Hotels near Manuel Antonio Beach

"Playa Espadilla Gardens exceeded my expectations. The hotel is a short 2 minute walk to the main beach and a 5 minute walk to Parque Manuel Antonio. The pool area is compact, but has nice cabanas with fans to keep you cool. The staff here goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. Even after checking out, the staff provided towels so we could use the showers before our long drive. Our room was clean and more than adequate for three people. The adirondack chairs outside the room were a nice touch as well. I will definitely stay here on future trips to M.A. "

"For $630 a night, this hotel is honestly a huge disappointment. You’d expect at least basic amenities, No tea bags, no bottled or filtered water in the room—I had to order room service just to get tea, which is ridiculous at this price point. The bathroom setup was equally underwhelming. Instead of proper toiletries, they only provide an all-in-one bottle—no separate shampoo, conditioner, or body wash. It feels like you’re getting cheap 2 star motel amenities while paying Four Seasons prices. The service didn’t help either. The front desk staff was rude, and one older gentleman was unnecessarily sarcastic when I asked about the room view. When I confirmed it, he responded that “of course you won’t see the view, it’s dark outside ,and rolled his eyes on me as if that wasn’t obvious. Completely unprofessional. Even the pool system felt cheap—you have to exchange towels for pool cards like it’s a budget hotel. The pool itself was crowded, though I’ll admit it was nice, and the jacuzzi was decent as well. The view was amazing. Overall, not worth the money at all. Way overpriced for what you actually get. You are only paying for the view. "

"This hotel is more like a 2-star, at most 3-star"

"Muy lindo hotel cerca de restaurantes caminando, el personal muy amable "

"Great place with a great atmosphere. Fantastic location, just a short walk from the public beach and from the entrance to Manuel Antonio national park. The staff were super welcoming and friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here."

"The hotel was mainly clean and tidy and you can't beat the location for the park - literally foot steps away. The rooms were large and the swimming pool was a welcome relief after a hot day in the park. Breakfast was included and was ok and the lunch options were nice,"

"Everything was great. A little pricey but good overall. Fantastic views! "

"Nice place, excellent view and staff was friendly!"

"Included breakfast was delicious and filling. Property was clean. Location is unbeatable if you plan on going to Manuel Antonio or any nearby beaches (5 min walk). Friendliest and best staff I’ve ever encountered in my years of traveling. Highly recommend!"
