Service was fantastic during our stay. Beautiful hotel with convenient location. What really stood out most was the accommodations available for my mother in law. The staff was really attentive. Thank you for the enjoyable stay. Definitely will return for our next stay.

We stayed at Hotel San Bada for two nights. You can't beat the location, it's literally next to Parque Manuel Antonio. The hotel itself was descent although the screen doors in both our rooms were jammed shut, so we were unable to access the patio. The pool area is nice and the bartenders friendly. The restaurant is pretty good and breakfast was included in the rate.

The property is rustic and well maintained, with huge rooms which are very comfortable, and elegantly organized on our arrival with a beautiful beach scene including a crab and flowers. The views to the ocean, plants and trees was magnificent. Water pressure in the rooms was excellent, as was the warn and cold water. It is at the park entrance, so you can see wildlife over the fence. We saw monkeys and enjoyed their early morning hooting rituals. Pleasant staff, and decent restaurants. Breakfast was fine, nothing elegant or particularly tasty. We enjoyed the local music one morning. There are many good dining options nearby if you need to try more out. WiFi never worked for us, so check if it's functional in your room in case you really need it.

Property is in a prime location. The view from the 5th floor facing the beach was breathtaking. The room was clean and staff on site was very attentive. Roof top restaurant/pool was great to bird watch and hang out. We saw a few monkeys, raccoons and Tucans. Would definitely come back again.

I originally searched Expidia for “Costa Rican scuba resorts “ San Bada is not a Scuba resort. I went to the closest town and found a dive shop. And what the staff in Dan Bada told me was true, The” diving here is not very good “proved correct. But I crossed “Diving the Pacific “off my bucket list. Which brings me to the thing about Costa Rica. It is well developed. The people are but every thing is not measured in hours not miles or klicks. San Bada is 3 hours from the airport.I did “Eco” Tourism. San Bada is just outside of Manuel Antonio national Park. Great experience. But if you want to go the Volcsmic hot springs,2 hours away. The jungle Zip lines , not to far 45 mins good scuba 6hrs away (like on the Carribean side of the country) the volcano’s 4 hours away. So you need to rent a car because transportation from the airport (3 hours away) is $180 (each way) the closest town is called (I think) Ocaso nice town and they a “Malicon”along the beach,festive weekends. And a farmers market.as well as a few clubs.But I have done that. To American females, you do not do “eco” tours in a Sundress and sandals.i explained that to my daughters when I took them to Tobago. I plan to go back to Costa Rica. But I will spend one week on the Atlantic side at a SCUBA resort and one week at San Bada.

What an amazing stay at Hotel San Banda! Closest hotel to Manuel Antonio park! We actually saw more animals at our hotel than IN the park! Staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. The walk to the beach was easy! Will definitely stay again.

Hotel has the caliber and perfect location but it is a rundown with makeshifts things done in the room, older furniture, older overall outlook. It was definitely not worth the price paid almost $300 per night. Breakfast restaurant was super hot and humid. Breakfast buffet table lacked cleanliness. Pool and shower and beach access is good. I would not recommend friends or stay again there.

We booked this hotel for three nights but we stayed only two nights and moved out on third night Costa Verde Hotel. We had no hot water, no Wi-Fi, no TV since no internet, hair drier did not work, balcony door did not lock, rails on balcony were rusty, no game room as advertised, water in pool was cloudy, pool bar looked poor and needs some remodeling, pool loungers were torn, entrance to the pool smelled with sewer, breakfast and dinner at Congo restaurant were below average. We called front desk to fix room problems, but no one ever came.We also called to help us bring down our bags when we checked out but no one showed up. I think there was some language barrier, communication issues. The area around the hotel was full of merchants since it was right by the entrance to the Manuel Antonio Park. Not pretty. We would move out the second day but there was no availability at other hotels with higher rating.

