Looking out to the beautiful views you will see the endless rain forest full of amazing flora and fauna, Manuel Antonio National Park, and Cathedral Point Peninsula.

Casa Fantastica IS Fantastic
We had an amazing week at Casa Fantastica with our friends and family group of 26. The house is very spacious and spread out, so we were all very comfortable. Chef Junior, Janet, and Sammi made us such delicious meals and worked hard to ensure we had a relaxing, wonderful vacation. Valerie, the Concierge, helped us schedule our excursions, and was great with responding to any questions that arose before our trip. We were wowed by all of the animals that were easily seen from our pool that overlooked the jungle and the ocean…we saw several different types of monkeys, a sloth, a toucan, beautiful macaws and many other birds. We even had monkeys entertaining us with their antics a few times. Majorie and her girls keep the entire place clean and made sure we always had what we needed. We made great memories this week! Casa Fantastica and our new friends will always have a special place in our hearts.

We had a tremendous week at Casa Fantastica! The house was perfect. The rooms with king beds and en suite showers were everything we hoped for. Comfortable, spacious, very cool and nicely appointed. Margarie and the cleaning crew were great and very attentive to our needs. Chef Junior and Janet were the highlight. The food and its presentation was simply spectacular. Perfect meals every day and night! The Spa services were thoroughly enjoyed by all our guests. The media room was great for a couple of showings. And then there’s the view - breathtaking! A very memorable week.

Perfect
What a wonderful trip. Everything was in place for us just as arranged. Ricky was on it at every request. The cleaning crew were all over it cleaning up after us (as well as the monkeys LOL). All of that was 5 star and then some. But what was by far the best part of the trip was the food. The food was great but Chef Junior and Janeth were absolutely amazing. I asked Junior last Sunday after he had left the name of a sports bar he was telling me about earlier in the day. Not only did he tell me but he arranged a ride for us. Above and beyond! They actually became a good part of our day interacting with us as if we were family. Very professional but personal. Just can't put into words the job they did.

Casa Fantastica is indeed FANTASTIC!!!
What can I say other than 5 stars all around for this wonderful property! The pictures don’t even begin to show you the beauty of the home along with the surroundings. 20 adults shared the house for 5 nights and everyone raved about the property. Marjorie and the ladies keep meticulously maintained, the communication from start to end was consistent with Fernando and Valerie. Ricky came through on everything that was asked of him as our contact person on the ground. Chef Junior and David were the highlight of the house as the meals were local, delicious and bursting with flavor and Liz was an awesome bartender each day. Needless to say we will be back and are already planning our next vacation to Costa Rica!

Heaven on earth
Casa Fantastica is everything you could possibly want, and more. The house is very well built and offers the most amazing views and accommodations. Positioned on a hill over looking the most epic view of Manuel Antonio and the ocean. The rainforest canopy is at the same level of the pool deck and is teeming with wildlife and dense, gorgeous foliage. Daily visits from the monkeys, toucans and sloths keep you entertained for hours. The bedrooms were all very unique and offered ocean views and also some lower jungle views. All windows have the option of opening up in the house and make you feel like you are sleeping in the jungle. The staff is amazing... Ricky was a great host and was there to help us with whatever we needed. He helped liaison with our various tour groups and even helped us recoup some money that was owed to us. Chef Junior and the kitchen team cooked us meals that rate at a 12 out of 10. The daily meal planning with them was fun and everything turned out absolutely delicious. We asked for locally sourced, healthy meals and that is exactly what they delivered. Tons of fresh seafood and locally sourced produce kept us fueled for activities and relaxed for our down days. The cleaning staff did a great job as well... they moved in quickly and efficiently and kept the house in immaculate condition, even with a bunch a messy dudes. I cannot wait to come back to this amazing sanctuary. It was truly a pleasure to stay here at Casa Fantastica. Thank you Ricky and Junior!! Looking forward to seeing you again.

Amazing House and Staff!
We stayed at Casa Fantastica for our family reunion trip that we do every 2 years. We all agreed that this was the best experience of any house we have stayed at! The views and wildlife (monkeys everyday, sloths, Tucans....) were incredible. The house was beautiful and had anything and everything we wanted. We had Estaban as our Chef and he was absolutely amazing. The food everyday was delicious and unique. He was also just such a pleasure to work with and speak with. We really enjoyed our time with him and his wife. He was definitely the best chef we have worked with over the years. Marjorie and her staff was wonderful. They were all so nice and always smiling. They seemed to really enjoy our family as much as we enjoyed them. Marjorie was such a pleasure to speak with and was so amazing at keeping the house clean and in shape. Valarie was so great to work with prior to our arrival and spent the time to answer all of our questions and set up all of our transportation and fun excursions. We would definitely recommend this house!

