"I must say we had the most amazing time at Villa Perezoso.  It couldn't have been more perfect.  We're still talking about how amazing our stay was.  Victor and Over were awesome and we can't wait to go back.  We definitely are planning to make another trip with a second couple next year.   There's not a day since we've been back that we haven't wished we were still there.  All the tours Victor arranged were perfect and despite the weather we had an excellent time.  Thanks again for recommending the white water rafting! It and the fishing were the highlight tours of our entire trip!  We will definitely be posting a review on Trip Advisor!  Thanks again and we look forward to our stay with y'all again next year." Chris H., Alexandria, LA (May '10)

"My wife spent many hours researching the best villa in Costa Rica and we found it!  This was the perfect place for my wife and I and our 3 children and spouses. We had a fabulous week and Victor, the house manager, steered us in all the right directions.  We loved every activity, canopy zip lines, white water rafting, boating on the ocean and the Park.  The Villa was the perfect gathering place at the end of the day--private, spacious, perfect amenities and a beautiful design.  Our kids were just blown away by it all and can't wait to return.  Of couse, we may leave them at home next time and spend a romantic week by ourselves! The Penthouse would work perfectly.Chef Over was fantastic. He has a great personality and each meal was a delight. We wanted to take him home! Thanks for sharing your amazing home and beautiful country with our family." Lew L., Dallas, TX (May '09)

"This has been a truly extraordinary week. Being able to let go all responsibility and fall into your graciousness has been a gift. We have had so much fun laughing and being together..we barely left the house. My usuallly adventurous spirit was so calmed that I was happy to be here at Villa Perezoso reading on the deck and plyaing cards and eating great food. I have never felt so taken care of! Victor and Over's attention to detail is incredible and the house is beautiful. Gracias! Gracias! Gracias! I am sitting her trying to figure out how soon I can come back! Perfecto!  Elizabeth K., Seattle, WA (Nov '09)

"When we reserved Villa Perezoso for this week, we had no idea what an incredible time it would be. Truly, all aspects of our stay could not have been better, from the food and drink to the bedrooms and activities. This place is paradise---we will have lifelong memories from our time here. We look forward to another future stay in Villa Perezoso."  Betsy & Jimmy H., Mobile, AL (Dec 09)

"What an amazing trip! This house is A+--a perfect place to unwind. The attention to detail made the vacation a true home away from home. I could get used to this life...The house location, accessible and private surroundings, where else do we see monkeys playing, sloths chilling while we are 20 yards away in the Villa pool? Service--impeccable. You have assembled an amazing team, starting with Victor, the house manager. He immediately felt like a friend. Over, the chef and Cecelia were icing on the tres leches cake. Thanks so much for everything."  Tish D., Austin, TX (Dec 09)

 "From the bottom of our heart, thank you for a remarkable week in your beautiful country. My wife, the boys and I had one of the best vacations of our lives. Everything about it was perfect.  Without Victor, the house manager's help and insight, we never would have done any of the wonderful adventures we undertook. His thoughtfulness and concern with our son's 1st day sunburn helped a bad situation be a short one. Victor is a consummate host with a genuine spirit. Over, the chef's cooking skills were only surpassed by his personality. Every course of every meal was a memorable experience. We felt pampered to the point of being spoiled. The housekeeper's hard work in cleaning up after us made us feel like we were staying in a new, spotless villa every day. I travel to every corner of the world for many years on business trips. My wife and I have vacationed in Asia, Europe, Mexico and North America. But nothing, truly nothing, compares to the beauty, quality, joy and first class service we enjoyed at Villa Perezoso. I will recommend it to everyone I know but.....save another week for us!" Kevin C., Lake Geneva, IL (Mar '09)

