" LOVED staying here!"

LOVED staying here! The view was breathtaking and the location was perfect to walk to restaurants, get picked up for tours, and go on adventures. If you want to take in all the Manuel Antonio has to offer, I highly recommend going on the hike Casa Geraldo offers with Farona. She's incredibly inspiring and knowledgable and you will see all the views, the wildlife, and the beaches that you could ask for in this part of the country. It was my favorite part. I will definitely return to Casa Geraldo.

"A great find"

Really just such an incredible place. its the kind of place that makes you question the way you live. The balance of proximity to the beach, the park, and to town with the sounds of the rain and nature are so special. The food options nearby are outstanding, and everything is very walkable with only short stretches of exposure to traffic on the way north or south. definitely will visit again on the next trip down here

"Best experience"

Wow, we are SO glad we picked this spot at Casa Geraldo! It was so comfy and tranquil to have our own private space for our family of three: my husband and I plus our 8 month old son. I'm also pregnant so he and I had to take a lot of naps during the days and the hammock and daybed were the perfect places to do it! Not to mention the iguana and monkey sightings right from our screened in porch!
