Lodges in Manuel Antonio

Great glamping experience!! The dome room is extremely nice and clean and it has the best view. You are basically connecting with nature, surrounded by a lot of vegetation and animals sounds. Great shower experience!! Bathroom concept is very interesting and nice. Owner of this place is very helpful and a very nice person. We would definetly choose this place again if we come back in Manuel Antonio in future - we have to in order to test the pool that was currently under construction :)

It was simply the best place to stay during our 6 week trip to Costa Rica. Hugo (the owner) told us from the very beginning that their aim is to make us feel at home with family - and oh we did! Our bungalow was just gorgeous, bright, modern, clean and this absolutely great view! When visibility was good we saw the sea, when it rained we felt like we were in the clouds. We could practically pick litchis from the balcony and watch toucans and other birds flying by or sitting in the trees. The food in the restaurant prepared by Roxanas and Julia's was delicious, we felt like being "at grandma's" - it was cooked with a lot of love, it always tasted excellent and we were more than full. In addition, the view from the restaurant over the surrounding mountains is simply magical. Alan & Andres made our stay such a wonderful experience, they were so accommodating, incredibly friendly and you could tell they just wanted us to have a great time with them. Our 2 year old son still talks about them and we fondly remember our times together! A wonderful destination nearby are the waterfalls, about a 10-minute drive from the lodge. We had the place all to ourselves, walked to the big waterfall and then bathed at the small waterfall in the middle of the jungle - what a dream! I also highly recommend the massage that you can book through the lodge, the masseuse comes directly to the room, the massage is wonderful and rounds off the experience there. We will recommend this accommodation to any of our friends who go to Costa Rica, it would be a shame to miss it! Note for drivers: We were unsure when booking because of the many reports about the difficult journey - which turned out to be much more harmless. We were on the road in the rainy season but if you choose the route described by the property you don't have to cross a river. It's a long gravel road, so you have to drive slowly, but that's all.

Amazing place to stay! We had two nights and saw so much wildlife - sitting on our deck overlooking the pond we spent ages watching huge iguanas in the trees, loads of birds and even a Basilisk Lizard running across the water! The safari tents are really comfortable - fab beds, proper hot showers and plenty of space. I had a bit of a concern about the amount of creepy crawlies we might have in/around the tents but the mesh netting kept everything out (we saw plenty of insect life on the trails but nothing in or around the tents!). The big communal deck is also fab - the first night there was a huge storm and we sat having dinner while the thunder and lightning raged around us and bats flew round overhead - a really magical experience. The food was excellent and there was plenty of it. The pool and waterslide were a big hit with the kids too!
