Can't beat this view!

We loved our stay at this property as it was plenty of room for our family of 13! The pool was a hit with our kds and the view was amazing. The property manager was very accommodating and helpful to our family and tended to any needs we had. The location was perfect - a short drive to Playa del Coco and an even shorter drive to Playa del Hermosa. We highly recommend this property!

Exceptional property

As first time travelers to Costa Rica, we had many unknowns. We are thankful we chose Sun Monkey. The house and staff were exceptional. There were 12 of us with five kids under 10. Bret was invaluable in helping us plan all excursions, our chefs, and caring for any needs we had. He was very patient with our many questions which we appreciated. The house was more than adequate and accommodated all of us comfortably. We had room to spread out as well as gorgeous common areas to enjoy family time. Clean, comfortable, and well stocked. The pool was just amazing and there are no words to describe the incredible view. The sunsets were spectacular. We opted to get a professional photographer one evening and are glad we did. Bret planned all of our excursions. We stayed local as we didn’t want to travel far with a two-year-old. We went to a Park, snorkeling excursion, the guys went fishing and the girls had massages at the house. We had a lovely day at the beach where the staff set up a cover/chairs for us at a beautiful spot. All excursions were enjoyable, especially the catamaran where to the delight of our grandchildren we saw many dolphins! The chefs were all fantastic! There are several in our family that are excellent cooks, and they were impressed with all of our meals! Chef Francis was amazing and even prepared delicious food that some of our picky grandkids loved! Our stay was all we hoped it would be and more. We will be back to Sun Monkey again when time allows.

Stunning Views!

We just completed our stay at Sun Monkey a group of 14 ranging in ages from 16 - 90 years old. There was something for everyone. The architecture and views from all the common areas are absolutely breathtaking from dawn to dusk. While the house is older, it is a good value . What was most impressive was the responsiveness of the house managers Manrique and Brett. We changed our plans a few times and they were always able to accommodate. Jay the chef is fabulous and definitely a great idea for large groups. The rain forest hike was amazing we saw poisonous dart frogs to baby Toucans. On the river boat tour the monkeys and crocodiles were within touching distance. Great property and well managed

Amazing Property!!!

We had the best time. This property was everything that was advertised and more. Bret was amazing to work with. He arranged transportation, dinner reservations, excursions, grocery delivery, and even a personal chef for us. The layout of the house was perfect for our group of 11. Every bedroom had its own bathroom!! Such a huge plus. The view from the back of the house was breathtaking. Never seen anything like that before. We had a couple of golf carts which worked awesome for getting to dinners or quick trips to the grocery store that was right by the property. Can’t say enough about this proper and trip. Thank you Bret and all the other people that made it such an amazing trip. Looking forward to returning again soon.

Kitchen was huge and well stocked with cooking supplies. Impeccable cleanliness throughout the property made us feel right at home.

What an incredible property. The photos don’t do it justice—the property is even more beautiful and spacious in person! The owner Peter and the property manager Bret met us upon check-in, and showed us around the property to ensure we know where everything was. The Villa easily acommodates our party of 12 adults. We had everything we needed during the stay; filtered water, ice maker, fully equipped kitchen, coffee maker, towels and soaps. The location is perfect! So close to local stores and beach. When some hiccups occurred, Peter and Bret were quick to respond and resolve. Overall, Sun Monkey Villa has made our trip to Costa Rica such a memorable experience. We highly recommend this Villa to anyone looking for spacious and luxurious accommodation during their stay.

Beautiful Property, Great Experience

The property lived up to and surpassed our expectations, the pictures don't do it justice. We had a group of 10 adults and it fit us all with space to spare. It would have been nice if there were more queen or king beds but that would probably make it less accommodating to families. It was great that each bedroom had it's own bathroom. Macho and Maria kept the house and grounds in good order while we were there and were available whenever we needed anything. While the nearby town and beach are technically walkable, I wouldn't recommend it, the property is in a gated community with a steep driveway. Parking wasn't hard to find.

We were looking to have a girls weekend in Costa Rica. The Villa comfortably fit all 12 of us. The community is double gated which made the house of ladies feel extra good. Bret and Peter were unbelievable. Felt like working with a 5-star concierge at a resort! They organized massage therapists to come to the house, they stocked our villa with food and alcohol, they arranged all transportation, booked all our restaurants for us, booked our zip line AND a private catamaran. It was a once in a lifetime trip and we didn’t want to say goodbye. Hoping we will be back again soon.

Great property and hospitality

The property is amazing! Great outdoor area/verandas with gorgeous view of the ocean! We saw many beautiful birds, iguanas and monkeys on the property! The pool is large, clean and gorgeous as well! Macho and Maria were amazing! I read in a previous review that Macho wanders in and out frequently. That was absolutely NOT the case during our stay! He purchased the groceries from the list I gave him ahead of time so that we had plenty of food and beverages when we arrived. We were a group of 8 women ranging in age from 25-69. None of us wanted to worry about cooking meals so we had Maria cook dinners for us. Everything she made was fantastic! I highly recommend arranging meals with her if you want to just relax and enjoy! We rented golf carts and were able to use them to go to the beach very easily! Macho and Maria made our stay exactly as we planned! I can’t wait to return! I can’t imagine anyone not enjoying their stay and the host’s hospitality!
