Isai and the entire staff are friendly and courteous and it is an amazing place above expectations. Be aware of the scammers at the entrance to the park who trip to look like they work there but are just trying to scam you out of your money. give this place a 10 out of 10 no doubt

Hotel San Bada was in a great location, had all the luxuries we needed, and the staff was fantastic. Pools were beautiful with sightings of iguanas. The roof top restaurant was amazing with views of wildlife including toucans, parrots, and other bird species. Daniel, our waiter went above and beyond! We had a great stay!

We've stayed at the San Bada several times. The location is perfect if you want to visit the national park. Short walk to the beach. Staff is wonderful. The view from the 6th floor restaurant is amazing - try it a sunset. Highly recommended.
