very nice hotel on the beach.

Beachfront hotel with restaurant, breakfast buffet included, at reasonable price. Office staff friendly and helpful. Spacious rooms with excellent AC. Delightful beach, plenty of shade trees, which often host sloth and monkeys! Well tended grounds. Close to restaurants, national park, and more.

I almost hate to review this property because I love it so much. The KEY is to reserve a room in the white building on the ocean side of the road. This last time we were in the building above the road, where there's a lot of road noise and the air conditioning didn't work right (there was water literally pooling on the floor). The second night we moved down the hill to the white building and were very happy. The amazing thing about this hotel is it's right on the best part of Espadilla beach and there are lovely gardens and mature trees, so I've seen sloths and monkeys just on the grounds. The restaurant overlooks the beach and they have tables and chairs on the beach. It's an older hotel, so a little worn around the edges, but that's why they have such a prime location. About a 30 min walk down the beach to the entrance to Manuel Antonio National Park. It's quieter than the crush of hotels that are right by the park. Staff at the hotel are very nice and helpful! Still our first choice for Manuel Antonio.

Quite nice hotel in close proximity to the beach, but way too expencive for the level of quality. Our room was decent and with a small balcony with a view of the garden. Garden is quite nice and had lots of cool animals living in it. Like monkeys, iguanas and anolis. Room was clean with nice temperature on arrival. Bathroom was not to big, but had a very nice shower. Small pool area witch was also perfectly fine. The biggest week point of this hotel is the restaurant. Location and feel of the restaurant is absolutely amazing. Right on the beach with beautiful view. But the food and drink quality is shookingly poor and the prices are insane. Quality and price is by far the biggest miss match I experienced in Costa Rica. And it's a shame. Quality food and cocktails in this location would be absolutely perfect.!! Also the breakfast was served in this restaurant at the beach and was not that much more impressive. Eggs scrambled to death and no orange jucie, but a mixed soft drink with orange flavor. Rice and beans were the highlight of the breakfast and that was decent. So perfectly fine hotel with a restaurant that dosent service it justice.

An amazing boutique beach hotel with a pool and restaurant. Can’t wait to return to this beautiful place.

This is a fantastic place. The only thing to mention is the service at the restaurant was not adequate (too slow, not friendly and not responsive).

Not the greatest experience. Hospitality isn't great and service everywhere is very slow. Took an hour to get some Nachos for dinner and there were hardly any one at the restaurant eating. Check in is easy but our room was at the top of the stairs and luckily we had small bags because it wasn't an issue for us but if you have large bags, good luck! They don't offer any help either. Wifi is terrible and didn't reach our room. We had to work and it was too hot to sit outside and work so don't count on wifi in the room. Good things: Nice beach access and the room we stayed in had an incredible view! I would not come back here for the price. Maybe everything in Costa Rica is expensive, I am not sure as this was our first time, but for the money, was not worth it. Amazing Airbnb down the street next to the park gate that is 3 minute walk to the beach and 5 minutes to the front gate entrance. 100% recommend that instead!

The staff was excellent, I had a lovely clean room. There was plenty of options for food nearby which they also had dining onsite.

Easy beach access. They allow the parking, pool, amenities and beach access even after checkout time.

Hotle was okay old construction but location was great, right next to the beach. Food was not ao great but there drinks were wonderful. Highly recommended crazy monkey colada.

Bad

The grounds are lovely and the beach access can’t be beat. Nice outdoor restaurant with the best ceviche and the kindest staff. But our room? Not very clean. No vent fan in the tiny bathroom. A/C barely adequate. Our bed was great, though. We were fine for a few nights but probably won’t stay again.

This hotel was phenomenal! We had a room with a king bed right by the water. Super clean and comfortable, breakfast was yummy and included. Easy pool and beach access. Would definitely come back!!

We only had 4 nights here, wish we had planned more. The staff was wonderful our and the whole grounds were beautiful. It was hard to leave. we will definitely return. Highly recommend this resort.

