We stayed for 2 nights in this beautiful hotel. For us it had a perfect position within Manuel Antonio, with around 5-6 kilometres from the main beach and nationalparc and for that a more quiet surrounding. There are a few restaurants within walking distance, but for other activities you need a car. The Hotel has a beautiful patio with 2 pools, a bar and is a great place to relax or have a sundowner in the pool before going out for dinner. The room we had was well equipped, with a/c, a fridge and a nice bathroom. Towels for pool and beach were provided. Breakfast was à la carte, which was a great change to the omnipresent gallo pinto. The staff was really lovely, most helpful and very obliging.

Really nice host, she was very kind with us and explained everything very clearly. She even gave us good advice for places to have lunch/dinner which was a super cool restaurant. The room was clean and very comfortable, it even has a fridge which was useful for us. The breakfast was ready early like we expected and it was very good ! Thanks a lot, we had a nice stay. I recommend Greemount hotel !

The Gulf of Nicoya is one of the Jewels of Costa Rica. A paradise where you can do all kinds of water activities. The island itself captures you from the moment you arrive and makes you never want to return from where you came from. We are Booking Genious travelers and I can openly say that this amazing place is a 10 out of 10. The rooms have a million dollar view.

The buffet breakfast is excellent. The standard room is small, but the beds are comfortable. It is a 10 minute walk to the main pool. We walked from Playa Manta to Playa Blanca. Beautiful beach good for swimming and snorkeling..Nice restaurant there and picnic tables. Great for birding and wildlife at the resort.

We just loved this park.

We just loved this park. In a little more than a ½ day we walked all the trails except the closed one. We stopped for an hour in the café -- which is enclosed in a cage to prevent the animals from coming in! That was the first time I had a drink in a cage. The trails are great and we saw lots of wildlife on our own, including a toucan and a sloth (only saw it on our way out!). The beaches are beautiful too. The only issue is parking. I can't tell what's official and what isn't, and at the hotel they warn you your car can be damaged if you just try to park wherever rather than in their lots. We parked somewhere and paid (talked him down) but I'm not sure it was official. No issues with our car though. Highly recommend this park!

I go there to do dental work at Crystal Dental, as their prices are 2-3 times cheaper than in the USA and the quality is better, they speak English and have German equipment. I do not care about touristy stuff, I did it on my first visit many years ago. You can take buses for daytrips. Tours with agencies are very expensive and geared for young athletic people. I wish there was a sightseeing tour for the whole day on a bus to take pictures without any hiking or horse-riding.

If you like cooler temperatures, rainy & windy mountains in remote Costa Rica then this is for you. Its a unique experience to be that high up above sea level and theres plenty to do outside between coffee tours, ziplines & hikes. But in terms of the town itself, theres not a lot going on and its expensive but I guess thats what you pay for tranquility & remoteness. And if you're driving up there you better have a 4x4 or AWD vehicle because the majority of the roads up here are unpaved & windy AF. Spots to check out that made our trip: Don Juan Coffee Farm, the Butterfly Sanctuary, El Tigre Waterfalls, Kinkajou Night walk, 100% Aventura Ziplines for the longest Zipline in Latin America & lastly tree climbing at Finca Modelo. If you want to try authentic Costa Rican food (because hello why not!) skip out on the expensive restaurants and go to Pizzeria 3R y el Sazón de Mary - best part is that they're open late. Food was bomb! Overall, I wouldn't spend more than 2.5 days up here.

Preferably visit on the whale watching season, and reserve a tour days before so you not lose the chance of this lovely experience, I recommend Bahía Ballena Kayaks & Tours.

This is basically a cruse ship harbor and not much to do in low season. A few bars and stores open. A lot of tour is not given due to no crusie ship arriving in this time of the year. Also, extreme weather resultet in that most tours from Puntarenas was cancelled. If you are planning a vaccation, you should choose another city such as Jaco or Uvita. Very easy to take a 2-3 hour bus shuttle from San Jose, terminal 7-10 for a few dollars.

Quepos itself is a little rough, but Manuel Antonio is a gem. Be wary of all the hustlers on the beach. Would have liked to go fishing but the prices for charters were steep. Great eateries. I forgot the name but the seafood restaurant before the bridge into town was excellent.

This is the place to go to see the bioluminescent plankton. It was beautiful. The ferry ride was fun. We used Eddy’s tour. He was very knowledgeable about the biodiversity and the provided the best bioluminescence tour. We did have four senior couples in our group.
