Everything about this hotel was wonderful. All the staff were so friendly, the food was amazing, and the pool area was lovely. Very well positioned between Quepos and the national park and there is a bus right outside the door that runs every 15 mins to take you to either place. Highly recommend!

The whole environment was simply fabulous! The room, our terrace, the pools, the service and the food... everything was just perfect. Even nature was on our side with a sloth on the premises and a whale jumping in the distance.!! Walking around can be a challenge due to steep walk ways. But the Hotel is offering internal transport services.

I recently had the opportunity to stay at Gaia Hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome and comfortable. The hotel premises are on a hill consumed by nature where animals such as monkeys and sloths are easily visible. From the La Luna restaurant, you can enjoy a stunning ocean view. The rooms are fresh, clean and tastefully decorated, creating a relaxing atmosphere. In addition, the bed was extremely comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a long day of activities. One of the aspects I liked the most was the attention of the staff and the cleanliness in the room. Everyone was very friendly and attentive, they really made us feel at home. The included breakfast was another plus point; there was a variety of delicious options that satisfied all tastes. In short, my stay at Gaia Hotel was exceptional. I highly recommend it to those looking for a comfortable and affordable place. I will definitely be back on my next visit.

We chose the smaller studio, which is a bit hard to spot in the pictures (Casa Jungle), but it’s difficult to put into words just how great it was. Over the past month, we’ve been traveling along the Costa Rican coast and stayed in over 20 accommodations, but this one is by far the best. It features a fully equipped kitchen, a king-size bed, and an epic view. The pool is the cherry on top, but overall, this spot is absolutely worth traveling for.

it makes sense to book this hostel if you're going to spend just a couple of days in Quepos, because chances are, you're going to use bus every day. at least for me, i used it for arrival, then to go to manuel antonio national park, next day to go to nauyaca waterfalls and the last day for departure. the area is safe and convenient, with good restaurants around. the facilities of this property exceeded my expectations - i didn't even have time to lay around pool, but it created great ambiance. also there were enough toilets, showers, hanging lines for all of us. everything was super clean. the kitchen has potable water and coffee for free. there are chargers around the bed and curtains.

First time visiting Costa Rica and cried today when we had to leave. A week is most definitely not long enough to take in this beautiful country. So much to do and see. Too much to list that was simply the best - the locals, sunsets, beaches, locals were the best, food was amazing, monkeys, sloths and more! Take me back!! ❤️

So, 16 years ago, we had a very different experience at the park. The interactions with the wildlife was quite exciting (and so different from anything we experienced before). Now, they very tightly regulate the food situation in the park, which I 100% understand and respect. But in so doing, the wildlife really couldn't care less about interacting with the tourists. You cannot bring food in (they will go through every nook and cranny of your back packs/bags). You have to buy food and consume it in a caged area. Think about that for a sec: now the humans are in the cage consuming the food and the wildlife is outside watching us. The irony! Anyway, the abundance of wildlife was significantly diminished on our day there. We decided to spend a day at the public beach instead of going back to ManAntonio because you can rent a cabana and a lounge for cheaper than entry to the park. Plus, they have vendors there that sell you food/drinks/trinkets, etc. The beach faces the pacific and so the waves are a bit more fun. It's a nice sandy beach that wasn't that crowded last week.

Once again, an expensive tour.

Once again, an expensive tour. Didn't see many animals, or if we did, they were blobs in the trees. Lovely beach, but we only had half an hour there. The park has well-run facilities, and the rules are respectful of the animals. Great guide. Would I say it is a "must" and you are missing out if you don't go? No.

A great place to stay for a few days and discover the Pura Vida here is amazing everyone is so lovely and friendly, whether you just want peace and quiet or some adventurous days out this is your place. We don't like cities and this place was perfect with a bit of everything local souvenirs, friendly bars and beautiful beaches.

We just loved this park.

We just loved this park. In a little more than a ½ day we walked all the trails except the closed one. We stopped for an hour in the café -- which is enclosed in a cage to prevent the animals from coming in! That was the first time I had a drink in a cage. The trails are great and we saw lots of wildlife on our own, including a toucan and a sloth (only saw it on our way out!). The beaches are beautiful too. The only issue is parking. I can't tell what's official and what isn't, and at the hotel they warn you your car can be damaged if you just try to park wherever rather than in their lots. We parked somewhere and paid (talked him down) but I'm not sure it was official. No issues with our car though. Highly recommend this park!

The Nature Reserve was amazing.

The Nature Reserve was amazing. I expected to explore for 2-3 hours and go to the beach. I didn't realize that the entry fee includes several beautiful beaches to choose from with white sand and the water is perfect! I joined a guided tour with Ricardo for $20 and it was awesome! A truly great day that lasted more like 9 hours after taking the hike to the waterfall. My only regret is not planning enough time to explore here. Souvenirs are pricey here, as in most places. If you find camisettas for $10-15 at the shuttle stops along the way, buy them. I got a delicious smoothie at the restaurant inside the Reserve. My tour partner got a sandwich that was huge.

We liked the different breakfasts on offer. The rooms were a good size and great to have a balcony to enjoy the views of the garden. Loved seeing the wildlife around the hotel grounds too. We had a day by the pool which was relaxing and we took the local bus to the beach and Manuel Antonio Park. It was easy to walk to the local restaurants in the evening such El Avion and El Wagon. We also enjoyed the happy hour cocktails and had a good meal at the hotel in the evening.

The property is currently being renovated therefore we were unable to use all the facilities such as the rooftop adults only pool and the gym. The hotel is also a taxi ride away from Manuel Antonio - it is not walking distance. The advantage is there is a short walk to the beach and it is located next to the entrance of the national park.

The best thing about this hotel is the location, a very short distance from the Manuel Antonio park entrance and the beach. The staff were helpful and allowed us to leave our car in the hotel's secure parking while we visited the park. Everything was very clean

Breakfast service was fast. We had much closer experiences with capuchin monkeys at the hotel than inside Manuel Antonio National Park. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and offered towels to use at the beach.

Hotel is on a beautiful beach, good resturant on the area that serves breakfast at a fair price, good resturants nearby that you can take bus/taxi to. Close to manuel antonio park.
