"Lamangata was absolutely amazing! I stayed there for a work trip as a corporate pilot and my copilot also stayed there. While we were technically there for work it did not feel that way, but more so a paid vacation. I really enjoyed the relaxed home-like atmosphere where the whole resort is truly your home. The Playa Dominicalito room has such a beautiful view from the balcony. Even more amazing was the quality of the food. Every meal was cooked from scratch with local organic fruits,...

Top Barú Hotel Reviews

Hotel Plaza Yara

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful room, great location, helpful staff"

La Mariposa Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at La Mariposa Hotel in Manuel Antonio was phenomenal and, so far, our favourite stay in Costa Rica! The views throughout the property were incredible, and the entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. The staff at the front desk were welcoming and helpful, and the service throughout our stay was excellent. The pools were clean and well-maintained, and the breakfast was fantastic, with plenty of options for everyone in the family. We were lucky enough to see the resident sloth a couple of times, and squirrel monkeys also passed by during our stay. These wildlife encounters made the experience even more special. Between the beautiful views, excellent service, great breakfast, lovely pools, and wildlife, La Mariposa made our stay truly memorable. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Manuel Antonio!"

Parador Nature Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"El hotel es precioso, vistas impresionantes, rodeado de naturaleza y el personal es increíble, todos son super amables y lo tratan a uno como si es familia."

Hotel San Bada Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay. Room was clean and staff were super nice. Never felt unsafe walking around as a solo traveler. Very easy access to beach and park. Food was delicious and very pretty views. Only thing I noticed was pools could have used a little more cleaning as there was leaves and things in them. Hard to avoid though outside! Would highly recommend!"

Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio

10/10 Excellent

"SOOOO SO MUCH FUN!! it was our first getaway out of the country and we couldn’t have been more impressed!! They planned all our excursions for us making the stress on us SOOO much less!! They treated us so well and were so much fun!! Such a beautiful country to experience and thanks to them, we got to experience so much!! If you love nature and wildlife and adventure THIS is the country to go to!! JUST BE RESPECTFUL!! Love love loved the hotel and all that came with it!! we will definitely be back!!"

Igloo Beach Lodge

8/10 Good

"The only reason one star was removed was because there should be better doors for the igloos and a locking option on the inside. The reason your guests find this important is because if we are inside changing and do not hear knocking, the cleaning staff will enter. This is not ok. The only issue is the window covering does not fully cover the window. I don’t think it’s appropriate for people to be able to see in my room while we are supposed to have privacy. Other than those things, this place is excellent.we have stay at this place five times I believe for a minimum of three nights each time. The staff is very personable. The restaurant is decent. The lunch/dinner menu tastes better than the breakfast menu. But both are still decent. They make excellent drinks at the restaurant. My other minor complaint is that you need more pool towels for your guests. Waiting until 3pm for them to be cleaned isn’t ok. We were going to try to keep and reuse ours the next day so we wouldn’t have the issue… but the cleaning teams takes them. Not sure why as we were trying to reduce and reuse. Anyway, we would definitely go to this resort again. There are a few very easy improvements I have requested. :)"

Gaia Hotel And Reserve - Adults Only

"Hello, My wife and I stayed here for 4 days. The service was incredible, breakfast included , and they even upgraded our room. Would recommend anyone to stay here if they never have visited Costa Rica. The staff provided great service and recommendations. It felt like I was in the show White Lotus lol"

Hotel Naoz

10/10 Excellent

"Me gustó todo de este alojamiento, nos recibieron con una bebida refrescante ideal por el calor del lugar, las habitaciones cómodas, limpias y permiten descansar plácidamente. El desayuno con variedad y preparado al momento, muy rico, lo mismo que las otras opciones del menú. Se ubica a pocos minutos del parque nacional. Recomiendo el lugar sin duda alguna, volvería todas las veces a este alojamiento, no hablo solo por mi sino por el grupo de 6 personas que éramos."
