Das Baumhaus hat unsere Erwartungen in jeglicher Sicht erfüllt. Alles ist wie beschrieben und ein einmaliges Erlebnis gewesen. Die Natur und ihre Geräusche sind etwas Besonderes und wir hatten die Möglichkeit viele Tiere ganz in Ruhe zu beobachten, z.B. Faultiere u. Affen. Dies ist genau der richtige Ort wenn man ein paar Tage abschalten möchte. Die gesamte Unterkunft war sehr sauber und die Küche mit allem Notwendigen ausgestattet, so dass wir öfters gekocht haben. Wir können das Haus nur Jedem empfehlen. Thomas, vielen Dank für alles. Wir haben uns bei dir, während unserer Reise durch CR am wohlsten gefühlt.FranziskaNovember 2014
Das Treehouse war ganz wunderbar! Direkt in der Natur, mit Affen als regelmäßigen Gästen, sogar ein Faultier gab es... Total erholsam und einfach schön. Dann am Pool aus der Hitze des Tages abtauchen... Toll. Thomas hat uns auch super unterstuetzt, uns beim Bus eingesammelt, Touren gebucht, Taxi bestellt... Fazit: Rundum zu empfehlen!ElkeJanuary 2016
Unser letztes Ziel in Costa Rica war das Baumhaus von Thomas. Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt dort. Ein Erlebnis was wir nicht vergessen werden. Wir hatten alles zur Verfügung was wir brauchten. Der Pool war traumhaft . Thomas war immer erreichbar und hilfsbereit. Die Tiere aus dem Dschungel so nah zu erleben war Abenteuer.TanitaFebruary 2016
Thomas ist wirklich wahnsinnig nett und offen! Wir wurden dank hervorragendem E-Mail-Kontakt von ihm in Quepos abgeholt. Er hat uns sogar noch in den Supermarkt begleitet und geduldig auf uns gewartet. Wirklich ein toller Gastgeber. Auch eine Whalewatching Tour wurde für uns gebucht. In der Unterkunft angekommen haben wir wirklich Gänsehaut bekommen: es ist noch schöner als auf den Fotos (was eigentlich kaum möglich ist). Hammer. Es gibt nichts zu bemängeln, es ist einfach traumhaft. Auch das WLAN und warmes Wasser funktionieren 1A - genauso wie alles andere. Die Terrasse ist der Hammer. Auch Affen konnten wir hautnah und live vom Bett aus beobachten. Man ist wirklich mitten im Urwald! Der Pool ist genauso super. Wir waren wirklich von allem dort hell auf begeistert. Wir wären gerne noch länger geblieben und wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen! Vielen Dann für den tollen Aufenthalt!Gigi September 2016
Das Baumhaus von Thomas bleibt uns sicherlich ein Leben lang in Erinnerung. Als absolut einmaliges Naturerlebnis. Hunderte Touristen zahlen täglich viel Geld um im zehn Minuten entfernten Manuel Antonio Nationalpark Tiere in ihrer freien Wildbahn zu erleben- genau das hatten wir täglich im Baumhaus. Brüllaffen weckten uns morgens und tagsüber sprangen mehrere Weißkopfaffen über unsere Terrasse und beobachteten uns beim Mittagessen. Zur Krönung hing eine Faultiermama mit Baby im Baum direkt neben unserer Terrasse und blieb einen ganzen Tag! Wir können dieses Baumhaus wirklich nur empfehlen- Thomas ist richtig nett, das Haus mit allem ausgestattet, Handtücher, Wlan, Küche etc. Wir kommen gerne wieder, danke!MareikeNovember 2014
WOW! Mehr ist dazu nicht zu sagen. Das Baumhaus ist unser Highlight auf unserer Reise gewesen. Schon am ersten Morgen sind wir gegen 5 Uhr von einer Horde Kapuzineraffen geweckt und nur wenig später kamen circa 20 Totenkopfäffchen und spielten auf unsrem Balkon. So toll!!! Die volle Vielfalt in seiner natürlichen Umgebung. Nebenbei ist das Baumhaus komplett ausgestattet! Es gab nichts, was wir vermisst haben und es gab sogar eine Waschmaschine! Der Pool erfrischt zwischendurch. Grundlegend ist das Baumhaus schwer zu finden, aber Thomas tut alles, dafür dass man ankommt. Ein höher gelegendes Auto ist jedoch hilfreich...aber das würde ich eh jedem Costa Rica Besucher empfehlen. Thomas gab viele Auskünfte. Viele Touren wären möglich gewesen. Quepos ist relativ klein und auch der Michael Antonio Nationalpark hat uns nicht überzeugt. Den Regenwald und seine Tiere hatten wir auch vor der Baumhaustür und das ohne andere Touristen!MariaMay 2015
Ohne Worte... Unbeschreibbar! Eine außergewöhnliche Unterkunft, die ein einmaliges Naturerlebnis garantiert. Wir würden jederzeit zurückkommen!PeterApril 2016
Wow! Als Thomas die Tür zum Baumhaus öffnete, waren wir kurz sprachlos. Sehr schöne Aussicht auf das Blätterdach des Waldes, die Ausstattung und Einrichtung einfach, aber konsequent und geschmackvoll mit Allem, was man braucht. Wir hatten hier sehr schöne Tage mit vielen Tierbeobachtungen und ein bisschen "Affentheater". Thomas ist ein sehr guter und sympathischer Gastgeber. Seine Tips für Aktivitäten in der Umgebung hilfreich und lohnenswert. Vielen Dank! Wenn mal wieder in der Nähe, kommen wir auf jeden Fall wieder.danielaApril 2016

Für mich war es perfekt: Tolle Lage am Eingang zum Nationalpark, Grundstück ist nachts nochmal extra verschlossen, so dass man sich sicher fühlt, durchgehend Moskitonetze vor den Fenstern, Kühlschrank mit Eisfach, Fernseher, Ventilator, Kaffeemaschine, ein bisschen Geschirr und Möglichkeiten, Wäsche zu waschen und aufzuhängen!SabineMarch 2017
Sehr schönes und großes Zimmer mit 2 Doppelbetten. Direkt am Eingang zum Nationalpark Manuel Antonio, was bedeutet, dass tagsüber viel los ist und es abends sehr ruhig ist.JohannJanuary 2017
Great place! We really loved the location, as close to the entrance to the park as possible! Amazing sounds of wild life, plenty of room, within 5 min walk to the beach. We wish we stayed longer. The host was very helpful and kind. Thanks for letting us stay!ChristopherAugust 2016
Jossy was very helpful with checking in and getting direction! Overall great experience!MeganAugust 2016
Great location for the beach and literally around the corner from park entrance. That's about it. Balcony has view of a wall in front of it. No towels, no toilet paper, fan barely worked. Not recommend for couples or families.Khurrum September 2016
There were flower blossoms on the artfully arranged towels. She was there to greet us.SallyNovember 2016
Great location, only a couple of minutes from the Manuel Antonio entrance and 5 minutes walk to restaurants, super and the beach. The place is as described. Very clean, with nice touches when you get in. Jossy has excellent communication and speaks Spanish and English. The Directions page is spot on. The neighborhood is in a quiet spot, not in the middle of businesses, and is gated. Excellent deal if you want to visit Manuel Antonio.TrinityNovember 2016

