Unbeatable location, down the street from NP Manuel Antonio entrance and on the other side the beautiful beach. Loads of nice cafes and small restaurants around. The hotel is quite cozy, with a small number of guests, so it feels very relaxing and private. Loads of animals come to the pool area, like giant lizards or monkeys.

“Luxury in the jungle”

The way the property is designed is wonderful. You feel like you are living in luxury in the jungle. The rooms are all tucked neatly into the foliage and it feels very calm and relaxing. I loved the iguanas that often spend time around the pool area. The bed and pillows are also extremely comfortable. It is also great that the hotel provides beach towels.

It was perfect. Great location. Walking distance to the beach, park, and lots of food options. The extra daily towels for the beach and pool is a nice perk!

“Lovely small hotel, ideally situated, just a couple of minutes on foot from Manual Antonio National”

Lovely small hotel, ideally situated, just a couple of minutes on foot from Manual Antonio National Park. Very friendly guy at the reception! Nice swimming pool to cool off after a warm day. We saw some lizards and white faced monkeys at the pool area, as the pool is surrounded by trees and plants. We appreciated that there was a dehumidifier in the room to dry clothes more quickly in this warm, humid climate.

Breakfast very good, close to Manuel Antonio Park, have parking, very close to beach , the beach is very nice. Monkeys to breakfast and iguanas in complex.

“A fab boutique hotel in a great location”

A lovely boutique hotel in a great location near the national park and the beach. The pool area is small but perfectly formed and we enjoyed relaxing there. The staff were friendly and helpful and our room was spacious and comfortable. We really enjoyed our 4 night stay here.

We loved that the hotel was a 3-minute walk to the beach, and in the middle of the two main streets in Manuel Antonio. We loved the jungle setting of the hotel, and the intimate pool, dining, bar area. We made friends with other vacationers while we were there in the relaxed setting. Their Wood-Fired Pizza was delicious, we got it twice, and really enjoyed the two-for-one drinks during happy hour at the pool. The resident lizards were cool to watch ch each day that came tothe pool area; and we saw monkeys right outside the front of our hotel, swinging in the trees and from the power lines.

“Great stay in a wonderful location on the Pacific Coast.....”

Good selection of food for breakfast, fresh fruit and hot food. Great location for the National Park (5 min walk). Safe clean beach 10 mins away. Selection of good value restaurants serving taste sea food.

“Perfect place to stay in Manuel Antonio”

Very well maintained beautiful tropical ground in the hotel and ideally located between the beach and the entrance of the park. It is a small hotel and we enjoyed one evening alone around the pool with cocktail and good pizzas from the stone oven - felt like a private villa. Rooms are very nice and comfortable , and everyone at the hotel is very kind and helpful. There are also lots of nice restaurant around. Would go back.

“Perfect perfect perfect. One of the best places we have ever stayed even though it was just a small hotel. Loved every m”

Everything was perfect. Location, comfort, staff. It is such a lovely little spot, very quiet and cosy, small yet has everything you need. Felt very cosy and relaxed. Pool was lovey rooms were brilliant… Staff was exceptional honestly the couldn’t do enough for you - helping above and beyond. If we come back to Manuel Antonio we will definitely stay at the same place. We had the most brilliant time. Thank you

Nice small hotel with helpful staff. It is very close to the national park and also to the Beach and restaurants. The room was very comfortable 👍🏻

“Great Location, Lovely Stay”

Nice hotel with a very good breakfast. Close to the national park, and close to the public beach, with some restaurants.

Beautiful hotel, nice staff, great locality (near to the beach and near to the national park)! And you can also watch some monkeys and lizards in the garden:).

In 5 minutes walking distance to Manuel Antonio National Park und beach. Nice staff. Very good and comprehensive breakfast.

“a great relaxing place with staff that made it feel like home in an exotic location”

good choice for breakfast- with fresh fruit - traditional Huevos Rancheros. with on 200m from beach and 500m from the National Park it was great. There were 7 restaurants within minutes walk.

Staff was wonderful! I lost my wallet, they let me know and sent me a photo of all my cards cut up. I was ++ grateful! Location is wonderful! Close to the beach and the national park.

“A very convenient location, great breakfast, compact size and friendly staff”

Breakfast was excellent and was really close to the beach. The pool was small but enough to enjoy a cool dip and especially around happy hour. The hotel was very compact, so very easy to get around.

“Great location”

La Vela hotel was located very close, less than 5min walking distance to Manuel Antonio national park. It's an excellent location especially in the morning when you're trying to get to the park so you don't have to waste time looking for parking and so on. Staff were very helpful and helped us change rooms because the first one had a broken appliance. One of the best things I've encountered in a hotel was present here, they equipped every room with a dehumidifier - this was highly appreciated by us as it was very humid when we visited , and we were also able to dry our clothes very easily which was impossible without it. So that was one thing which was great. Otherwise cleanliness etc was also great. The hotel pool area is nice for spotting capuchin monkeys and iguanas. They provide breakfast as well which is good.

“Good option”

Location is good. Near the Park entrance and quiet area. Breakfast was good. Staff always attentive.

“I would come again.”

The room was clean and spacious, as advertised. The staff were very friendly and exceptionally helpful. It's located right at the doorstep of the national park, making visits easy and relaxing.
