Roof Top Deck with Huge Views, 3 Pools, Chef Included, Game Room, Monkeys

Our holiday trip for 20 family members, ages 4 - 73 was outstanding! From the first booking interaction with David our very responsive host, our phenomenal chef Jorge and Kim, our efficient maid service and tips from Valerie. The house exceeded our needs in every way possible. If there was an issue or question David responded immediately and offered us some great tips even for our drive back to the airport.Chef Jorge and Kim were delightful, food was always plentiful, delicious and on time. Offered us suggestions for menu selection items and navigated food order and delivery when we decided to be on our own. I initially thought we’d only use their service for a few meals but were we wrong! We loved everything about them as a team. It made our time together so much more enjoyable and fun not to have to worry about shopping, cooking and cleaning up at meals. Our family had the opportunity to spend more time together, which was our goal. The maid service was also impeccable- everyday they worked around our large family and all their personal items- thank you! We highly recommend this property, Casa De La Brisas, host David, Chef Jorge and Kim, Valerie and maid service! What a dynamic team, thank you for making our visit to your beautiful country, Costa Rica full of memories.

Our family group of 6 adults and 3 children 5,6 and 8 had one of our best family vacations ever.The house is large enough that every couple had a lovely private bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The pools were wonderful; the children loved the outside pools. Before dinner and morning coffee we all enjoyed the top deck immensely. The housekeeping was meticulous, the rooms were very clean. David, the manager, did a great job of recommending drivers and/or excursions, and responded to our questions and needs promptly . We loved our in house chef Haido aka Choco. His food was delicious and pleased all 6 adults. We had breakfasts and dinners. We felt the pricing for groceries was very fair. He would come about an hour before we wanted to eat, prepare the meal we had chosen, and then clear and leave us a spotless kitchen. The house is nicely located within walking distance of Manuel Antonio for shopping, zip lining, and restaurants. The beautiful beach is a five minute taxi ride. It was a wonderful week and we highly recommend the house and chef Haido.

We all had an amazing experience.

We had a wonderful stay. We had 24 people in our party. A few hiccups with A/c, but were quickly resolved. Valerie was amazing setting things up before we arrived. Carlos was great about getting us anything we needed. And I cannot say enough about Chef Hairo. Not only was his food delicious but he is a delightful person. We had an amazing time!

Absolutely wonderful stay at this in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica! Serene atmosphere with ocean view and an abundance of animal sights including sloths, monkeys and beautiful birds. Valerie, David the chefs, and all the tour guides on our outings were exceptional - attentive, friendly, and accommodating. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a relaxing and enjoyable getaway in Costa Rica!

Valerie, our concierge, arranged every detail from our unending questions pre-arrival to our activities that went flawlessly. David, our host, was always available for any needs. He was very knowledgeable, helpful, and extremely nice. Our chef, Junior, and his assistant, David, were phenomenal. Every day they went above and beyond to spoil us and meet our needs with professionalism, kindness and humor. Love you guys! Housekeepers were amazing, and worked so hard with our group of 17! Finally, the villa was beautiful, comfortable, spotless, and very spacious. Vacation of a lifetime! Thank you all so very much!

Amazing

We had a very large group and everyone had a great time. Pros of this property - the chef (He was fantastic and the food was so good), maid services was great, separate bedrooms/bathrooms with privacy, view from the upper pool, proximity to the beach, concierge service was very good and responsive. Cons - The lower larger pool is a little cold because it never receives any direct sunlight. We barely used it because the ocean is warmer. Parking was a little tricky for our numerous cars.. No sound system for a little music at either pool. We would absolutely stay again as the overall experience was great.

We were a group of 18 friends getting together for the first time in a few years, and had an amazing time at Casa de las Brisas. The space was perfect for 18 adults -- plenty of space to spread out, as well as lots of great options for socializing (either of the larger pools, the large sitting area, and the rooftop decks were the favorites). Chef Hairo and his assistant, as well as the bartender were really attentive and thoughtful. Food was excellent. They managed a pineapple allergy with one of our guests so that it was pretty much issue free. Lots of great seafood and fresh vegetables and fruits made every meal a treat. There was a lot of variety throughout the week, though we did return to a couple favorites (nightly ceviche, for example). Chef was really flexible with timelines (we at was early as 6 and as late as 9:30 for breakfast, and dinners were anywhere from 6:30 to 8 -- all without issue, and with great reviews from our friends). Housekeeping was fantastic -- and given how much time we spent at the house, they must have been very efficient! We hardly saw them, though all three housekeepers were friendly and attentive. The host Daniel was great and responsive -- we had one small issue which he resolved within an hour, and he was able to make a few last minute adjustments to our itinerary as we updated activities. The location is ideal -- walkable to restaurants, bars, ATMs, pharmacy, and even the beach if you don't mind a bit of a steep climb back up! Lots of stairs, but honestly not an issue. From the balconies and rooms we saw quite a bit of wildlife (macaws, howler monkeys, capuchin monkeys, an armadillo, frogs, numerous other birds and a toucan). I would only make two suggestions for improvements -- the lighting design around the exterior is not great. It's overly bright upstairs near the outer pool or too dark, with few options to adjust lighting to accentuate the scenery without being overly bright or just in the dark. The largest pool and lower deck were too dark to really use at night, which is unfortunate because the setting is beautiful -- you just can't see any of it after about 6:30 pm. It doesn't need a lot, but some nicer lighting around the lower deck and pool would go a long way. Same thing with the rooftop deck which has just one overhead light. The other suggestion I'd make would be a little more pool attention -- maybe daily instead of occasional cleanings.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Casa de las Brisas. Our large extended family had plenty of space with the rooms spread throughout the villa offering privacy to all. The flora and fauna were spectacular. Our trip was especially pleasant by having a great chef and sous chef who planned our meals paying attention to individual needs and making the birthday dinner particularly festive. Thank you