Geylor and his family are absolutely amazing. He arranged to have u picked up and taken to his house, and when we didn't arrive on time he arranged to come back and get us a second time. Even though he doesn't speak much English, he used a translator and one of his employees to introduce himself and his family. He did everything within his power to make our stay wonderful. His place is brand new and worth the price for sure. I would honestly live there short term if I planned to be in Costa Rica for some time. It is modern and updated. We stayed on two different occasions and both times we received new linen and bedding. It was so comfortable. He also has a wonderful pool.DanyalDecember 2016
This is a little oasis in the city of Quepos! We really enjoyed our stay, especially having the pool to ourselves in the evening and the AC. Geylor y su familia son personas muy amables y la casa es realimente tranquila. Los deseo lo mejor :)Tim & IylaMarch 2017
I had a really nice time at Geylors. It was very clean, easy and accommodating. The washer and dryer aren't for you at your disposal though. However, they will charge you per weight. I loved their swimming pool and was very relaxing. I highly recommend his place for the comfort and relaxing time I had there. It was much needed. Thank you!JodeyFebruary 2017
This place is like a beautiful little private pool house. We had the entire well equipped kitchen, washroom, bedroom and living room to ourselves. The family shared pool was left for us to use privately during the evenings. They definitely respected our space. It was really clean and modern. We had a private gated parking spot so we didn't have to worry about the car. The drive to Manual Antonio provincial park was only 10mins drive away. Geylor was was very responsive and easy to communicate with. His family was really kind.Hong (Laura)February 2017
Excelente lugar muy limpio la atención magnifica completo con lo que se necesita para la estancia.AndresJanuary 2017
Casa Árbol is a fantastic little newly built house in the back of the family's main house next to the beautiful pool. The tree in the middle of the house surrounded by glass walls makes a very pleasant design of the house! The rooms (bedroom, small living room/kitchenette and bathroom) were very clean and fresh. Good AC in the bedroom. Geylor and his wife were super hosts and he even came to meet me at a nearby bar when I was slightly confused of the location. It's not far from the bus stop which was perfect. Both easily (and cheap) to get to the national park as well as other nearby towns without a car! Thanks for a great stay! If I'm in Quepos again I won't hesitate to stay here again! 5 of 5 without doubt!PerFebruary 2017

Fer & Brooke's place is absolutely wonderful. I've stayed in a lot of Airbnbs throughout Costa Rica, and their place is by far the best. It is very well decorated and has everything you need--a kitchen with everything you need, two bedrooms (one is a loft), bathroom, jacuzzi!, back patio with table, and a grill! It's very quiet, you feel like you are in the jungle, but it is also a close drive to manuel antonio park (between 5 and 10 minutes). It's a great place for people wanting to hang out at home after a long day at the beach. Highly recommend it!KatieMarch 2017
My girlfriend and I spent two nights at Brooke and Fer's and our only regret is that we could not have planned our entire trip around our experience with them. We both agree that this has been the highlight of our vacation and we're blown away by the quiet and natural, yet close and accessibility of the house with respect to buses and markets. The hosts really made the experience next level, they were there to answer questions, provide insight on activities, make sure we didn't make any newcomer errors or overspend on any items or activities. They have created a traveller's manual which was informative and helpful and their general attitude was amiable and experienced, always able to help or offer a solution or a hand. Their passion and execution far exceeded our expectations and their experience in hospitality is evident. You are quite literally backed on to the jungle and we saw a family of monkeys, birds, reptiles and sloths hanging in the trees. Fer was enthusiastic and helped us keep an eye on the critters, which we appreciated immensely. I wish that I could say more about the experience, but the best way to understand the experience would be to stay and meet the awesome hosts. Clean, comfortable and our only regret is that we didn't have more time.CoreyApril 2017
Brooke and Fernando, having had experience in working at a hotel, definitely made our trip extremely inviting and were some of the best hosts we have ever had on airbnb. Their place was absolutely stunning and very updated since it had just been newly renovated. While it was extremely close to the town (restaurants and nightlife) it was also slightly set back from the main road and was relaxing, quiet, and peaceful. Their unit was open to the forest in the back where we had breakfast and relaxed on hammocks gazing at wildlife. We even saw a toucan in a tree in their front yard! Upon arrival, they were very organized and provided us an extremely informative booklet of their favorite things to do in the area which we referred to multiple times. Staying above their unit also made it extremely convenient to communicate with them when needed, yet also gave us the space and privacy we needed. They made us feel very welcome and very comfortable, and were incredibly accommodating with our plans. I would definitely stay here again if I ever visited Costa Rica. It added to our great experience in quepos.RaishaMarch 2017
Absolutely outstanding host. From the pick up, right through to the check out. The place is close to public transport which will take you to the beach for 300 colones. The place itself is comfortable and has an amazing balcony facing the jungle. We saw plenty of toucans and sloths tight outside our window. Can't recommend it enough!CezaryApril 2017

