Boutique Hotels in Manuel Antonio

Beautiful hotel with some jungle vibes! The rooms were huge, always spotless, I don’t understand how you can have a hotel so close to nature and still absolutely ZERO bugs inside (ofc you must keep your windows closed for this). The pool area was lovely, I could’ve spend hours there just watching the birds and monkeys. The area in general is not very walkable, but if you have a car or take the bus, the location is great. 5-10min drive to restaurants, beach, the national park. The roads are narrow and steep but the traffic is calm and considerate. The staff at Plaza Yara were also super helpful and kind, we absolutely loved staying here. 100% recommend!

We had a fabulous stay at Gaia for my partners birthday at the end of our stay in Costa Rica. The food was a particular highlight, we had the Mahi Mahi and the tuna steak, both delicious. breakfast was also perfect. special mention to staff Nelson in the restaurant and concierge Carlos. Also the owner Boris said hello at breakfast and was so kind and welcoming. we had a great time at the pool and ordered drinks and nachos and all staff so helpful bringing towels and asking if we needed anything. Overall a fantastic stay.

The hotel is beautiful, staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The pools were clean, they have access to a nice, calm beach (only 10 minutes walk through the forest). The restaurant is exceptional, they even have a wood fired oven for the pizza.The breakfast is fantastic (buffet style, the best we had during our stay in Costa Rica). We were lucky enough to see a sloth in the tree next to the pools, he just moved in, and stayed there for at least 3 days. We also saw scarlet macaws and toucans daily from the pool. Highly recommended.
