Quepos Hoteller

Fordeler: Excellent comfort, v friendly staff and good was great

Ulemper: Food menu could vary more from night to night as were there for a few days

Fordeler: Good swimming pool. Good restaurant. Nature amazing

Ulemper: Room very dirty. Expensive restaurant. I ordered a burguer for my kids and a burguer for me. They were exactly the same, but the kids burger costed u$9 and my burguer costed u$20. Bizarre and ...

Fordeler: Very beautiful hotel in a wonderful setting, many animals already on site, own beach, tennis courts, swimming pools, superb breakfast ... all you need for a relaxing and luxurious stay at a '...

Ulemper: nothing

Fordeler: Marjorie worked the breakfast shift every morning and cooked omelettes for guests as per their requests. She was so sweet and accommodating. She was shy but always welcomed us with a smile. Even ...

Fordeler: The staff was so kind The view was very good,but not from ours room

Ulemper: In the time we stay, they were working in the hotel, there was so much noice in the rooms and around the pool.. They sould have informed us about the working in the hotel !! We pay full price thet ...

Fordeler: It was beautiful, well kept, and there was so much to do! The variety of pools are wonderful and refreshing. My husband and I don't speak spanish, but the staff made it really easy for us to ...

Ulemper: The only down side was actually pretty major. They charged us twice for our room, and my husband had to spend most of the first day of our honeymoon trying to convince them that it had happened. They ...

Fordeler: I loved everything about it. Service, food, views, walkways, pools, flora, fauna, room. Also liked the old Spanish decor and feel. Hot tub on the vista suite balcony with ocean view was a sweet little...

Fordeler: Loved the property and wildlife. Food was good. Rooms were comfortable. Staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel provided many special touches to make the experience enjoyable. Ocean views ...

Ulemper: Shower water not always hot, had to wait a while for it to get hot and sometimes it just didn't happen.

Fordeler: Very clean and modern design. Suites have beautiful views.

Ulemper: Should have been all inclusive for the price.

Fordeler: The friendly staff, the gym and the area

Fordeler: The view was amazing!

Fordeler: Staff

Ulemper: Many stairs to go to the Room, The First room that we saw not smell good

Fordeler: Just perfect for what we needed. We had a crazy day of rain while we were here so actually spent a full day relaxing in the apartment (other than a mad dash to the shops and back) and it's so ...

Ulemper: Everything was great.

Fordeler: We stayed in a nice room with a kitchenette, which had everything we needed to cook for ourselves. A good amount of space, a pretty balcony, and an air conditioner and ceiling fan to keep us cook at ...

Ulemper: The neighbor's roosters will wake you up at around 5 a.m., but its part of the experience.

Fordeler: It was a lovely hotel and the room was perfectly suited to cook and eat with grocery stores nearby. The hostess was very kind and helpful.

Ulemper: It was a little difficult to find, but it was our first trip to Costa Rica and locations are indicated differently there. With the help of very nice local people we did find it and were very happy ...

Fordeler: Really nice and helpful staff. The room was big and clean with a big fridge and breakfast table/chairs. Secure (gated) parking onsite. Really good location if you are planning to visit Manuel ...

Ulemper: We had a minor problem with the toilet flush, but that was probably due to the heavy rain (in some streets you may notice the sewerage system being improved). Anyway it was solved quickly.

Fordeler: The room was perfect, clean, the kitchen well equipped, nice restroom, good internet. The girl who did the check in was so friendly, I will come back and will spread the word across all my friends. I ...

Ulemper: The gate for the parking lot, you need to open it manually and use a manual lock for it. It would be nice if they had an electric control for the gate. However, once the car is there it feels safe, ...

Fordeler: We enjoyed staying in a non-touristy area near to Manuel Antonio. The area was sate to stroll about. Parking was very safe.

Ulemper: I wish there was a central location in the complex to sit in comfort and relax or read.

Fordeler: The room is really big, well equiped with every thing you need includind a kitchen. The hosts are very nice and willing to help with everything. There is free organize parking and supermarket near ...

Fordeler: This was a great value, centrally located in Quepos. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Fordeler: Secure parking, very nice staff. Ac and fan, hot water and hair dryer in the bathroom. Very nice and clean property (it doesn't look like it from the outside though). Would definitely come again.

Fordeler: Very clean. Beautiful, cosy apartment. Secure parking. Located in typical Costa Rican inner city neighbourhood.