Das Zimmer ist sehr schön - genau wie beschrieben! Die Unterkunft ist ein separates Guesthouse, wobei der Yoga-Raum sowie der tolle Pool mitbenutzt werden können. David ist ein sehr unkomplizierter, offener und freundlicher Gastgeber, der seinen Besuchern mit Rat und Tat zur Seite steht. Quepos und Manuel Antonio sind in unmittelbarer Nähe, weshalb es an Essens- und Frühstücksmöglichkeiten nicht mangelt. Zum Nationalpark sind es nur wenige km und auch das Manuel Antonio Nature Reserve & Wildlife Refuge ist einen Besuch wert! Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen :)SvenMay 2016
Wir haben unsere Costa Rica Reise bei David begonnen und es war absolut super. Man wohnt mitten im Dschungel und kann vom Balkon aus die Affen in den Bäumen beobachten. Es ist nicht weit zum Strand und Manuel Antonio Nationalpark. Nach Cahuita kann man zu Fuß gehen. David ist ein Superhost mit sehr guten Tipps jeder Art. Auch der Pool ist super schön. Wir würden definitiv nochmals dort übernachten!FeeSeptember 2016
Das Zimmer war mitten im Grünen in einer privaten Wohnanlage gelegen. Der Pool war superschön. Leider hatten wir in der nacht echt Pech, da sich Nachbarn lautstark auf ihrer Terrasse stritten. Frühstück gab es leider auch nicht... ansonsten aber definitiv eine schöne Unterkunft.JürgenDecember 2016
David was an awesome host! He greeted us when we arrived and even gave us a ride to the beach. He was also very helpful giving us advice on places to go eat. The place is surrounded by many trees and there is truly a jungle touch to it. Very peaceful, however close to downtown Quepos (walking distance) which means we were not isolated and car dependent and you can actually walk to a near bus stop and catch the local bus that runs between Quepos and Manuel Antonio.EstebanAugust 2012
Manuel Antonio is an amazing place to stay. David was a very helpful and willing host. Gave us solid recommendations for day activities and listed great restaurants to eat at. The room is exactly what I imagined for the price, clean and perfect for a Costa Rica getaway. The community is gated and parking is safe which is a plus. Location is great, and I would recommend this place to my friends!ChelseaJanuary 2014
David is amazing! The villa is in a safe, gated community that happens to be situated on a hill that sucks to walk on (walked up it once, which was more than enough). David recommendations on places to eat and see were spot on and did almost every single one. The house is nice and the pool is refreshingly cool on those warm Quepos days. Great end to our trip to Costa Rica!Semhar December 2015
David is a really nice guy, very communicative and helpful with planning our tours :) also he gave us great advice for restaurants and bars. He really knows the area since he runs a Costa Rica magazine. The accommodation was like in the photos. It was quite humid in the room, but that's what happens if you stay in the jungle. Unfortunately there is no wifi in the room, only by the pool. The neighbourhood is beautiful and safe, since it's gated. If you're lucky you can also spot some animals in the trees around the accommodation :)PaulaJuly 2016
David was a very helpful host, he answered all our questions and helped us understand the area upon arrival. The Villa is in a fantastic location. Both in terms of the safe community it's in and it's proximity to Manuel Antonio and Quepos. The Villa has no air conditioning and Wi-Fi is spotty, but it did work. The pool is upstairs on David's balcony which was less private than we had hoped so we did not use it. Our room, especially the bathroom, could have benefitted from a good cleaning when we arrived, but all in all the villa was a good choice for the price.ScottJune 2015

Gerne kann ich dieses kleine, hübsche und saubere Appartament weiter empfehlen. Der Urwald grenzt an die Terrasse, es ist ruhig, sauber und alles was man so braucht ist vorhanden. Gleich vor der Haustür gibt es einen wunderschönen Spaziergang durch den Wald mit vielen Tieren zum Beobachten. Als Alleinreisende habe ich mich sicher gefühlt. Die Strasse ist ca. 100 Meter weiter unten und mit günstigen Taxis ist man in 5 Min in Quepos.RitaDecember 2016
Thierry ist ein sehr netter und unkomplizierter Gastgeber. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und nett eingerichtet. Auf dem kleinen Balkon sitzt man direkt im Busch und wir haben sogar Tucan und Faultier gesehen. Eine mögliche Wanderung ums Eck wurde zum richtigen Dschungeltrip ... auch ein Tip von Thierry. Immer gerne wieder.....HeikeJune 2015
Great place and a excellent host. The small apartment has everything you need. It is quite new and modern and the furniture and decoration fit to the jungle environment. Thierry is a great guy, always willing to help and with his detailed knowledge of Quepos and the area a treasure of information. Great value, highly recommended.TimFebruary 2011
Thierry is a very gracious and welcoming host. The place is clean, comfortable and well equipped and Thierry is helpful and forthcoming with information. He shared ideas on where to go (lovely walk through the forest close by) how to get around and even bought my bus ticket for me while he was in town. No hesitation in recommending Nature Lovers!SaraFebruary 2012
Thierry was great and super nice!!! He picked us from the bus station at the evening of arrival, gave us some fruits and orange juice, next morning showed us around Quepos and neighborhood, provide us with useful information and in the end drop us off at the bus. But not only this, on the way to the bus we found out that I forgot my bag at the apartment and Thierry took me back to get it and saved us a lot of headache. The apartment itself is the perfect place to experience the jungle and to watch wildlife from the porch.MilaJanuary 2016
A 5 minutes de la ville mais directement dans la jungle avec les singes a 2 mètres de notre balcon. Parfait pour ceux qui aiment le calme et la nature. Thierry est le meilleur hôte. Il a offert d aller nous chercher et nous porter a la gare d autobus, même au petites heures du matin. Il nous a fait faire un tour très complet des lieux a notre arrivé et est toujours disponible lorsque nous avons des questions. Il nous a fait découvrir des endroits que nous n aurions pas connu en tant que touriste. Ce fut un séjour très agréable que nous avons voulu prolonger. L appartement est très bien équipé, propre et très fonctionnel. Tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour passer un excellent séjour. Je recommande cet endroit sans hésiter.Marie LouSeptember 2015
Notre séjour chez Thierry était super! Dès notre arrivés Thierry nous a fait faire un tour de Quepos, s'orienter par la suite était vraiment facile. Il nous à même accueilli avec jus, biscuits et fruits! La propriété était très propre, bien équipé et nous donne l'occasion d'apercevoir des animaux à partir de notre balcon ! Si vous passez par Quepos on vous recommande de rester chez Thierry!AnthonyAugust 2016
Thierry and his wife are the nicest people you will ever meet and the most amazing hosts!! The apartment is very nice with absolutely everything you will need throughout your stay, it's in a great area, with safe buses an taxis costing under a dollar to get in to quepos, still you could walk as it's only about 5 mins drive. Manual antonio is again very easily accessible for little cost. Great beaches there!! The appartment is in the jungle so no need for expensive tours you can see every animal and bird there!! I cannot stress how amazing our stay was and so worth the little cost!! You are missing out if you don't stay here! Again Thierry will go out of his way to help you with information on anything! The place is very safe an beautiful, we were truely sad to leave, and will most defiantly be going back:)SamanthaAugust 2011

Pamela and Jorge made our stay unforgettable, they were so kind and caring , we cannot thank them enough . Our son was sick on the first day and Pamela took us to the clinic where she was sure our insurance would work, and it was the best doctor , and insurance covered everything (otherwise IV, etc may have been a fortune ). And she stayed with us there until he was better (!!!) not to mention all the advice about what to do in the area, we would not have discovered the "hidden" hot springs which was our favourite spot, and Jorge showed us his favourite fishing spot (!) And Pamela fed us special Christmas and new year dishes (!) Thank you so much, Pamela and Jorge, we really felt at home and we will miss you very much . (Pamela, thank you for the Spanish practice ! I will be toootally fluent next time:)MariaJanuary 2017
Excelente estadía. Pasamos muy bien. Gracias x recibirnos y hacernos sentir como en casa. Esperemos vernos prontosAdriana January 2017
Place is a described. Jorge and Pamela are super helpful, though Pamela was the only one home during my stay. Her and her family were very helpful and showed be around a bit while I was there. That place is spacious and clean. It's a bit if a walk into Quepos but doable, I did it almost every day, either thrift the back road or main road, main road is quicker though it has more traffic. They do have dogs in the property so be aware of that, they are friendly and Pamela made sure to call them in when I got home. There are some roosters next door so earplugs are helpful, the people that own them are suppose to be moving soon. All in all I enjoyed my experience with them. You can catch a "colectivo" to and from town for 500 colones, a cab will cost you about twice as much.CesarMay 2016

