Very nice vibe and friendly owners. It’s a bit like home from home.

The setting, the pool, the relaxed atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and very clean. Having access to all tv shows and channel’s free of charge is a bonus! It is much better than in photographs .

I loved staying in this guesthouse! The tropical grounds are beautiful, landscaped by the owners over two decades. Mike and Paul were terrific hosts with lots of advice about things to do in the area. Great pool and hot tub (although appropriately not very hot considering the hot weather). The room was clean and comfortable. For what I got, the property was great value for money. Would recommend to anyone who's comfortable staying in an adults-only, clothing-optional boutique guesthouse.

The pool is lovely, tranquil, and plenty of shade. We had a room with a balcony, great view, saw scarlet macaws flying over. Breakfast by the pool was delicious.

Mike and Paul are exceptional hosts and we highly recommend Coyaba Tropical. You will stay in an elegant, tropical paradise. Close to everything in Manuel Antonio yet private and secluded. The breakfasts are wonderful!

I loved everything about Coyaba Tropical- The hotel is very well-appointed, immaculate and comfortable all around- The hosts are warm, gracious and attentive and made me feel welcome- I enjoyed my few days here and will not hesitate to come back-

The only thing keeping it from a perfect rating is the jacuzzi was cold. And by that I mean the same temp as the pool, which wasn’t cold but not what you expect from a jacuzzi.

It was beautifully decorated, with amazing lush plants, beautiful fixtures and furniture. It feels like a little jungle oasis.

While close to the (only) road, it is not unique in this reality...everything is either on the road or only slightly set back. More space to hang clothing, or even shelving to place clothing (we were on a two-week trip) would have been nice. To be clear, there are shelves, but they are scant.

This is a small, boutique inn/guest house. The facilities, while a bit kitsch, are pristine and lovely. The main area, or courtyard, is lush with numerous potted plants and landscaping. The breakfast each day (opt for the breakfast!) was both plentiful and yummy. We really enjoyed the fresh fruit plate each day. We had an issue with our shower head and it was addressed immediately with a new shower head. Rooms are comfortable and are each individually decorated. Information on getting around (the bus stops right outside their entrance) and restaurant recommendations were much appreciated, as well as tips on accessing the National Park and adjacent beach areas.

We enjoyed everything about the property and hated to end our trip.

Mike and Paul are wonderful owners, very attentive, informative and made our stay a memorable one. The property is beautiful, they have created a tropical paradise for those who stay. They offer breakfast every morning and Paul did not disappoint, it was something different everyday and it was delicious. The pool was a relaxing and refreshing experience at the end of a busy day!

We had a great time at the property, the room was great and our hosts were amazing. Our favorite part was the breakfast- which was delicious! I would definitely recommend!

The room was pretty small. A blanket or bedspread on the bed would be nice as the AC can get colder at night.

Lovely respite from Quepos with a beautiful garden and pool area. The place is spotless and the breakfasts were very good. The hosts clearly take pride in this small boutique hotel.

Long drive to get here!

Mike and Paul were very accommodating. Mike always had good suggestions on things to do and see in the area. Property inside the gate was beautiful with pool and garden. Excellent Breakfasts…highly recommend!

A little private oasis tucked away in Manuel Antonio. We did a lot of rustic eco-tourism, and this gem was a pleasant break from all that with modern amenities and a lovely breakfast service in the morning.

Beautiful place, straight-friendly 😉 Mike and Paul are great hosts. Lovely breakfast, nice pool, comfortable rooms.

Nothing.

Thank you to Paul and Mike for a wonderful stay with them! I can not recommend this guesthouse highly enough. Pauls breakfasts were fantastic every single morning and Mike was very welcoming and helpful with good local recommendations. It’s a good central location to explore Manuel Antonio and has everything you need. A home from home! Peanut, Asia and Ginger also made the stay even more welcoming 😊

A lovely and convenient place to stay if you are visiting the National Park. Mike and Paul will take good care of you. My room was spacious and comfortable and the property is very well maintained. There is a nice restaurant at walking distance (El Arado) should you not want to venture out for dinner to Manuel Antonio or Quepos!

Stayed in January 2025

Lovely hosts and comfortable rooms. The sweet dogs were a plus.

The bedsheets were scratchy. The toilet paper was super thin (like in most of the country). The price for breakfast was very high considering other options in the area. If you want to be close to the beach, consider somewhere further down the road. But the bus ride was 20 minutes, which we didn't consider a big deal. It would have been a nice touch to have local coffee for brewing in the rooms rather than a Nescafe machine.

The pool was nice. It was located close to public transit and taxi/bus drivers knew the location. The room was clean and comfortable. Check in was easy. Michael connected us with a great guide named Roy for the national park guided tour.

There’s very few pavements so it’s not really very safe to walk into Quepos and Manuel Antonio, especially in the dark. But taxis are easy to get, and the local bus service is regular enough too

Beautiful garden, with lovely pool. My room was spacious, comfortable and cool. I was extremely well looked after by Mike and Paul (the owners). My highlight was seeing squirrel monkeys in the garden

Enjoyed this bed and breakfast accommodation. Super clean, beautiful and peaceful within 10-20 minutes walking distance to restaurants and bars nearby. Would highly recommend this place!

Stayed in July 2024

Mike was a warm and welcoming host. I felt very welcome as a sole traveler and it was nice that he made time to chat each morning over breakfast and share insights of the area. The breakfasts were extremely generous and Mike even prepared a continent breakfast on the mornings I needed to leave early on a tour. Mike organized two wonderful tours for me and gave lots of tips of what to see and do. Thank you

It would be great to have coffee available, even if for a fee, because this is not an urban location with easy access to coffee shops.

Absolutely gorgeous! Very comfortable room with a/c when needed, though the breeze through the windows was often enough. The pool area is a little paradise, full of trees. And it’s tranquil due to the small size of the property (I think there are 8 rooms). If you don’t have a car (I didn’t), the bus is clean and comes every 30 minutes. It’s just 10 minutes to either Quepos or Manuel Antonio.

The property extremely well designed and lovely to lounge around.

Good experience, the location was in close proximity to many things. Parking was clutch. Host was nice. The place was a bit quieter than I expected but its probably because we went near the end of tourist season.
