We fell in love with Many's House. It truly is La Joya de Baellna! If you want to see toucans, this is the best place on Earth. The toucans fly back and forth across this magical valley all day long. They are mostly active in the morning and evening. At most, at one time we would see 10 toucans. There... More

We spent 4 days in the "Villa Rustica". It is nicely equipped with everything needed to prepare nice meals. The place, which has an excellent view of Ballena Bay, is surrounded by beautiful gardens. The host, Many, always makes sure that all your requirements are met. It is important to point out that eventhough Many's House has only 4 villas,... More

What makes Many's House so great is that not everyone can stay here--there are only four nicely equiped casitas and a lovely pool perched high above the Pacific with fantastic views of the ocean and jungle. Tucans, parrots and monkeys provide lots of background entertainment. Many is the perfect host--very knowledgeable of the area and there to see to your... More

We visited other hotels in the area, and came to conclusion that Many's House is probably the best choice in Ballena. When you rent from Many, for the price of a tiny cabin in an "ecolodge" you get a spacious house with a large terrace having incredible ocean view. All houses are fully furnished, have equipped kitchens, A/C, ceiling fans,... More

We rented Villa Piedra for 4 days. The house was a one bedroom with kitchen, living room, and bath. Our favorite part of the house was our large balcony that faced the west. Every night we sat and sipped wine while watching the sun reflect on the ocean and the clouds change colors. It was amazing. I have never stayed... More

Located high on a hillside in the Uvita area. Very quiet and private with wonderful sweeping views of the Pacific. Many has four small houses of different sizes, all fully equipped for comfortable housekeeping. He lives on the premises and checks in regularly. My wife and I stayed here for two days after being disappointed at a neighboring "Ecolodge". For... More

Would recommend Manys to anyone! The veiws,wildlife,sunsets and jungle setting are the best we've experienced in Costa Rica.Many is very friendly and helpful giving all kinds of valuable tips in planning your days adventure. The grounds, pool and houses are all impecably kept.. We will return and stay longer! Can't wait.

The sunsets and bird-watching were amazing. Toucans, parrots, and a variety of other native birds produced daily entertainment as they paraded past our deck, while the howler monkeys provided the background chorus. Delightful! The luxury one bedroom bungalow with full kitchen facilities, spacious living area and large deck was modern, clean and comfortable. We appreciated the pristine, large pool and... More
