The adults only pool overlooking the ocean was a nice treat after a long day. The rooms are spacious and the food portions at the restaurant are huge. Biesanz beach is a few minutes walk down from the hotel and it is worth the climb.

Our room was big and comfortable with a nice terrace that allowed us to enjoy being indoors when it was pouring rain. The view was amazing, jungle and the sea, and the staff was very friendly. The best thing by far is that it was a great place to spot animals. From our room we saw all kinds of monkeys, lizards squirrels, birds and even a sloth who was sleeping above the parking. It was really magical!

Beautiful national park and the amenities in the surrounding...
Beautiful national park and the amenities in the surrounding town are plenty. It was easy to walk around, although take notice of the traffic on the main road. It got pretty busy and fast sometimes. We stayed near our resort for meals within walking distance- El Wagon was a good family spot for dinner's not spent at our resort. We had an excellent lunch and cup of coffee at Emelio's Café. The town has plenty of grocery stores for any daily needs.
We only tried two beaches. Playa Bisanz had tricky parking and the guys watching cars honestly looked a bit sus. We did not stay there for long. Playa Manuel Antonio was absolutely beautiful. The park fee/ reservations keep it low key and it's well worth the visit and admission fee. The water was warm and the beach clean. Watch your belongings as the capuchin monkeys that bounce around are more than happy to raid your bag, as we witnessed happening to one of our fellow beachgoers.
If you're driving yourself to the park, take notice of the official parking. The locals are harmless but a bit aggressive with trying to get you to park in their lots so they can charge you. We got forced into a lot by a gentleman jumping into the road, then kicked out when we told them we didn't want a guided tour with them. We laughed it off, as we could have easily just driven around him. If you book your adventures with a company, they all offer transpiration.
That said, a guided tour with a reputable company (We did Jade Tours) for the national park is a must. We saw WAAAAY more than we would have on our own, including a sloth fight. Well worth the fee.
We also did a kayak/mangrove tour with Narcacosta and a guided horseback/waterfall tour with Brisas del Nara- I cannot say enough good things about either one of these organizations. Top tier experience, knowledgeable guides, and beautiful facilities.

I forgot to mention before about the assistance I got from the customer service representative ELISABETH. She helped me since the very begin of my reservation to the very end with great knowledge, efficiency and patience. I am I little challenged with the internet but she was right there for me, did not matter the time. We are all lucky for having her.

Absolutely stunning area of Costa Rica.
Absolutely stunning area of Costa Rica. A very nice and friendly vibe in the area. No safety concerns at all. Beaches.....just "wow". Do not miss this area. Stayed for 6 nights...could easily have stayed longer.

Good beaches.
Good beaches. Espadilla, even when crowded, is large enough that you can walk a little and get a fairly empty beach if you prefer. A car is a must-have if you plan to explore the town, but you're not missing much if you stay in a resort with beach and jungle access the whole time. The most expensive restaurants are good, all others are nothing special and just okay to not be hungry. You'll get better treatment as a foreigner because people expect tips, so definitely take advantage of that if you are one.

Mid-February is very hot and humid for this area - 90 degrees Fahrenheit everyday. We really enjoyed visiting the park and seeing rainforest wildlife, swimming at the beaches (watch out for strong rip tides!), and familiarizing ourselves with an area we had never been to before. Be ready to pay tourist prices (you are in a high tourism area - and it is so for a good reason), but if you can get an apartment with a kitchen, visiting the Quepos farmer's market and being able to make some of your own meals make this area more affordable. Glen's on the beach has the best chairs and his whole family is so kind and helpful. Going into the park for the first time with a guide is highly recommended, but so is going a second time on your own at your own pace. Get there first thing in the morning, because it heats up and gets busy after 9 AM. Eat at the Falafel Bar, like everyone says, because it is delicious (the smoothies are really refreshing). The public busy is easy to navigate, so use it and explore! Favorite activity in the area, other than the national park, was by far the Night Damas Mangrove Tour with Iguana Tours. Explore and have fun!

