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 The villas are a bit outdated and could be more comfortable but were...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

  This was the first time to Costa Rica for our family of 4! Our week at EOC with a group of 14 friends was everything we dreamed of! The... read more owners and staff were very accommodating. Concierge, security, groundskeepers and housekeeping were all A+. They made us feel comfortable, safe, and pampered. They seemed to anticipate our every need including setting the beach up with chairs and umbrellas, taking the time to talk to our kids about wildlife and ordering food for us after a late arrival on a Costa Rican holiday. Five star service at a property with just 4 villas was unexpected and greatly appreciated.

The clean, empty crescent shaped beach is 1 minute from your door. With the rain forest directly behind you, EOC is the ideal location. You must go to the national park (short walk to the main gate) but you will see just as many monkeys, insects, reptiles and birds from the comfort of the hammock on your patio!

Travelling with a larger group can be tricky, but with each family having their own villa and a great gathering space in the middle, it truly was the best of both worlds. I can't imagine a better experience! Hope to visit you again someday, 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!
