Parador Nature Resort and Spa

Manuel Antonio

10/10 Excellent

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...

Ronny's Flat Manuel Antonio

Manuel Antonio

10/10 Excellent

We absolutely loved our stay at Ronny’s! Just off the main road, it felt private and safe. The staff were incredibly friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The rooms are clean and on the smaller side, as advertised, which was completely fine for us. The restaurant serves as the main hub of activity, with the rooms just across the way. This isn’t a traditional hotel setup with a lobby or gym, but that’s part of the charm. Coming back from the beach and heading straight to your room...

La Vela Boutique Hotel

Manuel Antonio

10/10 Excellent

My sister and I spent three nights at the hotel. We had an outstanding experience. The room and bathroom were modern and spotless and the beds comfortable. The room was a bit on the small side, but adequate. The staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating, whether it was to make reservations, get taxis, or even to get an excellent physical therapist/masseuse in on Christmas Day to help relieve the pain from a pinched nerve in my neck. The included breakfast by the pool had a nice...

This was a lovely resort. We stayed in the vista suites building. There was an adults only pool with a waterfall adjacent and many times no one was in it. The ground are so spacious that there was always room. We played miniature golf without waiting and many times were on the trail with no one around. It was lovely, and the breakfast was fresh and abundant. The service was also friendly and quick. There are sloths that live in the mango trees by the pool. They were always there. We saw...

Tico Tico was the ideal place for our two-week stay while we attended Spanish School in Quepos. We stayed in villa #12 which was exactly as shown in the photos. It was spacious, clean, and had a great open, modern aesthetic. And A/C!!! Having the kitchen was fantastic. We used the stove every day to cook eggs for breakfasts, and when we didn't want to eat out for lunch and dinner, we made sandwiches and salads. They even provided a hot water kettle so we could make coffee and tea. The location...
