Reviews of Hotel Costa Verde 4 stars

Room was interesting with a little kitchenette and a huge terrace which was beautiful. The hotel grounds are huge with multiple restaurants. We liked the El Avion restaurant and it was better value than many other restaurants we saw in the area. The pools are beautiful, especially the adults-only one with an amazing view. The hotel is close to Manuel Antonio but you still have to drive there.

We had a lovely room which was cleaned daily. Staff were very helpful. There are several restaurants owned by the hotel which are accessible by walking.

On the pricey side for drinks etc but to be expected

The wildlife at the hotel is incredible! We saw capuchin, howler, and squirrel monkeys, as well as a sloth that came all the way down to the ground—right on the property. The hotel is also ideally located near Manuel Antonio National Park and the beach.

Breakfast is not included, and all the on-site restaurants are quite expensive and cater mostly to tourists, which makes the overall cost-benefit less appealing. The resort is divided into different zones, but a main road runs through the property. If you plan to walk to the beach, be prepared for a steep uphill climb on the way back. The swimming pools are small, and pool towels are not provided.

It was in a great location. We saw so many animals from our deck and hotel near the beach and busses.

Quite hilly but good exercise.

The room was spacious and comfortable. We loved the sea view from our balcony. The cleaning service was very efficient. We had an incident with the kitchen and it was fixed right away. Having a little kitchen, microwave and fridge was very handy.

The noise from the road leading to the beach and manual Antonio park and the swimming pool area -quite depressing due to bad maintenance. The kitchen board is too small. Not possible to place a plate. N es to juggle to prepare something to eat.

Beautiful view, lovely room. Great facilities, look forward to visiting again. Nice people, plenty to do without car. One of our new favorites. Good food close by. The E area Adult Pool is spectacular. Monkees, toucans, iguanas and sloths abound.

Door auto lock / room key issue. Must plug key into air conditioning for it to work. If you walk out the door to sit on the patio, the door automatically locks and we were locked out. The neighbor called management, but they would not help, we had to get in the neighbors car, drive down to the office (our gate was locked) to get a key. It may be better to offer two keys and tell the guests that the doors are auto lock.

We stayed in the adult area that was really peaceful and had wonderful views. The room was comfortable and spacious. The staff were helpful, the free shuttle to their restaurants was helpful as the hills are very steep. The adult area is peaceful though the pool gets full around late afternoon. I would recommend the restaurant a few minutes walk called La Terrezza the food is excellent and the ambience is modern so a refreshing change from Costa Verde. Having a kitchennette is really handy, and you can also order food from their restaurants which is very handy The jungle surrounding it is wonderful, we saw sloths right outside our room and the monkeys are such fun to watch

It is a bit dated and the decor has so much of the wood in every part of the huge complex and restaurants it gets a bit OTT. The food is ok but nothing amazing (pizzas are very good though). And across the three restaurants the menus are quite similar so it gets a bit dull. And as others mention it's very steep to get to the beach

Very unique property with lots of interesting restaurants, ocean views, lots of animals. Especially El Avión. The fact that they provide free transportation to the different restaurants located along the road.

The fact that they don’t allow kids to enter the “adults only area” was an inconvenience because our room (2 adults and one child) was in a separate area as my parents’ room, so then my daughter couldn’t even go to see the room where her grandparents were staying. Also the breakfast options could be expanded.

The ambiance was lovely. It felt like I was staying in a private cabin in the jungle.

One large towel only. There should be a minimum of two. One for your hair and one for your body. The liquor and wine bottles as lamp shade were ok dotted around, but by the bed it looks tacky

Unique character to this hotel, with whole or partial aircraft in amongst the tropical vegetation. The adult-only pool and decking has a unique and exceptional vista with views across the coast all the way to Manuel Antonio National Park. This is a truly exceptional location, where we spent many an afternoon hour sipping excellent freshly made fruit smoothies from the bar and watching the never ending display of wildlife (be it an entertaining troop of squirrel monkeys, orange chinned parakeets or even Scarlet Macaws flying past). Note that children have to be 17 or over to accompany parents to this pool location; ours were older than this, but I am aware that those with younger children had more limited locations.

Not really a grumble - but the walks between locations at the hotel can be very steep (sometimes ridiculously so) - which can be slow work in the humid heat - but its a smile price to pay for paradise.

The location was great and the facilities at the resort were very nice (pool, trails, beach access, etc.)

The room was dated. The HVAC system only ran when you were in the room with the key so the room felt humid and muggy. The bathroom door would not stay open and slammed shut which made the bathroom even more humid. For the price per night, I thought the room could have been nicer.

We had a room with an outdoor kitchen in the adults only section . We had superb views of the coast and National Park . While the room was smaller than the one we had booked the view compensated for this . The hotel was close to the National Park ( the walk would have been difficult in the heat ). The adults only pool was quiet with great views from its terrace . The grounds of the hotel were pleasant with wildlife around . We even spotted a sloth .

Due to its size and sprawl over a large area it did feel somewhat impersonal. There were no personal or friendly touches to the place . Our outside fridge was raided by animals in the night . We had not been told about a fridge lock when shown the room .. it was all too rushed and impersonal . It would have been so easy to put a warning in the room about this . Care needs to be taken in the choice of rooms at this hotel . Many have no view .

Loved the monkeys all around. Good service. Plenty of places to eat close by

We had a sea view room views were stunning.the pool was really cool and a group of beautiful little monkeys passed by there. We also had a beautiful balcony and the room was flooded with light

L Had to claim quite many stairs. Fortunately the staff was bringing things up

Property was amazing set in the side of a hill with lots of vegetation that provided shade and beauty. Lots of monkeys right on site and even some sloths! Quick jaunt downhill to the beach. Lots of restaurants on site that they will shuttle you to, or many others to choose from a short walk away. Rooms are eclectic and fun. Our efficiency unit was small for 4 people for a week, but we made it work. Kitchenette is handy and well stocked with dishes and utensils for its size. Loved our outdoor entry - complete with table and 4 wooden rocking chairs.

Careful if cooking on the induction stove. The pan handles get really hot and there are no oven mitts! It is set on a steep hill - so there is some steep climbs both ways.

The grounds were lovely

A little spread out

The forest views and location

The highway is close by on on a steep hill so heavy vehicles and motorbikes disturbed the tranquility.