Ulemper: Need GPS to find this place which is typical for destinations in Costa Rica

Fordeler: Rent appartment, godt utstyrt kjøkken, gode senger og veldig hyggelig og behjelpsom personal. Var veldig sikkert.

Fordeler: La Mariposa was the perfect place for us to unwind from a very stressful time. We wanted to move in and stay forever! The staff were extraordinary and very accommodating, the views and setting ...

Ulemper: Our only complaint is that the beds were very stiff but we looked beyond that because everything else was perfect!

Fordeler: Excellent location - stunning view from room over ocean - must be one of the best panoramas from a hotel room in Costa Rica. Maybe even the world

Ulemper: Some of the staff were great, but some were officious. It was stated in our guide that dinner stopped at 10pm. One night early in our stay we turned up after a long day at 925pm to eat only to be told...

Fordeler: I especially liked the macaw coming to the swimming pool, balcony and terrace views, greenery around and hanging plants of basil and lettuce

Ulemper: None

Fordeler: We were upgraded to a suite with full ocean view. The rooms were super clean, comfortable and the pools were great. We loved having lunch and mojitos at the swim up bar . Breakfast was delightful and ...

Ulemper: The original room we booked had some problems but we were upgraded to an amazing suite.

Fordeler: Stunning views from its amazing infinity pool. Beautiful hotel surroundings. Excellent service, professional and personalised. Lovely staff! Delicious breakfast. Great location.

Fordeler: The view is fantástic, 360. The staff is very helpful, specially Bryan from the frontdesk.

Ulemper: The beds are to hard

Fordeler: I loved La Mariposa! The view is spectacular! The room is very large, the bathroom is spacious, the balcony is huge, the pool is great, the breakfast is awesome, and the staff is the best! I ...

Ulemper: No complaints at all

Fordeler: The views of the wildlife were wonderful-especially at breakfast. Clean rooms, great service and fabulous views of the ocean

Fordeler: The monkeys near the hotel!

Ulemper: I was accomodated in a room with a lot of stairs and really far from all ammenities.

Fordeler: Great views in a beautiful location. There was nothing partial about our 'partial ocean view' room. The concierge was helpful in planning activities and the included breakfast made for a ...

Fordeler: Beautiful hotel. Close to activities & great ocean views

Ulemper: Beds are horrible. Old & no box springs. Seven nights was almost unbearable. Ant's in the room. Overpriced for the supposed best hotel in town.

Fordeler: The view is incredible, the rooms/beds are comfortable and the breakfast is delicious. Falafel Bar across the street had great food too.

Ulemper: Some of the staff were rude and came off pretentious. This is especially annoying when you're on vacation and just want to let loose. TOO MANY KIDS. They pretty much took up the entire pool, were loud and spent all day there. I didn't have a moment to enjoy it until I went after 10pm. DO NOT GO TO FRED'S next door. We stepped in for a minute to check it out and the guy immediately hollered at us from across the place that we had to spend at least $10 or we had to leave. Um bye. The Wi-Fi also went down for an entire day, for the price you pay to stay here this was unacceptable.

Fordeler: The Hotel is right next to the entrance gates to the Manuel Antonio National Park so really handy for an early start to beat the queues. The Hotel looks & feels very tired. The huge bedrooms have...

Ulemper: Very expensive and rather poor value for money, but that's the price you pay for convenience. Oh and truly awful Daiquiris.

Fordeler: Location

Ulemper: There was no A.C. anywhere in the waiting etc. Jacuzzi was solar heated and as a result the water was cold (it was a cloudy day) Quality and choice at breakfast was very poor. No other family ...

Fordeler: the room smelled awful- just awful

Ulemper: the room and bathroom were stinky and filthy

Fordeler: The staff at the Hotel San Bada was superb they were extremely helpful and were checking frequently if all was ok or there was anything that could be improved. We traveled with two elderly and the ...

Ulemper: The beach close to the Hotel is nice but not ideal for swimming instead a good surf beach. The other beach in Manuel Antonio park is very nice but you have to pay every time you enter the park which ...

Fordeler: Very clean. Close to beach. Next door to park. Large covered group meeting area to watch nature. Excellent customer service. Coffee available in room. Excellent variety of food and service at ...

Ulemper: We were there during slow season and lots of rain. English channels on tv are minimal. There are minimal things to do during down time. Especially at night. An indoor (because bugs are out at night...

