Hotel Costa Verde – A Favorite for Families in Manuel Antonio

Hotel Costa Verde offers air-conditioned rooms with full kitchens, private terraces, and balconies that overlook the Pacific Ocean. The property includes a 6-room SkyLoft MD-82 jet fuselage suite, which was meticulously restored and placed on a hillside for scenic ocean views beyond the cockpit window. Rooms in the adults-only section (Costa Verde II) provide private terraces and kitchen facilities for longer stays.

Guests have access to 4 on-site restaurants, including El Avión (built inside a vintage aircraft) with sunset views over the Pacific, and Anaconda Café for breakfast with ocean panoramas. El Wagon delivers wood-fired pizza directly to rooms during rain, while La Cantina BBQ serves grilled dishes across the main road from reception. The hotel also offers packed lunches and grocery deliveries for guests who prefer to cook in their kitchen-equipped rooms.

Three outdoor swimming pools include an adults-only pool with a bar and a deck offering views stretching to Manuel Antonio National Park. Horseback riding, hiking trails on the property, and fishing excursions are arranged through the tour desk. Yoga classes are held on-site, and the hotel provides walking tours through the surrounding jungle vegetation.

The hotel sits 400 meters from Espadilla Beach and 1 km from Manuel Antonio National Park, with a free shuttle service connecting guests to both areas. Guests regularly see capuchin monkeys, howler monkeys, toucans, scarlet macaws, and sloths from their balconies and pool decks. Public buses along the main road run every 20 minutes to Quepos for shopping and dining options.

Family rooms include kitchenettes, full-size refrigerators, baby safety gates, and separate living areas with two double beds. Three swimming pools are spread across the property, with one designated family pool and another marked as a quiet zone. The hotel provides a free shuttle service for transporting children and strollers between the steep hillside areas and restaurants.
