Great location, amazing view, maybe not so perfect for one family
My family of five stayed in this house in Mid-July for five nights. As the pictures show, it is an ENORMOUS house, and way too large for our family, but we liked the location and wanted a pool! In splurging for this house, we expected it to feel a bit cavernous -- it's way more suited for large groups, or perhaps three or four families -- what we hadn't really expected was how separated we'd feel from our teenagers upstairs.
We ended up using three levels (main with kitchen and pool, 2nd level with two bedrooms, and the penthouse). Each bedroom has two king-sized beds and our three kids (15, 14, and 10) immediately wanted to each take a room. My wife and I took the main level bedroom and let the kids use use the 2nd and penthouse rooms which was fine until we realized how difficult it was to communicate with them all.
The rooms are more like little apartments than just bedrooms, especially one on the 2nd level and the penthouse which each has its own separate entry from the street and can really be closed off completely from the other rooms.
The house is in an ideal location for exploring Manuel Antonio and within walking distance of three or four restaurants, bank and small grocery.
The house comes with a concierge service, which is AMAZING! Our concierge, Nuria, helped us set up a Mangrove Tour (highly recommended if you want monkeys on your head!), Manuel Antonio tour guide, surfing lessons (kids loved this!), in-house Chef Service (yum!), wine delivery, and in-house massage service. We felt very taken care of.
Over-all, while it feels more like an urban concrete and steel apartment building, the house is very suitable for a large group (10-16) who wants to be super-social in the common areas and take advantage of the amazing concierge service. Everyone they recommended was TOP NOTCH and we enjoyed our stay.
