Hotel Plaza Yara

Very nice hotel. Away from the busiest (and most annoying part) of Manuel Antonio but still very close by. The pool in the jungle garden is exquisite. Howler monkeys and huge parrots were in the trees above us all the time. Staff is also very friendly. We arrived in the morning but were already allowed to check-in which was very nice as we only stopped by to drop off our bags before heading to the park. The included breakfast was great and plentiful. Our room was on the big terrace with the lounge chairs which was a great spot to sit at night hearing the rain fall down in the jungle whilst reading a book. Room itself was comfortable and huge and very cosy. Would highly recommend this hotel when staying in Manuel Antonio!

We've been to Manuel Antonio a few times and stayed at this hotel years ago but after trying other ones we decided to come back to this one. The rooms are huge with comfortable beds. We are a family of four with luggages and was never cramped. We love the pool area and being surrounded by nature. Our room had direct access to the pool and a private sitting area outside to work or have your coffee. I loved waking up to the sound of howler monkeys and macaws and could have stayed starring at the monkeys all day long but we wanted to explore a bit. They are renewing the rooms and the common areas, the breakfast is very good, big servings and multiple options to choose from. The suites have a kitchenette with microwave, a little fridge, cups and plates which comes in handy when you are traveling with kids. The coffee in the bedroom is very good too. They don't have a restaurant but we walked to the restaurant they recommended which is very good and the other evenings we drove 10-15 min to the marina in Quepos just because we like it there but you have other options nearby. Thumps up to Nelson and Caleb at the front desk who helped us wrapping a painting from their art gallery to bring home as souvenir. We'll definitely come back.
