La Vela Boutique Hotel was perfect all the way around. Amazing staff, beautiful property, delicious breakfast and pizza, and super clean rooms. The best of all I think, would be the location, you could walk to the beach, shops and restaurants.
Great place with a great atmosphere. Fantastic location, just a short walk from the public beach and from the entrance to Manuel Antonio national park. The staff were super welcoming and friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Cute place, super clean rooms, close to everything
The best combination of proximity to the park, proximity to the beach, yet a quiet location with lush plantings throughout the property that make it peaceful, private and tropical. Great pool (and pool bar) with an awesome, friendly, helpful staff. Great breakfast with wonderfully local food items.
