Best Quepos Spa Hotels

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shana and found the room, facilities and staff excellent. The breakfast, the bar and the dinners were equally excellent and the beach was also an added bonus. We plan on returning to Shana on our next visit it Costa Rica.

I’m a pretty average traveler - I’ve been to 8 countries, so more than a lot of people but also less than a lot of people, but this was by far my favorite place I’ve ever been. I’ve always said I won’t return to a place, so I can keep exploring, but I would come back here without a second thought. The resort was truly amazing. They take their conservation very seriously with their practices and protected wildlife areas. The resort was ALWAYS clean despite being in the middle of the jungle and just generally beautiful. The staff was super kind, everyone seemed very genuine and happy to be there. Shout out to Yerald & Mar at the pool bar for the constant attentiveness and smiles (and drinks of course). Also shout out to Elias - the onsite naturalist that leads the night hikes. He was so knowledgeable, showed us so many cool animals, and has worked with National Geographic! He knows his stuff. Between excursions and the resort, we saw new wildlife everyday. There were capuchins on our balcony, you could hear the howler monkeys daily, iguanas, opossums, raccoons, geckos, macaws, sloths, grasshoppers the size of your face, and we watched humpback whales from our balcony every single morning. Since going in the off season, not all of the restaurants were open but what I ate was phenomenal. Breakfast buffet daily with rice and beans to die for and dinners at La Galería were 100%. I highly recommend going here and doing everything you can.

Our stay at Makanda by the Sea was nothing short of extraordinary. The service was first class, our room was spacious and luxurious and the staff were super attentive to all of our needs and requests. They seamlessly arranged all of our excursions, tours and transportation upon our request in a timely manner. They made us feel like we were royalty throughout our entire stay. Since it was our honeymoon, we wanted a place that was nice and secluded with great onsite amenities and Makanda far exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t have chose a better place to celebrate our union. Starting with Leo and Ariana in the reception office to Alfredo, Luis, Johnathan, and Keilor at the pool terrace/bar and Arbol Restaurant; they remembered our names and gave us recommendations on how to make the most of our stay in Costa Rica. We definitely hope to come back soon with friends. Pura Vida!

Beautiful location and for the most part the service was great. First the pluses ....beach is super and the staff down by the beach was friendly and welcoming and they do a great job of creating safety (lots of lifeguard drills it appeared!) and overall the sense of a lovely vacation feel. There are golf carts to take you everywhere on the property, which is pretty necessary as the property is steep and quite spread out. You just give a call and someone shows up in minutes. Many of the drivers have a great personality, just made it surprising when a few of them seemed not friendly--and for us there was no need to speak English--I was always happy to try my Spanish! Ditto for the staff in the main restaurant--some were friendly and welcoming and a few others were all business and not very welcoming or patient. On with the plus items...the beds are very comfortable, rooms are private and quiet, and the policy of free mini bar snacks (with free restocking) is wonderful! The monkeys and iguanas --and sloths--on the property are terrific. There is a dinner in the beach restaurant on Wednesdays, Sats and Suns and since we were only there for the Wed dinner, I wish that the staff at breakfast had reminded us of it and also, there could be a small guide in the room that would include the beach dinner evening schedule as well as a map of the nature trail --with distances. We wanted to walk it ourselves, without their guide, but didn't have a good sense of the overall length of the trail. There was a little sense that they wanted to encourage us to sign up for their guided (for a fee) walk. The food in the main restaurant was good, but not exceptional and the dinners are quite expensive. The breakfast has many choices and again, it's good but not exceptional--but nice that it's included in the room price. Overall, however, it's a lovely place, clearly the nicest place to stay in Manuel Antonio, but also quite pricey, which you know if you're reading this! Trip.com had the best price by far, at least for November.

I would recommend this hotel to anybody!! It is so unique and at an amazing location. It is only a short walk to get to Playa Espadilla (one of my favorite beaches in MA). My boyfriend and I stayed here for just 2 nights for his birthday and we had a great experience. Upon arrival, we had balloons in our room, a welcome sign with our names on it, and a free drink from the bar. It felt very personalized and welcoming. The restaurant in the lobby is fantastic and we often hung out in the pool area where they have lots of places to lounge and music playing. The staff knew that it was my boyfriend's birthday and they surprised us with a picnic on the beach at sunset. It was honestly way more than I would've expected. Lots of food, a cocktail, and dessert. I was speechless. The igloos are very cool and fun. Honestly, it was the best sleep we got in those 2 weeks of traveling. AC and nice bed.

Great views with lots of wildlife sightings. Stayed in Suite 9 which was spacious and nicely decorated. The king size bed was comfortable. The bathroom had plenty of room for 2 people and the shower had good water pressure. The ac along with the fan in the bedroom kept the room cool. The kitchen had most everything we needed. Coffee provided for one day and then you’re on your own. There was a bag of coffee available for $14.99. We didn’t need a whole bag and the restaurant didn’t open early so keep this in mind if you’re an early riser and a coffee drinker. The restaurant had a limited menu and staffing seemed to be inconsistent. There was no staff available on Monday for breakfast and no one available when we returned from the beach in the afternoon and wanted something from the bar. I would avoid prepayment for breakfast as staff didn’t understand how it worked. Probably better to just order breakfast as available if you want to eat there. We prepaid for 6 breakfasts and only ate 3. We were refunded for 3 breakfasts on our last day. The dinner menu was also limited and we only ate there once. Suite 9 has views of the ocean from the front and views of the ocean and foliage from the back door and bistro area. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The girl at the front desk secured taxis for us and booked activities. I left my wallet and phone at another location and she was instrumental in getting everything returned to me very quickly! The Beach Day Pass is worthwhile. For $40 pp you get $35 pp food and beverage credit as well as beach chairs, umbrella, access to pool and restrooms at the Karahe’ Beach Hotel. The food is great there and you have food and beverage service right on the beach. Lots of monkeys! The pool at Vista Ocean Suites was very refreshing after a day of excursions. Daily housekeeping was a nice touch. Everything in our suite was clean and the furniture was comfortable. Would have liked more places to hang wet items to dry. It was difficult to wash and find space to dry items. We needed a taxi for any excursions since we didn’t have a car and it’s a bit of a hike to the main road. We did manage to hike to Biesanz Beach and back but it wasn’t an easy hike for us. Better suited for younger and in shape people!
