One of three locations on our trip through Costa Rica, Many's House stood out as a unique, magical accommodation for our family. We stayed in the "Rustica" cabin for 4 nights in December and cannot say enough about the experience. The cabin was spotless and very spacious (larger than we needed), the views from our private deck were spectacular, and... More

Our family traveled to Many's House last January and we created the most wonderful family memories. 10 months later, our kids ages 15, 13, and 10 keep asking to return. Many was an incredible host - even raiding his medicince cabinets when our son had an allergic reaction. The views were spectacular and we felt entirely "removed" though amenities such... More

We have stayed at Many's House previously and it was a great experience. We stayed a week in the Eco-cabon this time and we really enjoyed it. It is the least expensive of the 4 cabins. It has 2 bedrooms, although we only needed one, fast internet, and amazing ocean views. The kitchen made it very convenient so we didn't... More

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
