Issimo Suites Boutique Hotel & Spa - Adults Only

I can see the wildlife from the room and eating area.

It’s expensive but it worth it The food in restaurant is outstanding. There was live music and they also have private security on the property

The hotel is adorable, our room was spacious and special! I honestly never thought that I would jacuzzi on a beach vaca but ended up using it almost every day. True ocean view from our bed! Lots of wild life: sloths, monkeys, birds in every color. Delicious food. Great massages. Most of all, the whole staff were genuinely amazing! Would definitely recommend it to any of my friends.

From the moment we landed in Costa Rica, we felt embraced by the warmth of the land and its people. Our driver, Josue, safely transported us to Issimo Suites Boutique Hotel & Spa in Manuel Antonio. The three-hour drive from the airport was punctuated by delightful stops for empanadas, fresh coconut water, fruit, and a visit to "Crocodile Bridge." Upon our arrival at Issimo, we were greeted with champagne, as if the staff had been eagerly anticipating us. The check-in process was seamless, and we were invited to leave our bags while the concierge guided us through the hotel’s stunning grounds. We explored the restaurant, pool area, and the beautiful spa, designed like an intimate cave. Our spacious room was immaculate, featuring a jacuzzi, stand-up shower, balcony, and a bidet. Just outside our balcony, a curious capuchin monkey peeked at us as if to say, "Welcome," before darting away. Breakfast each morning was a delightful experience, thanks to the lovely Julia, our attentive server. She greeted us with a vibrant platter of fresh fruit as soon as we sat down, demonstrating her commitment to ensuring we had a wonderful start to our day. Julia was also happy to share her knowledge about Costa Rica. Dinner featured daily specials, and the staff welcomed personal requests based on available ingredients. Don’t miss the red snapper! Our evening server, Randal, took great pride in his work, always personable and well-informed about local hotspots to explore. After a week, we truly felt a connection with both Julia and Randal. Issimo is fortunate to have such dedicated team members. This charming hotel offers a peaceful retreat, perfect for those looking to escape the party scene of nearby Jaco. For us, coming from a bustling city, it was a perfect antidote to the chaos of daily life. Our stay celebrated my wife’s milestone birthday, and Issimo went above and beyond. The restaurant surprised us with a beautifully decorated table in the morning, and our evening included a private dinner on the deck overlooking the ocean. Our vacation was unforgettable, thanks to the incredible staff and our drivers. Costa Rica is filled with wonderful people, and we can’t wait to return!

This boutique style hotel was fabulous! The service was top notch. The views are the best I have ever seen and I have seen many. The entire place was immaculate including the pool. The food was so good. I can't recommend this place enough. We could see monkeys, toucans and other wildlife from our deck.

The hotel is dated and the shower was falling apart. The pool is useless as there is no shallow end and not place to sit in the pool. The food was ok at best. My spouse and I were the only ones in the restaurant for dinner one night so I asked the waiter if the chef would filet the fish rather than have a whole fish. He gave me such a hard time but eventually the chef conceded When we asked Francois to see if a taxi would take us .25 miles up the road, wait for 5min to get an ice cream to take back to the hotel, and bring us back for 10 dollars, he said no. They would charge us for 2 trips and he would not even try! We used Uber. Uber worked great during the day but not at night There are much better hotels and for less money Pass on this hotel

The VIEW!!! from every corner, from entering the grounds, to the restaurant and the pool. Spectacular!! The room was huge!! and we had a large balcony too, where we had tropical scenery as well as ocean view. It was the perfect place to unwind in the evenings. We saw birds, heard monkeys (though we didn't see them) but we did see a big iguana on the tree one day. The restaurant was excellent!! breakfast was delicious with a nice selection (made to order) and we chose to dine there every night because the food was so good! The stuff Was awesome, friendly, smiling and attentive. Out of the 4 places we stayed in Costa Rica this was by far our favorite!!

Nothing!

We had the most amazing 5 nights here. Everything is incredible - the views, the service, the wildlife, the rooms, the pool, the food and the drinks. We didn’t want to leave! Thank you for such a brilliant end to our honeymoon to all the staff - and especially Julia, Randall and Heiner who looked after us so well!

Stayed at Issimo on a solo trip, the room exceeded expectations, the hotel was incredible! The staff was very personable and so helpful and attentive. I ate dinner at the hotel each night and Food was incredible. Location was perfect walking distance to the beach!
