Will definitely go back - exceeded all expectations and Michael was fantastic. Beautiful house and right on a perfect beach.

Absolutely incredible place. We will be returning. The house, the staff, the food. Everything exceeded all expectations. Best trip of our families life.

Spectacular property. We've stayed at premium houses in Hawaii, Bahamas, Florida and this is right at the top. We loved everything about the house, property, location, and would come back in a heartbeat. First - the house itself. Beautifully designed house, contemporary, and wonderfully laid out. We had mom, dad, and 4 kids - each of which got their own large room and lots of room to spread out. The kitchen was a chef's dream, had every kitchen tool you could imagine, including a deep fryer... which was good because we had Gio & Mikey prepare us dinner 3 times and breakfast 3 times. You need to try this luxury - they are truly masters and made the most wonderful meals. And they were just a lot of fun to be around. Michael & his concierge team were excellent, and took care of transport, rental cars, sailing, diving, and more. When we needed help with something last minute, they took care of it. The beach was 10/10. The softest powder light gray sand. Sometimes no one on either side of us for 1000 feet. The water was warm, the waves a ton of fun - we did some surfing on site, BUT you need to be cautious of tide flows if you go out a ways. Location was excellent. Roughly half way between Jaco and Quepos, very convenient. We could get into Quepos in 30-35 min, and Manuel Antonio in another 10-15. Loved eating on the hilltop at Emilio's or Aqua Azul. A couple of great adventures; diving with Oceans Unlimited, and mangrove kayaking with Nacarcosta (monkeys!).

This property was absoutely amazing it’s hightly recommend.

Very easy check in and check out process. The staff at the house are topnotch. You won’t have to worry about a thing.

We all really enjoyed this home! Our teens didn't want to leave it! The home was incredibly beautiful, and the property manager was helpful at all times no matter what we needed. We scheduled the chefs to come in one day and make brunch and dinner for us. It was AMAZING!!!!!! I highly recommend them. The home is located about 5 minutes from a small strip center with a grocery store and restaurants. We did eat at a couple of those restaurants and the food was really good. It is about a 15 minute drive to Jaco and about 30 minutes to Manuel Antonio. We visited both towns. We had a great time.

Even before our vacation began it was a wonderful experience. Michael and Donielle respond to your every question and need immediately. They set up our airport transfers, had a rental car waiting for us at the Villa, provided us with all activity info and set up all our excursions, secured a chef for the week, and were even able to have a nurse come to the home to administer our Covid tests on New Years Day. They were full of insight and information and always just a call or text away. We had a five star experience because of them. Villa Panacea itself was gorgeous. It sits right on one of the nicest beaches in Costa Rica. We would sit each evening and watch the beautiful sunset with drinks in our hand just steps from the home. Since Covid was on the rise we opted to eat most meals in the Villa. They coordinated a chef and someone to help the chef for dinner each evening. This was top notch. Jose and Lisbeth went above and beyond to make our experience perfect. Jose cooked a four course meal each evening (appetizers, soup/salad, entree, dessert) Every night was different and catered to our likes. We couldn’t decide which was our favorite meal by the end of the week, as they were all phenomenal. Lisbeth helped Jose in the kitchen and waited on our family. She was kind and friendly and we just loved having her around. She was super attentive and was always trying to please. She would make my boys (and me…lol) chocolate shakes and my husband never had an empty drink while she was around. On New Years Eve they made a bonfire for us and my children roasted marshmallows and lit sparklers. It was the perfect end to a rough year. They definitely made our trip a memorable one. Then there was Evelyn. She was our housekeeper. As a mom of three teenage boys I have to say I truly enjoyed having her. She made us breakfast in the morning, made sure everything was always clean and tidy, and best of all she did our laundry. For me….that’s vacation! She lives nearby and was always on hand if we needed something. She was very sweet and helpful. We went on a couple excursions (atv’s and zip line) that were a lot of fun but we mostly chilled by the pool and rode boogie boards in the warm waters of the Pacific. There are plenty of other activities to do too close by, but we mostly decided to chill. They provided everything you needed for a beach perfect vaca. I highly recommend Villa Panacea for a very laid back Costa Rican vacation. Pura Vida!!