Hazel was very accommodating to our travel schedule and everything went very smoothly. The property is very beautiful and is in the perfect location to get to the surrounding towns and attractions.SeanJuly 2015
Hazel lives in the condo complex and met us as soon as she could. She had other neighbors meet us to let us in when we arrived. She was very helpful with figuring out the local buses, recommending some delicious restaurants, and booking some tours for us (Go to Manuel Antonio with her friend Henry!!!!). The pictures we saw when we booked were inaccurate because they have added a kitchenette area with a hot plate, mini fridge, sink, etc., which allowed us to buy some farmers market food for breakfast and a dinner, saving some money along the way. The pool area is great for spotting wildlife! We saw a sloth, howler monkeys, titi monkeys, and two toucans within the 4 nights that we were there.MattAugust 2015
This place is really great, with a nice pool surrounded by nature, beautiful flowers, plants and sometimes monkeys! Hazel was super helpful and gave us a lot of details for our transportation and the surroundings. She also offered to gave us a lift at our arrival in Quepos to the Casa Chaman. It was appreciated after a long day of traveling! It is well located, between Quepos and Manuel Antonio on a quiet street (not the main road) and just a corner from a bus stop. The small kitchen and the room was full equipped (even with umbrellas in case of rain!). We really recommend it!VanessaOctober 2015
Our stay at the Jungle Villa was delightful. The surroundings are lovely and having a small kitchen area was great. Buses to Quepos and Manuel Antonio, just a few minutes away in either direction, ran every 20 minutes nearby. Hazel was friendly and helpful. Her familiarity with each community and with people offering various services and opportunities helped us to plan a few activities that ran flawlessly and helped us to experience some things we might not otherwise have been able to access. Thank you, Hazel!DaleNovember 2015
Hazel's place is amazing - made us feel we were staying in the middle of a rain forest!

Thank you Hazel.GerhardOctober 2016

This room was very clean and the bathroom is very spacious. Though it is a bit dark since it is on the first floor, the cleanliness and the hosts' helpfulness definitely make up for it. Hazel was extremely helpful and definitely went above and beyond to help us in any way possible (even after we left)! The room was cleaned promptly and anything we needed that wasn't in the room they happily shared with us! Also, we enjoyed an awesome nighttime swim in the pool! There were a couple geckos in the bathroom but this seems inevitable in Costa Rica, and is not related to cleanliness. Don't worry they are slow moving and keep to themselves at the top of the walls :)ArchaaJuly 2015

Manuel Antonio
My fiancé and I had a fantastic stay in Man Antonio at Paolos home. The location was prefect. Literally a 3 minute walk to the public beach and to the entrance to the park. Norma and her kids were great welcoming party and made sure everything ran smoothly. Will absolutely be staying here again when we come back to visit Costa Rica in the future!AzizaFebruary 2016
Paolo's place is very well described in his listing and is quite lovely. As a host Paolo is very responsive and eager that you enjoy your stay. His apartment is very conveniently located and yet still secluded from the main tourist strip of Manuel Antonio 'town', yet still mins from the park and stunning beaches. Norma (his manager) is utterly charming, and was very helpful to us, including joining us with her 11 yr old daughter for a jaunt in the Quepos farmer's market. Tip: knowing even a little Spanish will help a lot, though Manuel Antonio generally is full of more or less English-speakers, and Paolo's other guests will likely help you out. Thanks Paolo! Pura Vida.IanMarch 2016
Paolo's place was an lovely and Norma who let us inside and showed us around was incredible. His place is very centrally located, incredible walking distance to the national park, and very charming. We were running late because our flight ran late and Norma waited for us without any hint of complaint. Additionally, Paolo went out of his way to write us a detailed e-mail with suggestions of fun things to do and food to try in the area. Paolo's beach flat is a great place to stay in Manuel Antonio.RachelFebruary 2016
Paolo's place was great, it was very close to the beach (just an alley walk away). There are no grills on his door but on all the windows, however it is very safe area. The bed was very comfortable and transportation was easily accessible... we took a bus from his home To Quepos for the day (highly recommended) and it was easy as 123. He was also great at communicating and checked in me numerous Times prior to my arrival to ensure I had all of the info I nEeded. He also helped us find a driver to take us to and from Manuel antonio ... the driver does not speak English which was fine for me as I speak Spanish, plus he is very nice. Overall I definitely recommend staying at Paolo's when visiting Manuel.BrittanyNovember 2016
Upon arriving at the apartment we were met by Norma who showed us the space and helped us get setup on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) for communicating with her should we need anything. We found Norma to be very responsive, accommodating, and a great and friendly host. The location and closeness of the apartment to the beach and park entrance at Manuel Antonio couldn't have been better. We greatly enjoyed seeing birds and monkeys from the apartment and sitting out on the balcony enjoying our early morning breakfasts and walking a short distance to the beach to enjoy the sunsets and local restaurants. We found the kitchen to be fully stocked with all of the amenities and appliances that we needed and the apartment is only a short walk to a local grocery store. Also, parking at the apartment is private and secure. Our stay at the beach flat was wonderful and we would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for an affordable near-beach location.MarkMarch 2016
One amazing place, close to the beaches and national park, educated neighbors, very well conditioned and very safe place, a great time, grateful to Norma, was kind enough to greet us and tell us all about Manuel Antonio.KenSeptember 2016
Nous avons eu un accueil très chaleureux de Norma et de sa fille Analia. Elles ont été vraiment très gentilles et d'une grande aide, toujours disponibles et souriantes. L'appartement spacieux, propre et bien éclairé à l'étage supérieur convenait à nos goûts. Lit très confortable, cuisine bien équipée, air climatisé et WI-FI efficaces, grand balcon. Endroit tranquille et sécuritaire. Situé à 2 pas du Parc Manuel Antonio et de la grande plage Espadilla, près des transports publics, restos et épiceries. De plus, nous avons pu observer toutes sortes d'oiseaux dont des toucans, des singes et des petits chevreuils (corzo Bambi). Séjour ultra agréable.FrancoiseMarch 2016
This was our favorite stop during our vacation! Paolo and Norma's make a great team. They made sure we had everything we needed and more. Full of tips and tricks of the area. After 12 hours of being here we ended up booking the rest if our trip here. We felt so at home and relaxed. This place is litterally a couple hundred feet from the beach/shopping/restaurants and more! Also it is right next to the Manuel Antonio national park(a must see, early am is best). Because of this we got to see monkey each night heading back to the jungle from the balcony...very cool. This is the best area If you want to see wild life. We even got to see white tail deer each night in the field from the front door. The neighbors were very nice and also had many tips and suggestions, so don't be shy! The area is gated in and theres parking if you have a car. Very safe. Couldn't have ask for more. Would come back in a heartbeat!! Thank you Paolo and Norma!DrakeSeptember 2016