"Villa Perezoso is the perfect getaway. The house is fantastic. No details seemed to have been left-out. The bedrooms and bathrooms are fabulous and the furnishings beautiful. The house is kept spotless, and never had an issue with the creepy crawlers associated with tropical climates. Nothing beats taking a shower with the rainforest as one of your walls. The view is crazy! The sun comes-up early for great pool-side lounging, and a head-start for us sun worshipers. In the early evening, we returned from the beach or an excursion, and enjoyed watching the monkeys play in the nearby trees while taking a dip in the pool and enjoying delicious hors-d'oeuvres created by Over. No need to go out for dinner when you have a talented chef like Over. I suggest letting him choose what to serve..you will never be dissapointed. The tres leches cake is to die for!  Victor was a perfect host and all of his suggestions were right-on. All the staff were engaging, and a pleasure to interact with. Absorb the culture and skip the cab. Walk or take the bus down the hill to the beach or to Quepos. Oh yeah, the people of Costa Rica are forgiving and friendly. It was a delight to discover a small part of Costa Rica, and spend time at Villa Perezoso. Thanks to all the staff at Villa Perezoso." Mitch S. San Jose, CA (Aug. '09)

"A brilliant combination of the luxury, amenities and service of a high end resort and the intimacy and personal touch of, what feels for your stay, like your very own villa in the tropics." Nick and Gillian K-Calistoga, CA (Nov '08)

"Hotel Belvedere at Lake Como was the most beautiful on earth until I came to Villa Perezoso! Making monkey, sloth and toucan friends right outside my very window. The beauty of the water and nature is of course beyond compare, but Victor and Over's grand service with a smile ensures that paradise is here on Earth. Thank you." Tina M.-S.F., CA (Feb '09)

"We loved our 5 days at your villa!! Leaving is the worst part. Some of our favorite memories are: our surfing lesson with Victor, Over's tasty and beautifully prepared meals, our candlelight dinner, using the hot tub on the sundeck and pool, towels folded into beautiful shapes everyday, seeing lizards and frogs, board games, having wireless internet, the views, and many more. Staying at the Villa mad our Costa Rica vacation one of our favorites. The staff makes a great team and we hope to come back in the future".  Zack and Kristin, Palo Alto, CA (Oct '09)

"Villa Perezoso is a spectacular luxury home. Victor, the house manager and the property's personal butler, showed it to me and some clients on Saturday and I fell in love it. Its design and luxurious décor are exactly what our clients look for in a rental home".

"Our stay at Villa Perezoso was epic! From the accommodations, to the meals, to the staff, to the view, it was an experience to never forget. I hope to return as soon as God allows. My deepest thanks and blessings to everyone that had a hand in our time there."  Zachary Levi- Los Angeles, CA (Dec '08)

“There are not too many places on Earth that you can be plopped down in the middle of a jungle, amazed with the wonderment of monkeys, sloths, toucans, iguanas and various other exotic animals climbing and flying around you , and also enjoy the amenities of a hot shower, multi-course amazing meals and spa treatments etc. I simply did not want to leave. Absolutely wonderful. I was so pleased with the beach, the many available excursions, the wonderfully friendly Costa Rican people and at the end of the day came home to a top notch Villa staffed with accommodating and friendly people and amenities of any Western hotel..cell phone reception, satellite TV and internet access. Simply terrific."

"After living and working here in Manuel Antonio for more than 12 years, I am rarely speechless when I have the opportunity to view a new home or development in the area.  Villa Perezoso left me speechless.  This luxury estate does a miraculous job of blending the breathtaking natural backdrop and postcard views of Manuel Antonio National Park with an impeccable interior space that makes leaving the home feel sinful.  The Balinese design takes your breath away from the moment you enter the home and everywhere your eye wanders you are struck with an ornate detail and appointments which fill the house with sense of serenity which is what truly defines the Costa Rican experience.  The completion of such an elaborate home and interior design is no small feat, and the experience which those lucky enough to enjoy the home as a rental will be nothing short of spectacular.  As a real estate professional in the area, there are many homes and accommodations options, but the Villa Perezoso will certainly be one of the top on our list for clients looking for a unique experience and I can only hope I am lucky enough to spend a few days there myself!"        Scott, 2Costa Rica Real Estate

"I went with high expectations and I was NOT disappointed. The property is magnificent. The service perfect. The country and people warm friendly. Paradise in every way..."
Chris J -San Jose, CA (Nov. '08)

