Matapalo Vacation Rentals

"Beautiful property and accommodating, friendly staff. The view from both sides is stunning, the wildlife is abundant, and it's a great middle point in Quepos, 10-15 minutes from everything including Manuel Antonio. Air conditioning came in handy during hot and humid days, and while the ziplines were closed for maintenance, the hanging bridges were challenging and fun. Highly recommend."

"Sunset view was amazing"

"Hotel Costa Verde did not meet our expectations; it was the most expensive place we stayed in Costa Rica and we liked it the least. The biggest problem is the hotel room walls are paper thin so we could clearly hear normal volume conversations taking place in the next room as well as lots of noise from the baby and toddler, waking us up multiple times during the night and noisy throughout the day as well. You can hear doors opening and closing very loudly in the next room, too. The hotel does not provide basic coffee condiments in the room or in the lobby; I requested a simple dry packet of creamer, or a bit of milk, or anything for my coffee (coffee that I brought myself), and was told it's not provided. This is not what I expect from a 4-star hotel. The swimming pool (we went to Pool A twice) has a nice ocean view but otherwise it is a basic small square pool with discolored, old chairs and no ambiance at all. No music, no service, no umbrellas, no towels. Finally, be aware that the overall property consists of many buildings that are spread out from each other; our building in "Area D" had zero amenities; we had to either drive our rental car or request a shuttle ride if we wanted to go to the pool, go to the restaurants on the property, or get to Area E from which you can walk a steep path to the beach. The positive things about the hotel were a refrigerator and 2-burner cooktop in the room, hot water in the shower, and a nice balcony. I wouldn't stay here again."

"Si Como No is a beautiful property with helpful staff. I’d highly recommend. Hilaria and Aaron at the front desk were so kind and welcoming. We felt at home. "

"Room was clean everyday, breakfast was my favorite part. The only complaints is that the lap pool was over bleached so much that my eye were burning. It felt like I had got pepper sprayed. I had blurring vision for half the day. Really bad. Jacuzzi was working. We asked them to prepare it for us and they did but forgot to mention there. I got water. And lastly, you have to call them to open the garage door in the back. Sometimes they take a long time to answer their phone. I had to call 5 times. Very inconvenient. "

"Property was really nice pool had enough of sun and shade. Staff was wonderful. Breakfast in the morning was good overall it was a fantastic stay....."

"Pool was stunning and hospitality was superb. "

"Beautiful location with scarlet macaws and howler monkeys on site. A jungle oasis in the heart of Manuel Antonio. "

"Older hotel with a nice setting in a prime location. Facilities were a little dated but some might consider this part of the "charm". Staff was friendly and helpful. We stayed in a Family Room which was well sized for our family of 4. A couple things would make it more functional: (a) Mini-fridge -- there's no way to keep any of your own drinks/food cold, (b) Shelving/storage -- besides the floor there are few places for 4 people to put their things."
