From start to finish it was a first class experience. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, the views were beyond fantastic, accommodations 5 star and the food scrumptious. Can't complain about a thing. We sent several people to the Web site. Hope it does not get overpriced for the area. We would love to come back. ##### Pam R.

Spectacular huge 4th floor with views of the ocean, the mountains, toucans, and monkeys! It was the gathering place for our group of 13. Read a book on one of the many balconies, eat lunch or dinner, swim in the infinity pool, hang out by the bar, or crank up the bluetooth outdoor stereo for an impromptu dance party-----all at the same time! Something for everyone and plenty of space. Of particular note was Chef Javier and wife Carina. Talented and charming. Our meals were wonderful and tailored to our group. A pleasure to be around. We are even Facebook friends now....highly recommended! ##### David H. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon L. Jul 17, 2017 #### Vacation in paradise Vista Hermosa Estate is definitely 5\* plus! Every detail has been thought of, from the coded locks on each bedroom for privacy and a safe in each room, to the loaded ipad on the top deck for music and beach accessories like chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards. The infinity pool on the top floor is outstanding, I could stay there all day. The staff are top notch, great at what they do and very friendly. Every single meal was delicious, housekeeping kept everything spotless and our concierge was friendly, always available and ready to help with the answers at her fingertips. I would not hesitate to recommend this property. (this is not the property for anyone with mobility issues as there are a lot of stairs) ##### Sharon L.

I have been traveling to Costa Rica for close to 15 years and this house was one of the best in the Manual Antonio area. The house easily accommodated our group 14 adults with one bedroom not used at all. The entire staff was amazing...I wanted to bring the chefs (Javier and Karina) back to the states with us!! We did several excursions just to further explore the area but there is no real reason to leave the house. The house has its own 5-10 minute hiking path down to the beach which is VERY uncommon for most homes in Manual Antonio. We booked with Don at CRVacationproperties.com and he was very accommodating to all request. If you are traveling with a large group you cant beat this property. ##### Joe C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol M. Jan 1, 2018 #### Serene and beautiful beach villa Our visit to Vista Hermosa was fabulous. This large home is well appointed and not over done. The home is open and airy. It is like staying in the rainforest while having the comforts of home. The owners have thought of everything. The full time staff makes it especially easy. Chef Javier and Hillary were personable and professional. They were extra accommodating to our dietary needs and large number of family members We would definitely recommend this property to friends and other family members. Our only caution would be that it might not be appropriate for families with toddlers or small children due to the large amount of stairs and balconies. We hope to return soon! ##### Carol M.

The location of the property, its proximity to the town and beaches were absolutely awesome. Private walkway to the beach by means of walking thru a beautiful mini-rainforest with wildlife like howler monkeys, horses and every colorful bird imaginable. The rooms are hard to explain... much nicer than any resort, but cozy like home. Air conditioning was beautiful :) and the showers offered a beautiful picturesque beach from the large sun windows. The chefs became friends with our whole family and offered service, insight and a whole lot of laughs along the way. The pictures do a great job of showing you EXACTLY what to expect... nothing but pure beauty and supreme relaxation. Pool is the perfect size, the the GINORMUS deck is where our party of 20 hung out when we weren't at the beach or on an excursion looking at whales on the catamaran. If you only go to Costa Rica one time... this is THE place to stay! ##### Nick M. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erinn C. Jul 14, 2017 #### Pure Paradise We had a fantastic week in Costa Rica! The pictures of this house do not do it justice...you can't truly capture the beauty of this incredible home unless you see it in person!! The layout is perfect for large groups with plenty of room for everyone. The pool is beautiful! The short walk to the beach was a fun adventure everyday seeing what animals we could find on the way. The monkeys visiting us during our morning coffee was an experience none of us will ever forget!! Every aspect of our trip was perfect. Shiona was a big part of making this trip such a success! All of our excursions, even a last minute parasailing adventure, were fantastic! The household staff were wonderful and so accommodating! The attention to detail and helpfulness of everyone made our week a joy! Special shout out to the chefs who became extended family for the week and treated us so wonderfully! The food was delicious...every single meal was out of this world! We can't wait to go back! Pure paradise!! ##### Erinn C.

