Igloo Beach Lodge

Igloo Beach Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"I knew I was going to love this place and I did! The rooms are cool and so different. The pool and grounds are immaculate. Everyone that works there is so friendly! I had a problem with my car rental and the guy at the front desk offered any help he could. There is only ONE tiny issue I had, but no big deal at all. They have a decorative mosquito netting over your bed which is so nice, but the frame blocks the tv, so whatever angle on the bed you lay, you can’t really watch tv. Like I said not a big deal, and oh, the BEACH! Not even a 5 minute walk to the most amazing beach!"

10/10 Excellent
"I don't even know where to start. This place was PERFECTION! The staff in the entire hotel was incredibly friendly and helpful, I feel that they are all our friends now. The food at the restaurant is amazing, people come visit from outside the hotel just to dine at the restaurant. The pools are sooo nice, and that is a highlight for me because my husband hates getting into pools, I literally had never seen him enjoy a pool the was he did in this hotel. We didn't have to share it with other guests when we went in and it just feels very peaceful and the views are breathtaking. The day we checked out I literally thought he would not get out of the pool so we could leave. The servers at the restaurant and pool bar were very nice and we enjoyed having conversations with them, Abraham, Anthony and Ricardo. The bell guys, the tour guide, our concierge, it just feels like they're all a family. The room was super comfortable and spacious, we had a view even from the shower with a giant window, plus a balcony and a huge rooftop for ourselves. They offer a complimentary tour of the property that is about 6 acres of preserved forest where you can see monkeys, sloths, scarlet macaws, among many other birds and species."

Mountain Top Park Hotel

Mountain Top Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The views from Mountain Top are incredible. We could see monkeys, toucans, macaws and more from our balcony and the hotel's restaurant. It's so close to the national park but has its own jungle on site. Jose, the hotel's wildlife guide, was fab - he took us on two guided tours and wad always excited to spot animals and tell us more about them. Would definitely recommend this hotel if travelling to Manuel Antonio and try to book the ocean view if you can"
