Hotel Villas de la Selva

Lovely stay, enjoyed myself and easy access to the beach.

Pros: Clean and quiet with a good view and a monkey highway that provides a lot of entertainment

Cons: It is very much geared to people with a car which is good but there is not much help getting advice or booking tours through the hotel.

We had a great time

Pros: Location is perfect, the host is super nice, we liked the pool, views and the nature around, we could walk to be beach everyday and we also walked directly to the National Park

Cons: Some equipment is a bit old but I think it’s to be expected since Manuel Antonio is very expensive in general

Amazing views and could easily have stayed a fortnight here

Pros: It was clean and comfortable and the view was amazing, air conditioning was great inside and even our balcony had a fan which made sitting out there looking for whales and dolphins in the bay pleasurable even at the hottest point of the day. Well equipped little kitchen - highly recommend - to our delight and everyone else staying the manager knocked on the door to let us know a sloth and her baby were making their way across the property - special moment

Cons: We had booked two apartments at the same time and naturally assumed they would be together however upon arrival we were as far apart as possible, also just a warning regarding the swimming pool in that there could be many stairs to go down or up to access it and the depth of the pool is not child friendly

Beautiful views, great location

Pros: A basic but comfortable villa with everything you need for a short stay. The best thing about my villa was the views from the balcony and hammocks to relax in overlooking the beautiful gardens and pacific coast. There’s lots of wildlife to watch and the monkeys visit frequently. I was especially treated to a sloth and her baby passing through the property, a wonderful experience. Conveniently located a short drive from the National Park, this was a good value stay

Pros: View to the sea was unbelievable. I liked monkey visit.

Cons: There are very steep stairs from road level to hotel. Breakfast not available.

Amazing ocean view stay

Pros: Incredible view from our villa balcony watching the birds, animals, ocean, flora etc - there was a mum and baby sloth living in the tree above our car too! The villa had everything we needed for our action packed time in Manuel Antonio and Will organised our trip to the National Park too which was super convenient.

Cons: It was very hard to find where to pull in and park to check in - more info on this would be useful to others in future maybe. Parking was no problem once we knew what we were doing though

Pros: Amazing view from the apartman. The kitchen is well equipped. Bed was confortable.

Jaw droppingly beautiful view in a very comfortable accommodation.

Pros: Stunning view over Espadilla Beach Flowers in front of our room Beautifully decorated Hammocks for both of us Pool with a view William was friendly and helpful.

Cons: Nothing (I mean it’s in a steep hill but that’s why the views are so good!)

Fantastic Stay

Pros: The view of the ocean and surrounding landscape was amazing. We really enjoyed our outdoor kitchen and hammock when making breakfast in the mornings. The wildlife in the area was incredible. From our balcony, we saw macaws, toucans, pelicans, monkeys, agoutis and a racoon. William was very helpful and informative, especially regarding animals. The apartment was very centrally located with close proximity to bars, restaurants and shops.

Cons: The US$25 laundry fee which we thought was very excessive.

Pros: The sea views and the balcony. Loved watching the animals. Saimon was incredibly helpful and went out of his way to let us know when the sloths were visible. The beach was amazing.

Cons: Kitchens were smaller than expected. We only found expensive supermarket
