We had a wonderful stay here! For much of your stay, we had the pool to ourselves. Loved the a/c in the bedrooms and kitchen had all the basics so we could cook a few meals. Morning coffee on the deck was lovely with all the wildlife. The macaw family was a highlight. Johan was excellent to communicate with.

It could be a 5* with much needed TLC. Not a luxury condo. Maintenance closet on the back deck
I really want to give this beautiful condo a 5 star rating. The backdrop of the mountains is awe-inspiring, the location is nearly magical and located conveniently between Quepos and Manuel Antonio. We enjoyed watching the Sloths and had visits from both Howler Monkey families and White Faced Monkeys. There is a family of Parrots that nest in a tree beside the unit, and a couple of Toucans that come by daily. We saw giant Green Iguanas, and thoroughly enjoyed our time in Costa Rica. We will definitely be back, however we will not stay here again. The unfortunate reality is that this place requires much needed attention.
We can confirm from the previous post that there is STILL a black tarp on the roof, and the damaged sliding door (facing the pool) still has a hole in it. There is vegetation growing from the roof and eaves, and visible water damage. The furniture is not comfortable, neither inside or out. We chose to drag units of the inside sectional outside to the back deck. There is unfinished blueboard patching damage to the eaves outside.
The pool is nice, but again requires attention. The pool furniture is not the same furniture as in the pictures, and the cabanas are in DIRE need of attention. The cushions are moldy and the cabana curtains have been removed. The pool could do with a ladder as well. We did enjoy floating in this amazing location on multiple occasions, and purchased unbreakable cups in Quepos to use at the pool as there were none in our unit to use.
There is no toaster or dishwasher in this unit. The dishwasher was not an issue as there are not enough dishes provided to fill one. Unfortunately, the sink does not produce water hot enough to wash them by hand either. I did really appreciate the good quality pans though! The BBQ in the common area is NOT the gorgeous one in the picture - it has been replaced by a low quality $199 two burner BBQ. The inside is wrapped in tinfoil.
Johan was very helpful. One of the locks failed and he fixed it the next morning. The biggest irritant, however, is that his
supply closed is located on the back deck of this unit. Every morning while enjoying our morning coffee in this breathtaking environment, Johan would come by to get supplies. We found this extremely intrusive and awkward, and he did as well.
It is a shame that this beautiful location is being left to fall apart. As said, we will definitely be back to Costa Rica, but just not to this location unless drastically updated.

Well designed - poorly maintained - not current luxury
Unfortunately this property has been poorly maintained and is no longer the ‘luxury’ accommodations as promised. While the unit’s space is well designed, there is water damage on every interior ceiling and a large chunk of exterior soffit on the deck overhand has been torn away. The roof is shrouded in plastic and there is black mold evident in several areas (and on other units - there are 4 there and 3 of 4 are in similar states on the outside at least). Additionally, one of the sliding glass doors in the has damage in the glass that hasn’t been repaired.
The unit itself is quite functional and well laid out and has the necessities but again isn’t quite luxury. It lacks full sets of some key items. While most are in sets of 4, glasses, wine glasses aren’t complete (1 wine glass - in glass) and no toaster. And they are all in glass form (not acrylic or other shatterproof material) where the Pool Rules indicate no glass is allowed so you can’t take advantage of that area for eating/dining.
The common grounds again are well designed and not well maintained.The pool has tiles surrounding it and one entire side are fully broken, leaving jagged sharp uneven edges to walk on. A nightmare for kids and grownups alike. The ‘cabanas’ are comfortable and shaded nicely, but again could use some deeper cleaning and hemming of fabric around them as they are well stained and torn. Behind the BBQ area, which has a long table and chairs for relaxing and meals, which we saw used only by grounds staff for lounging, there is a massive pile of garbage that has been left to rot.
The location is good - midway between Quepos and Manuel Antonio - so convenient. But walk to the bus on main road is on a blind curve - and wasn’t advised by our local contact. Speaking of Johan - he was helpful, informative, and quite responsive. A bright spot in the week.
When we notified the host (not local contact) that we were leaving early and explained why we had to make that decision, we heard NO RESPONSE. At all, to this date (weeks after our return).
We wish this lovely designed property had been maintained as well as it had been designed.