"We had a magical vacation at this very beautiful villa.  It is a magnificent and special place. The home itself is tasteful, warm, and beautiful.  It is a paradise unto itself.  The area is exotic, interesting, and so fun!  There was something for everyone in all age groups.  Canopy tours, white water rafting (the favorite) and ample night life.  I cannot say enough about the incredible staff.  We loved the house manager and personal butler Victor, and the talented and friendly chef Over (ask him to make the tres leche cake!).  Victor set up our tours and gave us invaluable advice on what would be best to see and do.  He helped us with so many different things we could never name them all! 

We stayed with my brother and family and rented the whole villa.  It is the perfect place for a family(s) to vacation together.  There was ample room for everyone, with every room decorated beautifully with equally wonderful views.  We have teenage and adult children and they loved the monkeys and sloths outside the trees (so did we).  The amenities in the villa are over the top terrific and the owners have thought of every tiny detail to make the stay even more perfect.  We are thrilled to have found this place and to have had such a great experience creating memories we will share forever. If we are ever lucky enough to return, we will definitely want to stay at Villa Perezoso again". Lynn H.-Geneva, IL (Nov. '08)

"We had an absolute blast at Villa Perezoso.  My wife and I both loved what you have done with the property.  By far, the best place we’ve stayed.  Victor and Over were awesome.  Victor made sure we had everything we needed and gave us local pointers.  Over was phenomenal—we just let him make the menu—we gave him guidelines and them let him do what he does best.  We were able to eat pretty healthy that way and the food was awesome. Thank you." Robert S-San Diego, CA (Jan. '09)

"My experience at Villa Perezoso can be described as absolute bliss. This is the place you NEED TO GO for that perfect getaway. The view from the deck is stellar, the food was outstanding and the house manager took care of everything. The floor plan allows for plenty of space for guests, in our case (a group of 10 women) and was the ideal setting for a landmark birthday celebration. For those who need to stay connected, the house is fully hardwired and many of us enjoyed communicating with our loved ones from the patios of our Balinese chaise lounges. All in all, the perfect merging of Eastern and Western values with the basic manana factor threaded in to remind you of why you need to take more vacations. " Teresa M.-Larkspur, CA (Feb. '09)

"Our stay here was one of the best vacations we've ever had. Costa Rica was as wonderful the second time around as it was the first.  The accommodations, service and Over's "restaurant" are all six diamonds!"  Greg K.-San Jose, CA (Jan. '09)

"Villa Perezoso has been absolutely spectacular. The attention to detail in every item is amazing.  A big thanks to Victor for handling all the small detials of our trip, behind the scenes, that made our stay so enjoyable.  Each adventure, day trip were carefully orchestrated with expertise and suave.  The calm Over, the great chef, exudes in the kitchen is admirable.  The presentation fabulous but mostly the careful preparation and love put into each dish was much appreciated. Thank you!" Toni V.- Willow, Glen, CA (Feb. '09)

"Wowie, wow, wow! We have been pampered beyond words. It has been a vacation beyond compare--what a beautiful home, so beautifully furnished a la balinese. Thank you for sharing it".  Allison S.- Healdsburg, CA (Feb. '09)

""Thank you for the most relaxing and worry free week in Costa Rica.  It was my first time in this beautiful country and I know there will be many more.  This location is everything you could ask for--the sun, the birds, the perezosos, the monkeys....all spectacular. The hospitality however is without equal. Pura Vida". Debra D., Novato- CA

"The villa is a heavenly place.  Victor's care and professionalism in taking care of your guests is splendid. He is a pro.  Over's food made me feel full, healthy, delighted and nurtured.  Thank you." Yildiz D.-Holmdale, NJ 

"Thank you for taking the time and effort to create and build a space which immediately gives all who enter its doors a sense of tranquility and light.  You have shared your gift with all of us, this absolute jewel of a place in Manuel Antonio, to be visited time and time again..." Priya K.- New York, NY (Mar '09)
