“Little gem near the beach”

Close to beach, Very comfortable beds, Super clean. Great pool! Staff lovely

“Enjoyed the stay and the pool”

Close to beach; pretty

“We had an amazing time at the Igloo Beach Lounge. The location is walking distance from the beach. The staff are genuine”

It was right by the beach! Each igloo was nicely designed and included a fan and AC, which is a game changer for sleeping well

Great location, very close to the beach which was super convenient. The garden area inside the property was really cute and gave a nice, relaxing vibe. The evening staff were very friendly and welcoming, which made the stay more pleasant.

“Great stay, location brilliant, and staff were amazing”

The staff were brilliant, location to the beach was so good and the igloos were surprisingly spacious. We really liked the quirky nature of this hotel

“Very well located. Cute igloos”

The hotel is extremely well located. 20min walk to the entry of the national park. Beach is 200m away. They provide pool/beach towels. The igloos are relatively spacious and clean. Bed was quite comfortable and the pool was nice although often filled with screaming kids. Staff was really friendly and listed to my request to have an igloo a bit away from the noise (gave us one in the back which was vey appreciated)

“The perfect stay in Manuel Antonio!”

Exceptionally located a few steps away from a spectacular bay and 10 mins afoot from the Manuel Antonio National park entrance, this is the perfect place to explore this luscious area of Costa Rica but also to relax on the beach or with a cocktail in the pool. The igloo are a great idea and make a comfortable accommodation.

“Hotel endorsed tour with clear animal welfare concerns”

A hotel’s service is only as good as its willingness to take responsibility when something goes wrong - especially when the situation arises from a service they helped arrange. During my stay, reception actively facilitated a horseback riding tour at the beach. The receptionist personally walked me to the provider, stayed during the arrangements, and presented it as a trusted option. I was told to pay $75 in cash, which required walking to an ATM. When I arrived for the ride, the horses were visibly underweight, dirty, and poorly equipped. Their condition was deeply concerning. I stopped the ride after only a few minutes because I did not feel comfortable participating in what, in my view, amounted to animal neglect. Although the receptionist initially acknowledged that the horses looked “descuidados,” the hotel did not take responsibility when the provider refused to refund me. At checkout the next morning, the incident was completely ignored. Costa Rica promotes strong standards of animal welfare, yet this hotel chose to facilitate and endorse a service involving horses in visibly poor condition. By arranging and directing guests to this provider, the hotel is effectively supporting an activity that overlooks basic animal welfare. I do not recommend booking tours through this hotel. When a hotel connects guests to a service provider, there should be accountability if something goes wrong. I hope the management reflects on the services it promotes so future guests are not placed in a similar situation.

Everything. Knowledgeable and caring staff. Unique stay. Boutique feel to the furnishing of the “igloos” Nice cocktails

“Eskimo at 33 degrees ;-)”

Very friendly staff in unusual ambience. Close to the beach and Manuel Antonio Natl. Park. The rooms were modern style, great pool. Good breakfast.

Great location right next to Espadilla Beach and just a 5-minute drive from Manuel Antonio National Park. The hotel has a trendy vibe, the room was comfortable and very clean, and there was easy access to the pool area right outside the room.
