Hotels in Manuel Antonio

"place has really slipped since we last visited"

"My partner and I had the absolute pleasure of returning to Gaia for the first time in 10 years. Needless to say, Gaia delivered just as much if not more than they did the first time. Absolute first class service - the staff make you feel as though you are a friend and part of their family. Even the owner went out of his way to be approachable and friendly. The vibe at Gaia is so positive - you can tell by how happy the staff is. Gaia not only invests much of their attention to the guest, but also the pristine and sensitive environment upon which the hotel resides. They are helping to rehabilitate the macaw, and actually helped bring the population back to Manuel Antonio. How cool is that? You can hike on the property and see these birds as well as monkeys, agouti, snakes, frogs, vegetation etc. The breakfast at La Luna (restaurant on site) is delicious, and the dinner menu is second to none, which contains not only authentic Costa Rican family recipes, but also vegan and vegetarian dishes. We basically lived in La Luna (Hi Ricardo!). Watching the sunset with a beverage in hand from the infinity pool every eve was priceless. We used to have to rush around to figure out where to watch the sunset. No more, since it can be done from the pool. The spa was wonderful as ever. A very diverse menu of massage options after those awesome hikes on the reserve or Manuel Antonio national forest. It definitely won't be another 10 years before I visit Gaia again. It is my home away from hom"

"We saw more monkeys and sloths than the national park. Secluded and very well maintained property. All staff is top notch. "
