We were here in 2018 and it was such an amazing time we came back to do it again in 2020. Everyone is super-helpful from before you even arrive.... read more The property is amazing, and the staff can cater to your every need. The villas are large and great for families. Our villa was like a mansion for just two of us. Monkeys and exotic birds are everywhere. The best part is the beach, by far. It's huge, and at any given time there are maybe 100 people, tops, across an entire mile of beautiful sand. And you have your own reserved space with chairs and umbrellas, and a really nice guy named Michael is standing by to bring you lunch or drinks or whatever you need. There are also numerous restaurants and bars within walking distance or by taxi. We particularly liked Buena Vista Beach Club, Buru, Morpho and El Largato the best. Juan Pablo and the concierge staff are all very accommodating and can arrange whatever you want, including all kinds of excursions to go on - zip lining, whale watching, jungle tours, etc. It's a really great trip for anyone looking to enjoy a bit of luxury in Costa Rica, and we'll be back for sure. We miss it already! More

  Let me start by saying that the actual property was fine and the staff was very helpful. The villas are a bit outdated and could be more comfortable but were... read more clean. The views from the property are completely gone. There is a construction site between the property and the beach so the only view is now a black fence. Once the construction is done the view will be blocked. The walk to the beach is down a path in the woods. At the end of the path you must walk thru a dirty estuary . We observed horse manure being dropped in there from the horses on the beach. Along the path there is a hut used by a guy that rents chairs on the beach. Usually no big deal but sometimes it’s used by his friends to hang out and get high. We were uncomfortable walking the path when they were there. More

  Great location. Great beach. Beautiful grounds, well-maintained. Fun. Well-staffed. Clean and safe. The four villas provide serene private space, each having its own pool. The communal space called "Gather" is... read more lovely for coming together as a group for food, drinks, games, and/or making music.

  We had such a wonderful stay at the EOC. The Villa was perfect for a family of five. The plunge pool was so refreshing at the end of the day.... read more The staff was amazing, even packing an ice chest with drinks and delivering them to us at the beach. Breakfast was delicious and we even saw a monkey swinging from a tree while eating. Juan Pablo went out of his way to sure we were happy including arranging tours, getting equipment for the beach, and making sure that we had dinner arrangements each night. The location is great! The beach is right there and Manuel Antonio national park is walking distance! We saw tons of monkeys and a sloth the day before we left. Thanks again for a wonderful vacation! Katie and Marc

  Such a great location, the beach is a 30 second walk away! The beach in front is very quiet and the water was perfect for me and my two kids.... read more The place was very clean, and had all the basics. The staff were very kind and helpful. Juan Pablo was amazing, he was always there to help and offer honest advice on activities and places to see in the area. We saw so many animals right outside our window, toucans, monkeys, even a sloth 10’ from our bedroom window! The only thing was the construction that started on the property between the villas and the beach. I think it will be hard to call it a beachfront property in the future. However, we still had an amazing stay and loved our experience in Manuel Antonio!
