The room was big And very clean, it even have a fridge. Yangtse is very nice and met us in town for the adress. I highly recommand you to go to Yangtse appartment.

La anfitriona fue extremadamente atenta con nosotros, nos dio recomendaciones de todo, desde tours hasta restaurantes y bares. Siempre contestando los mensajes y preguntando por nuestra comodidad. La habitación está increíble!

Un accueil exceptionnel et une adresse à retenir. Nous avons été accueilli par Pamela et Jorge dans un appartement tout confort. Mais C est surtout les petites attentions comme un petit déjeuner typique ou un cours de tortillas qui ont fait la différence. On se sent vraiment chez soi chez Pamela et Jorge et surtout au costa rica. Exceptionnel!

C'est une grande pièce aménagée en studio, avec douche et toilettes tout a fait fonctionnel. Il n'y a pas de cuisine, mais l'hôte a installé un petit table avec de quoi se faire du café. Il y a également des services et un frigo. L'hôte est très accueuillante et aimable.

Pamela y Jorge hicieron que nuestra estancia sea inolvidable, que eran tan amable y cariñoso, no podemos agradecer lo suficiente. Nuestro hijo estaba enfermo en el primer día y Pamela nos llevó a la clínica donde estaba segura de nuestro seguro de que funcionaría, y fue el mejor médico, y el seguro cubría todo (de lo contrario IV, etc puede haber sido una fortuna). Y ella se quedó con nosotros allí hasta que él era mejor (!!!) por no hablar de todos los consejos sobre lo que debe hacer en la zona, no habríamos descubierto los resortes "ocultos" en caliente, que era nuestro lugar favorito, y Jorge nos mostró su lugar de pesca favorito (!) y Pamela nos alimentaron especial de Navidad y año nuevo platos (!) Muchas gracias, Pamela y Jorge, nos sentimos como en casa y vamos a echar mucho de menos. (Pamela, gracias por la práctica española! Seré toootally fluidez próxima vez :)

All very good, big and with all the comforts space, a bit off the center but in return you get tranquility and the chance to wander around!

Pulizia e tranquilla montagna

Pamela and Jorge are fantastic hosts. They were very accommodating and made our visit pleasant. The rooms are relatively new and off the beaten path, which we like since we had a car and didn't need to be in large hotels or crowded or noisy hostels. They have multiple rooms so be sure to specify the room or numbers/types of beds. The whole process was smooth and we enjoyed our stay.

Je suis resté une nuit avec Pamela et Jorge. Vous ne pouvez pas trouver un meilleur hôte qu'eux! Je me sentais si bien accueillis. Jorge m'a depuis le terminal de bus et m'a montré autour. Il m'a aussi conduit à Manuel Antonio. Je suis essentiellement eu ma propre maison dans leur cour. La chambre était propre et tout fonctionnait. L'emplacement était agréable, à seulement 30 minutes à pied du centre-ville de Quepos. Pamela a même fait un petit déjeuner mais je devais précipiter pour le parc national. Extrêmement beau séjour. Hautement recommandé!

A very nice place and the hosts were very helpful, I recommend it widely

Mi casa es tu casa...this motto rang true from the moment we stepped into Nicolas & Pascal's gorgeous home. Thanks for your hospitality & making our stay so special. Everything was perfect!

We highly recommend this place to stay it has incredible ocean views, great environment in the middle of the forest and close to restaurants as well. The owners Nicholas and Pascal are great persons and very diligent with hosts! BTW the house and views are much better than what the pictures shows

My wife and I planned this trip to celebrate our 20 year anniversary. We were very pleased with the hospitality of the owner and quality of this property. Amazing sunsets from the infinity pool overlooking the jungle canopy was much more than we expected. We had an extremely relaxing and comfortable stay. I highly recommend this location for any special vacation plans. Thank you Nicolas and Pascal for an amazing Costa Rica experience.

This house is incredible. Nothing compares! Not one detail missed. The decor and location is phenomenal. Nicolas and Pascal were the most gracious hosts. A MUST STAY !

