Fantastic, Jungle hideaway with monkeys, sloths, and wildlife at your doorstep, and luxury inside

Everything about this place is pure relaxation and absolute heaven. As long as your children are over the age of 6, and can swim, this place is ideal. Toddlers won't survive, but our family had a fantastic time swimming, relaxing, viewing the wildlife and getting treated like royalty by our personal chef.

The most amazing getaway tucked away in the middle of the rainforest!

We’ve stayed at the Villa Mariana multiple times and it’s by far our favorite vacation. The house is tucked away in the middle of the rainforest with beautiful tropical plants and tons of wildlife! Villa Mariana won’t disappoint! The house is beautiful and pictures don’t even do it justice. It’s a must see!

Amazing wildlife and garden

We had a great family vacation, enjoyed by all ages from 14-75. Eco tours, zip lining, deep sea fishing arranged by Lenin were delightful. The staff kept the property in great condition. Chef Ana(and her staff ) is worth every cent- she introduced us to the local cuisine, cooking her favorite dishes and enthusiastically prepared the yellowfin tuna that was caught on the fishing trip. Anything we requested was prepared without hesitation.

Gorgeous house with recent refresh

This was a perfect home base for our two families with active teenagers. 9 of us and booking the guest house allowed everyone their own room and space to relax when we weren't out rafting, ziplining, surfing or exploring. Hiring the private chef was a luxury. The cleaning staff in particular kept the place in great shape, which is no small task with lots of teenagers - surrounded by monkeys - in the tropics.

Everything was great. Our kids loved it. Staff was great. The concierge was super helpful when planning and Lara also helped us when we were there. Chef Christopher was amazing and was awesome with our kids! We saw three different types of monkeys, sloths, toucans, and macaws, all from the pool. A nice walk to Quepos and the marina. 5 minute taxi to Manuel Antonio and beaches.

PERFECTO! A tropical oasis.

We had a group of 10 staying at Villa Mariana for our wedding. It was the most amazing experience ever. Chef Over made the most incredible meals. Flor cleaned and did our laundry so we could return with a suitcase full of clean clothes. Juan was so helpful around the house. He aired up the floats for the pool and helped out with anything we needed. The house is gorgeous. We had monkeys visit every morning. Rocky and Kyle, owners, are so involved in the entire experience. Hazel, concierge, was extremely helpful in organizing transportation. We couldn't have asked for a better trip. We are looking forward to coming back to Costa Rica! You won't be disappointed... book your trip immediately! PURA VIDA!

Beautiful property!

The Villa Mariana is simply wonderful. We traveled with 3 families totaling 16 guests. There was plenty of room for us to gather and to have private space when desired. The setting is amazing- the fauna incredible and the monkeys were very entertaining. The staff was amazing, especially Chef Ana and her assistant- they made traveling with a group of 16 soooo much better!! Not having to prepare meals OR do dishes/ cleanup- that was a true blessing to us! We had 5 adults and 11 ‘children’ of various ages from 9-20. Everyone was happy- our 10 year old has already asked when we will go back- he said that ‘our of all the places he has been, this is the best’. We greatly enjoyed the hike to the beach- it was a good hike, not for sedentary folks, but very worth it to experience more private beaches. We did quite a few excursions, but still had plenty of time to relax at the house. Cannot recommend it highly enough!

The Perfect House in the Jungle

Villa Mariana is an extraordinary property! The home itself is stunning, and the staff is incredible, keeping the house immaculate, the property well kept and the pool clean and warm. Christoph, along with his team, made the most amazing meals. From omelettes for breakfast to huge buffet dinners, we felt like we were dining in a 5* private restaurant. Hazel, the concierge, worked tirelessly to book cars, tours and a very special project we participated in. We didn't have to think or worry about a thing! The squirrel monkeys and sloth that visited the property just added to the magical ambiance. Please note that the main living areas don't have air conditioning and can be uncomfortably hot. Other than that one issue, we had a perfect week! Our advice: experience the Pura Vida of Mariana and JUST GO!

GREAT PLACE

We had a great time. The staff is truly incredible. The house could use a small face lift, the kitchen is pretty old and they need more silverware, fresh utensils, both for cooking and eating, etc. Bathrooms are up to date and so is rest of house. The water feature can be a bit dangerous if you aren't paying attention. Two of the 4 adults slipped and fell right outside the house on entrance to the pool. If you had smaller kids, I think you would worry. Ours are ages 9 and 12. The beach is definitely a hike (a bit treacherous at times for small kids) to get to, but so worth it, since there are very few other people going to it. The waves were just right for our kids to not be too scared. We played in the ocean for hours. Chef Christoper was amazing. We had such good meals. Hazel, the concierge, couldn't have been better. Flor, the housekeeper was a godsend. I can't believe what a difference a vacation makes when you don't have to think about cooking and cleaning. What a luxury, for a week, to splurge on. It was awesome. Thank you!!

Incredible stay at Villa Mariana! Book now!

