Hotel San Bada Resort & Spa

Abundance of wildlife on your doorstep and perfect location for the National Park,

Pros: Location was amazing right by the entrance to Manuel Antonio national park. We had one of the suites for a family of 4 that was perfect. Parking The roof top terrace for wildlife spotting Loved the cheeky monkeys on the balcony. Staff at breakfast were amazing.

Cons: Parts of the hotel are a little tired but this didn’t distract from the stay.

Comfortable, Relaxing, Great Staff.

Pros: The food overall was delicious large portions. The pool was great. Good bar. Needed a waitress. lot of work for the bartender

Cons: Location was great for the park not so much for restaurants or shopping. Great jungle view saw several animals close up.

Great parking and location. A three

Pros: Its location was great. A Birds Eye view of the park.

Cons: The WiFi only worked the room 50% of the time. This made streaming very difficult. Also the decor Could Use some Updating.

Loved it.

Pros: Loved it, the room is even better than the picture. We saw monkeys iguanas and toucans from our room.

Excellent location for the national park

Pros: The hotel is next door to the national park. The adults only pool on the roof terrace was very tranquil, next to the sushi bar which did amazing food that you could eat whilst watching the sunset, beautiful.

Cons: Nothing to dislike

Right next to the park

Pros: It’s in a fantastic location, right next to the park entrance. There is a bus that leaves from the beach that heads to Manuel Antonio and Quepos, as there isn’t a great deal around in the evening after the park has closed. The rooms were bright, spaces and airy and almost back on to the jungle itself - we saw deer, monkeys, raccoons and countless birds from our balcony. The breakfast options were decent too, though would’ve been handy to open a little earlier at 6:30am to be able to get to the park for opening at 7am. Plenty of parking available too, with security on the front gate.

Cons: It was expensive for 3 nights - but so is everything in Costa Rica!

Well situated for the national park with a fab rooftop bar.

Pros: Fab rooftop bar. I enjoyed using the pool up there too. The breakfast was good and so were the evening meals that I had.

Cons: I had the impression that the hotel was closer to the beach and would have had a view of the sea and loungers available there. The loungers by the pool were unbelievably uncomfortable

Pros: It's right next to the National Park so very convenient. Also you can see birds from the roof top bar (including scarlet macaws and singing toucans!). The tour to the private waterfalls was also well worth it!

Cons: There were problems with the water and safe, but these were very quickly sorted

Pros: Location is perfect, just few steps from the entrance to the National Park. Or you can go through a private passage to the public beach with restaurants.

Cons: During the rain we got water flowing from the ceiling, so they have asked us to move to another room, lower class, without any apologies or compensation. It was rude.

Fabulous stay in an amazing location

Pros: Very comfortable room and hotel. Loved watching the monkeys and iguanas from our room and the fabulous top floor where we enjoyed sushi and cocktails with our sunsets to birdsong from toucans. Beds v comfortable and AC very good. Amazing location bang next to the national park.

Cons: The pool wasn’t that appealing, breakfast was a bit hit n miss but sufficient.
