We had an amazing stay here. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the amenities were great. Every morning, you order breakfast and it’s made to order and delicious. The pool area was quiet and peaceful, surrounded by lush greenery. We spent a good amount of time reading and swimming! The staff was helpful, attentive, and friendly. We had the best time here and will come back and stay again soon!

Our room was much nicer than I had expected. The hotel overall is beautifully kept up and very clean; the staff were all friendly and helpful. And the reviews were correct that you can just sit and look out the back and see lots of birds, monkeys, etc. Not all the time, of course, but if you sit and look, they will show up. We loved our stay.

This hotel is absolutely stunning. The staff were remarkably friendly. The art is vibrant and alive with Costa Rican culture. We arrived early and we were greeted with luggage storage, restroom facilities, and absolute kindness. Our room was very spacious and decorated with modern beauty. We had a private balcony with pool access. The pools were clean with sparkling water. The breakfast cooked to order was delicious and had large portions. The only con to staying at this beautiful place is Expedia was wrong about the location. It is 3.5 miles from Manuel Antonio Park, not a 5 min walk. And the road out front can be a bit intimidating with the copious traffic heading to the park and gorgeous public beach. I will stay here again.

Fabulous stay at Hotel Plaza Yara

Had an amazing stay here. Convenient location to both Quesop and Manuel Antonio via local bus or taxi. Staff were friendly and really helpful. Room was spacious and comfortable. Bonus to have a little kitchenette area with a microwave, coffee machine and fridge. Lovely pool and rainforest view from the balcony. Managed to see some wildlife whilst relaxing by the pool including, sloths, toucans and monkeys. Would definitely stay here again. Breakfast was tasty too

I really liked this place! We had the largest room — very clean, neat, and comfortable. The room has a sliding door that opens to a small private patio and swimming pool, which was a great bonus. The only issue was the shower water temperature — it didn’t stay consistent and would fluctuate between very hot and cold. Other than that, great reception, excellent breakfast, easy parking, and very close to the beach. Would definitely recommend!
