Living with a million dollar view
My 3 siblings with our spouses spent 8 days at Casa Cristal and the Villa made a great vacation outstanding. The initial entry shows a magnificent view of the Pacific from Manuel Antonio almost to Quepos. The spacious 4/5 bedrooms were more than enough for our 8 people and the kitchen/living and upstairs grill area provided space for all of us to spread out. While the facilities were great, what really made our stay was the people. The maid took care of all the housekeeping including washing all our clothes, the chefs we hired made outstanding meals and the best was the host --- who took care of every single desire and need, extremely promptly. It was a holiday we will never forget and we DO plan to come back to this place.

Very nice
Beautiful house and view! Chef was great! Cleaner worked really hard and was there for about 6 hours each day. Manager was very receptive. A little strange that there were several security cameras throughout the house. I just unplugged the one in master bedroom and moved the angles at the a few others so they weren’t pointed at us. I assume it was to monitor the property but just thought it was unusual. Overall a wonderful place to stay and I’m happy we booked it. I would recommend 4 wheel drive if you want to drive up and down the hill to the beach.

The house & views were even better than we imagined! We loved that of the 3 master bedrooms, 1 was on the main floor with the kitchen and living area so no steps for us grandparents! Downstairs were 2 more masters, a set of bunkbeds (not in a bedroom). Then when you go out the master to the balcony, you can go over to the "apartment" that was a bedroom with 2 beds and a private bath. The kitchen had everything you could think of! We loved cooking while enjoying the ocean views. The street down to the house was extremely narrow and bumpy! It's only a 10 minute walk DOWN to the beach. The hike back UP to the house is definitely a hike! We ended up catching a taxi on the beach to get us back to the house. The housekeeper was a treasure! Not only did she clean all day, every day, she also did our laundry! What a treat to come in & have our clean laundry folded & waiting for us! Now to the REAL treasure, Alex the Host! He handled everything for us including making sure we had dinner and groceries for breakfast when our flight got delayed & we didn't make it in until late the first night. He handled all of our tours for us including letting us know when they would pick us up & what the cost was. Each time I had a question I would reach out to him and within minutes he would get back to me. The pool was fabulous! It looks out over the ocean & has a swim up bar & barstools! There is construction going on across the street so we heard trucks going in & out but wasn't a big deal.
