We had a very good stay at Villa Tortuga, communication great, house, parking, pool, location, all good.50 steps up to the main door was too many for older guests. What made the stay was the 5 star chef. He was over the top with quality and customer experience. We didn't plan on using him but we got amazing meals, on time and with a smile for less than we could go to a restaurant (fresh fish daily). Tipping was asked for several venues.....and an 18% surcharge of your stay added for use of cabinet items (paper towels, coffee, condiments, etc) as info. We gave the Chef a nice tip and an even nicer gift...he was worth every penny!Not the fault of the rental but there were daily power outages, one that lasted 6 hours. We enjoyed our stay.

Spacious home. Family gathering common areas were plentiful. The dining room seats 12. There is a lovely dining area by the pool. The pool and waterfall were beautiful. The view of the ocean was remarkable. The highlight was certainly Chef Ricardo and his Sous chef/wife Alba. They were attentive and the preparation and presentation were of the highest caliber.

Wonderful Family Vacation

Everything that you read in the reviews is accurate. From the beauty of location to the wonderful meals prepared by the chef. Location is excellent, close to the beach and the national park. We saw monkeys, Toucans, caught seven sailfish on our fishing trip Along with some tasty snapper that the chef prepared for us! there were 12 of us and we all said it was one of the best places we have stayed at!

Costa Rican Magic

This was an incredible stay! We spent the first part of our week in Costa Rica here and it exceeded our expectations. From the moment Chef Ricardo greeted us at the door, we were treated with warmth and care. The meals were outstanding, the views breathtaking, and the massages truly top-notch. The entire property felt like a dream come true!The pool was ideal for both kids and adults, and the space was perfect for our group of four couples and two children. We also booked the extra suite, which gave everyone plenty of privacy and comfort. One of the highlights was the wildlife—we spotted monkeys, parrots, parakeets, scarlet macaws, agoutis, and more, all from the balcony!A point of note: there are a lot of stairs to access the property. While this wasn’t an issue for our group, it could be a consideration for those with mobility challenges.Additionally, one of the couples booked a jet ski tour through the concierge. While the tour itself was fantastic, there was some miscommunication around scheduling and a significant delay in response time. We recommend following up consistently and including the property owner, Jackie, in all communication to ensure plans are confirmed.All in all, we had a magical stay and would absolutely return!

Fabulous!!

From the moment we booked the trip, everything was perfect. Communication from the owner was fantastic. Transportation to and from the airport was set up in advance and all went perfectly. The private chef greeted us at check-in and the bus driver helped us with our luggage up to the villa. The daily house cleaning was absolutely terrific. She spent the day there doing laundry and cleaning rooms at our request. She was there, but was not ever in our space or disturbed us. Ricardo the chef produced amazing meals for breakfast and dinner. Was very easy to talk to him and his wife about what our preferences were and they were very accommodating. Also, when we schedule dinner for a specific time, it was delivered to the table within minutes of requested time. Just a perfect touch. The location couldn’t have been better a quick quarter mile walk up the hill you have a half dozen restaurants to choose from. Another couple hundred yards and there is a store a bank, etc.. The roads are a little narrow so you have to be careful walking but very safe. We didn’t experience a single rude person on our six day travels in Costa Rica. Just beautiful people. Thank you for a great vacation! Do not hesitate to book this villa it will exceed your expectations.

Simply the best

It's hard to say which we loved more, Costa Rica or this villa! They are both incredible. We were a group of 11 ranging in age from 6 to 72 and this villa was perfect for us. Chef Ricardo, Alba, and the rest of the staff take your typical rental house stay to the next level. They made this vacation one of the best we've ever had. Everything was taken care of for us, the villa was kept in pristine condition for our entire stay, and the cooking was top notch. It would be impossible to overstate how much all of us loved Chef Ricardo and Alba. They are kind, friendly, fun, and just wonderful people. Plus we've never eaten so well! We are hoping Chef will write his own cookbook some day so we can try to recreate some of his meals. The grounds are beautiful and the pool was perfect for the kids. We enjoyed several of the suggested excursions, but our favorites were the waterfall tour, the canopy tour, and the catamaran. Tony and his crew at beach were wonderful. The kids especially loved Roberto and the grasshoppers he made for them out of leaves. Overall, I highly recommend staying here. Our group will for sure return sometime in the next couple of years! We are already talking about our next trip to Villa Tortuga!Thank you for such a fantastic experience!

