It is very secured property, a code was needed to get in and out the property. Our room is spacious, nice, clean and equiped with all we need, such as a single sofa, heater, towels, etc. The furniture is pretty new, we love the night stands which are like at home. The brakfast is good, better than what I expected. The check-in staff is nice and provided a lot information to us.

The view and beach were spectacular. The staff was extremely friendly and we were treated royally. I really appreciate the owner, Hilda, interacting with her guest as well as us. It was my wife's birthday and they went out of their way to treat my wife to a wonderful dessert after our dinner. The pool was awesome and inviting. All and all a great place and magical experience.

Manuel Antonio is undeniably beautiful, but be prepared —...

Manuel Antonio is undeniably beautiful, but be prepared — the national park is extremely crowded, and that crowds saps much of the charm from the experience. It reminded us of watching African wildlife safaris where so many vehicles surround the animals that the moment feels suffocating rather than magical. The same applies here — you are rarely alone with any wildlife sighting, as other park visitors quickly converge from every direction. Our strong recommendation is to hire a guide, either private or in a small group. A good guide makes all the difference in spotting wildlife and understanding what you are seeing. Our guided park tour with Jade Tours was excellent — knowledgeable, professional, and worth every penny. The night mangrove tour, also with Jade Tours, was not exactly off the hook but absolutely worth doing for the unique perspective it offers after dark. The undisputed highlight of our Manuel Antonio experience was a day sail aboard the Brisa Elegante, a stunning wooden tall ship. We were among only three guests, which made it an intimate and extraordinary experience — fantastic crew, breathtaking scenery, and the thrill of spotting blue-footed boobies on the water. The lunch onboard was fantastic and the drinks kept coming. We give it a perfect 10 without hesitation. Do not miss this. Two stops in town are worth noting. Café Milagro Coffee Roasters is a must for any coffee lover — outstanding quality and a wonderful atmosphere. And Faxas House of Cigars is a gem of a find, well worth a visit for cigar enthusiasts and curious travelers alike. Manuel Antonio rewards those who plan carefully. Go early, hire a guide, book the Brisa Elegante, and save room for coffee and cigars.

We loved Uvita.

We loved Uvita. You do have to check the tides as the ocean does come all the way up to the beaches, but other than that, it was my favorite beach. The whale's tail beach was fantastic, and walking out when it was low tide was great. Playa Ventanas, which is a free public beach, was also incredible.

Jaco seems nice, the High Street was funky and had a lot of cafes, shops, etc. The downfall is that it isn't very safe. We left our car for 10 minutes to go and get a smoothie, and it was broken into. Everyone I have told the story to says the same thing. Jaco has a reputation for cars getting broken into and things being stolen. It's such a shame the police do nothing, as it could be an easy fix with some cameras.

Santa Teresa is one of my favorite spots... as a parent I could say having a place with a pool is a NEED since the ocean is not to "kid friendly"... Small town that grew in the last 20+ years, it's amazing to see and meet people from all over the place, chilling and having a great time. Everyone is Pura Vida!!!!

We really liked Quepos.

We really liked Quepos. We were there for 5 nights and 4 full days at the beginning of our trip. Afterward, we wished we'd reversed our trip and stayed in Quepos for longer. It has a relaxing vibe and the beaches are beautiful. We would have like to go into Manuel Antonio National park a 2nd time because it was one of the nicest parks we visited. There are a lot of activities in the area and the weather was way better than Monteverde or La Fortuna (where we had a lot of rain - in the "dry season").

The kayak trip with Gabriel was fabulous. The beaches outside of town are wonderful and the rainforest all around is beautiful. This is a more rustic part of the country and one cannot expect hot water nor tourist comforts. One comes here to be with nature.

This is basically a cruse ship harbor and not much to do in low season. A few bars and stores open. A lot of tour is not given due to no crusie ship arriving in this time of the year. Also, extreme weather resultet in that most tours from Puntarenas was cancelled. If you are planning a vaccation, you should choose another city such as Jaco or Uvita. Very easy to take a 2-3 hour bus shuttle from San Jose, terminal 7-10 for a few dollars.
