Villa Tortuga: Ocean Views Chef Included, Daily Housekeeping & Concierge Service

Welcome to Villa Tortuga, a luxury ocean-view vacation villa in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, where personalized service, breathtaking wildlife, and unforgettable sunsets create the perfect tropical getaway.

Designed for families, couples traveling together, milestone celebrations, and small groups, Villa Tortuga comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests in 4 bedrooms. A private 5th bedroom Casita with its own bathroom can be added for an additional $85 per night, increasing occupancy to 12 guests.

One of the things that sets Villa Tortuga apart is our dedicated villa team. Unlike many vacation rentals that charge extra for chef services, Villa Tortuga includes a dedicated chef, daily housekeeping, and personal concierge service to help make your vacation effortless.

Chef Ricardo is available exclusively for Villa Tortuga guests and prepares breakfast and dinner Monday through Saturday. His chef services are included in your rental rate whether you choose to use them or not. Guests who enjoy chef-prepared meals pay only for groceries, which are purchased based on their preferences and paid directly to the store.

Meals are customized around your group's preferences, dietary restrictions, allergies, and special occasions. If your group prefers to dine out, cook for yourselves, or use Chef Ricardo's services only occasionally, that is completely your choice. There is no requirement to purchase groceries or utilize chef services during your stay, and the rental rate remains the same whether you use the chef or not.

Hisolda provides daily housekeeping service, ensuring the villa remains clean, comfortable, and ready for you to enjoy throughout your stay.

Jessica, your personal concierge, is available before and during your vacation to assist with rental cars, airport transportation, grocery pre-stocking, private spa services, massages, fishing charters, catamaran cruises, zip-lining adventures, ATV tours, restaurant reservations, special celebrations, and much more. From the moment you book until the day you depart, Jessica is there to help create a seamless Costa Rica experience.

Please note that Chef Ricardo and Hisolda arrive daily to provide services and then depart, allowing guests complete privacy to enjoy the villa.

This was the vacation of a lifetime. The location was fabulous and we enjoyed a variety of activities while there for 6 days. The property is a dream (we rented the Glover suite at an additional cost—this was a reasonable add on and very worth it!). The views, comfy beds, amazing pool and deck are among the stand outs. And we won’t ever forget the caring, talented humans who took care of us—Hisolda, Ricardo, Alba and Jess. Chefs: your food lives on in our dreams!

If we could give this property and our family vacation a 20, we all agree it’s just that good. We had an amazing time, traveling with 8 adults and 2 kiddos. From Ricardo, the very talented and accommodating chef, to the staff who keep the place in tip top shape, to Jessica’s attentiveness as our personal concierge…we fell in love with Villa Tortuga and Costa Rica. This may very well be a destination we repeat for our big family vacation in the future. Thank you to all who made our week so extra special!

This is a fantastic property in a fantastic location. Beautiful views, excellent staff! It is in a great location and walkable to several shops and restaurants and the bus line which is very easy to use. We used the bus every day. This property is equipped with every modern amenity imaginable. The pool is perfect with its peaceful waterfall. It has a little bit of sun and a little bit of shade. Perfect for everyone. Comfortable sleeping arrangements and every room has a clean and modern bathroom. The house is designed for large groups, but there are plenty of perfect places to retreat to for quiet time as well. A special mention to Chef Ricardo and his wife Alba! Every meal made was beyond amazing! We all probably gained 5 pounds enjoying his creations. Also, another special mention to Hisolda, the housekeeper, who was so sweet! I enjoyed meeting her and practicing my Spanish with her every day. 5 star property all the way!

Villa Tortuga is a lovely property. Views are beautiful and there is lots of space to spread out, including large ones to be together. Our family of grandparents, parents and teen age kids loved the house. Chef Ricardo and his wife, Alba made incredible meals for us. The house is well situated for visiting the park, the beach and many other activities. I would highly recommend staying here.

Our stay at Villa Tortuga was perfection! The villa has breathtaking views. Loved waking up to watch the sunrise and listen to the howler monkeys. The sunsets were gorgeous too! The layout of the home was perfect for our group! Ricardo and his wife were so kind and provided great meals for us! They were open to our suggestions, very flexible when we would message them about changes or additions to the meal. Their service was definitely 5 star! Jessica was fantastic in helping us plan our excursions before the trip and transportation to and from the airport. She typed up a well organized itinerary with all the info we needed. The tour companies she used were amazing! Zero complaints. Life long memories made!Lastly, we saw a lot of wildlife from the home! Macaws loved to hang out in the trees, saw monkeys at the house and on the same street! There was a tree down the road that toucans sometimes hung out on and we even saw whales from the pool deck!Our time in Costa Rica was magical and one of our favorite trips ever. Thank you Villa Tortuga!
