The location is sooo convenient for visiting the park (literally at the entrance).Easy walk to the free beach, shops, and restaurants. The staff was incredible and the rooms are nice/comfortable, although tired/dated. Heard howler monkeys, but didn't see them during our trip. The pool is nice and the free breakfast was really great. Didn't try the restaurant on location (Congo) as the prices way too high. Did try the sushi restaurant on the top floor and it was really good! The view of the ocean was incredible - definitely go at sunset! It was a great stay and I would recommend.

Hotel San Bada was in a great location, had all the luxuries we needed, and the staff was fantastic. Pools were beautiful with sightings of iguanas. The roof top restaurant was amazing with views of wildlife including toucans, parrots, and other bird species. Daniel, our waiter went above and beyond! We had a great stay!

Liked: location, breakfast was amazing, staff was supportive and pools are cool Dislike: got a room with double bed. I was expecting a queen or king bed for a couple, hotel was not crowded. Cocktails and many dinner options are really expensive. It is better to look for options outside.

Property is in a prime location. The view from the 5th floor facing the beach was breathtaking. The room was clean and staff on site was very attentive. Roof top restaurant/pool was great to bird watch and hang out. We saw a few monkeys, raccoons and Tucans. Would definitely come back again.

We loved our stay at the San Bada! It’s a great location directly next to Manuel Antonio park. Very convenient walking distance to the beach and a few restaurants. The staff was very helpful, even tracking us down in the hotel restaurant after we checked out and left something in our room. The rooms were clean and we saw lots of wild life, especially monkeys right outside our door several times!

Pros: The property is absolutely beautiful and the staff was exceptional. Every single person we interacted with was friendly and helpful. The uniqueness of the location made the stay worth every penny. There was a problem with our initial room so they bumped us up to the highest suite, Suite Mogote, which blew our mind with its size and multiple balconies & roof-top terrace. We were able to see the ocean AND look directly into Manuel Antonio National Park. We saw monkeys, parrots and lizards from our own room. (And at the pool.) The pool area was wonderful and the food was all exceptional. Cons: There were several problems with our room- the jacuzzi didn't work (they came and fixed it right away), the upstairs door wouldn't lock from the outside (they came and fixed that too), the shower leaked all over the bathroom floor, and I mean puddles not just damp, and some of the lights flickered. The jacuzzi at the main pool was no warmer than the regular pool. There was no gift shop. We would've liked a snack bar option, somewhere else to grab a quick bite with a smaller, less expensive menu than the main restaurant. Overall, we would stay here again, and would recommend this resort to friends and family, but there are definitely areas that need work.

Very convenient to the Manuel Antonio park entrance. The hotel is dated and the furniture is quite old, but everything worked fine, the rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The walk to the beach is a bit sketchy but it's very short and easy. Very friendly and helpful reception staff. Food was good at the restaurant also

Our balcony was up against trees where monkeys flew around. The on site restaurant came in handy during the thunderstorm. Rooms are lovely with high ceilings. Location is right up against National Park, the small street has many shops, restaurants, vendors. Beach access is nearby as well.

The property is located right outside the entrance to Manuel Antonio. We ate at the sushi restaurant which was good and had a great view. It was raining out and the sound of the rain on the roof of the restaurant was wonderful. We also had some wildlife come in while we were dining, which of course was one of the advantages to being right next to the park. Our room was comfortable and I slept amazing in the bed. We did walk down to the beach, it’s only about 6-7 minutes up a trail. I will be back!

The property is rustic and well maintained, with huge rooms which are very comfortable, and elegantly organized on our arrival with a beautiful beach scene including a crab and flowers. The views to the ocean, plants and trees was magnificent. Water pressure in the rooms was excellent, as was the warn and cold water. It is at the park entrance, so you can see wildlife over the fence. We saw monkeys and enjoyed their early morning hooting rituals. Pleasant staff, and decent restaurants. Breakfast was fine, nothing elegant or particularly tasty. We enjoyed the local music one morning. There are many good dining options nearby if you need to try more out. WiFi never worked for us, so check if it's functional in your room in case you really need it.

OUR TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE WOTH SAN BADA HOTEL

San Bada hotel was the worst experience my family have ever had with hotels. We have reserved and paid in advanced two rooms for 3 nights for my family vacation and were charged $335 per room per night. We have expected a reasonable hotel for this price but we were EXTREMLY disappointed. We have found a run down old hotel. The rooms smell terrible and are full of bugs. The sheets are not clean and the pillows are smelly. The staff are tired and really do not care. After the first night we went for breakfast and found the place dirty and full of flies. We really could not eat there. We approached the manager and explained our huge disappointment of the hotel. We asked to leave and asked for refunds for the two nights left (that we have paid in advance). The manager was rude and refused to refund anything. To save our family vacation, we had to make new reservation in another hotel and left San Bada hotel. It left us with a terrible taste for our vacation. The San Bada hotel charges high price for very poor return. The exuberant price for this terrible hotel, in my opinion is NOT justified.

This hotel grew on me, we were coming from a really really nice place so the bar was high. Initially I was not impressed because we were notified 1 week before our trip that they couldn’t “honor our reservation.” When I called they said they would have to put us in either a different property for the first night or same property but pet rooms in a different building. We had agreed to this but when we came to the hotel, they had rooms available in the main building for us for the whole stay which was appreciated. There are things that need some attention there, the hot tub was not hot at all but the same temp as the pool. The restaurant was subpar and one of our party got sick after eating there the first night (not sure if it was the restaurant - we were all fine the rest of the time ) but does have a large breakfast buffet which was slightly different every day. The staff were friendly and very helpful with information about Manuel Antonio park etc. We loved seeing the monkeys and macaws and wildlife all around the hotel and in the trees outside of our room and the sunset from the sushi bar and upper pool were AMAZING. The sushi bar was better than the Congo restaurant but for really good food there are much better places around town.
