Everything. The hotel is physically beautiful -- an exotic, tropical Oasis of serenity and calm. The individual rooms facing a shimmering pool were so well appointed. It also meant I didn't have to listen to the TV or conversations in the room next door! The bed was extremely comfortable and the waterfall shower soothing. They provided both beach and swimming pool towels. The staff could not be more helpful -- they arranged tours and even escorted me to the location, they arranged a most wonderful massage in my room, and made dinner recommendations every night.

Our experience at the Paradise Bay Hotel was truly exceptional. The room exceeded our expectations, as it was immaculately clean, well-organized, and equipped with everything we needed. The bed provided an exceptional level of comfort, ensuring a restful sleep. Being a new hotel, everything was in pristine condition, which added to our overall satisfaction. The staff members were incredibly friendly and accommodating, particularly the kind-hearted front desk lady who assisted us. The hotel's restaurant was a highlight of our stay, offering an amazing dining experience. We opted for their surf and turf special, which was simply spectacular. Our compliments go to the talented chef who prepared such delectable dishes. Furthermore, our server was outstanding, delighting us with his skillfully crafted margaritas. Breakfast, which was included, proved to be equally delicious, accompanied by excellent service. Discovering this hidden gem made us immensely happy, and we only wish we could extend our stay. It was an absolutely perfect experience overall.

Beachfront experience in one of the best parts of Costa Rica ! It is very quiet and not busy except for about an hour every day when lots of tourists boats come to use the beach and watch the sunset before the bioluminescence tours …. But we just wade in or take a paddle board out when they leave and watch the show from our own personal beach.

The hotel is like an oasis in MA - only two years old and beautifully designed with a gorgeous pool area. Around the pool I saw many butterflies, monkeys, and hummingbirds! Breakfast was great and a cheery welcome everyday from the staff Angelo and Darling. The location is excellent - walking distance to several places to eat and supermarkets. The bus to MA park leaves from the end of the street and is only 380 colones each way. My room was spotless everyday. All of the staff are super nice and helpful - I really enjoyed my stay.

We stayed at the Sky Loft with my family of 3 kids. We loved the unique experience of sleeping on an aircraft. The views were breathtaking. The loft has 2 balconies, one huge one where you can enjoy meals while the monkeys play and another one with a breathtaking view for morning coffees. The property was very clean and had everything we needed. The restaurants on site (or short walking distance) served delicious food. Amazing stay to visit Manuel Anotonio park from.

The view was absolutely stunning! We visited two restaurants, "La Galeria" and "La Fragata". The latter boasted an incredible sea view that was truly breathtaking, and the food at both establishments was outstanding. The staff was all very friendly, and it was a nice touch that they offered complimentary transportation to and from "Espadilla Beach". One area for improvement would be the early closure of the family pool at 8 PM, which seems a bit too early.

So, 16 years ago, we had a very different experience at the park. The interactions with the wildlife was quite exciting (and so different from anything we experienced before). Now, they very tightly regulate the food situation in the park, which I 100% understand and respect. But in so doing, the wildlife really couldn't care less about interacting with the tourists. You cannot bring food in (they will go through every nook and cranny of your back packs/bags). You have to buy food and consume it in a caged area. Think about that for a sec: now the humans are in the cage consuming the food and the wildlife is outside watching us. The irony! Anyway, the abundance of wildlife was significantly diminished on our day there. We decided to spend a day at the public beach instead of going back to ManAntonio because you can rent a cabana and a lounge for cheaper than entry to the park. Plus, they have vendors there that sell you food/drinks/trinkets, etc. The beach faces the pacific and so the waves are a bit more fun. It's a nice sandy beach that wasn't that crowded last week.

A trip to Monteverde is one of the big ticks on the list for visitors to Costa Rica. Getting there is quite hard going on dreadful roads. Not ideal for anyone with any back or joint problems. It is a wet area so expect downpours and to feel damp at all times even when it is dry outside. The main reason to visit is to see the cloud forests and for zip lining, otherwise there isn’t much else to do in the area. Other attractions such as Ranali frog pond, the butterfly garden are poor and not worth the time or money. I stayed for 3 days and it was too long. My favourite thing overall was seeing the hummingbirds at Monteverde cloud forest - not in the forest itself, but in a cafe area just before the entrance to the cloud forest!

I go there to do dental work at Crystal Dental, as their prices are 2-3 times cheaper than in the USA and the quality is better, they speak English and have German equipment. I do not care about touristy stuff, I did it on my first visit many years ago. You can take buses for daytrips. Tours with agencies are very expensive and geared for young athletic people. I wish there was a sightseeing tour for the whole day on a bus to take pictures without any hiking or horse-riding.

This is basically a cruse ship harbor and not much to do in low season. A few bars and stores open. A lot of tour is not given due to no crusie ship arriving in this time of the year. Also, extreme weather resultet in that most tours from Puntarenas was cancelled. If you are planning a vaccation, you should choose another city such as Jaco or Uvita. Very easy to take a 2-3 hour bus shuttle from San Jose, terminal 7-10 for a few dollars.

Puerto Jiménez served as a rest-over before going to, and when coming from a trip to Corcovado Nat'l Park. We were able to take and ride bikes from the hotel to restaurants and to look around (the walkway to the pier was torn up so we had to go the long way around and the bikes came in super handy). The staff was friendly and could answer all our questions.