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Like no shit. Haha I usually write brutally honest review and this place exceeded my expectations and very little complaints. The house and surrounding areas are extremely clean and kept. My room was provided with everything I needed. The host are superb and will help you with anything, it doesn't even seem like an airbnb. They are so helpful with questions you have and anything you need to make you more comfortable. I would definitely stay here again. My only note to other guests is the trip to get there. The place is very high up, if you can't park at the spots provided you need a little bit of steep walking up hill and just stair walking to get to your rooms. If you stay for a long period of time (4-8 days) it's not like a hotel where someone comes in to clean the room you'll just need to keep it up yourself. Besides that, by far this is bed best airbnb I've stayed at and it being worth the money. Pura Vida.

Un logement 5 étoiles !

This home is incredible. I would definitely return. The hosts are lovely and made our stay very enjoyable.

Diese Jungs sind super! Sie sind sehr gastfreundlich und bereit aus dem Weg zu gehen, um Ihren Aufenthalt komfortabel zu machen. Ich hatte eine tolle Erfahrung im Casa Luna de Plata bleiben. Eine der schönsten Aussichten, die ich je gesehen habe.

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights and it was an incredible experience! Nathalie is great host and gives great recommendations for places to go around the area. We had a breathtaking view and an infinity edge pool. There was a kitchen to cook your own food and you are within a close proximity to the town of quepos. I would definitely recommend this place to others. We greatly enjoyed our stay their! :)

La place de Natalie est nouvelle et très agréable. Elle a une belle maison sur une propriété sécurisée sur le dessus de la colline et trois logements locatifs qui sont éloignés les uns des autres. L'une de ces unités a même sa propre piscine, donc il y a deux piscines sur la propriété. Nous avions une chambre et avait une vue magnifique sur la vallée de notre balcon. Nathalie a joliment meublées et fini toutes les unités avec style. Nous avons également vu toucans et autres oiseaux chaque matin de notre balcon. La maison se trouve au sommet d'une colline et cela nécessitait trois à quatre minutes en voiture sur une route de gravier bien entretenu. Quelles ont été les vues imprenables que vous obtenez à partir de là. Nathalie était aussi très sympathique et charmante, et très serviable. Je me suis senti très chanceux nous étions les premiers clients dans cet endroit.

Tolle Erfahrung im Nathalies Casa Libert'inn. Wir haben beide wirklich die Privatsphäre der Wohnung, und die Möglichkeit, rund um die Immobilie die erstaunlichen Pool und Lounge-Bereiche zu verwenden. Das Haus ist sehr ruhig und abgelegen und doch nahe zu allen Quepos' großer Restaurants und Sehenswürdigkeiten. Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet Frühstück und Smoothies machen auf der Terrasse zu genießen, während in der Ansicht und die Tierwelt nehmen. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder, und schätzen die Gastfreundschaft, die wir erhalten!

Nathalie como anfitrión fue genial! Ella nos recibió con los batidos y se aseguró de que estábamos cómodos en todo momento. Su lugar era como un hotel privado con toallas limpias y mobiliario nuevo. En cuanto a la ubicación, que era preciosa. La vista y la piscina era perfecta temperatura no quería salir. Altamente recomendado.

Nathalie's place was incredible! It was better than anything we had expected! Nathalie and her husband were extremely welcoming and she gave us great advice on visiting and dining in the area. The place had beeathtaking views including walking up to some gorgeous sunsets! It was extremely clean and an overall incredible place..... highly recommended!

