"The breakfast is very good and served in front of the sea. A very nice view. The rooms in front of the sea had also a very nice view. The room was clean and big. The bed was king with very good pillows. Near the hotel had a lot of nice restaurants. "

"This is a 5 star resort with 5 star staff that work there. The only thing negative is the fact that it’s a bit isolated so it’s not easy to walk into the “town” of Manuel Antonio. They have overcome most of that with scheduled shuttle vans to the public beaches. And the drivers are very kind and accommodating regarding the drop off locations and time frames. The food for breakfast was exceptional as was the food at the restaurants on site. Well done!"

"This place was a little piece of paradise. We enjoyed our stay sooo much. Central to everything, staff was amazing and the rooms and food were excellent. Will definitely be back!! Claro Que si!"

"Great staff! Rodrigo at breakfast daily was friendly and quick. Wood fired pizza at the pool for lunch was delicious. And was great to be so close to the manual Antonio park and easy walk to the public beach. Rest of staff was super friendly and helpful. "

"This hotel is an absolute dream! The rooms are beautifully appointed, comfortable and private. The pools are gorgeous, especially the saltwater infinity pool where you can relax and watch the most magnificent sunsets over the Pacific Ocean. Food is excellent, and drink selections at all the bars are fantastic, made with natural fruit and premium spirits. Don’t forget to check out the small private beach, where you’ll find white-faced capuchin monkeys swinging from the trees. A stay at Makanda will make Manuel Antonio even more magical!"

"I stayed here with two of my friends for the last leg of our Costa Rica trip to celebrate my 40th birthday and cannot say enough good things about this hotel! The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. We also had a gorgeous patio as well as a rooftop terrace, which was wonderful for enjoying coffee in the mornings and watching the macaws 🤗 Our personal concierge, Stephanie, was incredibly helpful and communicative during our stay. She checked in on us each day and helped to coordinate dinner reservations in town, taxi rides and even a private cooking class onsite for us at the hotel! ☺️ The hotel is beautifully positioned at the top of a hill, with excellent views of the ocean, and wildlife. We saw macaws everyday, as well as toucans and parakeets. I highly recommend taking the complimentary scarlet macaw tour on the property to learn more about the native wildlife. We saw three sloths on our tour, including a mom +baby! If you are visiting Manuel Antonio, I highly recommend booking your stay at Gaia!"

"There really is nothing to fault. What an incredible stay. Perfect location. Easy to walk to the beach and local restaurants, supermarket etc. Staff were just delightful esp on reception and in Anaconda, made such a fuss over my son for his birthday. Room was huge and the view, well just to die for, (B2) never had such a large balcony, it was amazing. I did question this hotel before I booked as there was some mixed reviews and the pictures were dated, I am so glad we did, it exceeded all expectations. We had sloths in the trees by reception, the best daily monkey breakfasts which were hilarious, especially when we had our French toast stolen. Just magic. Thank you!!!"
