Our family of 11 stayed here in July and had an awesome stay. Alex was very reachable and even helped us with an item left behind. The property is spacious with 4 stories (lots of different staircases). The kitchen had everything we needed, and we enjoyed the grill and outdoor kitchen as well. The views are wonderful and the "monkey highway" running through the backyard provided entertainment. Having our laundry done daily was a huge bonus. The entrance to the driveway is hard to see at night (helps to have someone get out of the car to guide) and a bit steep but totally doable. The location is close to town and the beautiful national park (suggest using a guide if you want to see animals). The pool and bar are fabulous.There is a small market and restaurant that is walkable but the narrow road gets very dark at night. There is a better market if you drive down the hill and take a left that has delicious marinated chicken that was super easy to throw on the grill. We were able to fit 3 midsize SUV's (Rav 4's) in the driveway. (Tip: if you rent cars from Expedia or 3rd party, Costa Rica does not accept their insurance, so wait and get the insurance at the counter). Also, if you are visiting in the rainy season, it rains pretty much every afternoon around 4:00ish. Driving from the San Jose airport in the dark and rain is a slow drive, so try to do your driving here and to Arenal in the daylight. Otherwise the roads are very good and we used Waze,apple/google maps.

Beautiful property surrounded by rainforest. Plenty of room for our family group of 13. Everyone enjoyed relaxing in the large pool. It has a very shallow end with steps that was perfect for the toddlers. One day a group of squirrel monkeys joined us at the pool! Alex was a very helpful and accommodating host. He arranged all of our tours, dining and transportation and was easy to communicate with using WhatsApp. Highly recommend!

House and location perfect to enjoy peace and quiet but still be close to Manuel Antonio and Quepos and all that they offer. Alexander took very good care of us. Would highly recommend.

From the moment I reserved Villa Grande to the moment we checked out, Alexander was a perfect host. He answered all of my questions quickly, helped me arrange for airport transportation and also a wonderful guided tour of Manual Antonio National Park. It was also quite a luxury to have staff available to do laundry! The house was perfect for 5 couples. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. The pool was spectacular (especially after some hot days) - and we loved the swim-up bar 😊. I highly recommend this house and Alexander as a host. THANK YOU, ALEXANDER!!