It was wonderful and so beautiful. James was extremely nice and was a great host, he will tell you about the place and show you around. The hippie house name might throw you off a little, but it is totally worth staying here. The pictures and description of this listing does it no justice it was amazing. Its also in a gated community makes you feel very safe if your worried about that.KrisNovember 2015
This place is absolutely beautiful! Great view and location is good for both towns- if you are going to Manual Antonio (short cab ride) or Quepos (short walk). I definitely thought there was a "catch" to the price being low and the beautiful pictures on the listing- but it looks exactly as shown. It was a gated community so also felt relatively safe here (being a single female traveller) :) Thanks James!JennNovember 2015

Great place to stay! Great location and view of nature and Quepos. Saw tons of monkeys and other wildlife. Great hosts, highly recommend!DanDecember 2015
Viewers of this listing may be forgiven for asking "what's the catch?", but trust me there isn't one. This is just what it says on the tin; a unique opportunity to stay in five star comfort at backpackers prices. The photos barely do the place justice; it really is stunning. There are great restaurants nearby, an absolutely fabulous beach and ample opportunity to get up close and personal with the local wildlife. A car would be helpful although certainly not essential as the local taxis are very reasonably priced. James is a charming host and welcomed me into his circle of friends in the most open-hearted fashion (a significant choice of words as you may discover). Grab it while you can folks because it's a short term offer.rodNovember 2015
It was more than I expected. Loved the sound of the forest. The monkeys all around were great too! So close to Quepos beach and Manuel Antonio. Everything was great!JuliánJanuary 2016
Communication with the owners was not a problem and they fixed the lights at pool next day so no worries for future guests.TraciJune 2016

I stayed in the single room, la cava. It's as close as you can get to spending a night in the jungle without buying a tent. The room is small but has everything you need. The open-air kitchen/living room is great for relaxing. There's a regular bus between Quepos and Manuel Antonio for 305 colones. WiFi is weak in the room but fine on the table just outside.IlhanSeptember 2016
Staying at the Castillo de la Riveria was one of my best airbnb experiences! Julie and her father were so nice and helpful. Julie helped me out with suggestions for my stay and even helped me book activities. I met really lovely people during my stay as well. The room is a good size for one person, it felt bigger than it looked in the photos. Would definitely recommend!HoungJanuary 2017

Muy lindo lugarAlejandroJanuary 2017
Castillo was such a nice relaxing place to stay. I really felt like home here. Clean, quiet and spacious. The room is perfect for one who wants a bit more privacy than a hostel with the opportunity to meet others as well. The dinners on Tuesday are amazing, the vibe there is great! Julie and her dad were awesome hosts and I hope to go back someday!!JessFebruary 2017
perfecto lugar para relajarse, armonioso y silencioso. importante usar repelente de insectos.MarielSeptember 2016
This is a very charming place between Quepos and Manuel Antonio. I loved the outdoor kitchen and the large chill-out zone. Felt like sitting in the jungle. You might see some monkeys directly from the sofa :-) The room is small but there was everything I needed and you can use all facilities like bathroom, toilet, washing machine and dryer. The bus station to Quepos and Manuel Antonio are a few metres of this location away. They drive very frequently, so no problem to get to the Nationalpark or beach (about 15-20 Minutes) or to Quepos (about 5 - 10 Minutes). The host, Julie is very nice. She was always available for questions and helped me out with everything. We even went out once for dinner. I would return to this place. If you want to be directly on the beach this place isn't for you.MichèleOctober 2016

Iñigo hat mich sehr freundlich in Empfang genommen obwohl ich einige Stunden früher als vereinbart in Manuel Antonio ankam. Er hat mir auch direkt die Nachbarschaft gezeigt, Restaurants empfohlen und alle Fragen die ich hatte beantwortet,. was sehr hilfreich war bei der Planung der nächsten Tage. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und liebevoll eingerichtet. Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Straße vorm Haus wird derzeit asphaltiert. Entsprechend ist es recht staubig (und tagsüber vermutlich auch lauter aber ich war ich unterwegs). Carolina und Iñigo sind sehr herzliche und aufgeschlossene Menschen mit denen man sich prima unterhalten kann. Wenn ich das wieder in der Nähe sein sollte komme ich mit Sicherheit wieder vorbei! Danke für alles Pura Vida Sarah =)SarahMarch 2015
Carolina und Iñigo sind super tolle, überaus nette Gastgeber! Bamboo nicht zu vergessen;-) Die Hütte ist super sauber und schön! Sogar eine feine Musikauswahl steht zur Verfügung! Beide Hosts geben tolle Tipps und machen alles, damit man sich wohl fühlt! Wenn nochmal Manuel Antonio, dann wieder dort! Probiert das Frühstück, der Smoothie ist unschlagbar!ninaJuly 2015
Carolina und Iñigo sind super freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeber, es hat wirklich Spaß gemacht 5 Wochen bei Ihnen zu wohnen! Das Haus ist gepflegt und mit allem ausgestattet, was man so braucht. Handtücher und Bettwäsche werden jederzeit bei Bedarf gewechselt, gegebenenfalls kann man auch Wäsche waschen lassen. Obwohl es in der Zeit, in der ich dort war, extrem heiß war, konnte man es dank vieler Ventilatoren gut aushalten. Das Haus ist ausreichend groß für zwei Personen - für drei Personen würde ich es zumindest für einen längeren Aufenthalt nicht unbedingt empfehlen, da ich mir nicht vorstellen kann, dass man auf dem Sofa bequem schlafen kann. Das Haus hat eine nette Terrasse und einen hübschen kleinen Garten, toll um draußen zu frühstücken! Die Lage ist perfekt, da Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants sowie eine Bushaltestelle und ein Taxistand gut zu Fuß erreichbar sind. Ich habe mich in dem Haus dank der guten Nachbarschaft sehr sicher gefühlt, auch Carolina und Iñigo wohnen mitsamt drei Hunden gleich nebenan. Die Geräuschkulisse ist zugegebenermaßen recht hoch - Hunde, Hähne, Autos, Motorräder - aber man gewöhnt sich schnell daran. Also ich würde bzw. werde beim nächsten Mal auf jeden Fall wieder bei Carolina und Iñigo wohnen!TanjaFebruary 2016
The place was perfect for our stay and had all the amenities that we needed. Carolina and Inigo were very helpful and gave us many ideas of places to go and offered to show us around the neighbourhood. We would stay here longer if we could!AmandaDecember 2014
Carolina and Iñigo's place was much larger than expected, and the home had excellent and creative styling. The home was minutes from the beach and thanks to Carolina and Iñigo's tips, we found some gorgeous beaches that were off the beaten path. If you don't take heat well, the lack of AC did drain us at first, but we got used to it the following days - some indoor fans are provided and were helpful!JoseMay 2016
Carolina and Inigo are so kind and truly embody the pura vida spirit. If you are looking for a private, local, simple but warm space to rest in a high end area (the "road between Quepos and Manuel Antonio") this place would be perfect for you. Amazing jungle sounds every night. Neighbor's roosters as morning alarm clocks! It's like camping but with all the comforts of home.OscarFebruary 2016
Carolina was great. She was there when we arrived. She showed us the apartment and then we talked for awhile discussing things to do in Manuel Antonio. She had a lot of great suggestions. Her house is very close to shops, restaurants and the bus stop. It took about 5 minutes to get to the beach/Manuel Antonio Park by bus. I loved the way she designed the apartment, its very unique and cool. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody who wants a great, safe place to stay in Manuel Antonio.Kathryn September 2016
The location was perfect! And Carolina made a lot of great recommendations on restaurants, etc. We only stayed for two nights, so didn't need very much for the two nights. Two showers available, one outside to wash sand off you, and one indoors. Would recommend!LindaMay 2016

