Dulce Nombre

"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...

Hotel Plaza Yara

8/10 Good

"Really nice place to stay with family. Good breakfast, very quiet and"

Igloo Beach Lodge

8/10 Good

"Is well located, rooms clean. You can walk to the beach, which super convenient."

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!"

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."
