Guest Reviews
- Karl (8/5): Schönes Anwesen mit grossartiger Aussicht - Gute Lage, im Vergleich zu anderen Unterkünften relativ ruhig gelegen, das Lauteste sind in der Regel die diversen Tiere, vor allem Vögel, rund um das Gelände. Was aber auch ein Vorteil ist, das Resort beherbergt eine Auswilderungs-Station für Macaws (Aras) Unser Zimmer war eher ein ausgebauter Kellerraum, allerdings durchaus mit ausreichend Platz.
- Colin (9/5): Great hotel set in beautiful nature. - We loved our stay at Gaia, which exceeded our expectations. Set in beautiful surroundings, with spacious rooms, a great pool, and wonderful staff.
We saw lots of wildlife right from the hotel grounds, including a family of squirrel monkeys, a Toucan, and a few Macaws.
We did the Manuel Antonio guided tour, which I would recommend rather than going self guided, as the guide will spot things you wouldn’t know where there.
Overall, a top hotel. As we were in rainy season, it would have been nice to have some more inside places to relax (not just the restaurant) than rather just our room. Although the views from the restaurant are amazing.
- Lars (9/5): - Die Lage inmitten purer Natur top. Personal sprich Service... besser geht es nicht!!! Hatten eine Suite mit riesige Rooftop Terrasse und super Aussicht auf Meer und Sonnenuntergang. Haben auch dort immer gefrühstückt. Auch zum Schwimmen reichte der Hotelpool für eine Stunde, wenn man im Kreis geschwommen ist. Mein Mann war immer im Fitnessraum.Auch der wahr ok Man hatte über WhatsApp einen Ansprechpartner, der jederzeit für einen erreichbar war. Unsere Frühstücks Bestellungen bei dieser Person, für unsere Terrasse, liefen IMMER verkehrt. Manchmal haben wir uns gefragt, ob der WhatsApp Ansprechpartner nur eine KI ist. Die Qualität des Frühstücks entsprach keiner 5 Sterne. Als Beispiel waren waren bei den Eier Benedict
die Eier roh und schwammen in Soße, Kaffee war ziemlich gruselig (natürlich unsere Meinung)
- Markus (7/5): Top Küche und Personal - das war's - Sehr gute Küche. Sehr nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal. Der Blick auf die Sonnenuntergänge. Durch zu viele externe Gäste teils Ambiente im Restaurant wie in einer Kantine. Ein Adult Hotel kann nicht aus Profitorientierung dieses Konzept gerade zum Dinner durchbrechen, wenn man genau dann eine ruhige und entspannte Atmosphäre haben möchte. Hotelgäste mussten das Essen verschieben, weil durch Besucher alle Tische ausgebucht waren. Der Poolbereich könnte ansehnlicher gestaltet und besser strukturiert sein. Generell fehlen Liege- und Sitzplätze - insbesondere mit Schatten. Das Konzept mit den beiden Poolwannen ist nicht wirklich überzeugend und ziemlich hässlich
, auch wenn man die Hanglage berücksichtigen muss. Die Roof Too Bar, mit nur 3 Stunden Öffnung, sollte auch dringend ansehnlicher gestaltet werden. Eine richtige Bar für abends gibt es nicht. Alles in allem war nur die Küche auf höchstem Niveau und ein Großteil des Personals.
- SRF1 (10/5): - Everything Nothing
- Juan (8/5): - La atencion, todos super atentos! Muy amables todos y muchas comodidas el hotel. Restaurant, bar, 3 piletas, buena vista. Buena ubicacion
- Gregory (10/5): - Beautiful resort on a lovely reserve. The staff were so attentive and kind.
- Elinor (10/5): מלון מדהים, צוות מדהים, מיקום מושלם, אוכל טעים - הכל כלום
- Srimath (9/5): - Great views from the restaurant
- Eva (7/5): - La localisation et le service de conciergerie Les chambres en rez de chaussez sans aucune vue, les fenêtres donnent sur un couloir extérieur ou les autres clients passent donc les rideaux restent fermés.
Les équipements et la decoration vieillot pour un hôtel de ce standing.
Le restaurant en dessous de nos attentes.
Le rapport qualité prix n’est pas bon.
- kohava (10/5): מושלם חלום - הכל צוות נהדר מסעדה מצוינת ארוחת בוקר וערב טעים מאוד
- Laura (10/5): September stay at Gaia Hotel and Reserve - The whole experience at Gaia was wonderful. We had our own concierge, which was great, as anything we needed, we could WhatsApp and our request would be done straight away.
We were also lucky enough to have our room upgraded, which was a lovely surprise.
The food was excellent, great breakfast options, which was included in our rate. The dinner menu was extensive, dishes were well presented and very tasty.
All staff were wonderful and couldn't have been more helpful.
The resort itself is basically in the forest and the wildlife around the hotel that we saw was amazing. Sloths, Scarlet Macaws, Toucans, Monkeys, many variety of birds, Iguanas, Lizards, Frogs and more....
