Lunches & Dinners

The open-air, yet covered, dining areas at the Villa Punto de Vista Estate offer endless views upon the rainforest and the spectacular Manuel Antonio Bay. It’s no wonder the majority of your meals probably will be enjoyed here at the villa! Several wonderful options are possible to enjoy a gastronomic experience at Villa Punto de Vista:

  • For chef-prepared meals (arranged by your group leader w/ our villa Pre-Arrival Concierge) at the villa, they are skillfully prepared, made with only the freshest local ingredients and served by attentive service staff. From one special meal to your entire stay, this is a great & convenient service for the ultimate in pampering.
  • Professional Kitchens – Additionally, the commercial-grade villa kitchens can be used by your group to prepare your own delicious meals as desired. Also, both villas feature BBQ’s for poolside cookouts which are popular! The villa kitchens are stocked with pots, and pans, silverware, plate ware, napkins, basic kitchen necessities for cooks in your groups or tropical “Iron Chef” competitions among the guests!
  • Order Out/Delivery Options – Ordering delicious food from restaurants couldn’t be easier! Plan a delivery meal with many of the delicious local restaurants/eateries ahead of time or coordinate with your on-site concierge a few hours before to arrange a last-minute meal. (TIP: Due to the size of the group it’s important to order these meals with at least a day’s anticipation or a few hours to avoid a long wait or any issues in case of high demand!) Options include the usual delivery favorites from Pizza, hamburgers, chicken wings and sandwiches to fine dining options like steak, seafood, Thai and Mediterranean food. See our dining blog for more info.

Again, your villa butler/concierge will assist with ordering and giving you nearby ordering options that are available. Payment for delivery food and groceries is made on a credit card at the moment of delivery at the villa gate. For all dining options above (Chef-prepared, order-in or cook yourself meals) your group leader will be communicating that with your group on the Online Villa Stay Itinerary or directly.

Beverages

You are all on vacation in the tropics so we know this is going to be important to all! 🙂

There is nothing better than sitting back on a pristine beach enjoying a cocktail or one of the Villas famous pools with a Pina Colada!

Although we do not include beverages or sell beverages (outside of breakfast daily) there are many convenient ways to prepare the villa(s) with delicious and refreshing beverages. 

  • Beverage Pre-Stocking – Your group leader may be pre-purchasing a small selection of beverages for overnight guests of the villa via our Pre-arrival Concierge.
  • Delivery Services at the villa – One of the most convenient options for beverages and food would be to order items through the concierge via Grocery Store/Liquor store Delivery services. Here in Costa Rica this is very common and has a small price tag. About $5-$10 USD per delivery for any of the items you need. You can order from a large variety of national and imported alcoholic and non-alcoholic Beverages(Snacks too!)  NOTE: *This must be paid in full at the time of arrival of the goods. No credit is offered. 
  • Bring your own beverages – Feel free to purchase beverage on the way to the villa fro the airport on one of the many grocery stores (Automercado in Jaco Waze Link or IN Quepos – Mini-price store) Waze Link – A popular option is to buy in the duty-free right outside the immigration checkpoint. 

Location, Location, Location…

Only one of the loveliest spots on Planet Earth: Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica!

Our location, just a short stroll to the beach (Rated as one of the top 12 best beaches in the world by Trip advisor!) — under a minute in our private beach buggy — but removed from the tourist bustle, is Manuel Antonio’s best. In fact, there is no other large, private villa in the region closer to the beach. And not just the beach: we’re only minutes to Manuel Antonio National Park, local spas, the best restaurants and top activities, like canopy ziplines, parasailing, hiking and catamaran sailing.

From the villa, the view stretches to tiny islands that dot the curving bay. Three types of monkeys chatter in the trees, where curious sloths also laze. Parrots, Toucans and colorful birds share the air space. This is Manuel Antonio, as seen from the picture-perfect heights of The Villa Punto de Vista Estate!

At villa punto de vista giving back to the local community  is an important part of our business.

At Villa Punto de Vista social responsibility and giving back is an important part of our success. We are proud to take part in local and international charities all over the world with some of the world’s best non-profits. (Richard Branson, WWF, Rainforest Alliance)

Locally we work with  several charities but have partners with “Pack with a purpose” in order for every guest to contribute directly to local rural families in education, conservation education and impoverished communities.

See our Pack for a purpose page here to see how you can make a difference by bringing essential items.

IT’S ALWAYS FUN TO PREPARE FOR A VACATION.. HERE IS SOME HELP. 

As any Boy Scout, it’s important to “Be Prepared” for your trip!

We want to be sure you have the best luxury vacation experience possible but are also prepared for Costa Rica’s unique tropical weather and other specifics to the country.

Casual comfort is the idea here. Breathable, light fabrics will serve you well in this tropical climate. Thin cotton or linen, airy athletic fabrics, and anything quick-dry will be assets on your adventure, as well as when packing since they’re so light and compact.

Light layers, rain jacket, convertible quick-dry pants, Sandals, and a pair of good-quality, broken-in (preferably waterproof) hiking shoes will be your best friends here. The idea is to stay comfortable by adding or removing layers! 

Packing List ideas!
