3-Star Hotels in Manuel Antonio

This is my first review although I travel with Melbourne see the world who has had over 300 reviews published. Upon arrival today we were greeted by an unwelcoming team member at reception. We were asked several odd questions including would we like a key to the safe and would we like our room serviced daily. Of course we answered yes to both and were left wondering why we had even beenasked these questions. Next we were shown to our room which was not the room we had booked and paid for. Our booking confirmation clearly stated we had booked a deluxe upstairs room however we were allocated a down stairs room. After some discussion with the not so welcoming team member and being told to be quiet whilst she explained to me what had happened she did acknowledge we had indeed booked an upstairs room but as the hotel was fully booked she was unable to provide the correct room. The downstairs rooms are on the walk ways and do not offer any privacy if you wish to sit outside. In addition to this we are located next to the underground septic tanks which exude a putrid smell making it impossible to sit outside without feeling nauseous. Regrettably we are here for 3 nights and are yet to receive an apology or solution to the inappropriate room we have been allocated which I find totally unacceptable.

Great activities included in Stay, me and my partner participated in the HIIT, the painting and the yoga session or the fitness hut is also great for doing own stretching routine. Location is central with nice places to eat around and the restaurant at Selina also has great options, the place is amazing for spotting wildlife such as toucans and sloths. We saw more wildlife here than at the national park. Easy bus ride to the beach. Amenities are ok, wifi not the best from the room but I had an eSIM for a few days so not an issue. Only thing was I wished we had a mini fridge for room to keep items such as water and milk. Really appreciated the daily housekeeping and upkeep of cleanliness. Overall really enjoyed stay.

The photos of their rooms look exactly like the actual room we received ! If anything the room appeared bigger than what we expected. We had booked the king bed room overlooking the pool and it was perfect. Except for one thing that I shouldn't/wouldn't have let bother me but here is what happened - you do the decision. I asked about laundry service and was told by the front desk guy that I should save my $$'s and use the oversize bathroom sink (and it was) then hang my clothes on the little wire units that were in the shower area. Simple enough except after I did the wash and rinse & squeeze of as much water as possible, I went to hang the clothes on the wire and it broke, so pulled out the 2nd one, same thing it broke before I could even hang anything up ! So I went back down to the front desk and explained it all and this time the gal that was there told me to bag it up and they would do it for $7/kilo, I stated that I would do this but since it was already wet, there wouldn't be an accurate weight. She told me not to worry and that they would weigh it after it was dry, so I complied and dropped it off. Next day I went to retrieve it and was alarmed that my 3 tee shirts, 2 shorts and a couple of underwear's were going to cost way over $20 ! I was told be a different person that there was nothing that could be done and I could just pay it or they would add it to my bill at checkout. I paid the bill for what may have been 3 lbs (1.25 kilos max) of stuff. So in closing stay here for the rooms (and we probably would again) but don't have your laundry done here because they will ream you !

What a beautiful and nostalgic hotel…our room had our own lap pool complete with cushioned lounge chairs…happy hour was a 2 for 1 deal and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and friendly…we swam and lounged out at the main pool…so relaxing! A free breakfast was included with our room (other breakfast items available at additional cost)..just enough to get our morning started before we headed out for the day! Pre COVID I’m sure the outside pool bar would be open which is always a plus when hanging out at the pool! Definitely on our list when we return to Costa Rica next year!

We had a lovely stay at Tabulia Tree! The staff were wonderful — very friendly and welcoming! And a special shout-out to Enrique, who went way beyond the call of duty to help us feel welcome throughout our stay! The hotel grounds are beautiful, with gorgeous flora and lizards, macaws and other wildlife. The pool is a great amenity, and we really enjoyed the breakfasts we had, as well as dinner at the hotel. A couple refreshes to some of the fixtures in the room, and this would be a 5++ stay! We had a wonderful stay and would come back! (And a big hello from Minnesota to Salim & Nina, the two cats who were adopted by the hotel staff and who are a friendly presence at the hotel reception desk!😁😸😸)

This hotel was the highlight of our accommodations during our 9-day trip in Costa Rica. The view alone was worth the price of the stay. I requested this hotel when I booked my trip through a travel agency so didn’t look at photos of the room beforehand. I based my request of the high ratings from TripAdvisor and was not disappointed. The king-sized bed was so comfortable, I slept 12 hours on my first night there, which is rare for me anywhere. This was a family trip, with kids aged 11 and 7, so I was a bit worried that their bed would be a pull-out from converted sofa. It wasn’t. It was the same high-quality comfortable bed but in a queen size, and the kids slept well. The whole hotel was well-designed and integrated into the surroundings, so in addition to the view, we saw lizards and monkeys roam the premises. Such a treat! The kids pool has a waterslide that the kids went on over and over again and had a blast. We only had 2 nights here because of scheduling, but I honestly think we could have stayed 3 more and still enjoyed ourselves. This is a special place that I will be recommending to any one who is visiting Costa Rica!

Beautiful location, right across the street from a great beach! It's at the end of the road , just past the entrance to Manuel Antonio Park, which is 300 meters away. It has the classis old Costa Rican vibe, but is kept very clean, with gorgeous grounds. You may even catch the white-faced monkeys in the trees behind, which we saw on our last (third) day. The front desk people are awesome, especially Jenny and Ivan, who actually sought out and found the best zip lining experience in the area, and booked it for us. Restaurants (especially liked El Avión less than a km away), grocery, and souvenirs all within easy walking distance. Everything you need is right there. Would definitely stay there again!
