Manuel Antonio hotellia

Plussat: The restaurant was closed (which was not mentioned) I was there with my girlfriend and we wanted a romantic early breakfast, instead we had a pool exercise class going on right in front of us . The instructor was yelling his instructions . Absolutely a “buzz kill”

Miinukset: Restaurant on site was closed. Which was not mentioned prior to booking. Had to do unnecessary traveling for diner. And a lot of grounds was closed due to maintenance.

Plussat: Lovely location great staff ; very spacious apartment

Miinukset: Breakfast could have started earlier given early morning tours

Plussat: Staff were very friendly and helpful. Apartments are large with good living/kitchen area. Pool was great. Views of the Pacific from the pool are stunning. Kids loved the self designed pancakes for breakfast.

Miinukset: The lift directly to the apartment opened unannounced a few times, with people in the lift. This was a little concerning regarding security.

Plussat: Such a beautiful property I will definitely be back!

Plussat: Staff was excellent. Beautiful views from the pool. Lovely sunsets. Very spacious living space.

Miinukset: Private beach had no surf.

Plussat: We got an enormous apartment. Spot clean, all the imaginable facilities and amenities in the apartment and in the hotel. We stayed for one night, but would be an exciting experience for several relaxing days. Very close to the Manuel Antonio national park.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The 3 bedroom appartement was beautifully designed and very confortable with 2 bathrooms, a terrace, 3 balconies, an equipped kitchen and nice living room. The service is great and beachtowels are easily provided. The pool is beautiful and the small beach wild. We enjoyed yoga classes on the yoga platform and unfortunately we missed the free cooking classes

Miinukset: The proposed activities through third parties on the website were a little disappointing, for example the catamaran for whale watching embarked almost 100 visitors.

Plussat: This was our second visit to this resort, and as usual, the staff is always attentive and friendly. Nature, staff and pool area and room size will always be the highlights.

Miinukset: I was very disappointed this time with several things that were extra points the first time: 1) master bedroom had a TERRIBLE humidity smell 2) master bedroom bathroom didn´t have a trash can 3) master bedroom shower had moss and black stains - cleaning is definitey not properly done 4) no extras in the fridge as before, we were looking to have some drinks at the apartment as we didnt have time to stop by 5) breakfast was still good but it was a big disappointment not to be told in advance when making the reservation that their restaurant was out of service, it was an inconvenient with a baby to go out and look for a place to have dinner and lunch 6) in the main level, the area to the right, nearby the elevator, smelled terrible, not sure if it was the bathroom area, but I just couldn´t stand the smell when I had to go upstairs

Plussat: Great location. Excellent Breakfast. Huge apartment layout. Elevator opens into your suite.

Plussat: Staff were excellent and so welcoming! It was my birthday and they provided balloons and a cake which was so thoughtful. The pictures don’t do the place justice, it’s beautiful and so clean. The bedrooms are large and the pool is relaxing with the sound of wildlife, will definitely be returning.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: The staff, the room and the facilities were great, breakfast was delicious and it was a really quiet and peaceful place to relax. They are pet friendly (they accept pets of 15 kg max) so that is great as well. This is definitely my top choice whenever I go to Manuel Antonio.

Plussat: The hotel was beautifully appointed. The reception was also an artist gallery, stunning. Our accommodation was perfect with views of the pool and forest. Breakfast was excellent, great menu. Didn’t want to leave.

Miinukset: There was nothing to dislike. Absolutely beautiful place to stay

Plussat: seen monkeys everyday from balcony of room had a small issue with a room and was given great service and put into an even better room. Art everywhere and its all for sale if you like it! Cool little dog name Yara is usually there too.

Miinukset: beds hard n uncomfortable

Plussat: Best customer service from a hotel, ever ! Sebastian and Jordan are friendly and super helpful. Nelson, the manager, went above and beyond for us. Plaza Yara really shines as a boutique hotel in every way. The rooms are huge, the showers amazing, the private balconies looking into the jungle supreme, the pools exceptional in cleanliness w more chance to see birds. The breakfast so nice and delish (chocolate pancakes ! YUM!) Art gallery by one prolific artist. We left w a painting and some ceramic hand painted geckos and frogs. Long live Yara. My highest compliments. I didn't shut up about its charm the rest of my trip. Was sad I did not have longer to spend there.

Miinukset: not one thing to complain about, not one

Plussat: Best service at a hotel, EVER ! Sebastian and Jordan were lovely and helpful. Nelson (the manager) went above and beyond for us. Thanks again ! Really lives up to the boutique in "boutique hotel" Lovely giant rooms w amazing showers. Wonderful private viewing areas into the jungle. Nice clean pools offer yet another bird viewing area. Breakfast delicious (chocolate pancakes!) as was coffee. Awesome gallery w art by one prolific artist. We bought quite a few things here. I did not shut up about the amazing service and charm of this place for the rest of my trip. Sets the bar high. I only got to spend 3 nights total here and was pining for more. I absolutely adored it !

Miinukset: zero complaints

Plussat: loved the breakfast

Plussat: Big rooms, very clean, balcony with jungle view and wildlife....sloth, monkey, birds Small really nice touches .... popcorn in the rooms Nice swimming pool area, shame jacuzzi was cold Breakfast was ok a la card

Miinukset: Very close to the Main Street which we could hear from the room , but did not disturb us but could if your sensitive

Plussat: Everything was amazing!!! The rooms, the food, the view everything! We stayed for 3 nights I wish we'd stayed longer, not only did we have an amazing room etc but when we we're lying around the pool there were monkeys an array of birds and a sloth! It was just amazing would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Plussat: The facilities were beautiful. The staff was amazing.

