"Lamangata is a first class resort, with the highlights being the healthy delicious food, kind and attentive staff, luxurious room and extraordinary views. If you are a beginner or intermediate surfer, Lamangata is an excellent choice. I am a low intermediate level surfer and received helpful instruction. My wife is not a surfer, but enjoyed the hotel’s other offering such as yoga, pool and hiking. Initially, we were not sure if we would like the family style dining arrangement, but ended up...

Everything was absolutely perfect from the moment we arrived. We were greeted by Lettika who gave us a tour of the B&B and introduced us to the onsite sloth lounging in the tree. She was always available for any questions. Our room was gorgeous and very clean with a beautiful screened patio. We were able to walk to the beach within 3 min and ran across a group of Macaws munching on almonds in a tree along with monkeys. The property is absolutely beautiful and the continental breakfast was our...

Note**** They are a cash business or they take Zelle (I missed that upon booking). This is a very charming, well-maintained, and secure property. We initially stayed in a cabina without air conditioning, but after the first night we upgraded to a room with A/C, which made our stay even more comfortable. The staff were outstanding—friendly, attentive, and excellent with communication throughout our visit. Our room was consistently clean, and the quality of the linens and towels was especially...

My family and I stayed here for 6 nights and had the most amazing time! The property is absolutely gorgeous, peaceful, and just the right amount of isolation in the mountains. The staff was incredibly nice and accommodating, always checking to make sure you're having a great time. The excursions were fantastic, we highly recommend the white water rafting! I took my 6 year old daughter on it, and felt very safe with the expertise of our guides. If you are looking for a true getaway in nature,...

Such a magical environment, all the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Allen’s passion for the forest and animals is contagious and encyclopaedic ; we learned so much. The property is surrounded by beautiful forests in all directions, and you eat breakfast watching hummingbirds and toucans. It’s truly incredible. Our car broke down around 7km before arriving to the lodge and Allen and his team could not have been more helpful or friendly. They kindly came and met us, helped jumpstart the car,...

What a find. Wife and I were looking for our place to “crash” the day after Christmas while en route from La Fortuna to Manuel Antonio Beach. Everything was booked as you might imagine during tourist high-season, but this property had the always-alluring “last room left” tag beckoning us to click. As we generally have 3.5 - 4 star taste while traveling, we thought this would be a standard room. Boy were we wrong - it was magic. Two bedrooms!! It’s own nature trail, butterfly garden and on-site...

I loved this property; it was perfect for our 5-day break over Christmas in December 2018. There are 5 cabins, in a row, in an absolutely beautiful garden with lush tropical plants and flowers, and there is a restaurant attached, which has a wonderful ambiance, and which serves really great Mexican food, using fresh, local and home-cooked ingredients (cooked by Frederico). Anja and Frederico are excellent hosts. Anja really went above and beyond in serving us: she got up early to get us...

A beautiful resort hidden on a winding dirt road atop a hill set among the trees and wildlife with an exceptional view of the Pacific Ocean below. This resort recently opened to the public in January 2024. Upon arrival we were immediately relaxed and at peace, secure in the knowledge that we’d booked a great spot to enjoy Costa Rica. It’s a bed and breakfast style in the sense that breakfast was included each day. Our room was spacious and modern with a luxurious bed facing out toward nature and...

I gave this 5 stars because I have no doubt this was the best property in the area. The views are incredible and you are looking at the ocean while you are in the jungle. The free breakfast was a highlight for our family as we all spent time together eating both local and (US) standards. The dinners were equally delicious. To our surprise, the gift shop prices were very reasonable. That said, if you are expecting the kind of 5 star hotel you see in the States you might be disappointed. You might...
