Juan Viñas Vacation Packages

Bueno para conectarse con la naturaleza.

Ronny and his staff were so kind and accommodating and made this stay absolutely worth it. We were welcomed with a cocktail and had a custom ordered tasty breakfast every morning. The room itself is small (and no door to the bathroom) but it is all you really need. The secluded rooftop patio was our favorite place to be during sunsets. The restaurant is bustling but the noise dies down early in the night. The property is on top of a hill (car required) and is about a 10 minute drive to everything. Thank you for hosting us!

Our stay at Gaia Hotel & Reserve was wonderful, but what truly made it exceptional was the outstanding level of service. From the moment we arrived, we were incredibly impressed by the warmth, professionalism, and genuine attentiveness of the entire staff. You can tell that providing exceptional service is part of the culture of this hotel. Everyone made us feel welcomed, cared for, and completely at ease throughout our stay. A few people especially stood out: Chris at the front desk and concierge was fantastic—always attentive, knowledgeable, and ready to help. Oscar was wonderful from the moment we arrived, helping with our luggage and transporting us around the property with such kindness and a great attitude. The restaurant staff was equally impressive, especially Abraham and Jack, along with the rest of the team, who were consistently warm, helpful, and attentive. The property itself is beautiful, but for us, the people were the true highlight. Exceptional hospitality and a level of service that we will absolutely remember. Thank you to the entire Gaia team for making our stay in Manuel Antonio so special!

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with our stay. There were baby lizards crawling along the walls inside our room, giant water bugs, and mosquitoes everywhere. We were getting bitten by mosquitoes while we were awake and even while sleeping, which made it extremely uncomfortable to relax. The shower only got warm, never really hot. The internet was also terrible. We had little to no phone service, and although the hotel provides WiFi, it barely worked during our stay. The towels and washcloths were also in poor condition. Some were ripped and had stains on them, which made me question the cleanliness. Breakfast was probably the best part of the stay. It was okay overall, but the bread they served every morning tasted old/stale. I understand that being in a tropical country means you may see insects or small lizards outside, but I did not expect to constantly deal with them inside the room, especially along with mosquitoes biting us throughout the night. Between that, the poor WiFi, lack of service, and condition of the linens, I would not stay here again. The experience definitely did not meet my expectations.
