My family and I stayed here for 6 nights and had the most amazing time! The property is absolutely gorgeous, peaceful, and just the right amount of isolation in the mountains. The staff was incredibly nice and accommodating, always checking to make sure you're having a great time. The excursions were fantastic, we highly recommend the white water rafting! I took my 6 year old daughter on it, and felt very safe with the expertise of our guides. If you are looking for a true getaway in nature,...

700 meter unpaved road shouldn't dissuade you from this oasis.Everything about it was great; staff warm and helpful, rooms are clean and worth double the price; great food at the restaurant.

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...

What a beautiful hotel overlooking the jungle and the ocean. Very close to shops and restaurants. Breakfast was delicious. Our only complaint is the hot tub was only like warm.

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 property is very relaxed and welcoming. The staff are highly attentive and really take care of you while you are on site. The addition of the animal sanctuary makes it a very eco-friendly destination.
We stayed for one week during which the surrounding jungle and wildlife were the stars of the show.

My wife and I spent a wonderful two nights at this resort. We got there late the first night and the staff was very helpful in checking us in and planning the next days activities. We enjoyed a late dinner out on the patio overlooking the ocean. Our room was very spacious and immaculate. The next day, we woke to a breathtaking ocean view from the room. We were also awakened by the sound of Howler monkeys far off in the Manuel Antonio Park. The breakfast buffet foods were delicious and the...

I had a really delightful stay here. It’s in a beautiful place, easily accessible by taxi. I was lucky enough to get upgraded to a jungle view room and had monkeys visit me every day on the balcony. My only critique was that the food was unimpressive. Breakfast was disappointing and the dinner was rather bland and underseasoned and a bit over priced. But I took a taxi into town for the second night and had a great meal there.

The very best thing about this hotel is its location, a short walk from the national park and the beach. Our room's balcony provided a great spot to watch wildlife and listen to the nighttime symphony of forest sounds. Absolutely amazing! The staff was professional, friendly, accommodating and tolerated our bad Spanish with grace, though all were fluent in English. Our daughter loved the towel sculptures left on the bed each day, and the staff even put her stuffed animal in the center of a towel...

Costa Verde exceeded my expectatjons. It looked nice from the pics but when we got there it was so much better. Our room had a full size fridge, cook top, microwave. The beds were comfy, and a nice big shower. The best was the balcony overlooking the ocean. Just beautiful views. And the monkeys! They cam around to visit almost every morning to our balcony.

This was a lovely resort. We stayed in the vista suites building. There was an adults only pool with a waterfall adjacent and many times no one was in it. The ground are so spacious that there was always room. We played miniature golf without waiting and many times were on the trail with no one around. It was lovely, and the breakfast was fresh and abundant. The service was also friendly and quick. There are sloths that live in the mango trees by the pool. They were always there. We saw...

Everything about Hotel Makanda was perfect. We looked at a ton of pictures of the property before we left for our trip, but they didn't do it justice. We were very impressed with the attention to detail on every design aspect of the property.

This is a really great facility, and I would recommend this highly. It feels like home and resort-ish all in one. The rooms are clean and cleaned daily. The kitchens were good for prepping meals from good at the local markets.
It is off the main Manuel Antonio park strip. Having a car is very very good to get around, but not essential. There's a lt of transportation into the park. You can walk to local Quepoa beaches and the marina.

Issimo suites was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Beautiful, intimate rooms with exquisite views are paired with a warm and friendly staff. The receptionists were helpful and a delight. The wait staff were responsive and courteous, knowing when to leave you some space when you are gazing off into the lovely night sky. The hotel's chef (chefs?) prepared delicious meals and the menu is varied and surprisingly large considering the size of the establishment.

Absolutely beautiful place! The property is even more stunning in person, surrounded by nature with such a peaceful and romantic atmosphere. What really made our stay special, though, was the staff.
