“We loved everything about our stay at Playa Espadilla Hotel and Gardens. Most especially the staff who were so incredibly kind and helpful. We would most certainly stay here again”
“Very enjoyable hotel experience. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful helping us get taxis or a book tours. Breakfast was nice and pizza at the hotel by the pool was very good. On the hotel grounds, we saw frogs, iguana, and many types of birds.”
“Hotel is along the main street. While it isn’t flashy from the street view, once inside it feels like a magical jungle paradise and feels safe and secluded. There are plenty of walkable dining/shopping options. If you prefer to avoid driving from the resort to Manuel Antonio park, we were able to walk there in about 35min and avoid the hassle of driving/parking, which is a great perk! Hotel breakfast was included and had a variety of good options. We would definitely stay again!”
“Nice hotel, very friendly and helpful staff. Oscar and a receptionist whose name I didn’t get were particularly helpful. Easy walk to restaurants and grocery stores. Parking available and a fridge in the very spacious room. We would stay here again.”
“Property is right next to the Manuel Antonio park. Breakfast is alright - you have 3 to 4 options and you select the option you want. Room was good, internet good. The prime advantage is the location next to the national park. You have breakfast in the morning and can head to the park/beach. There is a backlane that you can walk straight to the beach - 5 minutes walk. There is a very good restaurant right opposite the hotel and it is very good. There is a mini market next door as well. Overall I……
“Tuvimos un inconveniente la primera noche que llegamos y al día siguiente después de acercarnos a recepción la gerente nos hizo los cambios necesarios para que nuestra estancia las siguientes noches fueran magníficas

“El hotel estaba limpio y bien mantenido pero viejo. El cuarto no cerraba la puerta del balcón y nuestro baño olía muy mal. Comida deliciosa, muchas opciones de comida sin gluten y vegetariana. Los meseros pese que educados, no fueron tan buenos como los del resto de Costa Rica. La gente se recepción muy amables. ”
“Lovely room. One of my favorites of the stat. Woke to monkeys every morning!!! Their motto is "Still more.monkeys than people". Saw sloths on the grounds too and the adult pool has incredible ocean views. Very unique place. More animals.here than in the park!”
“We had an amazing time at the Igloo Beach Hotel. The staff is extremely friendly and everybody was very helpful, especially Emily. The food in the restaurant is delicious. There is a beautiful pool right in the center of the hotel. It is surrounded by the jungle and we saw beautiful birds and monkeys throughout the day. The property and rooms are kept clean and tidy. It’s only about a five minute walk to a local beach. It is about a 15 minute walk to the town of Manuel Antonio, where you can……
“I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel for so many reasons. We live it so much that 4 days later we returned to this hotel again! I also will not even consider another place when returning back to Costa Rica. Kenneth at the front desk BOTH times was so pleasant and made the experience just perfect. What an employee just added to the awesome memorable time we had ! I hope whosever reads this review truly considers this establishment as it was one of the best on all my travels around the world! Thank……
“We reserved 2 rooms for 4 adults, however they only had one room kept for us when we arrived. The front desk told me they will refund me one of the room payment. I didnot got it 2 weeks later until now.”
“An amazing location near Manuel Antonio national park and short walk to the beach.although it is currently under renovation it was not a problem at all.will definitely stay there again.great price for spacious apartment ”
“Amazing property with attention to every detail. Loved having our own concierge to help with questions. Service to the beach was helpful and appreciated. Loved the restaurant by the pool and especially the pool. The sloth tour was incredible that is why we stayed at Tulemar. Loved all the monkeys as well.
Stay minimum 3 days to see wildlife and enjoy the beach. We were warned that our room was by the street and was noisy. But it was very noisy with motorcycles. But they stopped around 10:30.……
“L'emplacement de l'hôtel était agréable, mais notre chambre donnait directement sur la terrasse, ce qui manquait cruellement d'intimité. De plus, le mobilier était assez vieux. ”
