"From the moment we arrived the staff greeted us with warm smiles and salutations, and throughout our stay it remained the same. Alan and his wife (the chef), Ariel, Alan’s brother and Andre and Patricia ( another chef) provided us with a rich history of the area and delicious meals. We slept like babies each night in the spacious lodging provided for us. The mountaintop views are breathtaking and taking a dip in the private waterfall was so refreshing! We totally enjoyed our stay!"

Top San Carlos Hotel Reviews

La Vela Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"La Vela Boutique Hotel was perfect all the way around. Amazing staff, beautiful property, delicious breakfast and pizza, and super clean rooms. The best of all I think, would be the location, you could walk to the beach, shops and restaurants."

ECOTICA Boutique Hotel & Spa.

10/10 Excellent

"Moises has been giving my wife and I excellent service! He is a natural and we can tell that he loves people and truly cares about their experience. Even though it is raining today, he helped us forget about the weather. The whole staff has been very accommodating. We are having an amazing time and we highly recommend this hotel! We will definitely return the next time we are in Manuel Antonio!"

LAYAN Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing time in Costa Rica. This property was clean, view was amazing, staff was super helpful. I'm giving it 5 stars but I do want to note some things for travelers: 1) Parking is extremely difficult due to small parking area. The staff is there to help navigate, but keep that in mind. 2) If you come back late, the parking gate may be locked and it's difficult to get the security guards attention to open it (front desk is gone at a certain time). Make sure to let the front desk and security know you will be coming home late or you could get locked out. Otherwise, beautiful property with great view."

Gaia Hotel And Reserve - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"You are assigned a concierge who helps with booking tours, making reservation and any needs on the property. Our concierge Jose stayed in contact with us throughout our stay arranging tours for each of us and arranged for baggage assistance and breakfast for our early morning departure."

Mountain Top Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — A Truly Unforgettable Experience in Manuel Antonio I have traveled extensively, but my 3-day stay at Mountain Top Park Hotel was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I arrived, I knew this was not your average hotel — this was a destination experience. The property itself is breathtaking. Nestled in the lush jungle canopy above Manuel Antonio, the views are the kind that stop you mid-sentence. Every morning I woke up to the sounds of the rainforest, howler monkeys in the distance, and a sunrise that reminded me exactly why Costa Rica is called the "Rich Coast." The rooms are beautifully appointed, the grounds are immaculate, and the overall atmosphere strikes that rare perfect balance between luxury and pure nature. But what truly elevated this stay above anything I could have expected was one person — Jairo. Jairo is, without question, one of the finest hospitality professionals I have ever encountered anywhere in the world. From day one, he took the time to genuinely understand what I was looking for in my experience — not just as a guest, but as a person. He crafted a personalized itinerary tailored specifically to my interests, curated local recommendations I never would have discovered on my own, and checked in with me daily to make sure every detail exceeded expectations. His guided tour was an absolute highlight of my entire trip to Costa Rica. Jairo's knowledge of the local wildlife, the ecosystem, the culture, and the hidden gems of Quepos"