The staff were so kindly and friendly. This is my second time in here, everyone was very nice, the only thing we didn't liked was the internet wasn't working inside the room and i had a roof leak right on my bed, but i had to say it was raining a lot that night. Other than that, everything else was great!

Comfortable beds and fine linens. Delicious breakfast buffet. Friendly, helpful staff.

Great stay! Clean large rooms, great ocean view, good breakfast and access to very nice beach with chairs and shade. Love Karahe!!

The rooms on the beachfront are very nice. Good breakfast. Plenty of beach chairs. Staff is pleasant.

Incredible location, with beach access and breakfast with sea view. The place looks much nicer than on the picture. Highly recommend!

Lovely villa room with amazing views.

Older property but great location

I really loved the beach and that is exactly what you are paying for here -- the proximity. All the staff were truly amazing most especially the folks working at the restaurant (S/o Eric). Quepos is close but requires taxi, Uber worked best for me. Hotel is walking distance from Manuel Antonio Park which is great but the day I was there it was closed (Tuesdays apparently). The hotel is fine and everything was in decent working order. Some insects around at times but what can you do. The monkeys in the trees at breakfast are a hoot. All and all I'd highly recommend it simply because you can walk from your hotel room and within short minutes be on the beach. I had a wonderful time visiting here thanks for the memories

The property location is best and walkable to beach and the view is amazing.

My twenty year old daughter and I had a wonderful stay at Karahe Beach Hotel. The property is beautiful. The restaurant was excellent. The property is on two sides of the road. We did upgrade to be on the beach side of the property which was more convenient being closer to the pool and restaurant. We even saw a sloth and white faced Monkeys on the property. The beach is beautiful. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Our arrival started off with issues. They never informed us that our $160 private ride from the airport in San Jose was payable in cash only. They took my credit card info prior to the trip and upon arrival said it was only to secure the reservation and that the driver had to be paid the $160 in cash. It was night already and we did not have an ATM to go to on-site so the driver had to wait for payment until the next day, which was embarrassing. Then we went to our room and found that there is no view of the beach at all even though the room was advertised as beachfront and we paid a premium for that. Their response was that the room faces toward the beach and that beachfront doesn’t mean you will see the beach (you’ve got to be kidding me). Then we found there were no towel racks in the bathroom and that the TV was missing. I’ve never stayed in a hotel without towel racks in the rooms. No place to put wet towels or your face cloths. They finally gave us a TV the following day after a guest checked out of their room. So apparently they rotate TVs from one room to the next. Also, there was no ventilation in the bathroom, which was awful. Every time someone took a shower, the entire bathroom would be soaked with condensation, including the whole bathroom door. The shower door was too short, so the floor got very wet during each shower. The best thing about this hotel was the garden area we faced (instead of the beach). The room was also smaller than advertised.

Always great . Best beach hotel in manuel antonio.

Best trip to Costa Rica yet! Not one complaint about Karahe. Would recommend to anyone visiting this sweet, beautiful country. Pura Vida!

This was our first trip to Costa Rica and this hotel and the staff made it a trip we will never forget. The staff (and everybody in general) were so friendly and helpful. The monkeys and iguanas were everywhere and made my boys smile. Lot's of wildlife all day and night. The view from the rooms in the individual cabins on the hill are incredible. The stairs to get to them is a bit of an exercise, but worth the view in my opinion. I'm sure there are other great hotels in the area, but when we come back I plan on staying here again. Pura Vida Excellente!!!

Diner took a while to be ready

I loved the easy walk to the beach from within the hotel property. The wildlife that roamed around the property was amazing to see! There was nothing that i didn't like. Im glad we stayed at Karahe Beach Hotel for our first visit to Costa Rica! We will definitely return to stay at Karahe and recommend it to our friends and family!

Bathroom was dirty and the door didn't latched, the bedsheets were dirty; they had sand and they stank really bad! I asked for them to be changed and they still smelled really bad. We lost water for hours. We didn’t have enough towels. I wouldn’t stay there again, other then the view it was a terrible experience overall

Wonderful location right on the beach. Easy walk to restaurants an Manual Antonio. The service in the restaurant could be slow and the food was over priced.The staff was very helpful
