What a find. Wife and I were looking for our place to “crash” the day after Christmas while en route from La Fortuna to Manuel Antonio Beach. Everything was booked as you might imagine during tourist high-season, but this property had the always-alluring “last room left” tag beckoning us to click. As we generally have 3.5 - 4 star taste while traveling, we thought this would be a standard room. Boy were we wrong - it was magic. Two bedrooms!! It’s own nature trail, butterfly garden and on-site...

I gave this 5 stars because I have no doubt this was the best property in the area. The views are incredible and you are looking at the ocean while you are in the jungle. The free breakfast was a highlight for our family as we all spent time together eating both local and (US) standards. The dinners were equally delicious. To our surprise, the gift shop prices were very reasonable. That said, if you are expecting the kind of 5 star hotel you see in the States you might be disappointed. You might...

This place is an absolute gem. Just a few minutes drive away from the busy main road . It offers majestic 360 views, serene atmosphere, wonderful stuff, and an amazing private park with trails, hanging bridges and wildlife. My kids loved it! The property is clean and offers privacy. We hope to return. 🌴🙂

From check in to check out, by far, this is the best Boutique Hotel in Manuel Antonio. Once you arrived, after a long drive from the airport, their friendly staff helps you settle into that “Pura Vida state of mind”
Large modern clean rooms with high ceilings and comfortable beds, oh and smart too. About the gardens and the swimming pool..?! Treat your self and book a room at this beautiful place!
And please be nice to the staff!

Tico Tico was the ideal place for our two-week stay while we attended Spanish School in Quepos. We stayed in villa #12 which was exactly as shown in the photos. It was spacious, clean, and had a great open, modern aesthetic. And A/C!!! Having the kitchen was fantastic. We used the stove every day to cook eggs for breakfasts, and when we didn't want to eat out for lunch and dinner, we made sandwiches and salads. They even provided a hot water kettle so we could make coffee and tea.

The room was a bit on the small side, but adequate. The staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating, whether it was to make reservations, get taxis, or even to get an excellent physical therapist/masseuse in on Christmas Day to help relieve the pain from a pinched nerve in my neck.

A beautiful resort hidden on a winding dirt road atop a hill set among the trees and wildlife with an exceptional view of the Pacific Ocean below. This resort recently opened to the public in January 2024. Upon arrival we were immediately relaxed and at peace, secure in the knowledge that we’d booked a great spot to enjoy Costa Rica. It’s a bed and breakfast style in the sense that breakfast was included each day. Our room was spacious and modern with a luxurious bed facing out toward nature and...

Beautiful surroundings; our room was secluded and in the midst of what appeared to be a jungle/forest. we relaxed in a hammock on our patio while we saw birds, lizards and monkeys. the pool was refreshing and enhanced by the daily happy hour two for one specials which were well crafted. staff was attentive and friendly and the restaurant had good selections.

I loved this property; it was perfect for our 5-day break over Christmas in December 2018. There are 5 cabins, in a row, in an absolutely beautiful garden with lush tropical plants and flowers, and there is a restaurant attached, which has a wonderful ambiance, and which serves really great Mexican food, using fresh, local and home-cooked ingredients (cooked by Frederico). Anja and Frederico are excellent hosts. Anja really went above and beyond in serving us: she got up early to get us...

The staff at the hotel was amazing - so helpful and friendly. Our rooms were cleaned daily with a different little animal made from towels each day. The pool was warm and clean, and we watched the monkeys play in the trees and toucans and macaws fly around. Walkable to the beach, many restaurants, shops, and Manuel Antonio national park. I would definitely stay there again
