Costa Ballena
Pool builders in Manuel Antonio and Uvita.
The south Pacific: Quepos, Manuel Antonio, Dominical, Uvita and Ojochal — jungle, slope and ocean views.
What we do.
With our own crew, anywhere in the country.
Design and construction
Site visit, 3D design and reinforced-concrete structure with engineering calculations. 8 to 12 weeks for a residential pool.
Infinity and vanishing edges
Edge levelled to the millimetre, catch basin and surge tank. It is what gets asked for wherever there is an ocean view.
Finishes
Eleven finishes: glass-ceramic mosaic, natural stone — Sukabumi and Green Bio-tile — and structural glass.
Remote maintenance
Scheduled visits and a documented system, for when the owner does not live in the country.
What has to be solved here.
A pool is not built the same way everywhere.
Jungle and steep slope
View lots sit on steep, heavily vegetated hillside. The structure is calculated for soil pressure and the build is planned around limited machinery access.
Rain and organic load
The south Pacific gets far more rain than Guanacaste and leaf falls all year. The skimmer is sized larger, an automatic cleaner earns its keep, and service is scheduled differently.
Rental homes sold on the view
Much of the work is for rental property where the view is the product. An infinity edge against the jungle is what gets asked for, and it is what gets photographed.
