8.6/10 Excellent! (113 reviews)
Absolutely beautiful place! The property is even more stunning in person, surrounded by nature with such a peaceful and romantic atmosphere. What really made our stay special, though, was the staff. Everyone was incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about making sure we had an amazing experience.
We stayed in the Sultana Tent with the private pool and I highly recommend it! It was beautiful, private, spacious, and such a unique experience. Having our own pool surrounded by the jungle made it feel like our own little tropical escape.
From the moment we arrived until we left, the attention to detail and service were exceptional. We felt completely taken care of. If you’re visiting Manuel Antonio and want something different from a typical hotel, this place is truly special. We would absolutely stay here again!

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.