Nathalie or should I say Ms. "No problem" as we called her, was an AMAZING host! She made our overall Costa Rica experience far beyond our expectations. All of her recommendations for restaurants, beaches to visit, things to do, places to shop, etc were all A+++. We wanted a romantic getaway as this trip was for our honeymoon and Nathalie's home was the perfect place. She far exceeded our expectations and even helped me organize one of the best home massages I have gotten to date! It was beyond relaxing waking up to the sounds of nature every morning. The home was very clean, we were provided with toiletries, towels, a fully equipped kitchen, and the morning sunrise is out of this world! The location is prime, it's in a gated community with security and very close to a lot of shops, restaurants, etc. We highly recommend a 4X4 as the roads are pretty steep, but it's well worth it once you see the views and you meet Nathalie and her friendly dog. The pool was very clean, private, and came with its own fully equipped bar, restroom, shower, and kitchen area. The views from the pool are also amazing! I cannot say enough about this home, it's truly a gem in a perfect location in Quepos. You are within 10 minutes of Manuel Antonio park and it's also a great location if you are wanting to drive to nearby areas. Thanks again for the amazing stay Nathalie, we will surely be visiting again soon!

Staying here was wonderful. The location is secluded and quiet with an amazing view of the jungle. The apartment opens up onto a balcony where you can see the most amazing sunrises while eating breakfast. The infinity pool was large and luxurious. Our host was very thoughtful in laying out fruit and pool towels and even made us smoothies! I would definitely recommend a rental car if you are staying here as it is up a little ways from the main road. Great for couples. It felt like a little private resort just for us!

Our stay at Grettel´s place was even better than expected. We wanted to have privacy and a place away from the worst hotel areas in Manuel Antonio and this was perfect. The apartment is located at the end of a street and the back is surrounded with vegetation. It felt very private even though other groups of people rented apartments next door(shared terrass) and 1 floor above. The location is perfect if you have a car. There is only a 5 min drive to Manuel Antonio national park and the main beach. There are also many places to visit 30 min-1 h hour drive away-for example Nauyaca Waterfalls. We had an amazing time in Quepos and the surroundings!

Gretel's place is amazing for a couple. We saw lots of monkeys every day at the rooftop terrace. Great little space has everything you need plus the kitchen is equipped with all the essentials. The location is perfect, one minute walk from the main road which the bus comes every 10 to 15 minutes. There is also a little grocery stores right up the street where you can buy all your local food. If you're looking for a place to stay just to check out manual Antonio park this is perfect seeing as you get to stay right in the jungle but you're still only a minute walk from the bus which takes 10 minutes to get to the park entrance. Gretel is a very nice lady who lives underneath the apartments so it was very easy to text her through the Airbnb app whenever we needed something and she would be right up to help us. If you do plan on cooking meals make sure you clean up well afterwards, seeing as you're in Costa Rica the ants will come from anywhere to find that piece of rice you dropped on the ground. When we arrive the place was super clean and very inviting, Gretel had snacks and free coffee for us on arrival overall was a great experience. Me and my girlfriend stayed four nights and at first we thought it might be too much time in that area but it worked out perfectly between going to the park for a day, the local beach just outside the park which is also very beautiful, and I highly recommend the sunset sail snorkel tour.

Amazing little studio. 2 minute walk from the bus stop, 5 minutes from downtown. Lots of little groceries close by. Basic kitchen but was not lacking for cooking food in. Very clean and comfortable. Never got too hot during our stay. Grettel is an amazing host that was great at meeting and exceeding our (constantly changing) needs. Would recommend to anybody looking for a nice stay in quepos.

This is a really nice little studio apartment on the edge of Quepos making it nice and quiet and surrounded by vegetation and animals. Grettel was a perfect host and provided everything we needed. The apartment is essentially one room with a comfy bed and a little kitchenette with adjoining private bathroom as well as the balcony. For the two of us it was just what we needed and good value. The kitchenette was well stocked and everything was very clean and also modern. We saw loads of wildlife from our balcony as well as the sun setting over the town. It is also very convenient for picking up the bus just at the end of the road to head into Manual Antonio (310 colones). We would definitely recommend this place and Grettel as your host. She also has two other apartments in the same block which are bigger and looked very nice.

Bonne adresse pour trois ou quatre jours, Grettel est charmante, de l'eau fraîche à l'arrivée est bienvenue, le bâtiment est dans la verdure. Plage à 6km. Studio un peu petit, les prix en général au Costa Rica sont trop surévalués.

