I can't imagine a more peaceful, relaxing place than the pavilion at Manu. Oh how i miss having wine by the pool and watching Toucans in the trees above me. I'll try to post pictures of the view-amazing. We took advantage of having Grace cook meals most nights and her cooking did not disappoint. Her fish dishes were fine dining... More

This dream home was absolutely fabulous with every detail attended to. The views of the surrounding jungle terrain as well as the ocean were just awesome as were the variety of wild birds and monkeys that we were able to capture on camera! We were fortunate to meet the owners, a lovely couple, Alex and Grace, and enjoy their company... More

We stayed in the Bosque en el Cielo for our honeymoon earlier this month and cannot say enough good things about it. It was better than we could have imagined. Alex and Grace were on vacation during our stay but made sure that we were well taken care of by their groundskeeper, Jose and the rest of the staff. The... More

Our stay at Manu Villas was absolutely exquisite. If there is anything remotely like it elsewhere in Costa Rica I would be surprised. The setting, the facilities, the privacy, the ambiance, the food, the owners'attention to our comfort and details are beyond compare and all the superlatives I can think of fall miles short. Quite simply a place to go... More

Alex and Grace were amazing hosts. Their Balinese style houses are peaceful and zen-like. I spent all morning watching the hummingbirds buzzing over the pool. Grace is the best cook in Central America! More

We got in at night and were completely amazed by the view when we woke up. These all wood balinese style villas are in a nice lush jungly setting. They have amazing views from... More
