"This is a beautiful open air screened in home way way up the mountains, in the clouds. If you’re looking for an all-inclusive “hoity-toity” resort, this is not for you. This is for those of us who love nature and the outdoors, and the chance to drive up the side of a rocky mountain road to reach it. Both sunrise and sunset are phenomenal here, with the birds, singing, and the rain falling softly. It is a perfect escape.The home is spacious and well maintained. The kitchen was easy to cook in and had plenty of pots, pans plates, etc. There was lots of room for our group of young people to spread out, play games, or have some quiet time.The beds were comfortable, and with the fans on we even got cold in the evenings.Deborah was the epitome of a perfect host, and combined with help from Jose, who took us on a horse ride to the waterfall, we felt extremely well cared for.We had exactly the experience we hoped for enjoying nature and everything that the beautiful mountain forest of Costa Rica have to offer."

Gaia Collection Hotels - Adults only

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Gaia Hotel & Reserve was wonderful, but what truly made it exceptional was the outstanding level of service. From the moment we arrived, we were incredibly impressed by the warmth, professionalism, and genuine attentiveness of the entire staff. You can tell that providing exceptional service is part of the culture of this hotel. Everyone made us feel welcomed, cared for, and completely at ease throughout our stay. A few people especially stood out: Chris at the front desk and concierge was fantastic—always attentive, knowledgeable, and ready to help. Oscar was wonderful from the moment we arrived, helping with our luggage and transporting us around the property with such kindness and a great attitude. The restaurant staff was equally impressive, especially Abraham and Jack, along with the rest of the team, who were consistently warm, helpful, and attentive. The property itself is beautiful, but for us, the people were the true highlight. Exceptional hospitality and a level of service that we will absolutely remember. Thank you to the entire Gaia team for making our stay in Manuel Antonio so special!"

Boutique Hotel Las Cascadas The Falls

10/10 Excellent

"I chose a specific hotel for our family’s jungle experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the hotel was clean and well-maintained. They offered a variety of options for exploring the city, including local restaurants and businesses. The food was delicious, and the hotel had a relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere. We even got to meet the owner and learn more about the hotel’s history and philosophy. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Costa Rica."

Gaia Hotel And Reserve - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"I don't even know where to start. This place was PERFECTION! The staff in the entire hotel was incredibly friendly and helpful, I feel that they are all our friends now. The food at the restaurant is amazing, people come visit from outside the hotel just to dine at the restaurant. The pools are sooo nice, and that is a highlight for me because my husband hates getting into pools, I literally had never seen him enjoy a pool the was he did in this hotel. We didn't have to share it with other guests when we went in and it just feels very peaceful and the views are breathtaking. The day we checked out I literally thought he would not get out of the pool so we could leave. The servers at the restaurant and pool bar were very nice and we enjoyed having conversations with them, Abraham, Anthony and Ricardo. The bell guys, the tour guide, our concierge, it just feels like they're all a family. The room was super comfortable and spacious, we had a view even from the shower with a giant window, plus a balcony and a huge rooftop for ourselves. They offer a complimentary tour of the property that is about 6 acres of preserved forest where you can see monkeys, sloths, scarlet macaws, among many other birds and species."
