My husband and I stayed in Casa Sandra during December. The home was immaculate and convenient to restaurants, transportation, the beach, etc. The linens, household appliances and cookware provided were substantial, and the home had breathtaking views. The frequent sighting of monkees and tropical birds made the ambiance of this gorgeous home even more pleasurable. We would highly recommend a stay in this very comfortable home in beautiful Manuel Antonio! !Pura Vida! |

IN ONE WORD, MAGICAL!
Costa Rica, it's people, flora, fauna, governmental policies, and values of "peaceful co-existence" were imprerssive. Casa Sandra was the icing on the cake. Imagine.....this quality of life for everyone. Overall, this was a peak experience.

AMAZING HOUSE.
As we were driving down from San Jose I didn't know what to expect, but when I got there I was amazed! At last a place I don't have to share with my brother. Hot showers and a refreshing pool was nice after a couple of days surfing. It's a beautiful country and I'm glad I stayed in such an amazing house! I just wish I could have stayed longer than a week!

WE NEVER TIRED OF THE VIEWS.
We are sorry to be leaving as the week has gone to fast. The accommodations were excellent and very comfortable for the four of us. We never got tired of the beautiful views. We plan to be back to this beautiful country. We loved our days in the park with the monkeys, iguanas, and sloths....great hikes and spectacular beaches. Both the canopy tour and the horseback riding were great. We appreciated Alex's recommendations for each. A wonderful experience for our first trip to Costa Rica!

THIS IS THE LIFE!
This is the living. First time in Costa Rica, will not be the last. I am a monkey lover so to see all the monkeys right in front of the patio was heaven for me. Spending the days on the beach was great, easily accessible and inexpensive. We experienced the Canopy tour and the horseback ridigng tour. Both were great! While staying here we rented a car for 2 days and ventured out and explored 10 other beaches. That was great. Alex was wonderful in making sure our days went smoothly and setting things up for us. Maid did an excellent job of cleaning the house and has a beautiful personality. Made a few local friends which we will visit on our return. The house was very comfortable. Enjoyed watching the soccer (Futball). Costa Rica will definitely be a usual spot for us to visit and perhaps retire someday. We love this place. Thank you.

GARDEN OF EDEN.
It has been so much fun to come back here from a hot day at the beach and immerse ourselves in the plunge pool. What a wonderful idea!!! And by the way, just how does that water stay so cool? We have really enjoyed our stay her at "Casa Sandra" Unfortunately, we must return to the land of ice and snow tomorrow, just as we have settled into the rhythm of things here. This house is beautifully designed, with yes "iconic" columns and clever placement of windows and doors to maximize the views. All the modern amenities at our convenience. We feel very spoiled here! Costa Rica is like a Garden of Eden, rich with colors, sounds and wildlife. We saw so many beautiful birds and monkeys right here by the balcony. Perfect for the lazy "eco-tourist." We loved Manuel Antonio Park with its beautiful beaches. On a cold winter day I can close my eyes and imagine floating in warm turquoise waves. A-h-h-h. Thanks to your staff.

A GREAT TWO WEEKS.
A great two weeks! Lovely villa, plenty of room and maid service was excellent. Costa Rica, the people and flora/fauna all to be enjoyed. Bus service was good (only 130 colon) and taxis also.

NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE BEAUTY.
An absolutely splendid month. The house was fabulous and there are no words to describe the beauty of Costa Rica and Manuel Antonio in particular. Thank you for your hospitality. The vacation villas staff was great.

HAWAII REPLACEMENT.
Our week in Costa Rica has gone way to quickly!! We came primarily for the adventure Costa Rica offers. Yet, thanks to this beautiful home we also enjoyed many hours of relaxation and great sunset views. We enjoyed our guided tour of the park, the sunset cruise, our ATV adventure and best of all the canopy tour. We've visited Hawaii several times and now have a new tropical destination. We've discovered more reasons to come to Costa Rica rather than the over-crowded islands of Hawaii. Thanks to your staff for keeping the house looking nice and for helping us with all of our planning. We look forward to returning to Costa Rica and this beautiful home.

EXPECTATIONS EXCEEDED.
My partner and I came down to relax and do some serious fishing. We accomplished this and much more. The home was very comfortable and exceeded our expectations. One of the highlights of our trip is that we hired a chef to prepare gourmet meals for three evenings. After fishing all day!!! When we arrived all was excellent! From fresh tuna to lobster and shrimp. We dined on terrific fare. The chef speaks English to a high degree and is a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for the excellent accommodations in Manuel Antonio. We most certainly will return with our friends and family.

WONDERFUL MEMORIES.
I just want to thank you for allowing us to share in "Casa Sandra." My husband and I took this opportunity to leave the kids with Grandma and Grandpa and we headed for Manuel Antonio-sight unseen except for the Internet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the very comfortable accommodations. We took in many sunsets from the wonderful balconies, and loved the splash pool for a nice cool dip. Now we must go back to work in Minnesota (Brrrrrr!) these wonderful memories will definitely hold us over until the spring thaw and signs of life resume in our neck of the woods. Thanks again for letting us enjoy your wonderful place.
