I traveled with my brother, his wife, and their 2 adult sons, one of whom has Down Syndrome. We had a great time on the beaches, walking through jungle-y areas, zip lining, and eating out every night. But the star of the trip was this house. The layout was perfect for us with air conditioned bedrooms with their own baths and balconies and very comfy beds. The kitchen is well stocked and had good ground coffee in the cupboard. There’s a nice grocery store in town. The housekeeper Laura kept this house immaculate and washed our clothes 3x a week. She motivated us to learn Spanish. As everyone mentions, the drive up to this house is steep and rocky and requires 4wheel drive. We got lost but the concierge Michael met us at the Riverside resort and led us up the drive. The drive from the airport was painful and took forever so we were tired and hungry when we got to the house. Michael took one look at my unhappy nephew and had pizza delivered! Up that crazy drive! The next day he arranged for a tour guide through MA Park. My nephew hurt his ankle first day and Michael told us where to go to get it Xrayed on a Sunday. They got him in right away and he received terrific care…just a sprain. Restaurants in town are good. We liked Falafel Bar, Agua Azul, Cafe Milagro, Emilio’s. For lunch Buena Vista and Rico Tico. Skip El Avion…It‘s the Spaghetti Factor of CR. Do go to Mirador for an extra special dinner.

The house was the most beautiful view and amazing sunsets. We enjoyed watching monkeys and birds right from the balcony. Loved the separation the house provided with the rooms away from each other.

This place is really amazing. The location is great - amazing views. Incredibly clean and neat. Can't say enough good things about the concierge, Michael, who was available at a moment's notice for everything from booking activities, getting groceries ordered and delivered, restaurant suggestions, and even helping us book a private chef to come cook for use (Gabriel was amazing and I highly recommend him and his food).
We had several animals come visit us during our 3-day stay including some white-faced monkeys, some toucans, macaws, and lots of iguanas, geckos and lizards.
Kitchen is well-equipped and even has a 5 gallon bottled water dispensing machine with both cold and hot water.
One thing worth pointing out that is not obvious from the listing is that only the three bedrooms and the kitchen / living room area are air-conditioned. The dining area / sitting area near the pool is open-air. This was not a problem, but was just interesting and the fan in that outdoor area doesn't work great, so in hotter weather it might be uncomfortable.
You'll probably read reviews talking about the steep climb up and it's no joke - the first time you climb up to the house you might be a little unnerved, but Michael will guide you up and once you do it once, you will have no problem doing it again and again. The path is well-designed to ensure safety so you don't have to worry about falling off the path or anything like that. It's just steep and bumpy at times and definitely requires a 4x4. Tour busses that might come pick you up for an activity cannot make their way all the way up so you'll have to meet them at the main reception area down by some of the other properties that are in this community.
We had a great time, thank you to Michael for all his help, Laura for doing an amazing job with keeping the place nice and clean (and even doing laundry for us!), and Gabriel for the amazing meal he cooked for us. We would certainly book here again.

Outstanding Place
My family of 4 loved our time here. The driveway was a little scary the first time, but we got used to it. Jon was a great concierge and set up multiple day trips for us. We will come back!

Amazing Hill Top House, with stunning views
This house is amazing, with panoramic views perched at the top of a v. steep private driveway. We spent 6 nights here and it was great location for Manual Antonio - its sits halfway way between MA National Park and Quepos. You will need a 4 x 4 to get up the driveway, as it is very steep but it's worth it! House is very well appointed with high end fittings and furniture with high speed internet. There were a couple of small issues that needed maintaining when we there (shower head, TV), but overall our conciere was v. responsive and only too willing to helo.

Pura Vida!!!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay at Shangri-la. The house was the perfect size for my family of four (we had an extra room). It was just as clean as it was beautiful. The view is second to none. As if that wasn’t enough, our stay was taken to another level by Michael the concierge. He took care of EVERYTHING for us. Booked all our excursions, grocery shopped and made amazing dinner reservations. Also, having Juan cook meals at the house was perfection. Thanks to everyone involved for an absolutely amazing family vacation!!!

Nothing short of spectacular
Unreal. The location was amazing. Great pool with daily visits by toucans Makaws and all three species of Monkies. Amazing staff. Great beds. Third time for me to Manuel Antonio so I was concerned this time wouldn’t live up to the last but this house has it all. You will feel better in a 4 wheel drive vehicle the “driveway” to the house is a bit intense at first. That view comes with a bit of work.

Perfect house for a couples getaway with INCREDIBLE views!!
We rented Shangri-La for a couples getaway with some friends last week and had the best time. The house was incredible and exceeded our expectations! Communication with the property manager and concierge (Michael) was great, and Michael was able to answer any questions and help us plan our trip and alleviate any concerns we had traveling internationally from the US. Michael met us at the house when we arrived to show us around and get us acquainted with the home. He also helped us set up in home couples massages with a local spa (AMAZING) and arranged for a local chef to come cook at the house one night. The food the chef cooked was amazing and it was nice to enjoy dinner in the open air dining space while watching an incredible sunset.
The house had a great set up with a large kitchen and living space surrounded by wall to wall windows so you can enjoy the amazing views. The kitchen was well equipped with anything we needed to cook. The outdoor living space was perfect for enjoying meals outside and hanging out by the pool. Views from the pool and outdoor area could not have been any better! In the mornings, we saw monkeys in the trees near the house, and the scarlet macaws flew by each morning and evening. It was so cool!! There is a room off of the pool with 2 queen beds, and a master bedroom down the hall with a king. There was also an additional king bedroom downstairs. Someone came to clean and give us fresh towels a few times during the week, and she even did out laundry!! This was a nice surprise to find our clothes clean and folded when we came home.
The home was decorated nicely, the beds were comfortable, everything was kept clean and tidy, and we were checked on a few times by Michael and Laura, the lady that cleaned. Walter came to clean the pool for us too. Overall, we could not recommend this home any more, and we can't wait to come back!!! You absolutely have to have 4 wheel drive to get up the mountain and driveway, but we had no trouble finding a local cab driver who was able to drive us around any time we needed to go somewhere. The house is located just a few minutes from downtown Manuel Antonio and Quepos, so it was very convenient to go to dinner and visit the park. The steep drive up to the house is totally worth the incredible views! Being situated on the top of the mountain also comes with privacy. We felt very safe in the location, and there are several homes along the drive below Shangri-La.