Family trip of a lifetime! So many great memori
Our group of 19 adults and 5 children had been planning this trip to the Casa Fantastica for over a year with Valerie’s help every step of the way. We greatly appreciate her patience and quick and thoughtful responses to our many many questions. Everything turned out AMazing!! I encourage all large groups to opt for the meal plan! It’s worth every cent. Chef Junior and David were great to work with, professional, flexible and eager to please. The food was awesome! We took advantage of all of the large gathering areas: pool, upstairs bar area, game room, media room. There was ample space for our daily family Olympic competitions. These Olympic Games and the morning visits by the monkeys were among the many highlights of our trip. The house and all master suites are beautiful and clean. The post card views from the infinity pool were breath taking. I highly recommend getting massages. Having the spa rooms on site was a real bonus and everyone was very impressed with their masseuse. The housekeeping staff was friendly. The few minor issues we had were addressed immediately by Ricky ( leaky pipe and bees in bathroom). I have already recommended the Casa Fantastica to several friends.

Love Casa Fantastica!!!
This was our 2nd stay at Casa Fantastica. It is a phenomenal property! We are a family of 18 and the house is perfect for a large group. The bedrooms are super comfortable. Extremely nice baths and bedding. The house flows well. Wonderful furnishings throughout. Pool is awesome and you cannot beat the gorgeous view. Junior is the greatest chef! He can prepare anything you request. Janet was a fabulous mixologist! The cleaning crew did a great job everyday. Ricky is a very attentive host. Minutes to Manuel Antonio park and the beach but really you never want to leave the house. We always have spa services brought in and even a Pilates instructor for a private class. We have visited Costa Rica 7 times and by Far Casa Fantastica is our favorite spot. Truly a Fantastic house with a great staff.

Beautiful!!
Casa Fantastica was amazing. My wife and I chose to celebrate our wedding here, and actually had the wedding on the property. It was magical. During our ceremony, the monkey's even showed up to pay their congratulations. Super cool. You can't beat the view, the pool was the perfect temperature. The selection of rooms was great as well, all of them had their own unique look and feel. Everyone who stayed with us were comfortable. The property itself was very well maintained, clean, and all of the people who worked at the property were extremely nice. Ricky was a great coordinator, he was very kind and responsive. I would certainly recommend this property to anyone and everyone. We had a chef (Chocco) for breakfast and dinner, which I would highly recommend if you have it in your budget. Thank you for exceeding our expectations.

Pinnacle of 50 Years of Apex Experiences!
Rigorous, novel adventures for six teenagers and and eight active adults; informative tours and “downtime “ poolside for six grandparents gave each of our group something memorable each day to suit individual interests. Starting each day with Choco’s breakfasts accommodating our schedules and returning “home” each afternoon to luxurious accommodations, fabulous views, unbelievable wildlife visits , and gourmet dinners a la Choco and Stephen spoiled us all beyond imagination. Spending a week in Casa Fantastica celebrating our 50th anniversary with family and friends was a Dream Come True...it will never be surpassed or forgotten in our lifetime. Thank you Valerie, Ricky, Choco, Marjorie , Stephen, Cynthia, and Jaimie for so kindly arranging to meet and attend our every need in such friendly, professional, and courteous Tico fashion. Pura Vida truely! We love you, Costa Rica and Casa Fantastica!

Casa Fantastica
We just spent a week at Casa Fantastica with 19 members of our family. It was absolutely wonderful. It was the perfect setting for a large group of couples with children - lots of spae to be together and also luxurious suites for when we wanted to unwind by ourselves. The food and staff were amazing, and the view is out of this world. The only thing to note is it is a little difficult to get to the beach since you have to drive to get there, but as it is on the hill in the jungle, it was expected. We thought we might be able to walk, but definitely not.

