OUR TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE WOTH SAN BADA HOTEL
San Bada hotel was the worst experience my family have ever had with hotels. We have reserved and paid in advanced two rooms for 3 nights for my family vacation and were charged $335 per room per night. We have expected a reasonable hotel for this price but we were EXTREMLY disappointed. We have found a run down old hotel. The rooms smell terrible and are full of bugs. The sheets are not clean and the pillows are smelly. The staff are tired and really do not care. After the first night we went for breakfast and found the place dirty and full of flies. We really could not eat there. We approached the manager and explained our huge disappointment of the hotel. We asked to leave and asked for refunds for the two nights left (that we have paid in advance). The manager was rude and refused to refund anything. To save our family vacation, we had to make new reservation in another hotel and left San Bada hotel. It left us with a terrible taste for our vacation. The San Bada hotel charges high price for very poor return. The exuberant price for this terrible hotel, in my opinion is NOT justified.

10/10 Exceptional

The property is located right outside the entrance to Manuel Antonio. We ate at the sushi restaurant which was good and had a great view. It was raining out and the sound of the rain on the roof of the restaurant was wonderful. We also had some wildlife come in while we were dining, which of course was one of the advantages to being right next to the park. Our room was comfortable and I slept amazing in the bed. We did walk down to the beach, it’s only about 6-7 minutes up a trail. I will be back!

This property is literally next to the entrance to Manuel Antonio National Park and a two or three minute walk to the beach. The restaurant at the top of the hotel has a spectacular view of the beach and bay.

Our balcony was up against trees where monkeys flew around. The on site restaurant came in handy during the thunderstorm. Rooms are lovely with high ceilings. Location is right up against National Park, the small street has many shops, restaurants, vendors. Beach access is nearby as well.

Hotel San Bada was incredible!! Location is the best for Manuel Antonio. The staff was awesome. Always did everything that they could to answer questions, make suggestions, make me feel relaxed, and take care immediately of any concerns we had during our stay! Housekeepers do an amazing job making sure everything is clean and disinfected! We loved our stay there!!

This place was incredible! You are literally staying inside Manuel Antonio National Park. And the beach is 5 minutes away. They did everything possible to accommodate me. Thank you again!

2/10 Poor

Location was great - right next to the National park but it is showing it’s age. I got bitten by a wasp (incredibly painful). There was a hive right outside our door and no one seemed to care. I also could not adjust the temp of the AC - it seemed fixed. Sweated all night. Plumbing was a bit wired as well. Switching on the wash basin tap seemed to cause dripping in the shower every time. Very strange.

I reported some loose towel rack and faucet which they response right away to fix the issue. I would stay there again since it is next to national park and the beach.
