"Really great place. Amazing pool our kids loved. Dominicalito beach short walk. Lots of animals. Short ride to cool waterfall. Convenient to Uvita. House had everything we needed . Thanks so much."

"We stayed on short notice with Tracy and team being great to work with. Very nice upgrades have been made and the outdoor sitting, lounging and grilling areas are outstanding additions since we stayed prior. Saw plenty of wildlife including two kinds of monkeys. Would definitely stay again in the future!"

"Great location to relax and spend time as a family."

"Nice property just just minutes up the hill from Uvita. We had rented a Rave 4 and spent a few days in Santa Teresa and Arenal before going to Uvita. Got a message from Andrea saying to make sure our vehicle had a 4 wheel drive button or it wouldn't make it up the hill. Decided to change vehicles to a Toyata Land Cruiser Prado. Good thing we did. Not sure the Rave 4 would have made it up the hill! Excellent property, very private, and a great Ocean view. Loren, the property manager, was very...

"This house. Wow. It’s a beautiful house, but on top of that we saw SO many animals - monkeys galore (capuchin and howler), toucans, macaws, and many other beautiful birds. Fair warning though: With the rainforest literally in your backyard, you will hear lots of animals sounds. Howler monkeys scared us to death the first night until we realized what it was. It made the stay there all the more memorable! The owner and manager were both wonderful. Communication was great. We also loved the...

"A beautiful property to stay at. Comfortable beds, great layout, gorgeous patio and pool. A nice breakfast place within walking distance. Concierge was a huge plus! "

"This house was amazing for our Costa Rica trip! Groups of monkeys passed through the treetops everyday, so nonstop entertainment for a family from the US. The house was also spacious with air conditioned bedrooms. Its location in Manuel Antonio was perfect. You can walk to the restaurants, shops, grocery store and beach. Walking is a bit difficult with the tiny roads and hills, but doable. I would recommend renting a 4 wheel drive so you can drive to Espadilla Beach, which was much easier...

"Nice home with a large upper deck patio in a jungle setting. Pool is nice and Wai the property manager was very helpful and set up several day trips."

"Beautiful villa, amazing views, and everything you could ever need. Wonderful property manager, with quick responses to any inquiry. Cathleen at Explore Uvita was incredibly helpful, and knowledgable, organizing fun excursions for us. Villa is very clean, and in a perfect location- close to Uvita, Playa Hermosa and Dominical. This is our second time staying at this property, and we will definitely be back again!"

"Everything was as described. It was clean and had everything we needed. The beach was close and the view was spectacular."

"Spent three nights in Manuel Antonio with our three boys (all under 9). Spacious home with amazing views of both mountains and the Pacific. Neighboring Macaws were fun to watch over morning coffee. Close to everything you need. Host was great with communication and with recommending and organizing excursions, as well!"

"My wife and I love this area of Costa Rica and planned to return to enjoy a week of surfing, waterfalls, beaches and all the Costa Rica has to offer. We found Ballena Royale in our search and could not have been happier with the villa, the location or the service. We were contacted by the property manager a week before check in and arranged to meet the day of our arrival to show us the villa. He was in communication with us during the day and it made it easy to find and get checked in. The...
