I recently spent 3 nights in Apartment 3 of Villa Kristina, and it was truly a slice of heaven. The Villa sits towards the end of a hilly, gravel road that is about a 10/15 minute walk to the main road where you can catch a bus right on the corner, or a taxi, to downtown Manuel Antonio or Quepos....

My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of staying here for 2 nights and it truly was a pleasure! Upon arrival, as we were getting out of the car, Kristina warmly greeted us and immediately directed us to the back yard/pool area and shined her flashlight up in a tree to reveal a sloth sleeping there. We had been to... More

The 4 days we spent at the Villa Kristina were without any doubt the most beautiful, relaxing, intense days during our whole 3 weeks vacation in Costa Rica. We discovered the Villa by accident, on our way out of the much too expensive Manuel Antonio, terribly frustrated that we could find no accomodation for less than 300 dollars/night. While driving...

Had two families stay in two apartments. Great location, great views, wonderful pool, great hostess. Kids had a great time. Layout of top apartment is fun with loft/suite that is perfect for kids. Sat on porch and watched two groups of monkeys pass by house each moning and evening. Hiked up road past Villa Kristina and down trail through tropical... More

One of the best hotels we have stayed at. Peaceful, private, quiet, fully equipped, friendly attention. If you complain is because you brought your problems along with yourself. Totally recommended. We will be back anytime. Tack så mycket Kristina Marce & Mau More

What a lovely place! I highly recommend it to those in search of a quiet, surrounded by nature place. Good Value as well. There is only one issue; be aware that the owner, Kristina, does comes and goes inside the apartments without any previous consent. She came inside the apartment twice in two days without really asking first. By the... More

My boyfriend and I just returned from 8 days at Villa Kristina. It was our first time to Costa Rica. We were more than happy with our stay. The apartment we stayed in was clean and comfortable. We went during a rather rainy portion of the season so having a full apartment was great (we didn't want to kill each... More

Our apartment was just beautiful and the location is great. Geckos on the ceiling of the porch. There was a crab to great us on the patio when we arrived. Kids were upstairs, we were downstairs. Full kitchen was very convenient - wish we would have stayed more than two days. Kristina was awesome and very helpful. Our car was... More

LesterRam has written a very good review - he sums Villa Kristina up well. Villa Kristina has a wonderful location. Manuel Antonio is getting a bit too many hotels, but you’d never know it once you turn off to Villa Kristina. Below and on either side is forest, with a distant view of the sea. She has a steep garden... More
