Most magical place

I can’t say enough great things about this house and the manager. It was exactly like the pictures and more. Danny helped coordinate a private chef and all our excursions and transportation. It was such an amazing time and we felt taken care of our whole visit.

Outstanding!

This place is spacious, with shops and restaurants just a 2 minute walk, while still being secluded and private. The hot tub was definitely a plus. Lots of wildlife visits, and we found a sloth with a baby in the trees by the river, just a short walk away.If we weren’t sleeping, our entire group would be hanging out on the SPACIOUS patio, playing pool and ping pong, having drinks and snacks. Our host Danny, was responsive to any needs we had, but we didn’t need much. Completely satisfied!

Arenal Visit

Property was great the pools by the house are not pictured and really add value to the unit. Being in town was a huge plus as we could walk to restaurants, markets, and bakeries.

Beautiful, peaceful property close to everything

We loved our stay in this home. Pictures don’t do it justice. It was clean, peaceful, well-appointed. There’s a little river out behind the property that gets a lot of sloths in the summer. We had rain every day during our stay, so we didn’t get to hear any monkeys. We did see a few toucans and macaws flying by.We hired the chef to make us breakfast daily. We also used their tour office to help with transportation and activities. Everyone is so nice and accommodating. Then again, that’s everyone in Costa Rica!

Great place

We loved staying at Danny's place. The beds were nice. Showers were hot and the hot tub was super nice to come home to each evening. Danny was super responsive when we needed something. Location is good away from the hustle and bustle of la fortuna but it is 15 drive to town just like the listing says.

Great Stay in the La Fortuna Area

This was a big house with more than enough space for the six adults in our group. We especially loved the pool and hot tub, and we could see hummingbirds from the back porch in the morning. Table tennis was a hit with some people in our group as well, and the food at the restaurant on the property was good. The listing description is generally accurate, and we'd happily stay here again. But the house could use a little TLC (minor repairs) in places, and some brighter lighting, and the kitchen isn't especially well equipped (but we're a family that likes to cook in).

Great house for family time

The property owner was helpful and communicative. Our kids absolutely loved the hot tub and pools. We also appreciated having air conditioning and hot water for showers. It was about 15 minutes from the downtown la Fortuna area. It was only a couple minutes walk to a nearby grocery store and bakery. There’s a restaurant right next door too.

Excellent experience!

Danny, the host, was nothing less than amazing! The house was so big and beautiful, views of the jungle from all angles! The private pool was perfect at the end of a hot day! There is literally a restaurant in front of the property with the most delicious authentic food. Danny could not have been more helpful, he arranged transportation for us a couple of times, and saved us so much stress. He is great with communication, quick to reply. I can’t speak highly enough of our experience! Can’t wait to visit again! Thank you!

Absolutely Perfect

I considered not booking this place because we ended up only being 8 and it accommodated way more but I kept it and I am so glad I did! It was clean and the perfect place to hang at the end of a day of touring or early in the morning before you start your day. The kids enjoyed the river and finding frogs and critters. The pools and Hot tub were enjoyed by kids and adults alike! Restaurants within walking distance as well as a market and pizzeria. Location was great. Just a short 15 minute drive to La Fortuna where many of the tours start and works with a local vacation planner to help with the endless things to do there. Fabulous vacation can not wait to go back!!

Magical stay in Manuel Antonio!

Our group of 11 absolutely loved our stay at Villa Tortuga. The host, Jackie, was very communicative and checking in was a breeze. Everything inside and out was beautiful and clean. It truly felt like a luxury resort! Plenty of space for everyone to gather together for dinner or playing games, and a unique multi-level layout to give privacy as well. The property is well-equipped with A/C, an amazing chef's kitchen, and tons of towels.The location is spectacular with a stunning view of the ocean, and close to shops and restaurants. There was wildlife everywhere -- little anoles flitting about the property at night, sounds of monkeys calling to each other, and toucans flying right in front of the huge picture window! The kids had a blast playing in the pool and the adults loved getting massages and hanging out on the huge covered outdoor patio. Of course, all the other reviews are right -- the highlight of our stay was Chef Ricardo and his wife Alba making us amazing meals every day, even on Christmas! Our group is all vegetarian, and they were able to accommodate effortlessly. Every meal (breakfast and dinner) was delicious and unique, and they made a special Anniversary dinner one night as well. Not needing to cook (or clean!) kept us in vacation-mode our whole stay. They were wonderful company, and even allowed our 5 kids to "help" them make dinner one night, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed.If we are fortunate to return to Costa Rica, we would 100% stay here again!

