Manuel Antonio is one of the most popular beach destinations in Costa Rica. Everyone used to tell me: you'll practically bump into a myriad of amazing and tropical wildlife creatures at every turn. You'll also fall in love with its wonderful white-sanded beaches. Most of these can be found inside the most popular National Park of Costa Rica, called Manuel Antonio National Park. So I decide to visit it and all of that was true.
Can you imagine hiking nature trails that take you by crystalline cascade, stunning lookout points and through dense jungle growth? Your own exclusive beach? Interacting with the best of Manuel Antonio National Park wildlife from your doorstep or by just drawing the curtains of your bungalow window? Even better Imagine yourself reclining by the pool or on the beach sipping a tropical cocktail concocted specially for you while watching that great golden ball slip languidly into the horizon.
But where do I stay where I won't feel the crowds? Well I found the perfect place while visiting Manuel Antonio: Tulemar Gardens. In Tulemar Gardens I ran into a villa called Villa Mot Mot and I fell in love with it! This is a two story luxury villa with a private beach.
Let me describe it to you:
Something great I found out about it is that you can rent the whole villa if you are traveling with family or a group of friends. But maybe you are on your honeymoon or just want to have a romantic vacation with you partner, in that case you can either rent the top or the bottom floor. I have to tell you this place is going to be hard to beat in my favorites list. The two story Villa is perched on a little hill overlooking the ocean and the rain forest.
You'll literally have monkeys waving good morning to you while you're laying in bed or enjoying your first cup of coffee. The upstairs has two bedrooms a living room and kitchen with a wrap-around terrace that you won't ever want to leave! The bottom studio villa has a jacuzzi and a lovely deck to watch the sun go down.
However, the best part is the wonderful manager Diego! He goes out of his way and back and out of his way some more to make sure that YOU will have the best vacation of your life!
He goes out of his way and back and out of his way some more to make sure that YOU will have the best vacation of your life! Nothing is too big of a request or too much for him, also the amazing part of Tulemar gardens, are the villas you can choose from. Most are privately owned with different luxuries and benefits that few can enjoy!
