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.

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.