Fue una gran estancia en el apartamento Brunxu. Limpio, con electrodomésticos nuevos y hasta con una lavadora disponible fuera. El patio en la 3ª planta ofrece una zona de relax y buena vista.

Wir haben gerne Ausflüge in die umliegende Tierwelt (Leguane, Eichhörnchen Affen ...) die sind zu Hause ... Wir genossen die Nähe zum Dorf von Quepos, die alle Einrichtungen hat: Supermärkte, Apotheken, Restaurants, Eisdielen, Geldautomaten, Spiele für Kinder ... Wo wir jeden Tag zu Fuß ging und die schöne Kiesstrand und Spiele für Kinder ... Das Studio ist bequem und bietet alles, was für einen angenehmen Aufenthalt benötigt. Die Nähe zur Bushaltestelle in Richtung Manuel Antonio war sehr bequem auf den Park und den Sandstränden zu erreichen. Preiswert. Wir genossen die Freundlichkeit des Wirtes und seiner Wahl. Gretel danke, werden wir mit Freude bei der Gelegenheit wieder kommen.

The listing is just as described. The apartment backs onto the jungle, so it feels very private and safe. The shower was (surprisingly) warm if desired, but we generally took cold ones because of the heat in Quepos. Walking distance to lots of little Typical restuarants. Our favourite restaurant was called Tico Restaurant & Bar (I think) and it had fantastic food. There is a local beach, but you either need to walk out to it at low-tide, or take a little water taxi across and walk through the local village. The locals were all very helpful and accommodating, and we hardly saw many tourists at all. The water is completely fine to drink and we drank it constantly. It was VERY hot in Quepos, and as mentioned in the ad, there is no AC. This is normal in the area, and there is a fan in the room. We're from Canada so it took a few days of adjusting to the temperature difference. The best part was the monkeys. We hadn't seen any for the first couple days, but suddenly a HUGE group of capuchins and squirrel monkeys passed through one morning. They played on the rooftop patio and jumped in the trees. Fantastic experience! Would definitely recommend this to someone that wants an up-close experience with wildlife.

El anfitrión cancelado la reserva el día antes de la llegada. Esta es una publicación automatizada.

Luz and Mateo's place is wonderful 2 bedroom house on top of the hill overlooking beautiful rain forest The place is super cozy superclean. Luz and Mateo's are one of the greatest hostess you will find. We wanted to get married at the beach last minute and Luz was able to find us a priest and the beach at one of the most gorgeous beach spot in Manuel Antonio it was something unbelievable that ended with Rainbow. Thank you Luz and Mateo for helping us create one of the most unforgettable moment of our lives we love u guys!

Maravillosa ubicación muy cerca de la ciudad pero muy tranquilo. El Gardner era muy eficiente en reuniones nosotros y nos lo siguió hasta el lugar.

Definitely would recommend staying here! 10/10!

Tuvimos una maravillosa estancia en casa de Luz en Quepos. La ubicación es fácil de encontrar, pero se siente seguro y aislado escondido en la parte superior de una colina. Luz se comunicó con nosotros la cantidad justa antes y durante el viaje, y era útil para hacer recomendaciones. El apartamento es precioso - limpio, espacioso y cómodo. Lo usamos para un día de relax y como base para explorar Quepos y Manuel Antonio.

Acabo de terminar mi estancia en casa de la selva de Luz y fue increíble. La casa estaba limpia, con un montón de luz natural que ofrece vistas a la selva y piscina. La casa está aislada así que no hay ruido, excepto para las aves, insectos, monos y todo lo que compone la selva. Quepos es un rápido 2 minutos a pie de comida o cualquier cosa que necesite y playas de Manuel Antonio está a sólo 5 minutos en coche. Luz vive arriba y conoce muy bien la zona, así que no tenga miedo de hacer preguntas acerca de las mejores playas, restaurantes o cómo moverse. Los monos vienen realmente a través de casi todos los días! Vi a los monos tití cara blanca y varias veces justo en el patio, alrededor de la piscina y en el tejado de la casa. Si estás buscando una estancia tranquila en la selva de Manuel Antonio / Quepos este lugar es imprescindible!