Fordeler: Beautiful & comfortable property. Staff was super attentive. Monkeys right outside our room!

Fordeler: The hotel its self was lovely - the rooms were spacious, clean and very comfortable. The breakfast was included, which was great. For dinner, the restaurant was more expensive the options outside the ...

Fordeler: This is the Best cost-balance located Hotel at Quepos, if you're looking for a nice family beach time, at the Best Quepos Beaches (Manuel Antonio Beach and Espadilla Beach). You sleep very well, ...

Ulemper: I was so happy with my stay, just take mosquito repellent and use it everywhere at the hotel and the park, specially after 04:00 pm.

Fordeler: location; friendly staff. Excellent breakfast also!

Ulemper: -

Fordeler: The hotel is right next to the rain forest and is pretty amazing! You can see monkeys from your room. It's walking distance to the beach as well. Staff was very good as well.

Ulemper: The hotel did not have my reservation when I checked in. But it wasn't an issue they got me checked in.

Fordeler: We stayed in a deluxe room with a king bed and jacuzzi bath. It was outstanding. We could see the ocean from our balcony and the rainforest is quite literaly right next to the property. I can't say enough about how good the experience was. I wouldn't even consider staying anywhere else if I went back. Christian, one of the hotel's concierge staff members, was especially helpful. I went on an excursion and accidentally left my credit card back at the hotel, except I needed it for the excursion. Christian exceeded my expectations by helping with the logistics by finding a workaround to avoid what would have otherwise been a big problem. As a result, I had an amazing experience. Everything else was incredible - from the swim up bar in the pool to the roof deck. I really can't say enough about it.

Ulemper: Everything about the property and staff consistently exceeded my expectations. I have no complaints.

Fordeler: We loved staying here!! The hotel was absolutely gorgeous and the staff was so, so friendly. The staff members greeted us by name and we always felt welcome. The location of the hotel is superb and so close to the beach. I would definitely stay here again!

Ulemper: No beach view from our room, but the proximity to the beach and other key attractions more than made up for it.

Fordeler: Brekfast was truly fantastic, as was the location. The pool was nice, and staff gave flavoured water free which was great.

Ulemper: First: the room was a mess. AC didnt work. We had bugs (as in cockroaches and lizards) come inside. The bed sheets were so bad, they had chitras which literally feasted on us: our feet and legs were ...

Fordeler: Tucked away at the end of a long busy touristy road full of hotels and restaurants, this hotel is tucked away at the endof it all and is surrounded by a huge ga rden. Minutes walk from the park,it&#39...

Ulemper: Staff isnt as friendly as in most places we stayed. Had to push for a room on park side, although two were free. Had to ask breakfast staff to serve us by pool,otherwise they just ignore you. Dont ome...

Fordeler: Location and everything surrounded by plants

Ulemper: Breakfast could be better.

Fordeler: Extensive breakfast menu, very quiet, great pool and the staff were exceptional. They were closing the hotel the day we left for staff vacations but they still let us shower near reception before ...

Ulemper: The bar kept running out of ice, and it closed at 10pm!

Fordeler: Near the beach. Near the wildlife park. Quiet location. Private trail. Pool and bar Wildlife. Good restaurant.

Ulemper: Noisy external A/C unit near bathroom window irritating overnight (room 18). A/C in room too noisy to leave on overnight.

Fordeler: Staff was excellent

Ulemper: The bathrooms were like dungeons

Fordeler: This was the perfect location if you want to visit Manuel Antonio National Park. The hotel is a 3 minute walk to the entrance of the park while also a 3 minute walk to the beach. That being the case...

Fordeler: Fantastic location 200m from entrance to National Park and 150m from the beach and shops. V. good reception staff - he arranged a tour guide for us to visit the National Park the same afternoon we ...

Ulemper: The room did not have enough furniture or storage space or stands to put cases on. The super king size bed was uncomfortable. The shower did not drain properly. The curtains did not shut out the light...

Fordeler: Owner made us feel at home. Breakfast was simple and satisfying. Very nice pool and full size gym! Excellent swordfish lunch.Friendly staff. Thank you, from Mat, Jessi and Axel!

Ulemper: Wish it was a little closer to the beach, but it is still worth staying at by far.

Fordeler: Green zones and location

Ulemper: The parking lot

Fordeler: The swimming pool was clean and the restaurant looked nice.

