10/10 Exceptional

We could not be happier with this hotel experience, really the highlight of our entire trip to Costa Rica. Located perfectly between the beach and the entrance to the national park, La Vela is basically in the forest itself, with monkeys and iguanas regular visitors to its outdoor "hallways." Staff was kind and accommodating, pizza at the bar was a wonderful easy meal, and the rooms were clean and bright. Highly, highly recommend.

The hotel is smaller and feels intimate. The gardens are beautiful and very well kept. We saw many monkeys n property. Rooms were very clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The bartender at the pool was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We have have stayed at more expensive hotels in Manuel Anton near the park, and we liked this one best. We will definitely stay here again.