Eine gemütliche kleine Wohnung mit Garten. Wir haben uns wohlgefühlt und würden wiederkommen. Max ist sehr nett und war sehr um unser Wohlbefinden bemüht.Christian December 2016
Pas très al aise, un carácter très dificilGaïaDecember 2016
Max was a wonderful host. He collected us from the bus station and he also took us on a trip of the surrounding area the next day. This helped us to organise what we wanted to do during our visit. In addition, he took us to the fruit market and to the bus station when leaving. The cabin was well equipped and it was more like having your own place, rather than just a room. The plunge pool was excellent for "cooling off" after spending a day in the heat. I would recommend this place to any couple seeking to explore Manual Antonio at a very reasonable price.AlistairMarch 2017
The cabin in the garden made our Quepos experience all the better. The location provided an authentic Quepos experience while still providing us easy access to Manuel Antonio, zip lining and waterfalls! We made the 5 minute walk from the cabin to town plenty of times, during day and night, and always felt safe. Even his local neighbors were super friendly! The cabin was clean and provided plenty of privacy. Max's garden is beautiful and well landscaped with tons of orchids hanging around. As a host Max was perfect, and he offered plenty of advice and history of the area. He even loaned us body boards and beach chairs which came in handy while lounging in Manuel Antonio. Definitely will stay again!MelissaJune 2016
Had a wonderful stay in Max's cabin - a very good size for two people, equipped with a kitchenette, bathroom, good air-con, decent wifi, and was spotlessly clean. Lots of nice touches throughout our stay; Max did a tour of the town for us, provided fresh fruit, gave us lifts around the town when needed, and picked us up on arrival. Really good location - in the town of Quepos, so easy access to restaurants, bus station, but also right outside the bus stop for Manuel Antonio Nationl Park. The plunge pool outside the cabin was perfect at the end of a long day out in the heat. Also loved Max's delightful dogs who were calm, playful, but very quiet.ColinMay 2016
Max was hospitable, friendly, and even provided us with a list of suggested activities surrounding the Quepos area. The room was spacious and clean, the AC was super cold and a nice break from the heat. We will be staying in touch with Max and joining him again on our next visit to the area!SethFebruary 2016
My son and I enjoyed Max's place. Bus access, restaurants and groceries were very accessible. Bus fares were less than $.75 (US) per person to Manuel Antonio Park and the beaches. The beaches are beautiful and offer tons of options of things to do. We ate one meal a day back at the cottage and found the kitchen to fit any cooking needs we had. The unit maintained a very comfortable temperature throughout our stay and seemed to provide a secure and safe place to leave items or hang out after a long day at the beach or park(URL HIDDEN) Max was very kind with picking us up and dropping us off and the beginning and end of our stay. He also showed us around when we arrived which was very nice and helpful(URL HIDDEN)Hopefully travels take us to Quespos again! If we are so lucky we will be staying at Max's again.ZacharyJune 2016
I thoroughly recommend Max' Cabin. I had a great time there with my two kids aged 7 and 4. It is amazing value for money considering all the facilities that are there. I would have paid triple the price for an air conditioned room with kitchen and pool in any other place in Quepos/Manuel Antonio. The cabin was spotlessly clean and had lots of nice touches, tea/coffee condiments, towels, guide books and even two umbrellas, to name a few.FayeApril 2016

La buena ola. Carlos es encantador, muy atento y un excelente anfitrión. Ofrece un alojamiento sencillo, digno y muy bien ubicado. Si buscan algo auténtico en Manuel Antonio este es su sitio.ElenaJuly 2016
La comunicacion con carlos fue muy fluida y las indicaciones claras. Finalmente no nos quedamos a dormir porque llegamos de noche, el acceso a la casa no está en buenas condiciones, e ibamos con un coche alquilado sin 4x4 y muy cargados. Creo que Carlos se lo tomó a mal pese a que en ningun momento le pedí la devolucion del dinero, pero no quise arriesgarme por el carro y las lluvias. Salud!Marino December 2016
Carlos was welcoming and warm, we liked him right away. The room was exactly what we planned for ( a bed) because we knew we would spend all of our time adventuring. we had living space and a kitchen that we made breakfast in everyday.DevotaDecember 2016
Gezelligheid en veel tips voor je verblijf in Manuel Antonio. Alles is te regelen, een Tour voor het national parc (zeer goede gids), taxi.. Ontbijt is inbegrepen. Zelf brood roosteren en eitjes bakken. De keuken kan gebruikt worden voor een warme maaltijd. Er is geen warm water in de douche, basic maar prima in de warmte!FiorentinaFebruary 2017
Fui en pareja con mi novio. Carlos es muy agradable, nos ha ayudado en todo lo que ha podido. Hemos podido disfrutar de largas conversaciones con él, así como algunos desayunos y comidas. Es la mejor opción si quieres saborear cómo vivir como un tico. Buena situación para llegar a la playa o al parque nacional Manuel Antonio, ya sea en bus (muy barato) o dando un paseo sin prisa. Siempre nos sentimos muy seguros en el barrio.ElenaJanuary 2017
Our stay at Carlos' place was awesome. He's a perfect host and the best surfer teacher we met :) Definitely recommended! Thank you Charlie for your generosity and for making us feel more locals than tourists. And BTW, the expresso shake I'm drinking right now is awesome ;) Thanks for the tip! xx Ana & VictorAnaïsFebruary 2017
We loved staying with Carlos. He is so nice and was so helpful, from sending us bus schedules to recommending the best spots to check out. The place itself is nice, just a short walk from the main road and the bus. We would highly recommend staying here!HannahMarch 2017
Carlos welcomed us and show us his place with all the instructions. He helped us with the bus schedule and what to do in Manuel Antonio(national park and best spot). These last completed very well our last days in Costa Rica!ÉmilieApril 2017

