"Everysingle staff member was kind, helpful and positive. They were genuinely thoughtful and went out of their way to help with anything needed. The room was incredibly clean, the view was stunning, the pool was fresh and not overcrowded. All of the meals were delicious, (mahi mahi ceviche was out of this world) we enjoyed every breakfast (large portion), it came with various fresh fruit, homemade bread and coffee, latte or cappucino. Jack and Abraham our servers were so kind! We enjoyed the golfcart rides to the main road, the drivers made us feel like friends, Jose, Walter,Oscar,Anthony, (all of them)imprinted positive memories on our hearts! The owner was cheerful and kind, greeting us regulary, making us feel right at home. The views from everywhere were spectacular! We especially enjoyed watching the sunsets, whether it be from the infinity pool, dinner, our balcony, or most memorably, from the rooftop, listening to music, having appetizers and delicious drinks! We took a fabulous tour of the rainforest with Clarence, his knowledge on the animals, wildlife and plantlife was impressive, he showed us macaws, a sloth and different species throughout the hike that is included in the stay! Our concierge Edson was amazing! He set up excursions, shuttles, taxis, special meal requests, answered questions and always stayed kind, thoughtful and helpful. Overall it was a trip of a lifetime that we will cherish for a lifetime! "

"The staff here is perhaps the best I’ve ever encountered. Every single staff member that we encountered was genuinely kind, friendly and helpful. Vers impressive. "

"If your looking for a quiet peaceful stay, this hotel is for you. There are little amenities and no TVs. Every morning there is guided meditation at 0730 jrs and different classes such as yoga. "

"We loved staying at the Shana by the Beach. Highlights included our room (we had an amazing oceanfront view with double king beds, kitchen and a balcony with dining table), the pool area (has an adults-only side with infinity pool view of the ocean, though it’s a little small, and a 2 for 1 happy hour from 3-6 pm daily), delicious complimentary breakfast (however, they serve the same dishes daily and might consider changing it up a little), and abundant hotel wildlife like white faced and squirrel monkeys and Toucans. Amenities were clean and the staff was friendly and attentive. There is also a jungle path (7-10 minute walk) down to Playa Biesanz, which is a small public beach nestled in a cove (bring water shoes as it’s a little rocky and cash for drinks and snacks). Playa Espadilla (public beach) is also only a 10-minute Uber ride, and in my opinion the nicest of the four local beaches I visited, even Manuel Antonio Beach. A few suggestions or things I learned: (1) per my research, we rented a car but should have just got a shuttle from the airport to Manuel Antonio, (2) driving around Manuel Antonio is hectic with windy roads and tight spaces, so ubering is inexpensive and hassle-free since restaurant are close; and (3) the monkeys that live around the resort will open your balcony door, so keep it locked. Overall, I would recommend this resort for its location to Manuel Antonio Park, abundance of local restaurants, and its room and restaurant/pool views of the ocean. "

"⭐️An Unforgettable Stay Surrounded by Nature, Beauty, and Exceptional Service⭐️ Parador Nature Resort exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, every single employee we encountered was genuinely kind, attentive, and went out of their way to provide extraordinary service. The warmth and professionalism of the staff made us feel cared for at every step. The setting itself is absolutely breathtaking. The sunsets here are some of the most beautiful we’ve ever seen—golden, expansive, and perfectly framed by the surrounding jungle and ocean views. The resort truly lives up to its name, offering immersive nature experiences that feel both magical and serene. One of the most unforgettable highlights was the wildlife. We had close-up, personal encounters with monkeys that literally climbed onto our balcony—an experience you’ll never forget and one that perfectly captures how connected this resort is to its natural surroundings. The monkeys are harmless and fascinating to watch… just don’t leave your glass door open 😉. Parador strikes the perfect balance between luxury and nature. You feel completely relaxed, surrounded by beauty, yet supported by an incredibly thoughtful and attentive team who clearly take pride in what they do. This is not just a place to stay—it’s an experience. We left feeling restored, inspired, and already talking about when we can return. Highly, highly recommend."

"My husband and I, along with another couple, stayed at this amazing hotel for three nights, and I truly enjoyed every moment. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The restaurant was the highlight for us—we had both breakfast and dinner there, and the food was fresh and delicious. We were especially excited to see monkeys during breakfast, along with many birds and other animals. We also enjoyed walking across the hanging bridges and exploring the trails. It was a truly wonderful experience. Thank you to all the staff at Mountain Top Park Hotel. We will definitely come again! Rhoda "

"Clean room, great amenities and vibes. Super friendly staff!"

"If I could give Gaia 10 stars, I would. The customer service is truly outstanding. We were a family of four, and after a 4-hour plane ride, a 2-hour customs line, and a 3½-hour drive from San José Airport, we arrived at the hotel completely exhausted. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and care. Friendly staff immediately took our luggage and transported us by golf cart to the lobby, where four fresh fruit drinks were waiting for us. I was introduced to my concierge, completed check-in quickly, given a tour, and escorted to our room—all seamlessly. Our suite was clean, comfortable, and spacious, with a stunning view of the jungle and ocean. There was more than enough room for my husband, myself, and our two adult daughters to spread out comfortably without feeling crowded. The shower pressure was excellent—it was hard not to want to take an hour-long shower! When we weren’t in the room, we loved relaxing on the balcony or in the outdoor seating just outside our door, right next to the pool. The pool area offered breathtaking views of both the ocean and jungle. My husband and I especially enjoyed floating in the pool chairs while soaking in the scenery. The hotel grounds are beautifully maintained and surrounded by a lush tropical setting. The staff throughout the property was exceptional. Our concierge, Edson, was incredibly helpful—always available to answer questions, arrange meals, and set up tours. Abraham at the Luna Restaurant was exceptional."

"We did not stay in the property given the poor state and unsafe conditions of the facilities (end Nov 2025) 1- We booked the deluxe bungalow, butwhen we arrived to the property, they told us that the electronic lock was not working and they could not fix it.  2- They offered alternatives but the rooms they showed us were substandard: no water in the taps, big gap in the toilets between the roof and the wall- which did not allowed for basic privacy and it felt unsafe for our belongings and us personally; there were cockroaches in the room and many areas in the hotel were in disarray and looked shabby/ under construction. Every part of the complex looked abandoned and dilapidated, nothing like the photos. We even doubted that it was operational when we arrived, the front of the building looked so shabby and abandoned- no ordinary reception desk. All communication are via WhatsApp.  3- The person who opened the front door reassured us that we could have a full refund. She even called hotels to try to book us for the night, which seems to indicate it’s not an isolated event. We ended up booking another place so we could stay somewhere safe for the night. This caused added stress and disruption to our trip. When I messaged the property to ask them to reply to the claim for refund, they declined but offered instead to give me cash (partial refund of $60) if I could come to collect it in person, which I refused because it seemed unsafe and dodgy. No resolution from Expedia neither"
