It was great having the beach and being close to the park. The room was simple, nothing fancy but the a/c worked well and the garden was well maintained. It's higher priced for the location and beach access.

We absolutely loved this hotel! It was like paradise! The staff were super friendly and super helpful. The pool and the beach and the restaurant were all amazing. The rooms were great. We had booked a room up the hill and were offered an upgrade when we got there for a reasonable fee and we were so glad we made the change. We will definitely be back to this wonderful hotel!

Great property. Would be much better if they had microwaves and coffee maker in room. Prices at the restaurant are way too expensive. Everything else is great, the location, wildlife, and beach is amazing.

Right at the beach, walking distance from Manuel Antonio National Park; beautiful gardens where you could spot white-faced monkeys and birds. Reserve a room in the main building for better views and quick access to the beach. Excellent restaurant and service.

We stayed in room #7 and it was a steep climb up the stairs, but the views made it worth it. Rooms were basic with 2 beds, sitting chair, mini fridge, and bathroom. No TV but did not want one with so much to do. WiFi worked great. Breakfast was included and was perfect. Pool was very nice. Restaurant had good menu options and the staff was super nice. Beach chairs and umbrellas provided too.

My twenty year old daughter and I had a wonderful stay at Karahe Beach Hotel. The property is beautiful. The restaurant was excellent. The property is on two sides of the road. We did upgrade to be on the beach side of the property which was more convenient being closer to the pool and restaurant. We even saw a sloth and white faced Monkeys on the property. The beach is beautiful. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

This was our first trip to Costa Rica and this hotel and the staff made it a trip we will never forget. The staff (and everybody in general) were so friendly and helpful. The monkeys and iguanas were everywhere and made my boys smile. Lot's of wildlife all day and night. The view from the rooms in the individual cabins on the hill are incredible. The stairs to get to them is a bit of an exercise, but worth the view in my opinion. I'm sure there are other great hotels in the area, but when we come back I plan on staying here again. Pura Vida Excellente!!!

I almost hate to review this property because I love it so much. The KEY is to reserve a room in the white building on the ocean side of the road. This last time we were in the building above the road, where there's a lot of road noise and the air conditioning didn't work right (there was water literally pooling on the floor). The second night we moved down the hill to the white building and were very happy. The amazing thing about this hotel is it's right on the best part of Espadilla beach and there are lovely gardens and mature trees, so I've seen sloths and monkeys just on the grounds. The restaurant overlooks the beach and they have tables and chairs on the beach. It's an older hotel, so a little worn around the edges, but that's why they have such a prime location. About a 30 min walk down the beach to the entrance to Manuel Antonio National Park. It's quieter than the crush of hotels that are right by the park. Staff at the hotel are very nice and helpful! Still our first choice for Manuel Antonio.

I enjoyed staying at this resort. My room was higher up on the hill which was a flight of stairs to get there. But it was tranquil to be surrounded by nature including seeing monkeys swinging through the trees and iguanas roaming in the terrain. I missed having a Tv for night downtime or distraction. The resort’s restaurant, pool, and beach were about a five to ten minute walk from the hillside rooms.