Miinukset: There's no real separation between the toilet and the room. Fine for us, but some may not like it. There was a separate bathroom right outside.

Plussat: Amazing view ! Food was excellent, worth every penny. Staff is very friendly and helpful, specially Alexander! He made sure we were happy the entire time. The beds were so comfy , my husband wanted to bring one home.

Plussat: Small personal attention was great. Very clean throughout.

Plussat: Rooms, ocean view, staff was friendly, owner was friendly and helpful, private access to beach, nice pool, good cocktails.

Miinukset: The omelette in the breakfast.

Plussat: The room was just incredible! Panorama view of the ocean (and sunset) overlooking the jungle. Amazing pool and sunlounge area with great views, excellent pool. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great, evetything very clean. Shuttle service to beach and shopping area. There are only few rooms therefore there is no mass tourism.

Miinukset: Lunch and Dinner is much too expensive. But very good quality of food.

Plussat: View and location

Miinukset: Most everything, old hotel, ants all over the place, including our bed. Insanely over priced coffee in the room ($33 for four capsules of coffee...) And on. Really, unless you have no other choice...

Plussat: - very nice and spacious room with a truly fantastic view - staff very helpful for organizing trips - nice pool area

Miinukset: The room rates are actually like a 5* hotel, but the hotel fails to deliver on certain element in accordance with that pricing level, eg - breakfast only with cheap filter coffee (if u wanna have a proper coffee, that makes $5 extra) - overall the breakfast was good, but as it’s a la carte, the choice isn’t to broad - this was the first hotel in my life where the coffee machine in the room did cost money ($2,5 for a filter coffee, $5 for a capsule coffee) Overall, I think that the hotel management is trying to squeeze out some money from their guests where it’s actually a bit ridiculous

Plussat: Breakfast was amazing! Staff was great. Amazing view!!!! Loved it

Plussat: Ilvo, who is the personable, warm owner, and his staff, were exceptional. They made us feel like we were at home. They encouraged us to explore and they served our every need. The staff was so kind and willing to please. Thanks Luis Carlo, Francisco and Grindr! Yet, they were sincere and approachable. All of them spoke excellent English. The food for breakfast was very tasty and filling. It was nice that they changed up the breakfasts every day which is unusual for a breakfast included place. The added bonus was the New Year’s eve dinner that was included in our stay. We would definitely recommend this place for anybody traveling to Costa Rica. I’ve been to Costa Rica over 20 times and can say that this is one of our best stays. It’s away from the beaten plant but close enough to enjoy the other shops and restaurants in the area with a short walk or ride. It was lovely to wake up and go to bed with the toucans right outside our veranda. Also, we enjoyed seeing the scarlet macaws come home around 5 PM. In addition, we saw white faced monkeys. We really liked the fact that the owners and staff encouraged guests not to feed them. They are very ecologically minded. That is why we come to Costa Rica.

Plussat: I can’t say enough about the facility, the staff and the the food here at Issimo. The first night we were greeted by the owner and the staff have been simply amazing. The food is fresh and delicious. The grounds are very clean and we have only good things to say about this Boutique hotel. Location is great and close to anything in Manuel Antonio. I would recommend in a heartbeat.

Miinukset: Nothing we didn’t like. It is a little on the higher end price wise but it’s worth the stay. Only small thing would be the sunset. There is a rolling hill that blocks the total view but you can easily watch it from the beach or a one of the cafes down the street.

Plussat: Everything. Wonderful stay! Professional and friendly staff - a special word of thanks to Geiner for positive customer approach

Plussat: Very accommodating, I was sick on arrival and they allowed me to check in really early to rest.

Miinukset: TV didn’t work, but didn’t need it.

Plussat: The setting, with beautiful gardens and fantastic rooms- made even better by the lovely staff.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staff were friendly and professional. The gardens were lovely with iguanas, howling monkeys and capuchins. There were even tame agoutis. The cabins were secure and comfortable. The frequent local bus stopped near the hotel entrance which made getting to the Nature Reserve cheap and easy. The breakfast was good and the evening meals excellent.

Miinukset: I've given them a high score on most things. There is nothing that they can do about the location but the ease of bus access compensates for this.

Plussat: -Friendly helpful staff who speak English & Spanish very well -Delicious breakfast included -Large rooms, with fan and AC, safe, hairdryer -short walk to restaurants -right next to the bus stop for the bus that takes you to/from the beach -very quiet during the evening and morning hours -bonus: lots of wildlife on the property! We saw monkeys, agoutis, a sloth, and iguanas!

Plussat: Very nice hotel. I traveled with my elder parents. Staff was specially kind with them. I was concerned about the size of the swimming pool, but even in a peak season, it was never crowded.

Plussat: Staff were amazing especially luis. Thanks for you loving kindness guys

Plussat: We were only there for 1 night. The room was large and comfortable. Our room faced the road, but it did not bother us at night

Miinukset: Breakfast service could have been quicker, we were in a hurry and it took a while for them to take our order.
