UNBELIEVABLE Ocean and Jungle Views! Luxury Home in the Jungle!

The view was absolutely stunning. The housekeeping and laundry were fabulous. Maria was responsive when we had a few issues. We enjoyed our stay and the view and the wildlife very much. However, some aspects of the house could use some updating (plumbing fixtures, shower drainage issues, light switches, ceiling fans, gas range). It is a lovely home with an amazing view and a great location (although the hill is steep) so I gave it 4 stars but the many updates needed really made it more of a 3 star stay with a 5 star view.

Incredible host and concierge. Awesome house with killer view

This Villa was the best. We were three couples and had plenty of room. The pool was awesome and the sitting area was huge and very comfortable. The owner was very responsive as well as the concierge. Maria was fabulous and any questions we had. She was always quick to help us out. The housekeeping was also a plus. We had lots of visits from the local monkeys. Would absolutely recommend this Villa to anyone who just wants to enjoy being out in the wild but with all the luxuries

The pictures of this home do not do it justice - I was speechless when Maria let us in the front door. The view of the pool overlooking the jungle overlooking the Pacific is STUNNING. The house was clean and had every amenity we could ask for. The house itself doesn't have AC, but the bedrooms do and stayed plenty cold. The house is in the middle of the forest, and you feel like you are staying in a huge glass treehouse. We saw monkeys, beautiful birds, and other wildlife daily. I will say this house might not be the best for young children as there is a steep drop off the deck, and the railing might allow toddlers/young children to slip through. The house manager/concierge Maria is OUTSTANDING. Her service was impeccable, and she booked us on outstanding outings. She made everything super easy and seamless. We will be back!

If you’re like us and you’re visiting CR to observe wildlife this property is a great choice. From the comfort of the pool we were entertained daily by three types of monkeys. With a little time and effort we saw many birds including hummingbirds, toucans and macaws. Lots of geckos, a red-eyed tree frog and even a pigmy boa. If you prefer to have a barrier between you and the wildlife the house has many huge windows overlooking the jungle. The house is very attractive, clean and close to everything. More than enough space and privacy for a couple of families/couples. The overall process regarding check-in, staff and check out was professional and well organized. **There is a very steep hill leading down to the parking area. If you have a van for transportation to & from the airport or excursions they will not come down the hill as there is no room for a larger vehicle to turn around. We had a rental car so we transferred our luggage from the van to the car and then drove down the hill. For excursion pick up we walked up the hill to meet the van. So plan accordingly. I’m writing this review from the pool/patio area which is also very spacious and the view is outstanding! I highly recommend this property and would love to come back!

Perfect in every way. Great monkey action, 3 of the 4 monkey types in CR made daily appearances. And the addition of an aguti. It was comfortable inside and out.

The space was excellent for all. The pool was fun and the monkeys and a sloth were regular visitors so we had to be vigilant of the outdoor space. We used a private chef for one dinner and it was over the top excellent. The concierge Maria made excellent arrangements for our transportation (highly recommend Willie who did almost all of our transportation from airport, La Fortuna and Monteverde.) Having someone to clean and do laundry left us more time to enjoy Costa Rica.

10 of us just finished an awesome vacation at this residence! Stayed for 8 days. Location was for excursions and beach. Great restaurants nearby and we did have a chef come in for 2 dinners who cooked awesome meals. All of the house staff were great and helped with anything we needed. We had all 3 types of monkeys stop by for daily visits and saw many birds from the balconies. I would recommend this house to anyone. The only advice I would give is to rent a 6 cylinder 4x4 for driving in the area.

This place was perfect for our family of 8 adults and one 4-year-old child.One of our group uses a wheelchair and although the driveway was very steep, we could park at the bottom and roll a smooth sidewalk to the place. The home is very large with big spaces between large pieces of furniture, meaning my husband could transfer to a comfortable chair or find easy space for his wheelchair. The main floor master bedroom (and all other bedrooms) connected to a shower large enough to wheel his chair in for showering. The layout was perfect for small groups, large meals and bedroom privacy. Our concierge, Maria, was very attentive without being smothering. Mariela did wonderful daily cleaning. We loved the place and would stay again Caveat -- the pool is not enclosed and the stair rails have large gaps. Our four-year-old was no problem, but this access should be taken into account with wilder children. Chef Marco and his assistant Laura prepared a wonderful welcome dinner for us!

The front patio of Casa Mono Congo was a show-stopper with its amazing view of the ocean and lush jungle from the patio pool, which we spent a lot of time in just enjoying the view. The communication with Maria was so helpful as she was able to secure reservations for us, including a chef who made us an amazing dinner. We were able to enjoy the outdoors in the main living area while cooling down with the air conditioned bedrooms at night. The maid and laundry service was wonderful. The monkeys were a sight to see as they came to visit every day. We even saw a toucan and a pair of macaws flying overhead. Really an amazing place to stay!

The concierge was incredible! Maria was always helpful and responsive to any of our needs. Cannot say enough about her! The house was perfect for our vacation. The only complaint Is that we scheduled ourselves too much to just take a day to relax at the house. Next time we will not make the same mistake.
