About
Location is the headline: right at the Manuel Antonio park entrance and across from the beach, with monkeys turning up on the balconies around 5pm. There are two pools — a quiet adults-only one on the sixth floor and a family pool below — plus a gym, two restaurants and welcome drinks on arrival. Staff are consistently warm and it holds its own for its class; set regional expectations and you'll be happy.

Truly enjoyed our experience and the vibe of this hotel. Right outside the entrance to Manual Antonio (you literally drive up to the gate and then turn right), very short path to a beautiful beach, and the team at the hotel was great. We visited a couple other hotels for dinner during our stay and the vibe there was more stuffy than “pura vida”. The staff at San Bada appears to truly enjoy working together and their joy seems authentic; that is the type of establishment I prefer to support. Thank you for a great stay!
Great location next door to National park albeit a bit busy. Room with balcony overlooking forestry which was fine. Loved seeing the monkeys 🙈 on balconies at around 5.00 pm. Delightful but keep doors shut! Special mention to Gerard’s, Front of House. He went above and beyond sorting out an issue with a tour company that saved us a lot of money. Very professional and asset to hotel. Thank you.
Fantastic location and a fantastic hotel! Located right outside the entrance to the park, across from the beach, lots of little shops and restaurants within a 5 minute walk and the hotel offers restaurants including rooftop. The pool is nice, and the rooms were airy and spacious - and every day there were new "towel animals" on the bed and in the bathroom. A fun and clean spot with friendly employees.
