Si Como No Resort, Spa and Wildlife Refuge

Si Como No Resort, Spa and Wildlife Refuge

10/10 Excellent
"Very nice hotel in Manuel Antonio. Well located, excellent views, nice pool and helpful staff. Lots of comms via WhatsApp to help arrange tours, transport, etc - very helpful, particularly Walkiria. Food in both restaurants was very good and service was also great. A little on the expensive side in the restaurants vs nearby options but they ran some good promotions while we were there."

Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio

8/10 Good
"Beautiful property and wonderful staff. Great location but be aware it's VERY steep on the property. Luckily they have golf carts that can take you up and down. It's quite a steep hike to the beach too. Beds were very hard and the bathrooms were a bid odd, with things falling off the wall, like towel holders and the toilet paper holder. Breakfast was good. Most staff were super friendly and helpful."

"The room was spacious with ample tables and drawers. AC works well. We love the pool and amenities such as walking trail, pickleball court, drop off service to biesanz beach. The food at the restaurant was too salty for us and rather pricy for the portion they gave."

Igloo Beach Lodge

Igloo Beach Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"I knew I was going to love this place and I did! The rooms are cool and so different. The pool and grounds are immaculate. Everyone that works there is so friendly! I had a problem with my car rental and the guy at the front desk offered any help he could. There is only ONE tiny issue I had, but no big deal at all. They have a decorative mosquito netting over your bed which is so nice, but the frame blocks the tv, so whatever angle on the bed you lay, you can’t really watch tv. Like I said not a big deal, and oh, the BEACH! Not even a 5 minute walk to the most amazing beach!"
