Exceptional private apartment. It had everything we needed and then some. Location over a restaurant made for convenient dining and a feeling of family as we shared greetings every day. We were three adults staying here for five nights. Wish it had been longer. Beach across the street was marvelous, clean, friendly. We felt we were in the heart of Manuel Antonio—we could sit on the balcony and people watch, or go inside and not hear a bit of it. Josue took exceptional care to stay in touch with us and arranged excursions that we had not prebooked with Raul. Lots to do here and nearby with multiple tours that pick up at hotels and here. Don’t know how this experience could be improved upon. Pura Vida!

Fun, vibrant, friendly

We had an amazing time at the elephant Castle. The location is right in the hussle and bustle in front of the beach (which we loved), and walking distance from the park. We were well taken care of at every step—our concierge helped plan excursions and gave us tips. Thank you! We would definitely stay again.

This place is amazing! We were a little concerned when we first drove up (accosted by people trying to sell you things from every direction) but that melted away as soon as we entered the apartment. It was incredible. Comfortable, clean, quiet despite being on the beachfront and above a restaurant. And we were so well looked after by the host and the people he introduced us to - the restaurant downstairs, Paolo the surf guy and José the beach chair guy. We also soon realised that the street sellers will actually leave you alone if you say no, so the area felt very safe. The hosts were really helpful with arranging tours as well, although being walking distance to the National Park is a bonus! We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Manuel Antonio (which we hope to do - our stay was too short)

So Much More Than Expected

This was one of the best experiences of our trip to Costa Rica. The location of the unit was perfect. A few short steps from the beach, above a delicious restaurant, Baldi’s Fresh, walking distance from the park. The unit itself was clean, beautiful and well equipped. All that said, the best part of this experience was the wonderfully friendly and helpful people. Raul, the concierge, Josue the host, could not have been more helpful, friendly or accessible. Then there was Pablo. Pablo runs a surf school and keeps his supplies near the condo. He was a delight. He offered a great deal of information, suggestions and joy to our trip. We took a great surf lesson from him. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!!!! I would not change a single thing!

Mini vacation

Very nice accommodations across the street from the beach, but from the photos provided it was assumed that the property was on the beach itself in an uncrowded area.