Ulemper: The rooms were quite noisy due to the street close by and there was no fridge in the room. The patio was shared with the neighbouring room. Additionally, the location of the patio did not allow any ...

Fordeler: It was the only avaible place on high season.

Ulemper: Its really far away from the party

Fordeler: Clean room, nice swimming pool, parking space

Ulemper: Had reserved an extra bed which they did not provide, not enough towels, slow service at the restaurant.

Fordeler: Spacious clean room with comfortable beds, breakfast was fine. Nice swimming pool.

Fordeler: Air conditioning worked great. Economical for a one night stay. Room was clean. Mattress was comfortable.

Ulemper: The pool wasn't useable. The temperature was so ridiculously hot, it was like trying to sit in a bathtub. Bed had almost no bedding, just one sheet on it. Thin walls, could hear the next room ...

Fordeler: Staff, breakfast, pool and air conditioner were all excellent. No problems

Ulemper: Need directions to hotel. Sort of out of the way, somewhat hard to find

Fordeler: It was cool and dry and clean inside the room. The pool is great!! The people are beautiful and friendly. There is a cool back yard patio that looks out to the forest and we saw monkeys and cool ...

Ulemper: A mini fridge inside the room would be cool.

Fordeler: Breakfast was very nice and staff would substitute scrambled eggs for fried eggs. I also especially liked the fact that there was a gym on site that you could use for free. I would highly recommend ...

Ulemper: A minor thing is the location. It is not as close to Manuel Antonio than some of the other places but it is not far (about 15 mins by car) and town is about 5 mins by car. Again, this is minor and ...

Fordeler: Loved everything at this hotel. The hotel is in the middle of a lush green forest. Location is great, close to everything. The whole place looks so beautiful and relaxing. Wish I could stay a little ...

Ulemper: Pool water was a little dirty. Poor wifi signal inside rooms.

Fordeler: Very nice hotel. Helpful staf. Garden and breakfast area was lovely and relaxing. Hotel is located in the centre about 20 mins walk to the beach or you can take a bus for $1.75.

Fordeler: Friendly staff. Good location, nice rooms. They say they do not have wifi in the room. Our room was facing the pool so we had good wifi in the room

Fordeler: Privacy Large room Good breakfast Nice shady pool area which we saw monkeys and tucans at

Ulemper: Minor music noise from nearby residence, stopped by 9pm

Fordeler: The staff, super helpful, they have their own excursion office which makes it super easy to book any trip you would like around Manuel Antonio and good restaurant recommandation :) The rooms are cosy ...

Ulemper: A bit pricy but that's the place that want that and the high season kicking in !

Fordeler: Super Value! Great pool and balcony area. Awesome location! Bank, stores, bars and restaurants all within a 100 yards, yet quiet. Monkeys viewed at property. Easy, cheap bus ride to Manuel Antonio or ...

Fordeler: Delicious breakfast, lovely staff, clean room.

Ulemper: Problem accessing wifi. Password didn't work.

Fordeler: Location was excellent! Close to many good restaurants and not too far from the beach and Parque Nacional. Staff was really nice. Breakfast was good, freshly cooked for you. Unfortunately ...

Ulemper: We got the standard room which is the less expensive. Having said that, accommodations were more than basics. Room was very small and needed some renovations. Toilet and faucet were old and noisy. The...

Fordeler: The people working there are really nice. Also, i personally enjoyed the brekfast so much. It is close to everything in Manuel Antonio.

Ulemper: The rooms need mainteinance, the bathroom floor need some cleanup. The beach towels look terrible. All the furniture needs some adjustment.

Fordeler: The location is across from small supermarket and yoga studio. Access to bus was easy and hotel about halfway between Manuel Antonio park and Quepos. Private area behind hotel nice for relaxing.

Ulemper: Room had steps down to bed-level and again down to bath level. This was dark and could be dangerous at night. No ice. Mattress uncomfortable. Could be cleaner.

Fordeler: Bed was nice and comfortable. Pretty good location

Ulemper: Hotel pool was tiny, included breakfast only had 3 small options, and the entire hotel looked like it was built in the Soviet Union in 1970. Our room was in a basement-type area, with little natural light and very poor water pressure. Bad for the price!

Fordeler: Secure setting with friendly and helpful reception staff. The property was in a good position to beaches and restaurants but access is only really safe by car or by taking the bus very near to the ...