The room and bathroom was large and balcony overlooked the jungle,monkeys and birds came to the balcony everyday
The area is so lush with beautiful flowers and trees. The beach area and ocean was really nice. The way down to the beach was easily accessible, the path down has ropes on both sides to help.
Swimming pool was lovely surrounded by tables and umbrellas could have meals there if chosen. Excursions easily booked by agents and very informative.
The location right at the beach is excellent and rare for Manuel Antonio! The rooms were ok, standard American motel - like, and the pool are was fine, too. For is it was all about the beach access, and that was a blast. We had our hammock in the palms at the beach right behind the hotel, so a 30 second walk to the room. Plenty of shady at the beach. Very friendly staff and plenty of parking. The small restaurant offers great breakfast so we recommend going there.
On ground there were monkeys, sloths, birds and geckos.
This hotel is a great value. The location can't be beat, we walked right next door to the Manuel Antonio National Park, and could hear howler monkeys from our hotel room. The hotel has an attached restaurant that has really good food and drinks for good prices, which is very convenient. The beach is right across the street from the hotel as well. Although the towels are small and thin, and the ac unit isn't the strongest, the room was comfortable and roomy, and the shower pressure and hot water was excellent.
We loved the Jungle Beach Hotel - it was like you were staying right in the jungle but just a short walk away from the beach - amazing! They had a great restaurant and pool - we loved that they were both located close together… super nice for families w kids. We saw so many monkeys & birds right from our room and from the restaurant- it was very exciting :) and they had air conditioned rooms - super important for getting good sleeps. We would definitely recommend this hotel to others.
Our room was next to pool area with mutiple cabanas with beds. Pool side bar. Beach is about 5 mins from hotel. Manuel Antonio Park entrance is 7-10 mins walk from hotel. No need for a car if staying here. Local bus on main beach road can take you around area to next town, it runs frequently. Beach area has surfing, dining, atm, small shops, cheap beach tent rentals. We originally booked only one night but decided to stay 3 instead for the end of a 16 days vac.
We had a great time and wonderful experience in Hotel San Bada. The property is going through renovations and we were lucky to stay in a brand new suite. Complimentary breakfast had variety of options, proximity to Manuel Antonio is amazing and helped us to avoid traffic and issues with parking, staff was nice and welcoming. You can spot monkeys and other wild animals straight from your balcony. This is the best place to stay while staying in Manuel Antonio!
This stay was far beyond our expectations. It’s right on the mountain road that goes to Manuel Antonio national park and beach. Easy parking and check-in. A great bar, restaurant and perfect staff. They even have hiking routes in the forest that starts at the hotel!
The only downside for us was the quality of the room and bathroom. It wasn’t perfectly clean but it was a good value for the money anyway. I’m sure there are some better room options.
It's a small, two story hotel shaded in trees with direct access to the ocean, about a 50 yard walk. It has a secluded setting with a nice swimming pool and a cafe. It is a short stroll along the beach or the road to several restaurants and also markets. Access to the Manuel Antonio National Park is a 10 minute walk away. The local bus is available from the lobby to go to the nearby town of Quepos or the Park entrance.
Swimming pool was amazing, kids loved it - great views and the best place to see lots of monkeys:) We saw a lot of animals: rockoons, cappuccino monkeys, squirrel monkeys, iguanas, sloths, hummingbirds, lizards. On the beach we saw toucans :)
Our experience in Manuel Antonio national park was very disappointing (looked overhyped) and de la Selva hotel saved us, it was amazing to see soo many animals at hotel !
The beds were extremely comfortable, the room was very big and with two children was perfect. The hotel provided room clean once a day and we demanded for a kettle to prepare our youngest daughter'meals and they gave us. The staff was very kind, attentive amd full of envy to help. The location of the hotel.is beachfront (espadilla norte playa), in dron of the bus terminal and very close to.Manuel Antonio Park.
La Posada is located close to the park, beach, store and restaurants. The people that run the hotel treat you like family. They anticipate what you need before asking. Rony is an incredible tour guide whose passion for Manuel Antonio Park will be contagious for the guests who explore this national park. Staying at a hotel is one thing but forming friendships and creating memories another
Peace of Paradise was the perfect place to stay in Manuel Antonio. The room was much larger than I expected and equipped with a kitchen area. The bed was comfortable and the room was very clean. It was near a supermarket and a bus stop, which you can take to get to Manuel Antonio National Park. In terms of value for money, this was probably one of the best places I stayed in Costa Rica.
Nice pools and location within the forest where you can see monkeys, birds, sloths. Facilities include various pools, a spa, and a gym my daughter visited. The self laundry area was very convenient. I reserved Parador since it had good reviews and said it was a 5 star hotel. I stayed in several hotels in Costa Rica, mainly 4 stars hotels, and the experience was much better by far.
This hotel is in a very convenient location with direct access to a small splendid beach. You can see monkeys in the pool and super funny sloths sleeping on the trees surrounding the property. The view is amazing! The room was very clean and there is also a pool in which you can relax after a morning at the beach or a tour at Manuel Antonio Park. Perfect for families!
Oh what a wonderful place! My sister and I enjoyed our short stay, perfectly located close to the bus stops towards the beaches but also to Quepos, Hotel Villas Nicolas was a tranquil and beautiful way to end our stay in Costa Rica. The staff was friendly and super helpful, the breakfast was delicious, the room was clean and comfortable and the views were stunning.
Friendly staff. Great little hotel on walking distance (aprox. 800 m) from entrance gate national park Manuel Antonio. Cross the main road, walk 2 min and you'll find a lovely beach with rental chairs and a bar/restaurant. Busstop in front of the hotel makes Quepos easily accessible. Every morning and late afternoon monkeys visit the pool area :-)
Amazing staff, Ronni is the most friendly and positive person who I have ever met. Cozy hotel with small pool and spacious room. Very good location - hotel is right at the entrance to the Manuel Antonio National Park and very close to the public beach. I recommend it with all my heart. See you Ronni Jacek & Agata
We like the hotel very much after a long strenuous drive. The hotel is beautiful and the staff was warm and helpful. He made diner reservation for us right away. The famous Manuel Antonio National Park is right around the corner. The pool is inviting. The public beach is right behind. What not to like?
The breakfast was pretty good & the staff were nice.
The location is right next to Manuel Antonio and has its own car park which is great. We went to the beach inside the park at 7am and it was pristine. Wouldn't recommend the hotel beach if you don't like it busy.
Staff was personable and went out of their way to help you and give you tips for nearby restaurants, exploring Manuel Antonio and pointing out the local wildlife around the hotel. All the food was excellent. Clean and safe place right on the beach.
