We really enjoyed our stay! The views of the Pacific Ocean were breathtaking and better than the pictures. The villa is conveniently situated less than a 10 min drive from Manuel Antonio park but you’ll be able to see ample wildlife from the property. We saw a sloth up close and in detail from the windows of one of the rooms facing the jungle and saw monkeys, toucans and parrots. Ricky, Valerie and the Chef and his staff were all very welcoming and hospitable!

We had an incredible stay at the villa. All of our questions were answered ahead of time by Valerie, who was great at quick and helpful communication. The manager Ricky was super friendly and helped us with booking tours and beach days. The chef Jorge was AMAZING!! Fresh local food, incredible menus, and even had his aunt make us a special tres leches cake! Kim took such good care of us throughout our visit (and made a mean margarita!). Marjorie and her group kept the villa sparkling. We had daily visits from monkeys, lizards, macaws, and even a sloth! The pool was fantastic, the view as good as it gets, and the villa had everything we could want. It was a dream vacation and I wish I could go back right now!!

This was a spectacular house! We were so excited to see sloths and monkeys daily! Also saw Macaws and Toucans! Our chef Choko was a delight. He made us awesome meals and was so friendly and helpful with all of our questions. We can’t wait to be back in July and have already requested our chef!! We would highly recommend this house!!

The home is very well designed to take advantage of a spectacular view of the Manuel Antonio Park and ocean. It is nestled in the rain forest so we enjoyed a lot of wild life right there at the home. It is a beautiful place.

Initial setup with Valerie and Fernando was effortless. We set up Room designations, Chef Services, 2 meals a day, Snacks, Beverages, Excursions, Transportation and all went off as planned. Valerie went the extra step and made room masterpieces with local goodies for each of the rooms. A basket of local oils, spices, hot sauces, and snacks. We were met by Ricky (house manager) as we arrived late night and then revisited the net day after we were settled. It was nice to know that my guests had a go to guy for anything. Ricky answered and resolved all of our phone calls. Having a Ricky in a foreign environment taking care of you was a sense of security. Marjorie, our house Lady, was suite and ran a tight ship with all the house helpers. house was in tip top shape each morning. She was so willing to take time and address anything we needed. Chef Junior and his kitchen accomplice David were fantastic. Food flavors, portions, variety was spot on. Great Steaks, unbelievable fish, the extra mile on our Surf and turf Lobster night was awesome. The daily fresh fruit was great to eat fresh or fused into Janet's top notch Pina Colada's. Yes, unexpected was the introduction of our Cocktail extraordinaire Janet. An unexpected surprise to our arrangements. Let's take to the next level and we had a request book that we could order anything for the group ( ordered special beverages, ordered bandages, ordered lip medicine, ordered popcorn) it was delivered to us within hours. The air conditioned rooms were awesome to take a siesta and sleep at night. The house and its views are spectacular. A comfortable setting for cocktails, lounging, dining, playing cards, watching a movie or tanning in the pool. We had 3 types of monkeys visit us every day. Woke up 4 out of 7 morning by monkeys playing on the roof. Our friends were woken up all 7 days by a pair of Toucans. Your spending a week living at the zoo. Team Casa Fantastica, thank you for a 2019 vacation to be remembered. Ricky, we closed all the doors and turned the pool light off. Till next time!

Breath taking and magical from the moment our van backed down a steep narrow road towards the entry gate, till we had to depart 7 days later. The jungle critters visit the Villa daily on their journey through the jungle. You will see more wild life daily at the villa than in the park. The awed look on every ones faces as they stood a few steps away from a hanging sloth was priceless. The experiences the Casa Fantastica crew created for our wedding party made the Villa our treasured home. Chef Jr. and David's breakfast and dinners rivaled meals many of us have experienced at fine restaurants. Janet our bartender accommodated the various thirst needs at our daily cocktail hour. Marjorie and her cleaning crew became our friends and left the villa immaculate each day. Rickey, the Villa host and manager was a incredible resource for our diverse party of eighteen plus. He also proved invaluable, continued support for a guest of ours that needed medical treatment in San Jose. Finally, our party came to experience a fabulous destination wedding. Our wedding planner, Marianne and her team exceeded our expectations and created what numerous guests described as the best wedding and reception they have ever experienced. So, honestly, from the moment we arrived till the end of our stay, our experiences at Casa Fantastica simply took our breath away and often left us with tears of joy and laughter. Thanks to all who made it the best wedding and vacation ever!! The Borgen/Test Wedding

I've started to write my review and haven't had enough time, because to describe this amazing house just takes to much time. We had 16 people our adult children and there friends. Everyday was an adventure. To start with every room & bathroom was so unique . Every morning we would be greeted by the monkeys which was its own entertainment. The chef was awesome . Anything you would need all you have to do is ask. We went on a few side trips but in the end everyone wanted their last day at the pool and being at the house. This is an incredible way to spend quality time with family....

We were a group of 10 persons and that is the name we put on this house "Sick House" being for us an incredible weekend. The house have all it takes to have a great vacation. A lot of entertainment. The host treat us great. The chef made us lots of great meals. I would recommend this house 1000%.