Ulemper: The rooms could do with some updating of their decor but were still in good condition. The breakfasts included in our price were very tasty, more variety would be good if you were staying longer than...

Fordeler: Nice big clean rooms. Comfy beds. Equipped kitchen for lunches out on the terrace. Love the hammock. Good shower pressure. Nice pool area. Good breakfast.

Ulemper: If you want spectacular views this may not ne your place.

Fordeler: The room was a really well designed. The pool was great, the breakfast also. We so lots of squirrel monkeys with their baby's and it was awesome :)

Ulemper: Thats the only place who rates 550 colones per dollars while all the places exchange it by 500 colones per dollar :/

Fordeler: We LOVED our stay at Villa Mymosa. Our unit was huge, with a kitchen with all the utensils needed to cook meals & a full-sized fridge/freezer so we could even have ice cream. The pool was the perfect temperature & with only 10 units, it was never crowded. The staff were all friendly & helpful, but our favorite was the owner's dog, Meg. So nice to have a furry head to pet when missing our own! Villa Mymosa is set a little above town, so you feel separated from the hustle of Quepos. And the monkeys! We saw tons of capuchins, partly because the owner directed us to where they would be during breakfast. How can you complain about a place that has a morning monkey travel report? Great stay, highly recommend.

Ulemper: No complaints!

Fordeler: Great. Our room, or ‘villa’ and indeed the whole site was actually much nicer than expected from the website photos. Toucans and sloth seen around the hotel. It’s Manuel Antonio at Christmas so ...

Ulemper: Cons: Its more suited to families than other travellers. The big family suites are ideal for families so it means the small pool is dominated much of the time by family groups/children who make ...

Fordeler: Good room and friendly service

Ulemper: The location is NOT in the middle of the village as indicated on the map. This is misleading. You need your car for everything

Fordeler: Have stayed many times and is always a pleasure

Ulemper: Electrical problems but the staff took care of it

Fordeler: Lovely views. Large condo style.

Ulemper: The place did not seem clean. The interior is very dated. When it rained the sound from the rain on this type of roof was deafening and not acceptable. Door and windows need better seals as a lot ...

Fordeler: Large, nice suite with modern showers and facilities. The location is beautiful and surrounded by Palm plantations and forest. Chip is very friendly and we were served a great breakfast.

Ulemper: This location is very far up a gravel road from Quepos in the opposite direction of Manuel Antonio Park. It takes a good 20 minutes to get from the main road to the hotel and it is not an easy drive...

Fordeler: We had a great time. It's a great place, great staff and they do wonderful work. Don't miss a tourof the animal shelter. The cabins had an amazing shower. Wonderful pool and grounds.

Ulemper: Be aware that it's about a 15 minute drive to Quepos. If you're looking for quiet secluded evenings - this is the place.

Fordeler: Amazing location and beautiful garden . Our cottage was great, clean and comfortable .

Fordeler: The grounds and garden were lovely and the host was warm and friendly.

Ulemper: The road into the property was quite rough.

Fordeler: Very big room and bathroom Beautiful swimming pool and park Very nice host

Ulemper: Could be refresh in some areas lobby and main breakfast room.

Fordeler: Chip the owner is a great guy! Makes you feel at home right away! A must visit!!

Fordeler: The breakfasts and atmosphere was amazing!

Fordeler: A wonderful welcome. A place far away from the crowd but close enough to Quepos if you rented a 4 wheels drive car. The owner and his team are doing an amazing job with the foundation kids save the ...

Ulemper: Hot water does not work a long time but anyways with the hot climate you don't need much.

Fordeler: Beautiful location deep in the heart of the rainforest. Comfy beds and clean rooms. Great to meet the staff and volunteers involved in KSTR

Ulemper: At this price point then a little more thought and effort needs to be employed on the customer's comforts. A well stocked fridge with cold beverages, a better breakfast offer and having towels ...

Fordeler: The location in the middle of the jungle was wonderful and Chip, the owner was so welcoming. The refuge of the children's association for the animals was next door and was a great way to see and ...

Ulemper: The only thing was not having food for the evening and having to go back to town, although they let us use the kitchen to cook what we needed...

Fordeler: It's a cute place and very peaceful inside. The included breakfast and all day coffee is great. I liked that it's right by the water in the heart of Quepos.

Ulemper: The rooms are a bit plain and the AC wasn't great, but with ceiling fan it was fine. The TV is old and cannot accept HDMI.

