Villa was very comfortable. Enjoyed the patio and all the visits from the monkeys. Had massages and the chef made dinner both were very good.

About the host
Hosted by Kent Thompson
This 'story' is for me, Kent, the property manager. While I'm not the owner, I used to live next door, and have known Villa Lapas since it was a rustic, studio bungalow before it's remodel / reconstruction. It's a great property in a great location!
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood is super convenient--just 5 minutes from Quepos, where you'll do any shopping, and where the marina is located.
What makes this property unique
The area is also part of a biological corridor, so the monkeys and other animals are constantly coming through.
