Hotel Plaza Yara
I can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at Plaza Yara. The staff was incredibly helpful with recommendations and information. The property backs up to Manuel Antonio National Park. We heard the howler monkeys in the am and pm and saw lots of macaws!

Boutique Hotel Las Cascadas The Falls
We spent our honeymoon in Costa Rica in jaco, Manuel Antonio and uvida. This was our favorite, a hotel out of all 3 spots. Amazing views a fantastic nature feel! If you like puppies when we went, they had a very well behaved puppy named oso always made coming back to the hotel. Feel like home.

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed ...

Parador Nature Resort and Spa
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 ...