Thank you to all at Gaia for making our trip amazing. Nothing to report here
- ALDO (10/5): formidable - excelente, en especial el trato del personal tales como Deiver, Alessio y Maria Fernanda
la calidad de lo que ofrece el hotel que los dias lunes no abren el spa
- Marilyn (8/5): -
- Claudia (10/5): El millor hotel del viatge - Tot! Des del check in cuidant cada detall com deixar-nos triar la gamma de sabó que voliem, el tracte del personal, les vistes des del restaurant, la qualitat del menjar, el transport gratuit al parc de manuel antonio, la pròpia reserva de l'hotel, les piscines, la calma, que ens deixessin utilitzar la dutxa de l'spa hores després del checkout... TOT va ser meravellós.
Afegeixo fotos de les vistes i animals que vam veure des del restaurant i la piscina de l'hotel. Marxar :( Ens haguessim quedat més dies, sobretot perquè era dimarts i haguessim volgut poder gaudir del tour a la reserva de l'hotel però els dimarts està tancada.
- Amanda (8/5): Muy buena experiencia con un trato inmejorable - Estuvimos tres días en agosto y desde incluso antes de llegar al hotel tuvimos la mejor atención por parte de Gary, nuestro concierge asignado. Durante toda la estadía tanto Gary como todo el personal estuvieron pendientes de todos los detalles y pasamos unos días increibles allí. Nuestra habitación era amplia, limpia y cómoda.
El desayuno muy bueno y completo, con unas vistas preciosas. También recomiendo el restaurante para cenar, especialmente el sushi, que nos encantó.
El servicio del carrito que te transporta a todos los sitios muy cómodo, así como el transporte gratuito que sale cada hora hacia la playa o el parque nacional. Una pena no poder hacer el Tour por la reserva ya que nos comentaron que estaba embarrado por las lluvias del día anterior, pero por lo demás fue una muy buena experiencia.
- Ruxandra Ioana (10/5): Would love to stay more next time - Fantastic property ! Recommend 100%
- Zafrir (10/5): - Excellent location. High standard room. Very clean and special. Charming and helpful staff. Very good restaurant. A hotel that also carries out activities to preserve nature in a professional and serious manner. The hotel assigned us a staff member, Gary, a courteous professional with an amazing sense of service and tourism. Gary accompanied us for another two or three weeks before arrival, offered us service, and was available for any questions and requests even during our stay.
- Simone (10/5): - Tolle Lage. Leckeres Essen. Schöner Pool mit Aussicht. Perfekter persönlicher Concierge-Service, der alle Wünsche erfüllt. Shuttle Service zum Nationalpark und zum Strand.
- Acosta (10/5): Great service, great food - Excelente atención por parte de nuestro concierge, buena comida La atención del pool bar no fue buena
- JORDI (10/5): -
- Hans (8/5): Los Mejores Huevos Benedictinos - - Al desayuno los Huevos Benedictinos, su técnica de cocción era la indicada (pochados) además que estaban en su punto.
- El colchón era de alta gama así como sus almohadas y sábanas
- La zona de restaurante tiene (posiblemente) la mejor vista al mar además de ser amplia y bien aireada.
- El arroz con champiñones, tanto en sabor como su presentación era excepcional.
- Atendieron satisfactoriamente (en tiempo y forma) unas observaciones sobre nuestro dormitorio.
- Atención del personal de seguridad y personal de recepción, en todo momento, al más alto nivel.
- Atención personalizada por parte del gerente así como el dueño del establecimiento. - Las frutas al desayuno las servían en plato #6 aptas para bollo de pan lo cual no refleja la elegancia del lugar como si fuera servido en plato #8 o #10.
- Para el almuerzo el lomito, si bien fue presentado al estilo medallón, le hicieron un corte mariposa (no solicitado). La salsa, un tipo "Demiglace", no convencía además de ser servida aparte en una pequeña dulcera ramequín.
- Gilmar (10/5): Excelente escolha - De como fomos recebidos, do carinho dos funcionários . Nada
- Berenice (9/5): - Our experience at this hotel in Manuel Antonio was great, mostly thanks to the incredible service. From the moment we arrived, we felt truly cared for. The welcome drink, the farewell gifts, and every small detail in between made us feel special.
Gary, our personal concierge, was exceptional, kind, efficient, and always available. He helped us plan our days, answered every question (even beyond hotel matters), and made sure everything ran smoothly. On our last day, he organized everything so we could enjoy the beach stress-free: we left our luggage safely, came back to shower, and checked out without a rush. We’re so grateful for his thoughtful support throughout our stay.
Clarence, our guide to Manuel Antonio Park, gave us one of the best experiences of our trip. Thanks to his knowledge and dedication, we saw a wide variety of animals and captured great photos of sloths, monkeys, birds, etc. He truly went the extra mile to make the visit meaningful.
The hotel offers a shuttle service to the beach and the national park, with towels and water bottles on demand. We could leave the car safely at the hôtel and not worry about parking. The internal cart rides were also super cool, the drivers would stop to show us sloths and macaws along the way!