We arrived at Vista Hermosa with 4 other couples, our expectations were high after carefully reviewing all the properties that fit our criteria in Manual Antonio, and deciding on this one based on all the excellent reviews and of course the photographs, photos have however fooled me in the past not this time! the pictures can not come close to doing anything about Vista Hermosa justice, it is 10 times better in person! The sweeping ocean views are breathtaking, the house is exquisite in every way, Private Chef Javier prepared delicious healthy fresh meals that were better than any restaurant around, we were spoiled in every way, the beach is a quick walk down the private trail and it is Beautiful and quiet! hardly anyone around, you can walk down the beach 15 minutes to town and Bars and Restaurants and the main Beach for people watching or stay at the Villa and relax. all the guest rooms have Balconies with amazing views and the balcony upstairs with the Infinity pool is absolutely Addicting! you can look at that view all day! I never stopped taking pictures. there are plenty of activities available which Shiona can help you plan and book with ease, Manual Antonio is a quaint and Charming town and Vista Hermosa is a once in a lifetime experience, Highly Recommended ##### Tina W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jami B., Burr Ridge, Illinois Apr 16, 2019 #### 50th in the Jungle Vista Hermosa was a perfect place to have my 50th Birthday. 10 couples arrived to spend the week together. We all fell in love with this gorgeous home. The best way to describe how well this house works even for 20 of us. Our day would start with early risers pressing start on the coffee makers ready to go. Slowly people would gather drinking coffee and watching and listening to the Jungle waking up. Two days we had yoga which was amazing to start the day off. Then we had a wonderful breakfast. Splitting the day with time on the beautiful beach and then heading back to the house for cocktails and appetizers up by the pool. Enjoying the beauty of the sunset. Javier and his mom made us wonderful meals and brought our group together every night. After dinner we spent it by the bar area sometimes dancing under the lights. The bedrooms were a nice getaway to recharge with beautifully appointed rooms. Some took advantage of the many opportunities of activities nearby and enjoyed those adventures. It was a magical place that we will all remember. We hope to come back in the future. ##### Jami B. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lil H., Miami Feb 12, 2018 #### "Paradise found" We were truly impressed with speaking with Susan, the concierge. She embodies what I wish all concierges would be like. Working with her from the beginning has been truly a fantastic experience. She had a lot of great suggestions of how we can enjoy the house and schedule tours and get the most out of Manuel Antonio! This piece of paradise was perfect for our party of 12 (6 couples) we all had our private room and on-suite to separate us when we needed it. The impressive top floor to gather with everyone and enjoy the most amazing view with cool breezes we experience everyday was beyond breathtaking. The invisible edge pool is where we ended up with a drink in hand and the surround sound music on to end of fantastic day. The house chef Javier and his daughter Hilary served nothing less than a 5 star meals. He was truly a pleasure to have around. The maids were attentive, friendly and had our rooms cleaned daily. But, where this place really shines is how quiet and tranquil this place was. This was exactly the vibe that I wanted to have, a peaceful and relaxing place where you soak up all that beachfront living can offer. Definitely a place I wouldn't mind going back to again and again! Pura Vida. ##### Lil H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Duane R., Jacksonville Fl Dec 6, 2018 #### A trip of a life time that may have to be repeated. Awe inspiring views to start and finish each day I have stayed in VRBO homes throughout the continental USA, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico and now Costa Rica. I have to say that the pictures of this home accurately depict the beauty of Vista Hermosa. Everything was as advertised. Chef Javier and his beautiful wife Karina are amazing. If you are fortunate enough to catch fresh Mahi they can prepare it any way you want. The cleaning staff, grounds crew and onsite security were all courteous and accommodating. Susan the concierge was very helpful in lining up a very busy itinerary for our group of 24 and the owner, aside from building such a lovely home, was also prompt, accommodating and professional when addressing the money side of this deal. The bottom line is that this place accommodated a group of 24 people with ages ranging from 10 to 75 and everyone had a wonderful time without getting in each others way. Some sat on the deck all day and read books while others jumped from waterfalls. There is something for all in Costa Rica and this home can either be used as a gateway to adventure or a place to decompress and get your YOGA on. If you decide to try this place out and can't fill the rooms let me know and maybe I'll take one off your hands. PURA VIDA. ##### Duane R.

