10 BR Luxury Wellness Retreat in Manuel Antonio with Private Pool

A Resort-Scale Infinity Pool Above the Rainforest

We had a large group of 20 from various parts of the U.S. converge at Saltwater Haven. We used all 10 bedrooms and took advantage of the many amenities, including chef services. The home was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and comfortable. Cleaning services were provided on a daily basis except Sunday, leaving each room fresh with clean towels. Our concierge, Valerie, was outstanding helping us to organize several excusions before arriving to include a professional photographer, private waterfall trip and ATV tours, and a private catamaran. David, our house manager, was likewise very attentive. The star of the show was Sarah Daniels, our personal chef, along with her assistant Natalia who worked tirelessly to make our time in Costa Rica particularly special. The dishes were all delicious and perfectly prepared, and she went the extra mile to ensure we had everthing we needed, and then some.

Recommendations: need industrial/larger fans on patio for outdoor dining, at least 2. There is very little ocean breeze in Manuel Antonio, so dinner was quite uncomfortable at times. The gym needs renovating. The universal type machine is in disrepair and should be replaced.

Fantastic Family Vacation!