Jossy's place is VERY close to the national park, right next to it. And the beach is a 2-5 min walk. Jossy directed us to cheap food (restaurant down the road), transportation to get to manuel antonio, and grocery store. It was a cozy stay and a private room was awesomeSamDecember 2016
J'ai adoré l'endroit! Presque caché, à 2 pas du Parc Manuel Antonio, à 5 minutes à pied de la plage, très tranquille, très propre, Jossy est gentille et consciencieuse du bon état des lieux. Je ne pouvais plus partir, je le recommande fortement!ManonMarch 2017
The location here is everything. 1 minute walk to the park entrance and 2 minute walk to the beach!!! The room was exactly as it looked in the pictures and was simple but nice. The wifi worked great and there was a mini fridge and an outdoor shower for rinsing sand off your feet which were nice touches!AlexandraMarch 2017
The room is basic but immaculately clean. The location is ideal. Right next to the national park and a few minutes from the public beach and bus stop to Manuel Antonio/Quepos. Note because it's next to the national park you might be woken up early by howler monkeys. Also, sound travels easily through the complex so you will likely be woken up by other guests or those living on the property. Jossy is very friendly and even did a huge load of laundry for us while we were there. overall ideal place to stay if you're planning on early starts.EoinSeptember 2016

The birds nest is amazing! Wonderful view, very big room and birds all over de place. We added one additional night to our stay because me and my girlfriend both really liked this place. Steven and his crew are very nice people. Breakfast is delicious, the flowers in the garden are beautiful, the hammocks are great and the pool is a nice extra! We highly recommend this place!JorisDecember 2016
My partner and I had a wonderful experience during our stay in the Bird's Nest. The location offered incredible views. The sounds of the rainforest around us were the perfect lullaby in the evening and the most peaceful alarm you'll find, in the mornings. The rain on tin roofs was a delight, the rolling thunder, the mist on the mountains, the colorful birds zipping past. In all honesty, the Bird's Nest was the highlight of our stay in the Manuel Antonio area. We definitely wished we had stayed longer. Steven was very helpful and accommodating and gave us great advice on local food in the area as well as useful information on activities and places to visit. He also helped us out when our car popped a flat. 5/5 would definitely recommend.AlvinAugust 2016
No puedo realizar una valoración de la habitación puesto que finalmente nos alojamos en otra. Tanto el dueño como su hijo fueron muy amables y dispuestos a ayudar en todo. El lugar está muy limpio y el servicio cuida todos los detalles.JorgeAugust 2016
Steven's place is very unique. It feels like you are camping--you're surrounded by the jungle and wake up to the sounds of birds! The perfect Costa Rican experience. It's perfect for 2 couples. There's also a pool and kitchen that is shared with the rest of the place.KatieMarch 2017
Steven was a great host--offering suggestions for our stay. The accommodations were clean and we loved the unique experience of staying in the birds nest. I do recommend ear plugs - there are lovely nature sounds but there were also dogs barking a lot in the night that kept us up the one night despite the ear plugs. The breakfast was wonderful--freshly made. We really enjoyed both our rooms, and the lounge areas. I definitely recommend Steven's accommodations!kendaFebruary 2017
This place was the perfect place to stay for visiting Manuel Antonio park and the local beaches, the rooftop terrace was a really great experience, thanx Steven for giving us great tips on what to do for fun around here!JasonDecember 2016

Nosotras pasamos una noche en Casa Elsa, de viernes a sábado, y el alojamiento fue una experiencia maravillosa; nuestra habitación limpia y espaciosa, las instalaciones son un hagazago y el desayuno estuvo delicioso. El único contraparte fue el parqueo, que está a los 75 metros y el auto queda a la par de la calle, pero afortunadamente no le sucedió nada a mi auto, aparte de eso la estadía fue maravillosa, y los anfitriones fueron una belleza con nosotras. Definitivamente recomendaría este lugar.SharonJune 2016
My husband and I truly enjoyed our 2 days stay at Casa Elsa(3/20 thru 3/22). Both were very warm and welcoming in their own way! The house is amazing! The room was clean & comfortable! Bathroom is an experience! They were attentive and on property to meet all our needs! Delicious breakfast prepared from scratch from charming Sally! Unforgettable! Beautiful view to the ocean and all vegetation, including the free visit of differents species of monkeys! Be careful with personal items and food! Walking distance to nice restaurants, stores, coffees, beaches! What more could you ask for!Aura EMarch 2016
I can't say enough wonderful things about Jarek, his lovely wife and Casa Elsa. The architecture is absolutely stunning. The common areas are completely open to a jungle backdrop and you can hear birds and monkeys from time to time. The house is kept extremely tidy as a cleaning service comes daily and the design accents from the floors to the art on the walls are so beautiful. Our room was spacious, with a private bathroom and shower with great water pressure. Bonus: breakfast is served daily at 8:00 AM. Coffee eggs/pancakes, baked goods and smoothies. Location - The location is quite perfect. The beach is a short walk although you can drive if you have a car with 4 wheel drive. You can go to a busier beach or very private one where we saw only a handful of other people. The house is also extremely close to the best restaurants in Manuel Antonio as well as a yoga studio - you can also have an instructor come to the house to teach a a private class). While there are 4 rooms and we had a full house, it was always quiet and peaceful. We befriended the other guests and had a great time just hanging out on the main level in the pool a lot of the time. There's a great community vibe but plenty of privacy. I'd definitely recommend Casa Elsa to anyone visiting Manuel Antonio and can't thank Jarek enough for such a lovely stay!LeahJanuary 2016
My family and I had an amazing time in villa Elsa. We enjoyed every single moment in this place. Villa Elsa is such an experience-beautiful and unique; location is perfect- beach and restaurants are only 5 minutes far away; host was wonderful-Jarek and his wife took care of us from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. We are definitely coming back!! Once again, thank you!!MarinaMay 2016

A really special place. The house is truly amazing with great hosts. On our first night Jarek showed us his favourite local Soda and stayed for a few beers while we quizzed him on costa rican life for an expat (whilst he continually checked he wasnt encroaching on our space). And sitting in the third floor pool watching the monkeys in the tree tops a few metres opposite was surreal!CallumNovember 2016
met Jarek upon arrival and he was super cool and laid back, I was in love with the property from the minute we stepped into the amazing doorway , I loved everything single thing about this property if you can stay here DO IT!!!!! The monkeys come right into the kitchen omg we were in heavenBrandtFebruary 2016
La casa es increíble, un ambiente abierto para que estes en contacto con la naturaleza. Los anfitriones Jarek y Sally son estupendos, muy atentos y cálidos.