One of the most magical vacations our family has ever been on! We secured this house almost a year ago, months before construction was even complete. After speaking with Don, property manager, last summer, We felt confident booking Vista Hermosa during mid-construction and we have zero regrets. The property is even better than we imagined! We had a large group of 12 adults and 8 children (8 mo- 14 years) and everyone had an amazing experience. Shiona, concierge, helped us with our 5 car rentals, shuttle service to and from airport, and several activities (zip lining, white water rafting and parasailing). She was always available to help with a big smile! She took all stress out of the trip! Javier and Karina, chefs, provided us with some of the best meals we've ever had! They are so personable and have a true passion for cooking! We all wish we could bring them back to California with us 😄. I was born in Costa Rica and have been back several times and our experience at Vista Hermosa was hands down the BEST!!! We created memories to last a lifetime! Thank you Don, Shiona, Javier and Karina for the 5 Star experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️We will be back!!! Pura Vida! ##### Rosalynn M. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Waterpark Hotels in Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Waterpark-Hotels.0-0-d178294-tWaterparkHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bosque del Cabo Rain Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Bosque-Del-Cabo-Rain-Forest-Lodge.h11886299.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Punta Leona](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Punta-Leona.h486442.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Vacation Club at Los Suenos](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Marriott-Vacation-Club-At-Los-Suenos.h60169844.Hotel-Information) > > [Ylang Ylang Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Ylang-Ylang-Beach-Resort.h32536597.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Barbados](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Barbados-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d16-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Monteverde Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Lodge-Gardens-By-Boena.h4497846.Hotel-Information) > > [Fiesta Resort Central Pacific - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Barranca-Hotels-Fiesta-Resort-Central-Pacific-All-Inclusive.h692315.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Wasagaming](https://www.expedia.ca/Wasagaming-Hotels.d181809.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel & Spa Poco a Poco](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Spa-Poco-A-Poco.h4485115.Hotel-Information) > > [Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Dreams-Vallarta-Bay-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h4943508.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Nantipa - A Tico Beach Experience](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Hotel-Nantipa-A-Tico-Beach-Experience.h28413626.Hotel-Information) > > [Los Suenos Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Los-Suenos-Marriott-Ocean-Golf-Resort.h522999.Hotel-Information) > > [Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Camino-Verde-Bed-Breakfast.h4449816.Hotel-Information) > > [Tango Mar Beachfront Boutique Hotel & Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Cobano-Hotels-Tango-Mar-Beachfront-Boutique-Hotel-Villas.h903960.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels.d6023515.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Barceló Tambor](https://www.expedia.ca/Paquera-Hotels-Barcelo-Tambor.h795208.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Dubai (DXB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/dxb/toronto-to-dubai) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Madinah (MED)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/med/toronto-to-madinah) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/lax/vancouver-to-los-angeles) > > [flights from saint john airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/ysj/flights-from-saint-john-airport) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lhr/yyc/london-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Rome (FCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/fco/halifax-to-rome) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ywg/toronto-to-winnipeg) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Dallas](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Dallas.d178253.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Car rentals in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Toronto.d178314.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Las Vegas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas.d178276.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Bali Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Bali.d602651.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Mexico Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Mexico.d117.Destination-Travel-Guides)