One of the top 3 trips I've ever taken! I have traveled extensively worldwide and stayed in some great hotels, but Villa M takes the cake. I had been looking all over Costa Rica for a house to rent for my birthday with my childhood friends. I have been to Manuel Antonio before and enjoyed it. I must have looked at over 40 homes online for months and kept going back to this fantastic property. The pics do not do it justice. It's well-kept, beautiful, and has such a special vibe. Rocky, the owner, made it seamless and easy to plan and went the extra mile to ensure my and guests were taken care of. She even provided a cake for my birthday, which was a very thoughtful touch. She makes you feel at home in her home! The whole staff is wonderful, and you can tell they enjoy what they do. Starting with Lenin, the house manager who we were in contact with weeks prior. He was beyond thorough and, again, like Rocky, made everything easy. He helped us plan food, transpo, and zipping. While at the house, if we needed a taxi, reservation anything at all, he always picked up and made things happen. He's incredible. Chef Ana was super friendly, and her food was great. She has a great vibe, and we loved having her around. Same with Flora and Mauricio, the other amazing staff. Tons of monkeys came to visit, and we had the spa come to us at the house and got massages. Though the house is not on the water - it's a short drive to local beaches and the main beach or a hike down to Playa La Macha. Warning it's a HIKE, and it was a lot in the heat. I would not advise older people to do it. It was a dream trip. If you're on the fence just book this property, you won't regret it.

Beautiful setting spacious home.

Two families with 2 children, we spent a week in April 2022 at the Villa, and had a wonderful time. The house is as described. The staff are wonderful. We were so delighted to see so many animals as we relaxed by the pool. We saw squirrel monkeys as well as capuchin monkeys, macaws, toucans, and even an ant eater. One of the morning routines was looking to see which tree around the home the sloth had moved to overnight. The beds were comfortable, and the AC in each bedroom kept the temperature comfortable for sleeping. The concierge, Lenin, made everything easy. It was a wonderful vacation and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this home.

Great Time at the Villa Mariana!

The house was great and the staff is fantastic. they definitely add to the experience. Splurge for the private chef services (2 meds a day). Chef Christopher will not disappoint. The nearby private beach was beautiful, but not an easy walk for some. Great location between Quepos and Manuel Antonio (take a day to visit the National Park). Hazel, the concierge, will take care of anything you need, including transportation to/from the airport. Not sure when we'll be back to Costa Rica, but I definitely know where we'll be staying again!

Chic and Luxurious Jungle House

I stayed at Villa Mariana with my wife, 5 kids (infant-12 yrs), and wife's mother to break up the long drive to Cabo Matapalo for a surf trip. The grounds are landscaped with bright flowers, banana tree's, and other jungle plants. During our stay we were visited several morning's by lots of squirrel monkeys (20+) running around the deck wresting. It was really funny and the kids loved it. We also saw white headed capuchin monkeys, red iguanas, sloths, toucans, and green parrots. It was surprising how much wildlife was steps from the door. The house itself is very chic and clean. You have to be mindful of the septic system and inverted power, but no biggie. The common space doors and sliders open up giving it the "open air" feel. It often had a nice sea-breeze making it very comfortable. The high ceilings made the house feel huge. Each bedroom had its own bathroom, AC, and TV. This was great to keep the baby comfortable during naps and the kids loved having their own TV's. The bathrooms are very tasteful, modern looking, and clean. Flor and Juan were mellow and very helpful when needed. We highly recommend the services by Chef Christopher. He cooks with fresh ingredients and is really talented. He accomodated us with kid friendly dishes too. Hazel the concierge was very responsive and even helped us track down a better SUV to rent. Our stay at Villa Mariana was a result of last minute change of plans, but it ended up being a great part of our trip. We enjoyed it so much we stayed again on our way back from Cabo Matapalo and the kids were so excited to return. I highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be coming back. Thank you Rocky and Kyle! Sincerely, The Cuprill's

Lush Luxury. A truly amazing experience

This place is like being in a movie. The views and lush green scenery are only rivaled by the modern luxury inside. They leave no detail unaddressed. This house is beautiful and spacious yet it has a warm comforting vibe. The infinity pool let's you look right out into the jungle but you feel very safe. The staff is friendly and on point. They work exceptionally hard to ensure you have a relaxing time. I would recommend this property to anyone regardless of their reasons for visiting Costa Rica. It is a gem!

Great Costa Rican Home Base

Villa Mariana is the perfect place to use as a "home base" from which to see everything Costa Rica has to offer. It's convenient - in the hills just above the Quepos marina and just down the road from the National Park - and it's also the perfect place to relax. The staff and food was incredible too! A big thumbs up to everyone who made our stay an enjoyable and memorable one! KC

About the host

Hosted by Rocky (Raquel) Moss

Host profile image
My husband and I love to travel...it's our passion. We stayed in this villa and loved it so much that we purchased it! We hope that you love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The Villa Mariana is the most unique home that we have stayed in, from India to Monte Carlo! This home is truly special and known throughout the region as an architectural masterpiece. Not only that, it is also known as the "sexiest villa in Costa Rica". Being a glass house in the jungle with so much nature surrounding you, but yet close to the beach, how unique is that?!

What makes this property unique

From the moment that you pull into the car park and close the electronic gate behind you, you'll realize that you have arrived in paradise. Words cannot describe how beautiful the pathway is that leads to the house. It is truly stunning! Once you make it down the pathway to the house, the massive steel door that you walk through leads to an indoor river within the living room, spilling into the infinity pool. That is just the beginning of what you'll see in this amazing home. If you like wildlife, monkeys are every day visitors to the pool and patio!