Absolutely Amazing for our Wedding!
We rented Casa Fantastica for our wedding and could not have been happier! With 35 attending, some friends and family stayed with us while others stayed in two of the other properties managed by Ricky and Escape Villas. From the moment we walked in, we were blown away with the house. The pictures definitely do not do this place justice! Choko (aka Hairo) was our chef and he was amazing! Not only was he was our house chef but he and his staff also did the wedding dinner. Everyone loved the food, especially the grilled pineapple with melted chocolate! We saw Capuchin monkeys every morning around 6am. They put on quite the show so I highly recommend getting up to see them. Just be careful of leaving any belongings or drinking glasses hanging around the pool area. They can get pretty mischievous. We saw howler monkeys a couple times but heard them more than we saw them. We also had a couple visits from the squirrel monkeys, several toucans and parrots but the highlight for everyone was the sloth we saw three days in a row!! We never made it to Manuel Antonio park because we saw so much wildlife right at the house. The bedrooms were all beautiful, each with its own character. My husband and I took the master suite on the lower level. As someone else mentioned, the foliage has grown in so there is no view of the water as shown in some of the pictures but we chose it for the privacy and the open air shower. Valerie was great setting up things before we arrived and answering all of our questions. 16 of us, ages 8-80, did the Waterfall Rappelling excursion with Quepo Canyoning and everyone had a blast. The guides were incredible and kept us entertained the whole time. We had our rehearsal dinner at El Lagarto. I highly recommend checking it out. Everyone loved it! We didn't get to see too much of the area with the wedding and all but we were just as happy just hanging out at the pool. The housekeeping staff takes great care of the house and they were super sweet. Ricky was great! Funny, hospitable and knew everything about the area. The perfect host! We were going to arrive a little late so I'd sent a list of some staples (milk, drinks, etc) to Valerie in advance and Ricky made sure they were in the fridge when we arrived. He also helped some guests set up massages in the treatment rooms on the lower level. Would highly recommend Fantastica to anyone. We're already planning our next trip back!!

Ah-mazing vacation!!!
We had a spectacular stay at Casa Fantastica. The property is stunning with breath taking views of the ocean and the surrounding jungle. All the bedrooms were spacious and very comfortable. We loved how all the windows and glass sliders created an open air feeling all day long. The games room kept the kids and adults entertained in evenings and our days were filled with time in the pool, beach and excursions. Our chef Choco was a fabulous cook and took care of all of our needs. Ricky our host was attentive and booked all of our excursions at top notch places. Cynthia and her crew were lovely and kept everything in pristine order. We didn't have a chance to explore Manuel Antonio restaurants or night life as we were enjoying Casa Fantastica so much. We can't wait to return! !

Fantastica is the place to stay!!
This was my 4th time at Fantastica. I absolutely love the villa, the staff and the Manuel Antonio area. The staff are so accommodating - always making sure everyone in the villa is taken care of. Marjorie and her staff are wonderful, making sure the villa is cleaned, but also just ensuring the guests are happy and taken care of. This was our first year having Choko as our Chef and he did an awesome job - his food was excellent and the table was always decorated beautifully. The chest freezer down in the Theater room was an awesome addition to the villa, as with a large group we go through a lot of ice. JC, the driver that picked us up from the airport, was fantastic - always timely and ensured we got where we needed to go by the proper time. Ricky and Val, as always, provide excellent service and are always available for questions or booking adventures. I would recommend this villa to anyone and am available by email should someone want a personal recommendation. We stayed for 2 weeks this time. It was fabulous.

Fantastic - did not disappoint
We had a family reunion at the property and loved every minute of our stay, well the couple of exceptions were not the fault of the property (LOL - we had a large earthquake while we were there and most of us contracted a 24 hours flu bug). The house is beautiful. We had 23 people total, 2 of which were 1 year old twins and the oldest was 75. We had wildlife daily - all types of monkeys and birds including parrots and toucans. We even had a sloth on the last day which was the highlight, especially for one granddaughter. The younger set loved the theatre room at night along with the various games. Our concierge helped us set up fishing (caught enough dorado for the entire week for 23 people and even left some for the staff), a tour of the national park, a canopy tour, massages, ATV rides, jet skiing and a waterfall tour. So much fun and adventure we actually could have used a little more down time to enjoy the pool more. Chako, our chef, was amazing. He cooked excellent healthy meals and was always up for cooking anything we asked. We celebrated a few birthdays while we were there and he was so sweet he even brought a birthday cake with a singing candle for them to blow out. We would have loved to have stayed one more week. The listing was very accurate and the property was clean and well maintained. Due to the size of our group, we didn't eat out as an entire group but many ate lunch out and loved the restaurant with the plane - (forgot the name). The property manager and concierge were extraordinarily patient and helpful. We would highly recommend this property
