Casa Dolce Vita über dem Regenwald mit Panoramablick auf den Pazifik

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Dolce Villa, and it would be a 5 star review if we weren’t traveling with toddlers. However, the house has many flights of stairs, all of which are winding, and that made it a less than relaxing stay given that there always not an option for baby gates. That being said, the house, the views, the staff- 5 stars! Our concierge Carlos who helped us plan our stay was so easy to work with. Our property manager Sidney was the absolute best host- literally went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was the best it could be. He arranged taxis, reservations, outings, postage- name it and he did it in record time and always with a smile. And our chef Freddy was AMAZING- hire him and treat yourself to home cooked meals throughout the week. Not only is his food delicious, but he even bought birthday gifts for the kids in our group who had birthdays during our vacation! The villa itself is gorgeous and spotless. Beds are super comfortable and the money visits (twice a day) are a lot of fun. Without toddlers I say book it!

We loved our visit and stay at Casa Doce Vita. This was our 4th visit to the area and our favorite Casa to date. Everything was perfect as was our House Manager, Charlie! Will be booking again for March!

We had a great time. The property was great for our family (2 parents and 5 adult children). The pictures did not do it justice -- the property and the views were fantastic. The staff were great. Special shout out to Mina for keeping the place immaculate and to Gary for lining us up with wonderful activities. You will see monkeys and other wildlife up close. They added a unique and unforgettable element to our stay. Will stay here again when we return to Manuel Antonio.

House was perfect! Loved the view

From start to finish, this experience was top-notch. Lots of help with excursions and recommendations. Great open-air kitchen for hanging out, dinners, and games. I would not recommend it for folks with toddler-age children. Some openings under the decorative walls are straight drops from the third floor. However, if you're adulting, this is the jam.
