The location was absolutely perfect, right in the heart of Punta Uvita. The staff provided excellent attention and service. The room had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. I truly wished I could have stayed longer, so a return trip is definitely in order!

Really nice new hotel in an incredible unique location at the top of a mountain near Manuel Antonio. It is inside the Mountain Top Nature Park and so has access to the hanging bridges, nature trails etc in the park that external guests have to pay for (the night walks, ziplines still have to be paid for though). The hotel has a nice restaurant with stunning view at the very top of the mountain (either take the hanging bridges to get there or walk up a steep paved road). Lots of wildlife nearby - we saw Capuchin and white faced monkeys and a Sloth in the 3 days we were there. We spoke to the owner who explained future plans for the hotel and it sounds like it will get even better in future. Note: if you get a massage (recommended!) the spa is located next to the restaurant/bar at the top of the mountain, not where Google says it is.

Beachfront experience in one of the best parts of Costa Rica ! It is very quiet and not busy except for about an hour every day when lots of tourists boats come to use the beach and watch the sunset before the bioluminescence tours …. But we just wade in or take a paddle board out when they leave and watch the show from our own personal beach.

The hotel is like an oasis in MA - only two years old and beautifully designed with a gorgeous pool area. Around the pool I saw many butterflies, monkeys, and hummingbirds! Breakfast was great and a cheery welcome everyday from the staff Angelo and Darling. The location is excellent - walking distance to several places to eat and supermarkets. The bus to MA park leaves from the end of the street and is only 380 colones each way. My room was spotless everyday. All of the staff are super nice and helpful - I really enjoyed my stay.

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.

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.

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.

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.