Fordeler: highly recommend this hotel!! high quality bed/bathroom for a good price. staff went above and beyond to accommodate us and help us find transportation, tours, and attractions. location is perfect...

Fordeler: Walking distance to everything - bus stop close by to Manuel Antonio. Close to market and the malecon along the ocean. Staff were so helpful! Thank you Jordie and Rachel at reception and front desk ...

Ulemper: N/A - everything was great. Very good value - clean and breakfast was good.

Fordeler: A beautiful room, overlooking a pool, quiet, dark at night, fan+air con, very comfortable, quality linens, a nice environment, friendly and helpful staff, restaurants nearby, watch the sunsets, smell ...

Fordeler: Even though it's in the main town the rooms are quiet. Pool is awsome. Bed, AC, bathroom were excellent.

Ulemper: I was furious by the maid talking really loud in the morning, so loud that She woke me up I had to get out of my room and asked her to lower her tone. I didn't like that there's no parking lot...

Fordeler: Good clean and safe budget hotel. Nice communal area by pool with hot water and free coffee. Helpful staff. Good TV with English speaking channels. Breakfast of eggs, rice and beans, toast, juice, ...

Ulemper: Quepos is a dull place. There was only on road parking but there was a security guard.

Fordeler: When we checked in we were met by the nicest, most helpful young man who spoke perfect English! He was very helpful in every way

Ulemper: Bed was lumpy

Fordeler: Location near the marina,bakeries and Wacky Wanda. Newly redone.Great pool.

Ulemper: No towels at the pool. Location of book exchange.Too close to the stairs.

Ulemper: Breakfast was always the same

Fordeler: Room not too noisy Bed not so bad

Ulemper: Very expensive for the level of comfort offered

Fordeler: Manager was fantastic and friendly. We suffered a 3 hours power outage (all of Central America ) and we're allowed to stay cool in the pool. That was major.

Fordeler: nice place, nice area

Ulemper: lack of security

Fordeler: This hotel is very special! The owner, Wolfgang and his staff were sweet and hospitable. The breakfast was soooooo yummy and fresh! The rooms and hotel area were super clean. The pool is large and ...

Ulemper: It was a perfect time!

Fordeler: Excellency

Ulemper: Neighborhood could be cleaner.

Fordeler: Hotel well located in a quiet area and at 20 minutes from the beach and 15 minutes from the Marina. The staff is warm, nice and helpful. The room is clean and the breakfast is good. I really enjoyed...

Ulemper: Nothing to say

Fordeler: Location, quiet, a little rustic but very comfortable, pretty

Ulemper: Two cockroaches in bathroom but in Costa Rica there is a multitude of living creatures

Fordeler: Buffet style breakfast. good choice,helpful and smiley staff.

Ulemper: Villa Romatica is a small hotel and would benefit from Serving breakfast on an individual basis.

Fordeler: The whole staff, Yanina, Gilberto, Yami, and the grounds keeper are all wonderful. They are very attentive, and make you feel at home. The owner, Wolfgang, was very cordial and made sure my stay was...

Ulemper: I had to leave!

Fordeler: The staff was extremely helpful and really kind. It was a quiet beautiful place, near all of the main activities around!

Fordeler: There were monkeys in the trees

Ulemper: The parking space was not good.

Fordeler: possibilities of mangrove tour and kayaking. room had enough space to settle 4 people.

Ulemper: the hotel was empty and even with this our family with two children was set into the room without warm water. remote control from airconditioner worked for 5 minutes. I got cold coffee for breakfast...

Fordeler: The property was very pretty and the rooms were comfortable. There was a little bit of a language barrier. When we checked in, no-one spoke English and we needed help renting a car.

Ulemper: Plan to rent a car if you stay here. There are no amenities within walking distance.

Fordeler: Breakfast was fantastic. Home made just for us. Delicious and fresh.

Ulemper: It was a little off the beaten path. You have to want to get there.

Fordeler: Friendly staff

Ulemper: The arrangement that the AC is shut down each time the door is opened is annoying.

Fordeler: We did a night kayak tour through the mangrove forest!

Fordeler: The place is very nice The breakfast was very good Free access to the open kitchen and even enabled us to use some of the products they had in the fridge - eggs, etc. The kids liked the swimming ...

Ulemper: I would have liked to have a fridge in the room itself - only some of the rooms did. There is a communal fridge but it's not that comfortable No bed lamps The A/C turns itself off every time...