Excellent location between Manuel Antonio and Quepos
Johan, the property manager, was very responsive and great to work with. He met us at the Villa and explained how everything worked and answered questions right away whenever I messaged him. The Villa was perfect for our family of 4. Plenty of space. The property was easy to find which is a huge plus in Costa Rica with lack of street signs. Make sure you download Waze and Google maps before you go! Our living area faced out toward the forest which was awesome because we saw monkeys while sitting on the patio in the evening. The A/C in each room kept the bedrooms nice and cool while we slept and even the main area didn’t get too warm either. My kids loved the pool and would have enjoyed it more in the evenings had it not rained 2 of our afternoon/evenings there. There are plenty of restaurants nearby if you don’t want to go into Quepos or busy Manuel Antonio area near the beach. We ate at El Wagon one night and highly recommend. Also recommend El Santaurio Canopy zip line tour. They will pick you up at the Villa and feed you. We enjoyed our short visit in Manuel Antonio and would definitely stay in this property again!

We loved our stay at Mono Tito #1
What a great find, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Johan was a pleasure to deal with, he quickly replied to emails and was so friendly.
We loved the quiet mornings on the back patio, the unit itself was clean and comfortable. We didn't have a car but easily walked the short distance on Valle Pura Vida to the main road. The bus passes every 15 minutes (during the day) and is so convenient. A flashlight helped to make the walk comfortable in the evening, there are a few dogs along the way but they were friendly. We felt safe walking in the neighbourhood and taking the bus, both during the day and at night.
We saw monkeys, Toucans, snakes, spiders, frogs, iguanas and other lizards. What a beautiful setting, a really great spot. If we are ever in Manuel Antonio again, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Nice House, Great Staff, Wildlife
The property was very clean and nice/modern. The back porch was a great place to drink coffee in the morning and the pool was refreshing in the evening after a full day enjoying Costa Rica. The team at the property was really nice and pointed out nearby a nearby sloth (with a baby) as well as a pair of scarlet macaws that seem to nest near the property. Overall very happy with the stay.

Perfect place!
We stayed at a villa of Rio Mono for 3 nights and we had a very good time. The 4 villas are loacted approx. 200 metres from the mainroad through Quepos and has lots of good restaurants nearby. The villa is very nice, has 2 bedrooms, good beds, good airco and a nice swimming pool which you share with the 3 other villas. A perfect place when you want to see the national park or do a boattour through the mangroves. Both wortwhile!

Wonderful mini villa
These are brand new constructions, very comfortable and very well managed. Situated very close to all the major attractions of Manuel Antonio. As other reviews have stated, parts of this development are still under construction, but we were not negatively affected and really enjoyed our stay, would recommend it in a heartbeat

Cute little place with space to relax with my kids
We loved staying in this 2BR 1 bath villa, close to Manuel Antonio Park. There is AC in the BRs which adequately cools most of the villa. Small kitchen was adequate. Lighting was trendy but not bright which made cooking in the evening more challenging, there is a shared pool which is spacious. I really enjoyed the back patio. Parking is available but may need to be arranged if the construction workers are there. Like other visitors we heard the construction next door, but we were getting up early, so it wasn’t a problem. There is WiFi in each villa. What is missing is laundry access. There is laundry on site and Kim did it for us for a small fee but it’s not as easy as just throwing it in ourselves. Overall incredibly relaxing.

Beautiful jungle paradise in Manuel Antonio
We had the most amazing week long stay at Rio Mono last week. The property is beautiful and the Villa was perfect and came equipped with everything that we needed. Situated in a great little jungle neighborhood, we were really able to take a deep breath and just relax. And it was perfect for our two young daughters as well. There was wildlife all over the property (monkeys off our back patio, a sloth in the tree above the villa and two sweet Macaws nesting in a tree at the front). The pool was also great to come home to after a day of adventures, which are all within close access, including the incredible national park and pristine beaches only minutes away. Last but not least, Johan, the property manager was amazing. He was so helpful in terms of check-in, getting us situated, giving recommendations for excursions and helping to book things. He was incredibly responsive, attentive and sweet. After 7 days there, I was so so sad to leave. Our family loves to explore and experience new places but this amazing little place will definitely bring us back. Pura Vida :)

Casa recientemente estrenada en un complejo dentro de la selva
Se encuentra dentro de un complejo conformado por cuatro casas similares. Está dentro de la selva, convenientemente lejos de los ruidos y de las luces. Tiene una pileta común muy bonita y un espacio para hacer un barbecue. La casa está muy bien equipada y tiene una linda decoración. Johan siempre muy atento a nuestros pedidos. A mi gusto las casas están bastante pegadas, lo que no da demasiada privacidad. En este momento están haciendo unos nuevos departamentos dentro del complejo (al lado de las casas), por lo que en la semana empiezan a trabajar muy temprano generándose ruidos
