We spent New Years in Issimo--not recommended for their New Years package. The mandatory dinner was forgettable, and the place was dull and dead, and far from town. We would rather have spent the evening at another venue. We had a higher-end room (our bill for the four nights averaged $500 per night - New Years, plus odds and ends).... more

My boyfriend and I have traveled all over the world and have visited Costa Rica before. However, Issimo Suites has made the top of our list to visit. The service, food, location, view, etc. was excellent. We would highly recommend this resort. It truly is the best. We look forward to returning soon............... Thank you................

My fiance and I decided to take our first trip out of the country together to Costa Rica, and booked a 3 day stay at Issimo Suites. While the trip to Manuel Antonio may be a bit lengthy (3 hour shuttle from San Jose airport), once you have arrived, there is no need to leave! A welcoming and kind staff... more

One of our rooms had a balcony, one just had the glass wall. Both fabulous. Could hear howler monkeys in the distance from... more

It is important to remember that Costa Rica isn't the USA. One night the ceiling dripped (air conditioning problem), right over the bed. It was fixed within an... more

I expected a lot from this hotel as it was where we splurged the most on per night costs. Issimo did not disappoint! Our room was exactly as pictured from their website and other traveler’s blogs and message board reviews. This small, boutique type hotel is situated high up on a mountain over looking the Pacific Ocean with breathless views.... more

I spoke ahead of time with Maday (the manager) via email regarding our room. Originally she booked the honeymoon suite however, this room does not have a balcony. This room does possibly have the best views (two fulls walls of windows and the room is located on the top floor). The downside of of the honeymoon suite (I believe it... more

We spent four great nights in one of the junior penthouse suites (Suite 102) during our recent vacation in Costa Rica, and the stay was one of the highlights of our trip. We had been a bit nervous because of some of the critiques of management on Trip Advisor, but found all the staff at Issimo to be exceptional. We... more