Room for all of us with room to spare and spread out. And the chef… There are no words! He and his wife were the absolute best!

Exceptional and Amazing!!

We had the most wonderful & amazing stay at Villa Tortuga!! First, the place is more incredible than the photos show. Secondly, the staff was absolutely amazing!! They all were so warm and welcoming. Chef Ricardo and Alba’s meals looked like a photo and tasted as if like we were eating at a 5 star restaurant. We just allowed him to do his thing and said "surprise us". We were never disappointed!! The house keeper was such a sweetheart and keep the house immaculate, as well as the grounds keeper outside. Jessica was very responsive and attentive to our requests. She connected us with a taxi driver (Gilbert) who ended up transporting us several places. Once we got his contact info, we just contacted him directly. He too was very responsive. It was as if we had our own personal driver for the week.This was a vacation we will never forget with special memories made we will hold forever in our hearts and minds. Thank you so much Jackie to you and all of your staff as well as all the friendly people there in the Manuel Antonio/Quepos area!!

Magical stay in Manuel Antonio!

Our group of 11 absolutely loved our stay at Villa Tortuga. The host, Jackie, was very communicative and checking in was a breeze. Everything inside and out was beautiful and clean. It truly felt like a luxury resort! Plenty of space for everyone to gather together for dinner or playing games, and a unique multi-level layout to give privacy as well. The property is well-equipped with A/C, an amazing chef's kitchen, and tons of towels.The location is spectacular with a stunning view of the ocean, and close to shops and restaurants. There was wildlife everywhere -- little anoles flitting about the property at night, sounds of monkeys calling to each other, and toucans flying right in front of the huge picture window! The kids had a blast playing in the pool and the adults loved getting massages and hanging out on the huge covered outdoor patio. Of course, all the other reviews are right -- the highlight of our stay was Chef Ricardo and his wife Alba making us amazing meals every day, even on Christmas! Our group is all vegetarian, and they were able to accommodate effortlessly. Every meal (breakfast and dinner) was delicious and unique, and they made a special Anniversary dinner one night as well. Not needing to cook (or clean!) kept us in vacation-mode our whole stay. They were wonderful company, and even allowed our 5 kids to "help" them make dinner one night, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed.If we are fortunate to return to Costa Rica, we would 100% stay here again!

Best experience!

While we were visiting the area received torrential rain so we didn’t get to experience the property as it was intended. However we learned the property has a small resort feel. Very well designed for communal visits. Very clean. Very well appointed. Very safe. But what makes this property exceptional are the people. Isolde the housecleaner was attentive and kind and kept the place spotless. Ricardo and his wife Alba prepared the yummiest of breakfasts… so beautifully prepared and presented. We also had 2 dinners prepared by them. We will never forget their outstanding meals and overall generosity. We have rented in several countries and this will remain closest to our hearts.

Fantastic time in Quepos

We had a short trip to Costa Rica, but loved every minute in the house. It is a beautiful property with many different balocnies and decks. It has a lot of stairs, so keep that in mind when reserving. We had monkeys around the house every day and a raccoon that visited regularly. The scarlet macaws were amazing as well. The staff was fantastic! Cesar prepared amazing meals for breakfast and dinner. We loved everything he made. Overall, we cannot recommend this property enough!

Excellent!!

Our family of 5 adults thoroughly enjoyed our stay at beautiful Villa Tortuga! Although we were gone most of the day, we enjoyed coming home and hanging out by the pool together, enjoying the gorgeous views of Manuel Antonito, while chef Ricardo and his wife Alba prepared dinner. After our successful fishing day, Ricardo prepared the fresh tuna into tasty appetizers and dinner for 2 nights. Food was outstanding, Ricardo and Alba so kind, and such a treat to have meals prepared and the kitchen cleaned daily!! Highly recommend!
