The staff was incredibly friendly ! This man smiles all the time and was really helpful with our luggage since we arrived to early. The pool is great, the room was very clean and the shower even had hot water (a luxury in costa rica). We really recommend this place !!!

Breakfast was exceptional. Fruit coffee juice and toast to start witha choice of 5 cooked to order mains including a burrito, waffles, granola and youghert. Hotel is brand new with a lovely minimalist design, polished concrete floors, wood and glass over three blocks. Didnt fully appreciate that this is run to generate profits that go entirely educating local kids. Amazing. Dutch couple running it are inspiring. Great bedding options ( we got 3 singles)

Javier, Roger and the team were brilliant. They went out of their way to make us feel very special - it was my boyfriend's birthday and they decorated the room to help me surprise him. The tent is spacious, the bed comfortable and humongous and everything you need to make a quick meal if needed. You are surrounded by the forest and you fall asleep to the sound of the forest, wind and rain. We didn't see any animals except a couple of spiders but you hear the birds in trees the moment the sun goes up.

Fabulous property on a great location. Incredible price to performance, with new spacious rooms and excellent facilities. The owners are so friendly and helpful, can also arrange a variety of tours and surf lessons if needed. A special plus is the all day availability of coffee machine, some fruits and biscuits/snacks.

Amazing, everything was perfect. The facilities were super clean and fresh, good environment, view to the mountains, free coffe, good breakfast. The staff were also super friendly, we got a free walking tour and we saw a lot of cool animals, like tucans, sloths, monkeys, etc, right outside the hotel. I would definitely stay there again, totally recommended.

We are traveling Costa Rica for two months and this is by far the best place we ever visited. It is a unique little paradise with really outstanding staff. We enhanced our stay despite we could not cancel our next hotel and to pay the cancellation fee. we paid it with a smile because we could stay longer in Los Vivos. Great Beach for our Kid, for snorkeling. We could use the hotels‘ Kayaks, stand-up paddle boards and everything was included. the food in the restaurant was wonderful and so were the cocktails. this was really perfect! thank you so much!

We stayed for 2 nights in this beautiful hotel. For us it had a perfect position within Manuel Antonio, with around 5-6 kilometres from the main beach and nationalparc and for that a more quiet surrounding. There are a few restaurants within walking distance, but for other activities you need a car. The Hotel has a beautiful patio with 2 pools, a bar and is a great place to relax or have a sundowner in the pool before going out for dinner. The room we had was well equipped, with a/c, a fridge and a nice bathroom. Towels for pool and beach were provided. Breakfast was à la carte, which was a great change to the omnipresent gallo pinto. The staff was really lovely, most helpful and very obliging.

The location and the staff are amazing! This was the place where we felt more the local vibe. It is comfortable though a bit aged, but the staff is so nice that we were really happy there! You just cross the road and have a perfect beach, with a nice peak to surf. The restaurant has wonderful food, very diversified, very tasty and the staff is the best! Really the best! Super friendly, always with a smile! We loved it there!

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!

If you like cooler temperatures, rainy & windy mountains in remote Costa Rica then this is for you. Its a unique experience to be that high up above sea level and theres plenty to do outside between coffee tours, ziplines & hikes. But in terms of the town itself, theres not a lot going on and its expensive but I guess thats what you pay for tranquility & remoteness. And if you're driving up there you better have a 4x4 or AWD vehicle because the majority of the roads up here are unpaved & windy AF. Spots to check out that made our trip: Don Juan Coffee Farm, the Butterfly Sanctuary, El Tigre Waterfalls, Kinkajou Night walk, 100% Aventura Ziplines for the longest Zipline in Latin America & lastly tree climbing at Finca Modelo. If you want to try authentic Costa Rican food (because hello why not!) skip out on the expensive restaurants and go to Pizzeria 3R y el Sazón de Mary - best part is that they're open late. Food was bomb! Overall, I wouldn't spend more than 2.5 days up here.

I go there to do dental work at Crystal Dental, as their prices are 2-3 times cheaper than in the USA and the quality is better, they speak English and have German equipment. I do not care about touristy stuff, I did it on my first visit many years ago. You can take buses for daytrips. Tours with agencies are very expensive and geared for young athletic people. I wish there was a sightseeing tour for the whole day on a bus to take pictures without any hiking or horse-riding.

Preferably visit on the whale watching season, and reserve a tour days before so you not lose the chance of this lovely experience, I recommend Bahía Ballena Kayaks & Tours.

Quepos itself is a little rough, but Manuel Antonio is a gem. Be wary of all the hustlers on the beach. Would have liked to go fishing but the prices for charters were steep. Great eateries. I forgot the name but the seafood restaurant before the bridge into town was excellent.

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.

Puerto Jiménez served as a rest-over before going to, and when coming from a trip to Corcovado Nat'l Park. We were able to take and ride bikes from the hotel to restaurants and to look around (the walkway to the pier was torn up so we had to go the long way around and the bikes came in super handy). The staff was friendly and could answer all our questions.
