Manuel Antonio Konaklamanızı Bulun

This hotel was the highlight of our accommodations during our 9-day trip in Costa Rica. The view alone was worth the price of the stay. I requested this hotel when I booked my trip through a travel agency so didn’t look at photos of the room beforehand. I based my request of the high ratings from TripAdvisor and was not disappointed. The king-sized bed was so comfortable, I slept 12 hours on my first night there, which is rare for me anywhere. This was a family trip, with kids aged 11 and 7, so I was a bit worried that their bed would be a pull-out from converted sofa. It wasn’t. It was the same high-quality comfortable bed but in a queen size, and the kids slept well. The whole hotel was well-designed and integrated into the surroundings, so in addition to the view, we saw lizards and monkeys roam the premises. Such a treat! The kids pool has a waterslide that the kids went on over and over again and had a blast. We only had 2 nights here because of scheduling, but I honestly think we could have stayed 3 more and still enjoyed ourselves. This is a special place that I will be recommending to any one who is visiting Costa Rica!

My wife and I stayed a week at GAIA and it was AMAZING! Upon arriving at the property the staff was fantastic. They greeted us by name once we entered the gate and brought us up to reception where we were met with a VIP experience. Alex and Stephanie were beyong accomodating and went above and beyond. They setup all of our activities and made all the necessary accommodations including transportation. They even sent me all the details to make sure I had all the right info. Then they followed up with us to make sure everything went well. They set us up on a park tour with our guide Clarence who was phenomenal! He was not only informative but tremendously skilled at his job as well. He helped my wife get amazing pictures of the wildlife and was a pleasure to talk to. Clarence as well was our guide for the Macaw tour and we were given a top notch tour once again. The restaurant staff was superb to say the least. Ricardo, Steven, Adam, Andre, and Steven from Columbia were phenomenal hosts and made us feel like family. The service was second to none. We were made to feel welcome and all our needs were attended to. The food was wonderful and we couldn't of asked for a better experience. Boris the owner would even come greet us at breakfast in the mornings to say hello and make sure we were enjoying our stay. My wife and I loved this trip to Manuel Antonio and a big reason we did was because of the staff and our stay at Gaia. The property was beautiful and amazing.

Beautiful location, right across the street from a great beach! It's at the end of the road , just past the entrance to Manuel Antonio Park, which is 300 meters away. It has the classis old Costa Rican vibe, but is kept very clean, with gorgeous grounds. You may even catch the white-faced monkeys in the trees behind, which we saw on our last (third) day. The front desk people are awesome, especially Jenny and Ivan, who actually sought out and found the best zip lining experience in the area, and booked it for us. Restaurants (especially liked El Avión less than a km away), grocery, and souvenirs all within easy walking distance. Everything you need is right there. Would definitely stay there again!

We stayed at this hotel for a couple of nights while visiting Manuel Antonio National Park. It is a very lovely little hotel situated on a hill and attached to a restaurant that provides free breakfast for its guests (check to make sure your room has it included, I believe some rooms did not). Things we liked - the rooms were very clean, well arranged, there was a small safe (you have to get a key from the desk), A/C (very needed - it is quite hot and humid in the area), a fairly large pool with a bar and lounge chairs (free), and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Also bonus - they have a cat! (or possibly a couple of them). Breakfast was nice, a few choices and some add-ons like bacon, ham etc. that you have to pay extra for but I thought they had enough options - typical breakfast, ham and cheese sandwich and yogurt and granola as well as coffee/tea and orange juice. Wait staff were great too. The entire building is very beautiful, there is a lush green garden all around, hammocks by the rooms outside and the furnishings were nice too. Things that could be better - NOT entirely an accessible hotel, I cannot stress this enough! They do have golf carts and will drive you up to your rooms (the rooms are up a hill as well) and I believe if you have a wheelchair, you might be able to go up the ramp to the rooms as well but don't quote me on that. The golf carts are not available 24/7 so if you cannot walk down the stairs or down the hill on the path, you might end up stuck in your room or down by the reception. The restaurant is down some stairs as well. Big tip - inspect your room when you get in! We noticed our room had some existing damage to the night stand and bed headboard and immediately reported to the manager to ensure we were not charged for existing damage (they were aware of it and sent someone up just to check but did not give us any trouble!) - take pictures when you get in and let management know if you notice anything. Overall, would recommend this hotel. Very nice, ample parking and easy to find. Walking distance to a few nice restaurants and short distance from the beaches and Manuel Antonio National Park as well as the neighbouring town of Quepos if you need groceries (note, no fridges in the rooms!).

What a beautiful and nostalgic hotel…our room had our own lap pool complete with cushioned lounge chairs…happy hour was a 2 for 1 deal and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and friendly…we swam and lounged out at the main pool…so relaxing! A free breakfast was included with our room (other breakfast items available at additional cost)..just enough to get our morning started before we headed out for the day! Pre COVID I’m sure the outside pool bar would be open which is always a plus when hanging out at the pool! Definitely on our list when we return to Costa Rica next year!

This is my first review although I travel with Melbourne see the world who has had over 300 reviews published. Upon arrival today we were greeted by an unwelcoming team member at reception. We were asked several odd questions including would we like a key to the safe and would we like our room serviced daily. Of course we answered yes to both and were left wondering why we had even beenasked these questions. Next we were shown to our room which was not the room we had booked and paid for. Our booking confirmation clearly stated we had booked a deluxe upstairs room however we were allocated a down stairs room. After some discussion with the not so welcoming team member and being told to be quiet whilst she explained to me what had happened she did acknowledge we had indeed booked an upstairs room but as the hotel was fully booked she was unable to provide the correct room. The downstairs rooms are on the walk ways and do not offer any privacy if you wish to sit outside. In addition to this we are located next to the underground septic tanks which exude a putrid smell making it impossible to sit outside without feeling nauseous. Regrettably we are here for 3 nights and are yet to receive an apology or solution to the inappropriate room we have been allocated which I find totally unacceptable.

The photos of their rooms look exactly like the actual room we received ! If anything the room appeared bigger than what we expected. We had booked the king bed room overlooking the pool and it was perfect. Except for one thing that I shouldn't/wouldn't have let bother me but here is what happened - you do the decision. I asked about laundry service and was told by the front desk guy that I should save my $$'s and use the oversize bathroom sink (and it was) then hang my clothes on the little wire units that were in the shower area. Simple enough except after I did the wash and rinse & squeeze of as much water as possible, I went to hang the clothes on the wire and it broke, so pulled out the 2nd one, same thing it broke before I could even hang anything up ! So I went back down to the front desk and explained it all and this time the gal that was there told me to bag it up and they would do it for $7/kilo, I stated that I would do this but since it was already wet, there wouldn't be an accurate weight. She told me not to worry and that they would weigh it after it was dry, so I complied and dropped it off. Next day I went to retrieve it and was alarmed that my 3 tee shirts, 2 shorts and a couple of underwear's were going to cost way over $20 ! I was told be a different person that there was nothing that could be done and I could just pay it or they would add it to my bill at checkout. I paid the bill for what may have been 3 lbs (1.25 kilos max) of stuff. So in closing stay here for the rooms (and we probably would again) but don't have your laundry done here because they will ream you !
