They were so informative of the area and gave us lots of tips to save us time and money. Thank you so much! ##### Wendy Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean 14 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel for so many reasons. We live it so much that 4 days later we returned to this hotel again! I also will not even consider another place when returning back to Costa Rica. Kenneth at the front desk BOTH times was so pleasant and made the experience just perfect. What an employee just added to the awesome memorable time we had ! I hope whosever reads this review truly considers this establishment as it was one of the best on all my travels around the world! Thank you for an amazing stay and we will see you again! ##### Sean Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Bryan 31 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Not for disabled or elderly.

Felt like a resort it’s ok that there was no TV in the room because there’s usually only Spanish speaking shows (and we don’t know that much Spanish, however having a refrigerator in the room. I missed looking for that when I booked. ##### Brenda Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Manuel 5 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good decision to choose to stay at Alma Vida Hotel. We were more than happy with the quality of the service, especially Kevin and Esteban whom excel at their work and even provided advises beyond the hotel surrounding. We have nothing to say than good words about this experience. We'll surely come back as soon as we can ##### Manuel Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Amarendra 29 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Amazing stay at Alma Vida Hotel. When booking this hotel, we were skeptical as it had no reviews on Expedia but were pleasantly surprised as the hotel is in a beautiful location right outside Manuel Antonio National Park, with nice clean updated rooms that are very airy and comfortable. There is some work/renovation being done on the property, however, it never bothered us. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were very friendly and kind. I would definitely stay here again! ##### Amarendra Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raluca Florina 4 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I booked a basic single but was pleasantly surprised with a complimentary upgrade to a Deluxe Double. The room was spacious, spotless, and had a balcony overlooking the yoga deck and walking trail (currently closed). Even though it was right in the center of the property, it still felt private and relaxing. The location of the room was excellent — less than a minute to the yoga deck, pools, and restaurant. It was so convenient that I could leave my things by the pool and quickly return to my room to shower, grab something, or get ready for the next activity. The hotel itself is also in a great area: about a 15-minute walk to the beach, 1 minute to the bus stop, and just a few minutes to several great restaurants. Staff were one of the highlights. Everyone was kind and helpful, with Henry and Matthew at reception standing out for their friendliness and knowledge of tours and activities. They even arranged for security to turn on the lights at the yoga deck so I could have a small incense ceremony — a thoughtful touch that made my stay memorable. During the early wet season the property was quiet, though I imagine peak season could be livelier given the central location. Fortunately, the rooms are well insulated, so noise would likely be tolerable. The only thing I missed was having a fridge for medicine or leftovers. Overall, a wonderful stay — comfortable room, perfect location, and truly exceptional staff. Highly recommend Alma Vida for a memorable stay in Manuel Antonio. ##### Raluca Florina Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Prashant 3 Jan 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Property is looking good from outside, but rooms are extremely old from inside. For example, bathroom sink, toilet or shower are very rustic and old and seem to not have been renovated since ages. Everything else is fine and beautiful within hotel premise and surrounding and views from hotel room balcony are awesome. Staff is very nice so their services are good. Free breakfast made to order is also awesome and one of the positive for the hotel. ##### Prashant Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Rita 27 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Breakfast not good ##### Rita Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Paulo 4 Jan 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities The room was very good and also the staff very helpful, I wish to thank Victor and Kevin, who really helped us. I have a complaint, related to breakfast. Food was good but in very small amount. In the first day it was complete but in the following days eggs became egg, breads became a slice and fruits were 5-6 small pieces or half a banana. This should not happen considering the high price we paid. I am sure Victor did the best he could, the problem was at administration I suppose. ##### Paulo Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ceris 18 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service This property is located on the side of a busy street but it is possible to walk to the beach (down the hill) in about 25 minutes. There is a bus route that will take you back up the hill for <$1. The room that we stayed in was clean but not luxurious. The bed was clean and comfortable, the pillows were supportive. The AC worked. The bathroom was spacious, modern and the shower was powerful and the water pressure adequate. The closet was somewhat simple with limited space for hanging/storage. There was enough room to store our suitcases. The hotel provided towels for pool use. Our room had a balcony with a hanging egg chair and a table with 2 chairs. It was a pleasant set up but not luxurious as mentioned. There was no TV in the room. The windows were a little grimy, but the block out curtains were effective. The dining room was spartan and I wasn't sure if the restaurant provided lunch or dinner as we never used it. We only ate breakfast there, which was simple but sufficient; a choice of American style (eggs, bacon, toast), Tico style (eggs, plantains, tortillas) or fruit and granola. There was plenty of self serve coffee or tea. We looked at the rooftop bar but it did not appear to be used. There were several other bars (one by the main pool and a coffee bar) that did not seem to be open when we were there. We stayed in early April so not sure if we were in shoulder season or the hotel is in the process of upgrading them. The hotel used to be called Hotel Casitas Eclipse. ##### Ceris Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raluca Florina 4 Sept 2025 ##### Raluca Florina Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Vilde 4 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Vilde Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Faby 1 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nos gusto mucho, la ambientacion estuvo muy armoniosa excelente lugar ##### Faby Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Victorina 1 Jun 2025 ##### Victorina Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nancy 30 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay Beautiful places, great location for visiting the national park and beaches.
