Stayed at San Bada in early May with my girlfriend, the service of the Hotel staff was amazing they did an extra job keeping us busy with many tours suggestions and places to visit. I definitely recommend this Hotel to anyone that wants to have a romantic scape into the national park nature and relax at the beach. Thank you... More

I was supposed to write this when we returned from Costa Rica in February but have been really busy since. My husband and I stayed in Hotel San Bada for 1 week. Their hospitality is the best we have ever experienced. Shagy picked us from the airport and on the way I told my husband that I was hungry, without... More

We had an amazing time in this property. we had good food at the restaurant, San Bada's location is fantastic, close to the main attraction in Manuel Antonio, one small grocery store, and many places to grab some food. The highlight of our stay was the kindness of the staff. Christian was taking care of us with everything, one day... More

Right up front upon arrival you can tell the hotel does not belong there. It is big and not well designed.However, the staff is very helpful and the room was comfortable. our group was placed in this property because they offered a very good price. I learned that we were around 11 guests in the hotel. That may explain the... More

Our family vacation started in this wonderful property. The best thing San Bada has to offer is their location (believe them when they say about their location: next door to Manual Antonio Park) This nature reserve has plenty of wildlife, an amazing beach and trails surrounded by trees and monkeys. Our teenagers loved the easy walk to the public beach... More

I'm pretty sure that hotel San Bada is the best hotel in Manual Antonio. The entrance to the park is right next to the entrance to the hotel and there is a path that goes directly to the beach for easy access. Monkeys even swung in to visit us at the pool! The water slide into the pool is so... More
