Our stay at Villa Buddha Belly was an amazing experience. The house was well appointed and felt like a mini-resort that we had to ourselves. We were greeted with Toucans most mornings and the views of the ocean and surrounding forest were magical. The concierge service, private chef, and daily housekeeping made us feel well taken care of. Vicky, the chef, makes breakfast each morning (you pay for the groceries only). We recommend also taking advantage of her cooking dinner (an extra service) if you want to be able to truly relax at the house in the evenings., We would book this house again in a heartbeat!
Hola Carey thank you so much for your wonderful review!
We are so glad that Villa Buddha Belly felt like your own private mini-resort.
It is magical to hear that the toucans joined you for coffee most mornings! We are truly proud of our team; I will be sure to share your kind words with Vicky and Vanessa. We agree that having Vicky prepare dinner is the ultimate way to relax, and we are delighted that you enjoyed her cooking so much.
We would love to welcome you back whenever you are ready for another escape!
Pura Vida y muchas gracias!

This is a great place to stay in Quepos/Manuel Antonio. The house is magnificent, with beautiful views of both the Pacific, and mountains/ rainforest. Michael was always super responsive, and attentive to our needs. Vicky is a great chef. Breakfasts were always fabulous, and we had her prepare dinner for us one evening as well, perfect! Vannessa kept the place in fabulous condition. Our only regret was having to leave. We would highly recommend this house to anyone wanting a perfect Costa Rican vacation!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re really happy you enjoyed the house, the views, and your time with us.
We’ll be sure to share your compliments with Vicky and Vannessa—they’ll love hearing this. It was a pleasure having you, and you’re always welcome back!
We had a great family stay at the Buddha Belly. Fantastic pool deck with ocean views and the forest directly below. We saw wildlife daily from the deck including many kinds of birds and monkeys. Chef Vicky made excellent breakfasts daily and cooked us a wonderful dinner one evening, we had no issues with communication or check in. Would highly recommend this spot to others.
Hola Matthew!

Our experience at the villa was nothing just amazing! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the warmest hosts, Michael and Vicky, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and memorable. Their hospitality truly set the tone for a relaxing getaway.
The villa itself was stunning – spacious, beautifully designed, and immaculately clean. Every detail had been thoughtfully planned, making it feel like a home away from home. The surrounding scenery was breathtaking, and we loved relaxing by the pool, soaking up the tranquil atmosphere.

Beautiful multi million dollar house and view. The air condition and all the accommodation for wonderful. Bring extra cash for tips to the house staff and to pay food costs.
From the very beginning, this was an exceptional hosting experience. Communication was seamless and welcoming from day one, and it only got better once we arrived.
Dorit was absolutely amazing—kind, attentive, and truly thoughtful in every interaction. She set the tone for an unforgettable stay. Michael was always there for anything we needed, incredibly responsive and proactive, and genuinely made our time at the property even more special.
The property itself is stunning. Nestled in a beautiful natural setting, it feels private, peaceful, and perfectly integrated with the surroundings. The views are breathtaking—whether you’re looking out at the lush landscape or simply enjoying the calm and serenity, it’s impossible not to feel relaxed and inspired here.
Everything about this place felt intentional, comfortable, and well cared for. It’s the kind of stay where you immediately feel at home, yet still in awe of where you are.
We couldn’t recommend this property more highly!!
excelente lugar para hospedarse si quieres visitar y conocer la provincia de Puntarenas en Costa Rica.

Excelente lugar, es un paraíso!
¡Muchas gracias por tus palabras! Nos alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutaste de Villa Buddha Belly y que lo sentiste como un verdadero paraíso. Estaremos encantados de recibirte nuevamente cuando quieras regresar.
Warning: you won’t want to leave! From start to finish, our stay at Villa Buddha Belly was an amazing experience. Without a doubt, this is the most beautiful property I have ever stayed at on any vacation. Communication with Michael was seamless, and he was incredibly helpful and responsive to anything we needed throughout our stay. Each morning, Chef Vicki prepared delicious breakfasts that made every day feel like a luxury resort, and Vanessa kept the house spotless with daily cleaning.The layout of the house was perfect for our group. The reverse floor plan maximizes the spectacular ocean and rainforest views, with three bedrooms just off the main living area. The teenagers in our group loved having the second-floor bedrooms to themselves, where they could be as loud as they wanted without disturbing the adults.The home is new, beautiful, and comfortable. Stunning sunsets, monkeys and armadillos, and a swimmable waterfall within walking distance all added to the magic of our stay.
Wow Cecilia and friends, thank you for this incredibly kind review!
Your description of your stay at Villa Buddha Belly is truly what we hope every guest experiences. It was a great pleasure to host you and your wonderful group.
I'll be sure to pass along your compliments to Vicki and Vanessa—they will be so happy to know their hard work made your stay feel luxurious. I'm also thrilled to hear that the floor plan worked out so well for your group!
We would love to welcome you back the next time you need an escape to paradise.
Thanks again for choosing us and PURA VIDA!
The house was new and lovely. Perfect for a large group! Loved how spread out everything was ,lots of private space. We will def be staying here again.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the house and found it perfect for your group. It’s wonderful to know you appreciated the spacious layout and privacy. We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime!
Such a magnificent place! Pure luxury. Endless space, wonderful very big pool and great view, kitchen with loads of amenities, a fitness room, a game room with table tennis, fussball table and home cinema and a gym room. Spotless clean, and with fantastic bedrooms and bathrooms.
The chef (included to cook breakfast and bookable for lunch and dinner) was both great and very flexible.
Very quiet, safe and serene and yet close to everything in Quepos and Manuel Antonio.
Very responsive, kind and proactive host, who gave great tips and made sure we felt at home from the first minute. We would love to stay again in the future and highly recommend this place.
