"The house was unexpectedly nice. We thoroughly enjoyed the cool (unheated) but not cold, jacuzzi pool after a long hot day in Manuel Antonio park. This is a nice place, but they really, really, need to let folks know that this place is very remote and the road is very bad. Great if you want to bring everything and just stay there, but it is a 45 minute drive on bad, unlit roads to come or go from the lodge. We could see several places where the hillside had given way into the road and one...

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!"
