Absolute Heaven!

The Saltwater Haven with Escape Villas was a vacation of a lifetime! From beginning to end, it was a dream retreat. The accommodations were very comfortable, clean, and not a single detail missed. The host was very responsive and helpful. The cleaning staff were thorough and did a great job every day. But I have to say that one of the biggest highlights of our visit were the Chefs, Jorge and Kimberly!!! They went above and beyond to make the most authentic and fresh Costa Rican meals, as well as the incredible presentation!!! They always greeted us with a huge smile and a thankful heart. Their fantastic services were like we have never experienced, ever! I truly hope we can revisit Costa Rica at the same exact location with the same exact staff! Buen trabajo!

Absolutely Fantastic – Highly Recommend

Our family of 16 (8 adults and 8 children) stayed at Saltwater Haven in Manuel Antonio in February 2026, and it was truly one of the most extraordinary travel experiences our family has ever had. The house itself is absolutely spectacular - even more beautiful and impressive than the photos. It is incredibly spacious, thoughtfully designed, and perfectly suited for a large multi-generational group like ours. Everyone had room to relax and enjoy themselves, yet there were wonderful spaces where we could all gather together.

Being surrounded by the jungle was magical. We saw so much wildlife right from the house -monkeys, birds, and more - which thrilled both the kids and adults alike.

The service and hospitality elevated the experience even further. Our pre-trip concierge, Valerie, was outstanding. She was incredibly responsive and made planning effortless, helping us arrange tours, transportation, babysitters, and restaurant reservations well before we arrived. Once we were there, our on-site host David was phenomenal. He checked in every day to make sure everything was perfect and was always available to help with anything we needed.

One of the absolute highlights of the trip was our chef team, Sarah and her assistant Natie. Sarah prepared the most incredible meals - every single one was restaurant quality and beautifully presented. She also handled the logistics of feeding a large group flawlessly, having dinner ready for the kids at 5:30, followed by appetizers for the adults and a wonderful full dinner at 7. Beyond her culinary talent, she was warm, engaging, and a true joy to have in the house.

This was our fourth family villa vacation, and all of us unanimously agreed that Saltwater Haven was the best villa experience we have ever had. The home, the setting, and the people who made it all run so seamlessly created memories our family will treasure forever. We cannot recommend it highly enough.

This trip was everything we ever hoped for.

We stayed at Saltwater Haven with 20 guests and it was wonderful! The house is magnificent. Every room decorated and appointed so beautifully. Every bedroom was spacious and had a beautiful view. The common areas in the house were large and even when all 20 of us were in the pool, we never felt crowded. Our chefs, JJ and Janet made the most amazing food and were wonderful to work with. David, our concierge accommodated all of our requests. He arranged several excursions and transports for us. My biggest concern before going was wondering how we were going to move 20 people 'up the hill' but the transport company that David contacted easily accommodated us multiple times and it was very inexpensive.

We ate so well!!

We stayed at Saltwater Haven from 2/14-2/21. We had a group of 20 and it was great that every couple had their own bedroom and bathroom. The rooms were so spacious and… Read More
