Casa Bamboo with Guest House | Colonial Estate | Sleeps 14 | Manuel Antonio
🌴 Casa Bamboo with Guest House — Spanish Colonial Estate | Private Pool, Jacuzzi & Concierge Included | Manuel Antonio🌴
6 Bedrooms ✦ 6.5 Baths ✦ Sleeps 14 ✦ Private Pool + Jacuzzi ✦ Gated Community ✦ Daily Housekeeping
Nestled deep within the rainforest at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, Casa Bamboo with Guest House is the most distinctive estate in Manuel Antonio. Built in the style of a private Spanish colonial hacienda — arched colonnades, terracotta barrel tile roof, and a grand two-story facade — the main villa and a fully private detached guest house together offer more than 14 guests the space, privacy, and service of a world-class retreat, all enclosed by giant bamboo groves, tropical blooms, and the sounds of a gentle stream.
Daily visits from monkeys, toucans, and sloths begin right at your doorstep. The beach, restaurants, cafés, boutiques, and the bus stop are just a short walk away.
With over 3,500 sq ft of airy indoor-outdoor living across two levels of the main villa — plus the fully private casita just 30 yards away — Casa Bamboo with Guest House gives larger groups something rare: genuine privacy within the group itself, resort-level service, and a setting unlike anything else in Costa Rica.

Our concierge, Susan, was so kind and helpful! She did an excellent job helping us make the most of our time in Costa Rica, and the home and staff were also wonderful! We couldn’t have asked for a better time!
The place was a great choice for our group of eight. It’s secluded, but an easy walk or taxi ride to grocery, restaurants, and other attractions. Susan, our Concierege was great, helping to arrange a private chef and booking excursions and having Laura for daily housekeeping was unexpected and amazing. Definitely recommend Casa Bambu.
This place is magic! We had 10 of us (mostly adults but some children too) stay comfortably for nearly a week. There are many social/common spaces for group gatherings/sharing meals but plenty of space for alone time, too. The pool was perfect and we used it every day (someone came to clean it nearly every day, too!). The concierge, Susan, met us on the property for check in and pointed out a sloth right away, and soon after the monkeys showed up! The wildlife is incredible and you feel truly immersed in the jungle. Susan was also extremely responsive and helpful throughout the entire trip, always responding to my WhatsApp messages within moments. One of the highlights was having Laura, the housekeeper, come and help tidy/clean and do laundry almost every day. It made this trip so much more relaxing and helpful - plus she was an incredible delight to interact with daily! The only thing worth noting is that the house is really tucked back from the main strip of restaurants. A few of us walked up the big hill a few times to get closer into town but we mainly had to drive everywhere. That being said, anywhere in Manuel Antonio is going to be like this. It’s a very hilly place - but those sunset views all around town can’t be beat! Overall, we are all unanimous in recommending this place to anyone looking for a jungle experience that feels extremely luxurious! Pura Vida!
Casa Bamboo was perfect for our group of 13. The home was very nice and clean. Susan, the concierge, was excellent. She booked all of our excursions and our transportation to and from the airport. She even made dinner reservations for us. We also had the private chefs cook a couple of meals for us. The food was delicious. Laura, the housekeeper, came each day. She kept the house very clean and even did our laundry. We really enjoyed hanging out in the pool. There were both monkeys and sloths on the property, which was really cool. Also, the house is just a short walk from a grocery store and many restaurants. We would definitely stay here again!!
