Very convenient location, renovated modern bathrooms, AC in room worked very well, very comfortable bed. Restaurant was excellent.

Great property! Walkable to many places.

clean and well kept

The staff and property were top notch. We saw a sloth and monkeys on and outside of the property. Beach is a very short walk away. We would come and stay again as well.

The hotel got good reviews online, but this was one of those cases where the real thing EXCEEDED my expectations. The room and grounds were even nicer than they looked on the internet. There are actually two properties nearly adjacent to each other, as part of the hotel. We stayed at the Hotel Espadilla Gardens with a beautiful poolside view from our room. The Hotel Playa Espadilla was across the street (a smaller pool, but has a hot tub) and we had a delicious free breakfast there everyday. It was conveniently located a short walk to the beach near several restaurants, a market, souvenir shops, and of course was right by the famed Manuel Antonio park (we were so close to the entrance, we were able to walk). The kind and helpful staff happily arranged a tour guide and tickets to the park (which was actually really lucky, because otherwise the limited tickets were sold out during the busy week before Easter. They also arranged an awesome catamaran snorkeling trip. Note #1) The website noted laundry was available; I thought that meant self-serve, so I brought detergent; however it was a send-out service that charged by weight (of dried clothes) and was pretty expensive. Note #2) there were only a couple of electrical outlets, so charging devices was a little tricky. OVERALL, this was a TERRIFIC stay and I definitely would stay there again.

Staff is excellent and very nice! Highly recommend! Also near the beach and convenient for dining.

The location is great. Very convenient for the national park and beach. The breakfast is excellent. A lot of restaurants nearby.

We loved our stay at Playa Espadilla y Gardens hotel! Usually you expect a hotel/resort to be a little less nice than the pictures show online since they show off the best parts - here we were surprised to find it was even more beautiful and luxurious than we expected! We would love to stay here ag

Great Hotel and location

Very large and comfortable room, pretty grounds, very convenient. They provided us with boxed breakfasts to accommodate our early tour. Additionally they permitted us to return after tour and visit of Manuel Antonio to use pool and showers.

Walk to the beach. Fantastic staff and facilities, nice pools, bar and restaurant. Thumbs up once again!

Well maintained property that has a bit of a vintage character. Breakfast is terrific, but what is really special is that it is an easy walk to the National Park and the main street with good dining options. Many others arrived at the national park by bus or car with limited parking. We were happy with our choice

It was just a short walk to the beach. Staff attentive and we felt very safe walking around property. The restaurant is on the sister property just 2 minutes up the road. The food was delicious.

Staff was wonderful. Able to leave our car there after check out and spend day in Manuel Antonio park. Even allowed us to use showers and pool after return. Walking distance to beach and park. Would highly recommend

Very welcoming, clean, great service, nice staff, friendly demeanor, very nice rooms, very nice pool area, convenient to preserve.

The complimentary breakfast is delicious, the best we have ever had. The location is perfect if you want to go to Manuel Antonio. Its just far enough away from the park to get away from the tourist trap vendors. This is also a great location if you want to go to Espadilla Beach. The rooms are clean and the staff is really pleasant.

The rooms were clean, staff was friendly and I loved the location. Only 2min walk to the beach and 6 min walk from the main entrance of the national park. Also great perks was monkeys came into the hotel by the pool area so I really enjoyed that

Great staff and excellent location! Very close to the National Park and the beach! Walking distance to both.

The grounds and easy access to Manuel Antonio were both amazing!

Beautiful property, amazing value, friendly and helpful staff, great breakfast.

Clean, good location

Nice Hotel with close proximity to Manuel Antonio Park ,and our No 1 choice though San Bada Hotel was there which was overpriced ,actually all hotels in Costa Rica are overpriced ,but is a nice property ,only thing this room lacked was a cupboard or closet to hang our stuff which was quite inconvenient leaving our stuff in our suitcases and on the bed ,which house cleaning staff had to move our clothes while making the room ,otherwise its a wonderful place , super sumptuous breakfast which the family loved and I highly recommend this hotel to guests wanting to visit Manuel Antonio National Park ,which you can see the beauty and biodiversity that our planet has and kudos to the Costa Rican government which spends to maintain this natural beauty.

This hotel is wonderful! Great service from reception to the restaurant. Location is perfect for the beach and close proximity to Manuel Antonio NP. We stayed for 3 days and loved it! The restaurant staff even sang happy birthday to me (via request from my hubby).

Loved the trials through the reserve, the swimming pool and gardens. Very convenient for beach too. Staff friendly and helpful.

One of my favorite hotels now, the experience was great, location is very convenient and the food/restaurant is amazing.

Very convenient for going to the National Park. The hotel bar and restaurant are a great place to unwind at the end of the day.

What we liked- staff very friendly & helpful, very clean property/rooms, good breakfast, beautiful property, good location - we could easily walk to the beach, the National Park, to the bus stop & to some restaurants/sodas. What we didn't like - not much room for our luggage/space to unpack & no towel racks/ hard to hang up clothing to dry.
