I just wanted to thank you again for all of your help with our rental of Casa Brisas. Manuel Antonio is a dream destination and I couldn't think of anything more perfect than Casa Brisas to accomodate all of us for the week. Shay was so helpful from the beginning with all of our questions about the area and nightlife. I wanted to also thank you for our amazing chef's Ernesto and Manuel who prepared us a delicious dinner with lots of local flavor.Not only is Ernesto a great chef but when out at night, he is a great dancer too! I hope that we will be able to visit your villa again and I just wanted to thank you all for your help assisting us over the week.

Just wanted to say thank you so very much for helping this big group have such a wonderful time in Costa Rica. I know it was not easy to get that many people taken care of but you did an amazing job and all of us had one of the most memorable experiences of our lives!! We will for sure be back soon--hopefully as soon as next year. I will be sure to recommend you to any of my friends and family who are looking to visit your beautiful country. Many thanks again and we'll see you again soon. Pura Vida!!!

I just wanted to drop you a line to say THANK YOU so much for all of your help while we were in Costa Rica. We have had SO many friends/family say that they want to stay at Dolce Vita after looking at the pictures, so we will try to send as much business your way as we can. I hope that you are enjoying the holiday season, and I hope that we can come back to Costa Rica SOON! Cheers and thanks again for everything,

I don’t think it’s possible to put into words what an experience this has been. Spending time with my family, going on new adventures every day, it was incredible. It is hard to adjust to a world where computers, telephones, and TV’s don’t overrun your life. But when you leave, you have discovered a sense of peace that can only be found by that disconnection. Costa Rica is unlike anywhere I have ever been. The waters are warm, the people friendly, the food delicious. It doesn’t get much better than that. I will miss waking up and seeing this beautiful view. I hope it is not too long before I can see it again. So for now….hasta luego Costa Rica.

When first booking our trip to Costa Rica, we did not know what to expect. We wanted our stay in Costa Rica to be a particularly memorable trip as it was also our honeymoon!! Imagine how excited we were when we arrived and the house was everything it was promised to be and more!! The view spectacular and the house is amazing. This was an amazing trip!

Please accept our thanks on behalf of all the Marcusons for a thoroughly wonderful vacation. From your outstanding security team to housekeeping to your fine administration of our every wish, it was a worry-free week. Until then - or our next visit to Costa Rica, sincere thanks.

Hey there Costa Rican visitors! Pretty cool to stay in this house. I was here with lots of friends. I would highly recommend to do less of the advertised: fishing and kayaking stuff and do hiking beach and things like that. Enjoy the sun, monkeys and everything about the house…the top room is the best! Have fun!!

The Woods family

This house is so amazing.  We were so lucky to find it.  Everything we saw and did was incredible! Surfing, whitewater rafting, horseback riding, canopy tour, and eating at Soda Coma Bien were our favorites! The whitewater rafting guide Leo was the best, at Rios Tropicales.

We had a great family vacation. The house was wonderful. The rafting, horseback riding and beaches were great. We enjoyed the pool daily. We were very lucky to have Jonathan cook for us during the week. The food was better than any restaurant. We will miss the people here, they are very nice.

The Teigel family

Costa Rica was delightsome. Everyday we watched the monkeys swing and leap from tree to tree up to the house. The monkey package was well worth the extra cost. The wildlife was amazing-iguanas, monkeys, hoggies, lizards. Whitewater rafting is a must do. The guides were great, especially the canopy guides and kayaking. In the words of comic book guy: “Best trip ever!”

The Abel family

All of our expectations were surpassed! We saw a sloth, 3 types of monkeys, mot mots, frogs, lizards and more - all in our own back yard!   Of course the weather here is great, and when we got a little warm, the pool out front was perfect. Relaxation is a given in this friendly environment. This has been the best vacation any of us ever had.

What can we say - wow!  Thank you for this amazing house. The views are unbelievable. We couldn't ask for a more perfect place to stay- possibly anywhere- for a fabulous vacation. The monkeys were phenomenal.

Breathtaking…if you could describe Casa Dolce Vita in one work, breathtaking would be it. Staying here was the most magnificent ending to the most wonderful vacation for my boyfriend and I. After seeing the fireworks of the Arenal volcanoes and thinking the Marriott resort was paradise, this surpasses all expectations. In my opinion, Dolce Vita and Manuel Antonio has been the best of Costa Rica. The view is exceptional. The monkeys are a treat.

The Walshes

A great week for all 3 generations: white water rafting, swimming and body surfing, and boogie boarding, cards, dominoes, eating and yes drinking, lots of talk, joking, bonding galore. Lots of monkeys seen from our villa and even a visit from a sloth. From 6 months old to 59 years we all had an awesome time and are looking forward to returning soon!

The Rogers family, Georgia

After reading many of the prior guests suggestions we tried them and concur. White water rafting was great along with the canopy tour. Dinner was great at Marluna and Karolas. Tons of monkeys were around while we were here but do not feed them we were told it could hurt them. Be careful of the sun-it is really strong and we all got burned the first day. Hope your vacation was as great as ours.

The Chatterton family

We love Costa Rica. We will be back to buy land or a house. White water rafting with H20 was excellent-the guides were very friendly and lots of fun. Canopy Safari was a big adventure for me. I was scared to death but always felt very safe. I’m glad I did it but won’t do it again. Stefan was great-a must. we love our vacation, love the house, hated the beds but who is here to sleep. Great vacation. Don’t miss the monkeys, they are soooooo cute!

The Carters

We had the most wonderful vacation; Manuel Antonio is like paradise. Our house was equal to a fantasy island. We enjoyed the pools, the large bedrooms, the bathrooms, but most of all we enjoyed the monkeys. We really hate to leave.
