"Hotel Costa Verde is a great family hotel and offers lots of nice features: 3 pools (including an adult-only pool), very helpful staff, a beautiful setting near the top of the road between Quepos and Manuel Antonio National Park. It does not offer breakfast, but there is a breakfast restaurant on the property (we didn't go). The room was spacious with two beds, air conditioning that you turn on with your key (and turn off when you leave), clean, comfortable, with a closet and a safe (just in case---we didn't use it). The room was cleaned and made up for us every day. The property it large and hilly--almost labyrinthian--so the hotel provides a jeep ride to your room or to one of the nearby restaurants (such as El Avion). If you don't have a car, the hotel can feel a bit remote---but you can take a bus to Quepos (we did) very cheaply, or call for a taxi. The hotel booked a catamaran tour for us (it was fun), a marvelous mangrove tour, and a guided tour to Manuel Antonio National Park, which was extremely worthwhile. The staff helped us with our luggage both on arrival and when we departed, which I really appreciated. The hotel made us feel appreciated, and if we had had a car to give us more freedom, it would have been ideal."