Excellent Home and Stay

This is an outstanding place to stay. Everything was very clean, and the place is as advertised. There are 2 rooms on the bottom floor (with their own bathrooms). This area was great to give our teens some of their "own" space. We had 2 families with us, and there was plenty of space / beds for everyone. The pools were terrific (there is a newer infinity pool, kid pool and hot tub) - all were great to have right there at the house. Then there is a larger, shared pool that is down below (a little walk away). Danny was very responsive to any of our questions. We utilized Antioneta to help us book some of the excursions. She was TERRIFIC and is very connected. She was able to set up some outstanding excursions. Everyone was very happy with all of them (hikes, hanging bridges, hot springs, zip lining, white water rafting, canyoning). Also, the restaurant right next door was very good (some of the best chicken we have had), and they would bring our orders right to the house. We also had a private chef come in and prepare a meal one evening (Antonieta set that up). I would highly recommend this property. Thank you, Danny and Antonieta!!

Lush, scenic setting

Highlights are the new private pools and hot tub and the upstairs deck overlooking the gorgeous grounds. House is spacious, and convenient to restaraunts, bank, and stores. Danny was very helpful and gracious. He was readily available and even showed us around the scenic property. There were musty and other odors, opening the house doors and windows helped. The ac in the bedrooms worked great and also helped with this. Big kitchen with plenty of dishes, glasses, etc., could benefit with a couple extras like a toaster and colander. Limited condiments and staple items, but grocery store only a block or two away. Bathrooms had body soap, but no shampoo or conditioner. We may have been able to ask for some, but within our group we had enough to go around. No hot water from sink faucets (apparently not uncommon for Costa Rican homes) so we boiled water for washing dishes. Laundry facilities were helpful to have.

Family Vacation in the Jungle

We were looking to stay in the La Fortuna area and stayed at the property from 5/24 - 5/27 with a family of six because of it's unique location and layout. It was a perfect spot to hang out between excursions to the Arenal Waterfall and surrounding natural spots. The property is expansive and has wonderful meticulate landscaping. Lots of birds and wildlife all around. There is even a creek that runs through the property with trails for evening or morning walks. You truly feel like you're in the jungle. We spent most of our time in the upper pool, which was the perfect temperature for soaking through the jungle heat. Can't say enough about the pool! Each room has air conditioning, which provides relief from the sometimes intense heat and humidity outside. Be sure to watch the video Danny provided to access the property, as it's tucked behind a restaurant and a little tricky to find. The roads are a little scary to navigate and the place comes up on you fast. Also, we ate at the restaurant next door one evening and the food was excellent and much cheaper than tourist locations in La Fortuna. In retrospect, we should have eaten there each night. It's a great spot for a family, with the pool table and ping pong table on the patio. It's off the beaten path a little, but that was exactly what we were looking for. *Note: If you are coming from Liberia at night, consider driving the route that does not go around Lake Arenal as the road is narrow, and very windy.

Great House!

The location of this house is perfect - it's only a 15-minute drive from the hustle and bustle of La Fortuna. We had tons of privacy for 8 adults and 3 children to celebrate the holidays and a retirement. The hot tub and pool were great after a day out and about, plus the grounds are lovely! Danny kept in touch with us throughout our entire week stay to make sure we had everything we needed, plus more! We were also put in touch with tour organizers and a private chef for wonderful meals. The restaurants in town are so delicious and Pollo Chachagua will deliver plated food right to your front door! The bakery, sodas and shops in the small town were all wonderful. :) Just a few things to note: The two downstairs rooms are accessible that way only - each has an en suite bath and one of them opens up to the pool area. The other room/bathroom has a few "screens" only so they hear all the noise. Better lighting, a nightstand here and there, some lamps and storage for the downstairs baths would be great. Otherwise, we had a wonderful time at the Green Forest Villa!

Great place

We stayed with our family friends. It is a nice place to hang out with big group. The description of the property can be updated to state there are bedrooms downstairs. We booked this property thinking it was all in one flloor. It was not an issue but could have been nice. The communication with property manager throughout our stay was good. He send a video walked of the property and details which was helpful. The bathroom flooded during our stay on the last night which they could not handled differently but other than that it was good.

très bien pour les gros groupe

Nous étions jusqu'à 15 et nous avons beaucoup apprécié. Beaucoup d'espace et de lits. Belles piscines. Possiblement une petite cuisine (avec quelques insectes - c'est normal pour l'endroit) si vous voulez cuisinez en groupe - il faudra vous ramassez à mesure. Je recommende.
