"The front desk did not have our reservation and we waited outside a locked gate in a rainstorm for about 10 min. The reception was not warm. We felt like an inconvenience. Even though they have a restaurant it was closed until breakfast. They offered to drive us to town (far away) for dinner. They did not have enough seats in the vehicle for our group so we stayed in and skipped dinner. I think for young locals it’s a great place for family with thermal pools, lake, river and nature. For older...

"Beautiful oasis next to the beach. This was the perfect place to spend our honeymoon! Every morning we walked the beach then rinsed off and took a dip in the pool. We were so spoiled being served breakfast every morning to start our day. We were just as happy to stay locally as we were to travel. We saw birds, monkeys, even a raccoon! The room was spacious and we could enjoy the sounds of nature through the windows or close them and use AC. Every day was paradise. The owners were so lovely and...

Apartotel & Suites Villas del Rio

10/10 Excellent

"Buena ubicación, muy limpio cómodo, buen trato, nos gustó mucho espero volver pronto gracias por todo."

La Mariposa Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at La Mariposa Hotel in Manuel Antonio was phenomenal and, so far, our favourite stay in Costa Rica! The views throughout the property were incredible, and the entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. The staff at the front desk were welcoming and helpful, and the service throughout our stay was excellent. The pools were clean and well-maintained, and the breakfast was fantastic, with plenty of options for everyone in the family. We were lucky enough to see the resident sloth a couple of times, and squirrel monkeys also passed by during our stay. These wildlife encounters made the experience even more special. Between the beautiful views, excellent service, great breakfast, lovely pools, and wildlife, La Mariposa made our stay truly memorable. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Manuel Antonio!"

Posada El Quijote

10/10 Excellent

"Great view and location. Friendly staff. Great value for the money."

Hotel San Bada Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay. Room was clean and staff were super nice. Never felt unsafe walking around as a solo traveler. Very easy access to beach and park. Food was delicious and very pretty views. Only thing I noticed was pools could have used a little more cleaning as there was leaves and things in them. Hard to avoid though outside! Would highly recommend!"

Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio

10/10 Excellent

"SOOOO SO MUCH FUN!! it was our first getaway out of the country and we couldn’t have been more impressed!! They planned all our excursions for us making the stress on us SOOO much less!! They treated us so well and were so much fun!! Such a beautiful country to experience and thanks to them, we got to experience so much!! If you love nature and wildlife and adventure THIS is the country to go to!! JUST BE RESPECTFUL!! Love love loved the hotel and all that came with it!! we will definitely be back!!"

Gaia Hotel And Reserve - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Hello, My wife and I stayed here for 4 days. The service was incredible, breakfast included , and they even upgraded our room. Would recommend anyone to stay here if they never have visited Costa Rica. The staff provided great service and recommendations. It felt like I was in the show White Lotus lol"

Hotel Naoz

10/10 Excellent

"Me gustó todo de este alojamiento, nos recibieron con una bebida refrescante ideal por el calor del lugar, las habitaciones cómodas, limpias y permiten descansar plácidamente. El desayuno con variedad y preparado al momento, muy rico, lo mismo que las otras opciones del menú. Se ubica a pocos minutos del parque nacional. Recomiendo el lugar sin duda alguna, volvería todas las veces a este alojamiento, no hablo solo por mi sino por el grupo de 6 personas que éramos."

Hotel La Posada and Jungle

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great place to stay in Manuel Antonio. It is a 2 minute walk to the national park. We had a delicious included breakfast. The rooms were clean and fine for our family of 5. Ronny at the front desk was super helpful and friendly. He gave us so many tips for dining, going to the national park and parking. He also kept our luggage safely at the front desk so we didn’t have to leave it in the car when we were in the park. You will need to park across the street and down a small side street from the hotel but it wasn’t an issue for us."