Very convenient to the Manuel Antonio park entrance. The hotel is dated and the furniture is quite old, but everything worked fine, the rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The walk to the beach is a bit sketchy but it's very short and easy. Very friendly and helpful reception staff. Food was good at the restaurant also

The hotel staff acted like we were bothering them by being there. We were one of few families and it was a continuous fight to get service.

The hotel is a great location, it is very close to the national park and the beach. Unfortunately though the hotel itself is in need of serious maintenance and renovations.

San Bada is a great location for the National Park, beach, and a few restaurants. Breakfast was good. Rooms are spacious and clean. Unfortunately the view towards the ocean from all rooms, is looking at a group of run down buildings. Very disappointed that our view was of the rundown buildings with a small glimpse of the ocean.

Very nice resort and the area was perfect. 5 minute walk to the beach and the hotel is also right next to National Park. Very friendly staff and quick service. Would definitely go again.

San Bada hotel was the worst experience my family have ever had with hotels. We have reserved and paid in advanced two rooms for 3 nights for my family vacation and were charged $335 per room per night. We have expected a reasonable hotel for this price but we were EXTREMLY disappointed. We have found a run down old hotel. The rooms smell terrible and are full of bugs. The sheets are not clean and the pillows are smelly. The staff are tired and really do not care. After the first night we went for breakfast and found the place dirty and full of flies. We really could not eat there. We approached the manager and explained our huge disappointment of the hotel. We asked to leave and asked for refunds for the two nights left (that we have paid in advance). The manager was rude and refused to refund anything. To save our family vacation, we had to make new reservation in another hotel and left San Bada hotel. It left us with a terrible taste for our vacation. The San Bada hotel charges high price for very poor return. The exuberant price for this terrible hotel, in my opinion is NOT justified.

Stayed hear 1 night. Steps from the park. Was not very full so that was nice. Not sure what the experience would be like if the property were full. AC worked well. Pools and bars were nice. Breakfast was very good and included. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Luis, our tour guide for the park, was excellent. I would highly recommend a guide. They are able to find the animals much easier and they use your phone with their spotting scopes to get excellent pictures. It was $51 USD per person but that does include your admission to the park. Pura Vida!

We loved our stay at the San Bada! It’s a great location directly next to Manuel Antonio park. Very convenient walking distance to the beach and a few restaurants. The staff was very helpful, even tracking us down in the hotel restaurant after we checked out and left something in our room. The rooms were clean and we saw lots of wild life, especially monkeys right outside our door several times!

The property is located right outside the entrance to Manuel Antonio. We ate at the sushi restaurant which was good and had a great view. It was raining out and the sound of the rain on the roof of the restaurant was wonderful. We also had some wildlife come in while we were dining, which of course was one of the advantages to being right next to the park. Our room was comfortable and I slept amazing in the bed. We did walk down to the beach, it’s only about 6-7 minutes up a trail. I will be back!

This property is literally next to the entrance to Manuel Antonio National Park and a two or three minute walk to the beach. The restaurant at the top of the hotel has a spectacular view of the beach and bay.

Our balcony was up against trees where monkeys flew around. The on site restaurant came in handy during the thunderstorm. Rooms are lovely with high ceilings. Location is right up against National Park, the small street has many shops, restaurants, vendors. Beach access is nearby as well.

Hotel San Bada was incredible!! Location is the best for Manuel Antonio. The staff was awesome. Always did everything that they could to answer questions, make suggestions, make me feel relaxed, and take care immediately of any concerns we had during our stay! Housekeepers do an amazing job making sure everything is clean and disinfected! We loved our stay there!!

This place was incredible! You are literally staying inside Manuel Antonio National Park. And the beach is 5 minutes away.
They did everything possible to accommodate me. Thank you again!

Location was great - right next to the National park but it is showing it’s age. I got bitten by a wasp (incredibly painful). There was a hive right outside our door and no one seemed to care. I also could not adjust the temp of the AC - it seemed fixed. Sweated all night. Plumbing was a bit wired as well. Switching on the wash basin tap seemed to cause dripping in the shower every time. Very strange.
