The staff was very nice and remembered all of us by name. We loved the property as each room was a separate building. The pool was fun and the restaurant was great and had live music every night.

We had great stay at Si Como No! The staff was very warm and communicative in advance of our arrival, especially with booking activities. Check-in was very thorough and efficient and they even provided us with a surprise room upgrade! The staff around the hotel is very friendly and ready to help with any ask. The property is very well-maintained and clean, though some areas appearing more modernized than others; our room felt a little old in its finishes/decor, but it was very spacious, comfortable and completely functional... and it had a SUPER view of the ocean. The pools are quite nice as well. The restaurant serves delicious food with very attentive staff; the included breakfast offering is tasty and dinner was excellent on one night. The location is also very convenient to many fantastic restaurants for meals and coffee shops. The gift shop adjacent to the property is very nice though a bit pricey with higher quality items produced by local artists and farms. Parking fills-up quickly as there are only so many available spots at the hotel, but there is extra parking at the lot right next door and we had zero issues. Si Como No enhanced our time in Manuel Antonio and highly-recommend.

9.8/10 Exceptional! (28 reviews)
If you want to be right in the middle of nature and wildlife this is the place to go. Most of the resort is raised up into the treetops so you can be eye level with creatures you'd usually only see way above you from the ground. The included hikes and birdwatching were wonderful with very knowledgeable and passionate guides. We also arranged a day trip to Corcovado by boat through the lodge in advance, seems pricey at first but was well worth it. Over the course of a week we saw sloths (lodge & Corcovado), monkeys (everywhere), tapirs (Corcovado), ant eaters (lodge and Corcovado), coatis (lodge), frogs and lizards (lodge) and so many different birds (everywhere). We chose a forest bungalow room which is just screened in from the outside. I was a bit worried the lack of AC might make it too hot to sleep, but at the end of April the fans in the room were enough to keep us comfortable over night. No need for alarm clocks, the howler monkeys will get you up every day. Overall a fantastic nature focused lodge that combines the ability to relax with adventure.