The view form the restaurant is spectacular. Breakfast was nice and the atmosphere was calm and relaxing..
Overall, we truly recommend this place and would absolutely return! If we had to mention two small downsides: the lack of a jacuzzi in the pool area, and the fact that for the price, a second real bed would have been better than a sofa bed, though we were aware of that when booking. However, the bes was super comfortable and big.
- Eran (10/5): Simply the best - The best hotel in Manuel Antonio village. Great staff real luxury great restaurant.
- Simone (10/5): A beautiful boutique hotel with a difference - highly recommended - Its location, the wildlife, food but especially the staff. Nothing was great
- Juan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Guillermo (9/5): Great place near the national park - I had a lovely stay at Gaia Collection! The highlight of the experience was definitely the staff – everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The food was another standout – every meal we had was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.
While the hotel installations are showing some signs of age and could use a bit of updating, everything was clean and functional. Considering the service, food, and location, the price felt very fair. Overall, a great value for a relaxing stay in Manuel Antonio. Would definitely recommend! everything was good
- Jorge (9/5): Superb -
- Maddalena (10/5): Think no further! Beautiful stay! - The staff will go above and beyond to make you feel special. The guys driving the buggies are incredibly nice and they will show you sloths!
You will have a dedicated member of staff answering all your queries. We had Pamela who was very prompt and sweet.
There is a Macao’s rescue centre inside the property land and it is possible to visit it for free with a guide.
The guide, Clarence, is SO good that we decided to go to Manuel Antonio park only because he was leading the visit. It really worth it!
We booked one night and we extended one more night
And finally, you can see sloths 🦥! The building isn’t particularly nice, but what matters is the lush glorious forest all around. The bathroom’s room is a sliding panel, so there is no intimacy.
- Louise (9/5): Superb -
- Maciej (9/5): Superb - The service was truly five-star—attentive, professional, and exceptional. However, the hotel itself needs some updating and lacks the vibrant atmosphere expected of a true luxury stay. If top-tier hospitality is your priority, this is a great choice, but the hotel could use a refresh.
- Emanuele (8/5): Perfect to relax. - Outstanding service, extremely friendly and professional staff, spacious room with nice terrace and comfortable bed. Amazing walk in shower
- Hannah (4/5): Not a five star hotel, but okay - Good location, very friendly staff Dated property, variable service in restaurant
- Barrantes (10/5): Exceptional -
- Julian (9/5): Superb - Everything! Especially the staff Walls are a little thin in the villas. But tbh i think we just had noisy neighbours
- Francois (8/5): Very good -
- John (10/5): Exceptional - The resort, room,, swimming pools, restaurant and meals, together with an incredible staff! Nothing!
- Kyrissa (10/5): A dream of an experience in the midst of the lush rainforest - a stones throw from the ocean. - Paradise and superb service! Every detail was spectacular and their purpose to support macaws is wonderful. Nothing
- Maureen (9/5): Sunsets beyond our wildest expectations - The sunsets are the most stunning we have ever seen and the staff was very friendly and very responsive. The only negative was that I had to reach out to get the concierge set up. The fact that the suite had access to a private rooftop was fabulous. The free breakfasts were lovely. The pools were a bit crammed and awkward in the layout. The spa had very limited availability. There is a bit of a dated feel to aspects of the resort, but nothing obnoxious.
- Shireen (10/5): Loved it. Thank you. - Staff are very respectful and service oriented. They helped us out with a flat tire when Budget car rental company couldn’t provide customer service. and Jairo thank you for your help with the car. Juan thank you for your help with booking our stay in Sierpe for our Corcovado trip. Loved the views and Clarence is the best tour guide. I was fortunate enough to go on the property tour but couldn’t make the Manuel Antonio tour due to our car issues. If I come back I would definitely do the tour with him. The macaw conservation is really great. Can’t think of anything.
- Richard (9/5): Superb -
- Christine (10/5): Very nice and small adults only hotel surrounded by nature - First thing that stays out is the friendly staff. Good management! Love for details. KYC is amazing. It’s a small hotel. Adults only, so we had a very quiet time by the pool and it’s surrounded by so much nature. We liked pretty much everything. The only thing maybe was that we had read before about the restaurant and expected a little more. It was good but not outstanding. But also reasonable priced.
- Venegas (10/5): Excellent Stay - I recently had the opportunity to stay at Gaia Hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome and comfortable.
The hotel premises are on a hill consumed by nature where animals such as monkeys and sloths are easily visible. From the La Luna restaurant, you can enjoy a stunning ocean view. The rooms are fresh, clean and tastefully decorated, creating a relaxing atmosphere. In addition, the bed was extremely comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a long day of activities.
One of the aspects I liked the most was the attention of the staff and the cleanliness in the room. Everyone was very friendly and attentive, they really made us feel at home.
The included breakfast was another plus point; there was a variety of delicious options that satisfied all tastes.
In short, my stay at Gaia Hotel was exceptional. I highly recommend it to those looking for a comfortable and affordable place. I will definitely be back on my next visit.