Dorit was very nice when we finally met her as we were checking out. She appears to be the marketing person for this apartment complex—not the owner. For those of us who have used AirBnB for a few years, we have seen an increasing trend away from the original concept of sharing space with the property owner. We would love to see AirBnB require “hosts” to identify as owner and/or agent as appropriate. This apartment is one of eight units located in an amazing tropical rain forest setting on a hill overlooking the swimming pool. It is within easy walking distance of the town of Quepos – a definite plus for us. Most of the tourist facilities in this area are clustered along the road to the park and are more expensive and less interesting if you prefer a more authentic Costa Rica experience. Aside from the very reasonable price, the apartment itself is modern, spacious and well-appointed. The balcony overlooking the pool with a tropical forest backdrop is great. The solar heated hot water is nice, and Reyna, the maid, was helpful and very thorough, and is one of our favorite Ticas. This property represents an exceptional value in an expensive, heavily touristed part of Costa Rica, We heartily recommend it but with two caveats: 1) If you are not accustomed to high humidity and intend to use both bedrooms, be aware that air conditioning is only in the master bedroom, and you will be told not to attempt to make it cool the rest of the apartment. The owner was kind enough to get us a powerful fan for the second bedroom, which helped somewhat, but for those of us unaccustomed to high humidity, the afternoon and evening heat can feel oppressive. Frequent dips in the pool saved us. Also, we discovered that putting the AC in “Dry” mode, seemed to reduce the humidity better than leaving it in Cooling mode. 2) According to the amenities in the listing, smoking is not allowed. Unfortunately, our neighbors were frequently smoking on the next balcony and the smoke came right into our unit causing us to have to shut the door and window (which didn't help the humidity problem). If you have a low tolerance for second hand smoke, beware.

Richard's place was great, and he was very accommodating and helped made our visit less taxing on us. They arranged our tours and answered any questions we had about the town. The property is nice, there's a grueling hill to hike, but it was a good workout. There is also a spa located within the property that is very nice.

La vérité est que est certainement la pire airbnb je l'ai visité. Le premier jour, nous sommes arrivés à la nuit et avait oublié de nous laisser la clé, nous avons dû attendre un certain temps avant que nous puissions régler. Deuxièmement, le nettoyage est limitée et bien au-dessus, je pense qu'il peut être amélioré. Le troisième jour, nous étions sans poque de l'eau, il avait épuisé en raison de la forte affluence de visiteurs dans la ville (on nous a dit). Une propriété comme celui-ci devrait avoir propre privé et ce qui pourrait arriver aux dépôts. Comme les points positifs et l'environnement que les maisons étaient acceptables, un peu plus. Le prix était pas mal.

Nice place !

El apartamento era incluso mejor de lo que esperaba que fuera. Teníamos agua caliente, internet funcionaba muy bien y la piscina era precioso al final del día. La única cosa que no anticipamos fue la caminata empinada hasta el edificio. No es mucho, pero estar preparado para ello. La parada de autobús a Manuel Antonio se encuentra a menos de 5 minutos a pie del apartamento y Quepos es pequeño y fácil de navegar.

Je me sentais très bien accueillis et soignés à Manuel Antonio Estates. Il y avait des problèmes mineurs avec la chambre quand je suis arrivé (climatiseur, boîte de sécurité), mais ils ont été complètement classais très rapidement par le personnel amical. Je reviendrais ici!

¡Gran lugar! La recepcionista es muy amable y dispuesto a ayudarte en cualquier cosa. Queríamos un apartamento con aire acondicionado en ambas habitaciones y ella fue capaz de encontrar uno para nosotros después de que nos registramos. La ubicación es genial! Menos de 5 minutos de la Marina en Quepos, en torno a 7 minutos a Playa Biesanz y 10 minutos del Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio. La piscina era agradable, pero no tan limpio.

