Anders was the perfect host. He was always available for advice and if we just wanted general information . The tours are all very professional and lots of information. The SPA was perfectly set with a zen like garden and the masseuse were very professional and the whole experience was so good I did it twice for 2 hours Would highly recommend this venue Best wishes Mike

Communication was excellent and staff very helpful. Loved seeing the Monkey troop come and play outside our door. Beds were hard but comfortable. Driveway was extremely steep. Would stay there again!

The entrance to the community can be a little tricky at first during peak traffic times (use the side street road when coming from/to Quepos, and the big fountain entrance when coming from/to Manuel Antonio), but we didn't have any issues getting in or out, and the guards were super friendly every time we pulled up. The villa is located up a really steep driveway with a sharp turn - fortunately we had a 4x4 so driving on the wet pavement was much easier (highly recommend this for traveling in Costa Rica anyways!). Parking was easy, even on an incline. The villa is huge inside! We had an upper unit, with a huge living/kitchen area, and the bedrooms were spacious enough, each with their own AC units. Every room also had a ceiling fan. We like to cook during our trip, and the kitchen was well equipped. Only thing we needed to get resolved was sharpening the kitchen knife - which they did the next morning, but apparently other travelers don't cook as much as us so no one else noticed? One thing that would be nice is some food storage containers for leftovers, but we made do. The fridge is modern and big enough for a temporary stay. The shower has a nice waterfall faucet - feels like the summer rain storms. The bedroom was actually really quiet - we didn't hear neighbors or dogs or animals at night. We only watched TV once, and the WiFi suited our needs for uploading IG photos and occasionally checking email. While we never really met the host in person, we were well looked after with communication before our trip (plenty of helpful information) and during in regard to local hiking spots (check out the El Salto cascade - a hilly walk, or drive to the dirt road if you don't want the exercise - we walked and learned). The pool was very refreshing after a day of adventuring, but we never did get over to the spa. Our six nights here were great and we definitely recommend this property!

I would highly recommend the apartments at Manuel Antonio Estates: clean, affordable, well-equipped, and within easy walking distance to the center of Quepos and a very cheap 15 minute bus ride to Manuel Antonio Park. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The pool is delightful and is visited daily by crowds of titi monkeys and capuchin monkeys. Like many places in Manuel Antonio, there is a climb up a hill to the apartments but it is well worth it. We enjoyed our two week stay here immensely.

My only concern was the steep hill/road up to the property though it was a good workout.

I can't say enough nice things about Manuel Antonio Estates. We were lucky to find this on VRBO. The managers were so very helpful in arranging or suggesting tours, transportation, restaurants, etc. All arranged transportation came right on time. The location was great for us as we really enjoyed being close enough to walk to restaurants and shops in town. Also, how fun is it to be able to sit on a porch in an afternoon and watch monkeys hang out in trees? Not to mention the toucans and even saw an agouti and its' baby walk by. If something needed to be fixed, it was taken care of right away. The staff was so very friendly too. Took advantage of the pool in the afternoon, very refreshing after a hot day of activity. Thank you Dorit and Richard, and please say Hola to Lola! Susan and Hal

Very comfortable, spacious, well equipped unit. Whole region (including this property) is full of very steep inclines. Saw numerous iguanas and monkeys on the property!

We absolutely loved all the wildlife. Monkeys, macaws, iguanas, and toucans almost all daily!

The property was amazing, very convenient location to Manuel Antonio and surrounding areas. We had a rental car but walked to downtown Quepos every day. Loved this property and plan to stay again!

Short walk to bus stop and mini mart. Made use of the farmers market.Enjoyed the animal visits.Didn't need a car with bus schedule and taxis.

The apartment was very spacious and the pool a must have that time a year as it was very hot in Quepos. I wish I had picked a place with two bathrooms as it wasn't very convenient to have to wait for all of us (4) to shower before heading out to the many activities Quepos has to offer. The squirrel monkeys who come by everyday were so fun to watch! Angie was very helpful with restaurants recommendations and having a local phone in the apartment was very convenient. A drying rack would be a great addition. Overall, a great stay.

