The home is unique to Manuel Antonio because it can luxuriously accommodate a large group of people and is not a series of connected apartments. The architect and interior designer were specifically instructed to design a large, comfortable home that can sleep up to 20 people and can bring the residents closer to the natural world that surrounds the house. The original 2001, 3 bedroom house was expanded and renovated in 2005 to include 7 deluxe, air conditioned king/queen bedrooms, each with a tropical bath.
Located in the most prestigious neighborhood in Manuel Antonio, *and next door to its most famous spa* the home beautifully hosts small or large groups and is ideally suited for weddings, business retreats or family reunions. Upon entering the 1,500 foot “salon grande” you are greeted with views through the floor to ceiling windows of the famed Manuel Antonio national park and its 7 small islands nestled in the bay.
This vista is the backdrop to the outdoor waterfall swimming pool. The great room with 15 foot cathedral, teak ceilings has seating for up to 35 people. There is a home theater section (DVD/CD| with plush sofa and chairs for viewing or just relaxing. The owner’s private collection of over 100 films is available for your pleasure. The lovely dining room with a table and seating for 16 is perfect for hosting a special meal or gathering. For larger groups, an additional table and chairs are available to accommodate up to 30 people. Two master suites with king beds and a jacuzzi jetted tub are on this entry level, making it ideal for guests who require a wheel chair.
The huge game room with indoor, waterfall pool, regulation pool table, Foosball table, and a large wet bar is located on the next level down. Open the 10 foot high glass doors and step out onto the 1,000 sq. foot tiled terrace that adjoins the game room.
Located 30 feet above the jungle floor this beautiful patio is surrounded by gigantic trees that are frequently visited by the rich wildlife that Manuel Antonio is famed for, including 3 types of monkeys, over 100 species of birds, abundant butterflies and sloths. With comfortable seating for up to 28 people, and a dining table for 8 this is a great place for morning coffee or afternoon cocktails. On this level there is another king bedroom with a Jacuzzi bathroom and sleeper sofa.
A separate air conditioned guest house has its own balcony with spectacular ocean view and refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker.
The beautiful lower level has magnificent jungle views with two king, air conditioned bedrooms and baths. A large, fully covered, rocking chair balcony, fronts these two rooms and is serenaded by a trickling fountain. On the ground floor is the most romantic and private bedroom. It has stone walls, a sunken tub, TV and DVD player and beautiful rain forest views.

For an additional cost there is optional staff available to really spoil you. For either full or part time use are Roger, chef extraordinaire and a private chauffeur.
Costa Rica is one of the most biologically diverse countries in the world, a treasure house of flora and fauna unequaled in so small an area. Many travel writers have called Manuel Antonio the jewel of the country. You can walk among rain forest giants, see green turtles nesting, ogle the keel billed toucan, and hear the howler monkey. You can enjoy world class white water rafting, fish waters that hold international records, sun on deserted beaches, hike past multiple waterfalls, fly through the rain forest canopy on a zip line, or maybe you would prefer to just stay home and lounge around one of the pools, soaking in the magnificent views while sipping your favorite Costa Rican beverage, be it the famous coffee or a tropical fruit rum cooler brought to you by your chef.
Golf:
