Our family just spent a comfortable week at EOC. The pros: great location a short walk on a jungle path to the beach, there are several restaurants in... read more walking distance, great set up for five people, the kitchen had what we needed to make easy meals, loved the outdoor area next to the plunge pool where monkeys would visit in the morning, the villa was very clean when we arrived and cleaning staff visited every morning at 10, best of all their concierge was super helpful in setting up activities, transportation and covid testing both before and during our stay. The cons: the villas are close to the main road which is busy during the day, the property between the villas and the beach is being developed (it is the driveway of the new place that borders the villas so my guess is construction noise wouldn't be too bad? there was none going on during our stay), our villa could have used some easy updates such as new pillows and window coverings that covered the whole window.
Overall we enjoyed our stay here and feel that what is represented here on TripAdvisor is accurate with the exception that it is not "beachfront" but is closer to the beach than nearly all other properties in Manuel Antonio. Feel free to PM me with questions. More

  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

  This was my first visit to Costa Rica, and it will not be the last. The EOC was fantastic! The views of the sunsets from the villas and beaches... read more are spectacular. I stayed in Villa #3 and it was perfect, from the bedrooms, kitchen, porch with a mini pool, and hammock it was the perfect place to relax with friends. Chris Bishop was the perfect host, we enjoyed the Manuel Antonio National Park, great restaurants, and afternoons on the beach relaxing. The staff was outstanding and attentive from the minute we arrived till we left! Bobby and his wife Shelly Workman went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. I would recommend the EOC for a friend or family vacation spot. There are tons of things to do and see within walking distance. I am looking forward to my next stay at the EOC.

  Our experience at the EOC completely surpassed our expectations. From the moment we arrived we were blown away by the beauty of the property and of each villa.
The... read more staff at the EOC who helped us organize everything prior to our arrival as well as oversee everything during our stay were outstanding and went above and beyond. Juan Pablo took such amazing care of our whole group.
We stayed here for our, very small, destination wedding. We brought our immediate family and a close friend each, and no other accommodations could have been better suited for this. The staff all added extra touches and lovely support surrounding the wedding as well, for which we are so grateful.
Such a quick walk to the beach from the villas over a small grassy lot which was lovely. We were so happy we had all of the kitchen amenities available to us as well so we could prepare our own food and drinks when desired. Taking a stroll down the beach to the local supermarket is always such a pleasure in Manuel Antonio.
Our fathers loved spending time in the pools at each villa and there was a private little area with chairs set up for us each day on the beach, where we spent most of our time.
Also so nice and close to the National Park, just a quick walk. One of our favourite places to visit in Manuel Antonio.
We are so grateful we found + booked the EOC for our "wedding vacation" and so honored we could share such a beautiful country and accommodations with our loved ones.
It will be our honor and absolute pleasure to visit again one day!
Pura Vida!

  We had the best time at The EOC! It was one of the most relaxing vacations I have ever been on. We enjoyed all of the amenities, including the pools,... read more beach chair set up service, beach toys, and boogie boards. We really appreciated the laundry service since we went through a lot of clothing. All of the staff were wonderful, especially Juan Pablo the concierge. We loved seeing the monkeys and hearing/seeing the other wildlife around the area. I actually loved the fact that there was not a television, and we did not miss it at all. Thank you for one of the best trips ever!