Dorit was amazing through the entire process. She always got back to me very quickly when I messaged her before the trip. We were originally going to check in around 3pm because we were going to take the bus from San Jose, but my husband fell and hurt his ankle the day before our trip. I messaged her to let her know we would be arriving a lot earlier since we would be taking a private taxi. Even though someone had checked out that morning she made the arrangements and had the place cleaned spotless when we arrived three hours early. The condo was absolutely perfect for our trip. It had all the necessary amenities needed and was a beautiful place to stay. My husband is from Manuel Antonio and I had lived there previously, and let's just say we "roughed it" for two years in comparison to this immaculate condo. The air conditioning worked amazing at night when we slept, so good that we would have to turn it off in the middle of the night because we got cold. My sister also traveled with us and had the room with no air conditioning and mentioned that she never got too hot. She loved her room so much she said "I wish I could take this bedroom home with me to Florida, I love everything about it!" We didn't really need help with tours or anything since my husband is a local we knew our way around. Rayna, the lady that helps clean the condos, is just the sweetest and she did a fabulous job as well! She worked around our schedule since there were mornings we didn't wake up early. The pool has the best jungle feeling with all of the luscious plants and iguanas surrounding it. In the hot afternoons that we got back to the condo, we would rinse off and cool off in the pool. I can't say enough great things about Dorit and the amazing condo! Until my husband and I build our own house in Manuel Antonio, we will continue to come back and stay at the condos when we come to visit his family! We even had to check out extremely early (not during office hours) and Dorit made check out convenient by allowing us to leave our keys with the guard at the front entrance on our way out. Overall, we had an amazing trip, and can't wait to get back!

Давид был большим войском, и на его место был назначен красиво, удобно, и тихо. Определенно рекомендую.

Wir kamen spät nach einer langen Flugzeug und Auto fahren mit viel Mühe, aber sobald wir es David und Rene waren unglaublich hilfsbereit und freundlich! Die apt. ist wunderschön und die Aussicht ist unglaublich, vor allem aus der Infinity-Pool. Die Annehmlichkeiten sind toll und der Gastgeber ist sehr hilfsbereit. Quepos und Manuel Antonio sind wunderschön und es gibt keinen Mangel an Aktivitäten. Insgesamt war unser bedaure nur, dass wir wünschten, wir hätten länger bleiben können!

We had a great time. The place was nice and quiet and clean. I would reccomend if you are looking to get away from the road in Manuel Antonio.

The apartment was lovely and the pool was perfect for evening swims. David was very kind and helpful during our stay. I would definitely come back!

Les photos ne font pas justice de la propriété - il est vraiment un bel endroit. Les vues sont superbes et la piscine est parfaite. L'emplacement est à 5 minutes en voiture de Manuel Antonio, une voiture est recommandée. Le seul problème sur la propriété est la quantité de bugs / cafards qui peuvent entrer dans l'appartement. De plus, il y avait des travaux en cours à côté (construction d'une maison), qui a fait rendre notre séjour un peu bruyant. Cependant, dans l'ensemble, la place de David est fortement recommandé et un peu de paradis!

My wife and I shard a wonderful week at the Hummingbird and found it to be a very nice start to our CR experience. David was good with communication and helpful in sharing ideas on the many things to do near Manuel Antonio. Soon his place will have a finished pool which will enhance the experience even more. Thanks David for a great introduction to CR hospitality

The Hummingbird was amazing! Equally amazing was our host, David, who went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. From picking us up from the airport and dropping us off, to giving us great recommendations for restaurants (go to Ronny's for an incredible sunset!!), to writing out directions to the apartment for us to give to taxi drivers (the other reviews are correct, it is off the beaten path...but that's what makes the place, especially the infinity pool, so beautiful!). I am already planning another trip for next year!

Que puis-je dire. Derrière chaque grand Airbnb est un hôte fantastique. David et René étaient fantastiques et très accommodant. Il était généreux pour nous offrir quelques tours, comme nous étions avec une voiture. Ses recommandations pour la région étaient justes! L'appartement est exactement sinon mieux que les photos et nous ne pouvons dirai jamais assez de la piscine. Nous espérons revenir bientôt.
