When travelers search for a fully staffed private villa rental, they’re often met with vague promises like a “concierge” available upon request, “housekeeping” a few times a week, and “staff” who may or may not appear.
At Villa Punto de Vista Estate, a fully-staffed villa in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, we’ve operated differently for nearly 20 years. Our fully-staffed private villa rental includes a dedicated 24/7 professional hospitality team, with the service quality of a five-star boutique hotel and the privacy of an exclusive estate reserved only for your group.
The amenities and services included in a fully-staffed villa experience at Villa Punto de Vista include:
With nearly 20 years of experience operating a luxury staffed villa, we’ve designed an experience where every detail, every service, and every comfort is accounted for before you even think to ask.
Below is a complete breakdown of everything included in your stay, organized into three sections: amenities included in your fully-staffed private villa, services included with your fully-staffed private villa, and optional add-on services available to customize your luxury villa experience.
Every physical amenity on the estate is included at no additional cost and exclusive to your group.
Pools & Outdoor Amenities
Laundry & Essentials
Entertainment, Wellness, & Game Rooms

Infrastructure, Accessibility, & Reliability
This is where Villa Punto de Vista truly differentiates itself from other luxury villas in Costa Rica and internationally. A fully staffed villa means a dedicated, professional hospitality team serving only your group. Not shared, not part-time, and not on-call only. It's a distinction worth scrutinizing. Many properties market themselves as "fully staffed," only for guests to discover a skeleton crew, rotating contractors, or service that falls short of the promise. At Villa Punto de Vista, that gap between marketing and reality simply doesn't exist — what you're told is what you experience.
Pre-Arrival Concierge
A Costa Rica expert who coordinates every detail before you arrive: transportation (private luxury van with bilingual driver, charter flights, helicopter transfers), tour and activity bookings, spa service reservations, kitchen pre-stocking at retail cost, dietary restriction management, room assignments, overflow hotel bookings, wedding planner matching, and special occasion planning
Estate Manager
Your anchor throughout the stay, overseeing housekeeping, security, and maintenance teams; serves as your primary point of contact and doubles as butler and bartender when needed
On-Site Butler & Bartender
Your right-hand host, preparing Villa Punto de Vista signature cocktails, handling dining recommendations and reservations, coordinating takeout delivery, restocking the kitchen, and reachable anytime via the Apple FaceTime-enabled iPads in every room ("The Butler Button")
Breakfast Chef
Prepares a complimentary made-to-order gourmet breakfast daily on the Dining Terrace: freshly baked goods with locally sourced cocoa and vanilla, Costa Rican favorites (gallo pinto, fried plantains), American dishes (pancakes, bacon, eggs to order), fresh tropical fruit, single-origin coffee from a female-owned Costa Rican cooperative, and bottomless passion fruit champagne mimosas
Sommelier
A certified, globally-trained sommelier on staff who leads guided wine tastings from our on-site wine cellar, curates pairings for your dinner menus, and shares insights on international vintages and Costa Rican labels (stay dates can be coordinated to align with sommelier availability)

Bilingual Staff & Instant Communication
English and Spanish-speaking team, trained in five-star anticipatory service, with WhatsApp group communication and Apple FaceTime iPads in every room and social area for instant butler service — no front desk, no hold times
To elevate your stay even further, your concierge team can arrange and fully coordinate additional services, including, but not limited to:
Services available at additional cost, coordinated in advance through your pre-arrival concierge.
A true fully staffed villa includes a dedicated team (concierge, housekeeping, chefs, butlers, drivers, and security), along with amenities like private pools, event spaces, and daily service—designed to replicate a five-star hotel experience in a private setting.
A staffed villa may include part-time housekeeping, a butler for part of the day, or a single on-call attendant. A fully-staffed villa like Villa Punto de Vista operates with a complete hospitality team on property. This includes a pre-arrival concierge, estate manager, butlers, housekeeping, maintenance, grounds crew, and 24/7 security all dedicated exclusively to your group.
At Villa Punto de Vista, daily gourmet breakfast is included. Additional chef services for lunch, dinner, or events can be arranged.
