La Vela Boutique Hotel (Adults Only), Manuel Antonio (Costa Rica) - Deals & Reviews

pool area, relaxing atmosphere, missing amenities

The hotel has a fantastic location, just a 5-minute walk to both the public beach and the entrance to Manuel Antonio National Park.

However, there are some noise issues during the night, especially if your room faces the street. earplugs are recommended.

The staff, especially Steven, exceeded my expectations with their helpfulness. I loved relaxing by the beautiful pool and enjoying the peaceful surroundings filled with tropical plants and wildlife sounds.

Free wine voucher was a delightful surprise!

outdoor pizza oven, proximity to the national park, wildlife encounters from hotel grounds

The water pressure in the shower could use improvement!!! Also, I hardly inspired a good evening with the limited TV options, just one channel available. Minor inconvenience with towel exchange—an extra towel would have been nice!!!

Absolutely loved this charming spot! Comfy, spacious rooms and a lovely pool area with plenty of shady spots. The location is perfect, just a stroll away from the park and beach.

However, I must say, the sewage smell nearby was quite an unexpected 'aroma' to enjoy. And let’s not even talk about the bar being closed on Mondays—rude!

Lovely pool area with plenty of shady spots and views of monkeys. Breakfast ended a bit early, which was disappointing. Happy hour drinks were a nice touch!

delicious breakfast, lovely pool area

musty smell

Tranquil room, beautiful grounds, with a gorgeous pool that rarely had guests and a comforting bed featuring a plush duvet set the perfect atmosphere for relaxation, while the included breakfast was excellent and the accommodation offered free parking nearby for added convenience.

This place suits me perfectly! I love the free wi-fi, outdoor swimming pool, and 24-hour security. The staff even returned my forgotten headphones on my first stay. Highly recommend enjoying the breakfast. I’m coming back for a city break!

This place suits me perfectly with great amenities like free wi-fi, an outdoor pool, and 24-hour security. On my first stay, the staff generously assisted my elderly parents, leaving a lasting impression. I highly recommend enjoying the breakfast options. I'm coming back for a weekend!

I loved the family room! It was spacious with a nice kitchen and a huge balcony where monkeys sometimes visited. The beds were super comfy too! Just a minor bummer, breakfast ended a bit early. But the cleanliness of the room was top-notch, and the jungle vibes were amazing with all the animal sounds. Perfect for a chill stay!

This was just an ideal choice for a passing visit in Manuel Antonio with reasonable value. The pool area was lovely, and I enjoyed watching monkeys swinging in the trees nearby. Bring some earplugs if your room faces the street to help with noise from vendors in the morning.