You can walk into Quepos or they will arrange a free ride to the Marina in the evening for you. It is a short way to the bus stop for Manuel Antonio. Everyone was pleasant and helpful. Communication ahead of time with Dorit was good. The kitchen was well equipped. Everything, except a hair dryer, was available. The bed was comfortable. Be aware that there is a very steep driveway to walk up and then a good number of steps. My shower was not good. With the glass doors shut, it leaked, a lot, on the floor. Also, the water ran hot, then cold, hot, then cold. Out of three taps only one worked. A little stick that had been inserted somewhere under a door fell out, then the doors wouldn't slide. I could have been trapped in there but managed to squeeze out a small space.

The staff was great. Extremely helpful. Was fun to have while face and squirrel monkeys on the balcony. The iguanas life applies. Soda Sanchez great place for lunch. Bus transportation inexpensive.

The place was beautiful, close enough to do anything but just far enough away from all the touristy areas. We enjoyed a peaceful fun packed vacation. Dorit was very accommodating and answered any questions we had. We would definitely go back again. Thank you

I have stayed here many times over the years and I am never disappointed.The staff is great and very helpful.The location is awesome.The rooms are clean and spacious.The pool is great.Best of all the daily monkey visits.I truly love this place.Its my family's happy spot in the world.

This little gem is tucked away in the lush tropical gardens super close to the park. Although I loved visiting Manuel Antonio park, my favorite part of this vacation was staying at this gorgeous property. The apartment was stocked with many things that we needed for our stay, the air conditioning super cold, and the place was so clean. The pool was absolutely amazing, refreshing and set in the most perfect paradise setting, we couldn't have asked for more. We will be back for sure. Thanks for everything!

Excellent location. The property was great. Dorit was super kind, an exceptional host accomadating everyone. We will return. Highly recommend!

My husband and I went back for a second stay at this location. A short walk to the bus stop, gated security, great monkey watching spot and all the amenities of home inside the condo. Will be back!

We loved staying at MAE. It is clean and comfortable with a wonderful balcony overlooking the pool and the surrounding area. At night you can hear the frogs and during the day you are entertained by the monkeys scrambling across the roof. The location is perfect - less than a 10 min. walk to town and a short bus ride to the national park. Dorit was extremely helpful with everything from advice about things to do to where to get my cell phone fixed. If we return to this area, we will definitely stay here again!

Appartment is nice, comfortable. close to the town without the noise. At a walking distance of everything and you can take the bus or car to go to Manual Antonio.

We had a absolut fantastic time in MAE. Everything was perfect for me and my family. The apartment was very good equiped, the pool in front of the apartments really clean and if we had a question or a wish, we get every support from the office! Dorit, thank you so much!!!!!

This was our second time back at MA Estates in an Eco Condo. Like the last time, this time was great! Dorit was very accommodating with our arrival time and when we got to the security gate, everything was ready for us. The A/C in the bedroom was awesome and the freezer was perfect for freezing the fish we caught. The only addition that would have been nice to have was a sharp filet knife. We saw monkeys, geckos, hummingbirds, iguanas, and even a pair of toucans from our balcony. The pool is a great spot to relax and if you need anything at all the folks at the MA office will point you in the right direction. I know we will be back - this is the perfect base location to explore Quepos and Manuel Antonio!

We had a great time staying at Manuel Antonio Estates! The condos are clean, we'll equipped and the grounds are wonderful! All of the staff are very friendly and helpful and the location is ideal being walking distance to quepos and all it has to offer as well as being only a 7 minute drive from Manuel Antonio beaches and national park. During our stay we were fortunate to see alot of wildlife right at out doorstep. Monkeys, lizards and many species of birds. I would definitely stay here again!