Fordeler: The Kayak Lodge was a very pleasant surprise. We had to cancel our reservation at a VERY expensive resort in Manuel Antonio for logistical reasons and booked the further away Kayak Lodge for a greatly reduced cost ($150/night vs. $400/night). The room, grounds, facilities, common areas, and pool were immaculate. My daughter said that it was the first place we had stayed during the trip (and we stayed at some very fine places) where she felt comfortable walking barefoot in the room. The owner (Marlene) and her staff were friendly and attentive to our needs. When we needed a late check out, we got it. The Manuel Antonio guide Marlene arranged for us (Millia (sp?)) was the best guide we had in Costa Rica! (Millia suggested & arranged a catamaran trip for the next day that was also a LOT of fun). Although the taxi to and from Quepos was about $10 one way (and a little more for Manuel Antonio) it was readily available and what we spent on taxis was more than made up for by what we saved on the room! Breakfast is included (indeed I think Kayak is deemed to be a B&B) and Marlene and her assistants prepared a delicious spread - complete with homemade guava jam! Also included gallo pinto, watermelon, pineapple, fried plantain, eggs, toast, etc. Mangrove tour was also fun. Highly recommend the Kayak Lodge.

Ulemper: It was a little far from the "action" but we had dinner in Quepos at the marina both nights and don't feel like we missed much by being a little farther out!

Fordeler: Big room with large fridge. Great breakfast of made to order omelettes and fruit. Very friendly and helpful hosts.

Ulemper: The bathroom had no AC and was very hot. The facilities were very old and a bit run down looking but kept clean. It was 25 minutes to Manuel Antonio.

Fordeler: Staff extra helpful. Food excellent. Beautiful garden.

Fordeler: BERNARD'S A GREAT PERSON...BUT WAS VERY UNHAPPY ABOUT THE AIR-CONDITION...IT WAS VERY HOT & EVERYTIME THE DOOR OPEN IT SHUT THE AIR-CONDITION OFF...SO WHEN YOU GOT BACK TO THE ROOM IT WOULD BE...

Fordeler: This is a clean hotel with great rooms. They also provide a good breakfast.

Ulemper: It is far from Quepos and Manuel Antonio. If you need to have food other than breakfast, it is not easy.

Fordeler: Don Bernard and Doña Marlene are fantastic and all accommodating. The rooms are clean and the food is fresh and good. AC works goof but you have to reset it each time you get back in the room.

Ulemper: You've got to have a car. We depended on taxis, but they hooked us up with Michael who took us everywhere we wanted to go. With that said, we couldn't walk anywhere, there's absolutely nothing near the place other the mangrove right next door. The air conditioning goes out when the door is open and you have to turn it back on when you get back in the room.

Fordeler: Well located in Quepos, close to centre but in a quiet area. The rooms are new and very clean, with efficient fans so it never felt hot or stuffy inside. Staff were friendly but sometimes hard to find...

Ulemper: This is more of a suggestion, but it would have been nice if there was some breakfast option. It would have been wonderful to have breakfast in the garden by the pool.

Fordeler: We didn't feel rushed to check out and the staff called a taxi for us when we were ready.

Ulemper: This is definitely a budget hotel. I enjoyed the stay because I was just looking for a place to sleep and a convenient location near the town of Manuel Antonio.

Fordeler: AC would be a big plus as others have said. But properties with AC are usually more money. With late afternoon and evening rain, it was okay the night I stayed.

Fordeler: Reception very nice and helpful. Good english speaking. Our twin bedroom was brand new and very clean. Few minutes walk from the city center.

Ulemper: In mid march, our room was too hot. Windows open with mosquito net and the ceiling fan was not enough to cool down and sleep well for us, unfortunately. Mosquito net from the main windows was little ...

Fordeler: It was clean and new.

Ulemper: First of all there is no reception. You just need to hope that the owner will be there and look for her because she is the only staff member. Also, the place is wide open and not at all secure. Now ...

Fordeler: The staff attitude, the friendliness of the guests who happened to be there at the time, the comfy beds.

Ulemper: The kitchen sometimes was a mess.

Ulemper: It was to hot in the room.

Fordeler: Very clean rooms, quality-price, perfect if you just need a place to sleep during your trip. Also very friendly staff.

Ulemper: Can get a bit hot in the room (only ventilator)

Fordeler: Good Wifi Great pool Gorgeous dog.