Mitte August waren wir ( 2 Freundinnen) zum Relaxen in Manuel Antonio. Und dies kann man natürlich am besten, wenn man eine schöne Unterkunft hat. Tariqs kleine Wohnung war dazu ideal. Es war alles da, was wir brauchten. Die supergroße überdachte Terrasse haben wir ausgiebig genossen, ob um tagsüber den herrlichen Blick auf das Meer zu genießen oder insbesondere bei der Beobachtung der abendlichen Gewitter über dem Pazifik. Kühlschrank, Toaster, Kaffeemaschine, gut eingerichtete Küche, ein sehr großes Bett, prima funtionierendes Internet und sogar ein Telefon für Inlands- Gespräche, alles sauber, wir haben uns sehr gut für die weitere Reise erholt. Die Wohnung liegt näher an dem Nationalpark als an Quepos. Alles was man zum Leben braucht, bekommt man in Fußnähe, zum Park kommt man zu Fuß in 20 Minuten bergab oder mit dem Bus in 5 Minuten. Der Bus fährt alle 15 Minuten, kostet wenig und verbindet den Park mit Quepos. Man braucht also kein Auto! Im Park selber war leider in unserer Zeit nur ein Strand geöffnet, aber vor dem Park ist ebenfalls ein schöner Strand gelegen. Tariq wohnt nicht bei der Wohnung, war zu unserer Zeit anfangs wohl beruflich unterwegs , so dass wir von der Nachbarin empfangen wurden. Im Vorfeld hat er uns ein paar gute Informationen per Mail geschickt. Später haben wir ihn persönlich kennengelernt, Tariq erschien uns unkompliziert, hilfsbereit und sehr freundlich. Nachts kann es bisweilen etwas lauter werden durch die naheliegenden Bars und den Pool haben wir als nicht so sauber empfunden. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können die Wohnung wärmstens weiter empfehlen.CatharinaAugust 2014
Tariq was a most accommodating host. From our initial email exchange until check out he was very helpful and willing. The apartment itself has everything you need for your stay. It is clean, simple and boosts arguable one of the most incredible views of the ocean the second you step in the door. He has secured a private wifi router so there is fast reliable internet should need be. The ac works although we never used it as the apartment is so open to the breeze. The apartment is located between the town of Quepos and the Manuel Antonio park. Steps away from the apartment you will find a bus that runs to and from the park. Very convenient. If you plan on coming to CR a stop down in the paradise that is the Manuel Antonio area is a must and I would highly recommend staying with Tariq.MichaelJune 2014
We were greeted at the airport by our host Tariq. Stop to get some grocerys before heading to his property. We made it to the condo every other review has it right the view is amazing. There is nothing I can say bad about this place except maybe there should be a way for the hammock to swing back and forth on it's own...lol. Tariq is an amazing host making sure we got to and from the airport very knowledgeable of the area. We will be staying here again when in Manuel Antonio.DanielNovember 2016
Tariq stayed in regular touch with us and made us feel very welcome. He even had some milk and OJ in the fridge for us. The number of the steps up to the apartment was a bit of a surprise but worth the effort as the view was beautiful and the terrace very private. The apartment was more than adequate. The pool is handy right across the driveway. This is a very popular tourist area close to many good restaurants thus a bit noisy. They usually settle down by 10:30 pm. From this unit it was not a problem. If you want a treehouse view through the canopy and don't mind climbing a few stairs than this one is for you!Linda IMarch 2015
This condo at Villas El Parque and Manuel Antonio is a great getaway! This is the tropics. Colorful flowers and birds. Monkeys, sloths, an iquana which seems to live on a neighbor's roof. Multi-layered jungle on all sides. Mangos and coconuts. Beaches are beautiful, and the water is warm. Tariq's condo is a gem. It's airy and immaculate. Tasteful, tropical furnishings. Comfortable king-size bed. It has three ceiling fans and the lanai, which is the highlight. Such an amazing view. We spent hours hanging out, watching wildlife, distant surf, sunsets, and a lightning storm. The condo is convenient to several excellent restaurants, such as the Aqua Azul, Emilio's, Victoria's and El Milagro. Tariq is a wonderful host, welcoming, generous, accommodating, and unobtrusive. He arranged transport from San Jose and gave us good tips for local excursions. We used one of his guides for a hike in the National Park, and saw things we could not have spotted alone – an owl, bat, five-foot long green snake, spiders, iguana and other lizards, two species of monkeys, sloths, and raccoons. We also enjoyed the zip line immensely. This is the place to stay in Manuel Antonio. You'll be pleased.AnnMay 2015
The condo has an amazing view of the pacific and La Tortuga island. It was a great condo with all the amenities that you need. The location is also very convenient with excellent coffee and restaurants within quick walking distance. Tariq was a great host with plenty of advice on where to go and what there was to do. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants to enjoy Manuel Antonio for a reasonable price.jjMarch 2016
Tariq was an excellent host! The condo was far better than the pictures show! Tariq was quick to fix a broken door handle on Christmas Eve. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to spend time in Manuel Antonio. The condo is within walking distance to several top rated restaurants and the public bus. Thank you Tariq for making our Christmas special!!!TuckerDecember 2015
Tariq and his wife were extremely warm and welcoming, happy to help in any way. That was just a bonus because the apartment is PERFECT for 2 (maybe 3) people: fantastic porch with a view, well-equipped apartment, extremely clean, and in a perfect location. I've been to Manuel Antonio at least 15 times and the location of this place is exactly what you want: not far from beach for the day, but close to all the great bars and restaurants for the evening. 100% recommend this place and Tariq, and 100% returning.JosephJanuary 2014

Lovereading view...
Shortlisted for the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year 2010.
Shortlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger 2009.
CWA Judges' comments: 'A cutting, topical take on drug crime in contemporary London, with a brilliantly engineered twist.'
Billingham moves away from the DI Thorne series for this story set in the criminal underworld of London. He brings a whole host of characters together and shows the impact of the increasing crime and violence on the streets, not only on innocent victims but the gangs themselves and the police who have to deal with it. Gripping, intense stuff from this excellent writer.
If you like Mark Billingham you might also like to read books by Graham Hurley, Simon Kernick and Michael Connelly.

A big thank you for the two Lovereading bags I ordered, which have arrived safely. I love mine and will use it with pride. The bags are lovely quality, sturdy and support a good cause in the Rewrap initiative; I think they make the perfect accessory for any book lover. The second bag was a gift for my sister and she says she will take it to her next book group meeting to help spread the Lovereading word. Once again, many thanks. Emily Wright
In the Dark by Mark Billingham
A rainy night in London. Shots are fired into a car which swerves on to the pavement, ploughing into a bus stop. It seems that a chilling gang initiation has cost an innocent victim their life. But the reality is far more sinister…
One life is wiped out and three more are changed forever: the young man whose finger was on the trigger; an ageing gangster planning a deadly revenge, and the pregnant woman who struggles desperately to uncover the truth. Two weeks away from giving birth, how will she deal with a world where death is an occupational hazard?
In a city where violence can be random or meticulously planned, where teenage gangs clash with career criminals and where loyalty is paid for in blood, anything is possible. Secrets are uncovered as fast as bodies, and the story's final twist is as breathtakingly surprising as they come.
'A stunning novel … the final twist is brilliantly clever and shocking' The Times
'Brilliantly plotted and written' Scotland on Sunday
'Edgy, pacy and frighteningly plausible' Daily Mirror
'Billingham produces an astonishing final twist to complete his most ambitious and most accomplished book' Sunday Telegraph
