Guest Reviews
- Lucie (10/5): Un petit coin de paradis - Un vrai jardin d’eden perdu au milieu de la jungle mais à quelques minutes d’Uvita. Les tentes sont très confortables et nous y avons très bien dormi. La rivière en contrebas permet de se rafraîchir. Rien
- Roy (9/5): One of the best stays ever. Beautiful - Location, very friendly staff, great villa, surroundings are beautiful. Good breakfast Be aware that there is only an outside stairs to the bedroom. (Makes for more space up and down)
- Margaux (9/5): - Personnel sympathique Beau logement au calme
- Camille (10/5): - Magnifique établissement au milieu de la jungle. Tranquillité est le maître mot. Nous avons pris la villa colibri avec le jacuzzi et c'était génial. Chambres climatisées et cuisines très bien équipées. Tout est très propre. Nous avons adoré nous réveiller avec tous les bruits d'oiseaux. Petit déjeuner délicieux. Un peu difficile d'accès
- Hadeel (10/5): Magical oasis in the middle of a jungle but close to the beach - The view from the breakfast area was so phenomenal. The staff was incredibly friendly and very helpful. Ascending into the camp to get to where we were was like a fun adventure at the same time. The accommodation was actually way better than I thought it would be when I did book it. It was difficult to get to the paths where my friends were staying at different tents. The lighting was not very good, but it's a minor point. Most people would not have stayed with multiple parties in separate tents.
- Clémence (9/5): - The tent is in nature and feels totally isolated from the others. The grounds are really beautiful and sleeping with the tent flaps open to the sounds of the jungle is truly incomparable. The tent was very comfortable with a king bed and a bunk bed (that we didn't use) and a big bathroom. Breakfast was delicious and the view really great. We thought we read there was a kitchen available but no, nothing dramatic but just be mindful of it! It's not really a problem as there are a lot of restaurants nearby
- Christian (10/5): - Lugar muy tranquilo alejado del centro, muy bonitas las instalaciones. La piscina desocupada solo para nosotros y el río muy cerca. El muchacho McLovin de la recepción era muy atento al igual que la muchacha de los desayunos.
- Roger (10/5): -
- bolanos (10/5): - Que esté entre la naturaleza y excelente desayuno
- Anders (10/5): Midt i junglen - Sød betjening. Rigtig fin morgenmad. Midt i junglen. Meget autentisk. En smule varmt i teltet. Lidt hårdt at gå opbfra poolen til teltet.
- Braden (10/5): - This was our second time at Manoas and this place is always stunning. The grounds are beautifully maintained and the breakfast is always delicious.
- Véronique (10/5): - Un séjour absolument fabuleux ! Oui, l’accès se mérite un peu (un 4x4 est recommandé), mais croyez-moi, cela fait partie de l’aventure et ça vaut largement le détour. C’est un lieu hors du commun, avec un personnel d’une gentillesse rare, vraiment adorable du début à la fin. L’hébergement est superbe, d’une propreté irréprochable, la piscine (10/10) et les vues… Et que dire du petit-déjeuner, 100 % fait maison : un vrai régal dont je me souviens encore ! Une expérience que je recommande les yeux fermés.
- Xac (10/5): A luxurious villa in a beautiful setting - A superbly furnished villa set in beautiful gardens complete with private hot tub and shared pool. Nothing
- Rodrigo (10/5): Best accomodation from our honeymoon ❤️ - The privacy and hospitality of the hosts. The location is perfect, and the people working there really care about this place.
- jitu (9/5): - The place is nice and quiet, tents are spacious and really clean. You might park your car just a step from your room which is convenient same as is the small fridge you´ll find inside room. Bathroom with warm shower. The terraces in front of the tents are huge with large table and benches. Staff is friendly and hepfull. We slept there for 2 nights and both mornings the breakfast was excellent.
- Roland (10/5): Unser Aufenthalt war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis in wunderschöner Umgebung im Regenwald und das Personal sehr erfreulic - Die äusserst aussergewöhnliche Lage im Regenwald/Urwald im komfortablen Zelt-„Haus“ war abenteuerlich, aber doch sehr komfortabel. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und äusserst hilfsbereit. Das Morgenessen, mit verschiedener Auswahl, war sehr fein und die Lage sehr schön. Die vielen Vögel haben uns begeistert. Nichts.
- Lorenzo (7/5): - The tents do not have the AC so it is not comfortable enough.
- jose (10/5): -
- federica (10/5): -
- Indra (10/5): Een prachtige plek midden in de natuur! - Wij verbleven in een een luxe tent met twee personen. We hebben enorm genoten van de accommodatie en de faciliteiten er omheen. Alles is goed onderhouden en de locatie is echt geweldig mooi en elke ochtend kregen we echt een heerlijk ontbijt! We hebben ook veel dieren gespot. Wij zouden dit verblijf zeker aanraden! Er waren naar ons idee eigenlijk geen negatieve dingen te zeggen over de locatie maar als ik dan iets moet noemen is dat je toch echt wel een 4x4 auto nodig moet hebben om bij de locatie te komen aangezien het een kleine 3km is de bergen in op een onverharde weg en dat er geen airco in de tent is. Maar wel 3 ventilatoren.
- Sonja (9/5): Stay with beautiful view into the jungle - If you are looking for a calm and relaxing stay outside the town, this is it. You can chill by the pool and/or enjoy your own terrace. You are living amidst the jungle. I didn’t mind to not have a real AC, fan worked 100% and was enough. Staff is incredibly kind! I liked everything, just consider that you need a 4x4 and the time to get to the town.
- Pedro Miguel (10/5): - Beautiful glamping in the middle of the nature. Great staff. The road access and the distance to restaurants.
- Ramona (10/5): - Die Lage ist traumhaft. Umgeben von Wald an einem Fluss. Der Poll wurde durch unsre Kids auch Abends bei Dunkelheit gerne genutzt. Die Frühstücksoptionen sind sehr lecker und mal was Anderes zu den ungesunden Angeboten. Das Zelt war schön geräumig und gut ausgestattet schön abseits. Das wir nur zwei Nächte hier waren 🙄
- JOY (10/5): - Le cadre incroyable, la chambre immense, le petit déjeuner
- Felipe (10/5): Excelente lugar para descansar y desconectarse. Comodidad y conexión con la naturaleza - La amplitud y comodidad de la casa. Cocina bien equipada, habitaciones grandes y baños muy bien pensados. El entorno natural, el río y la zona de piscina bajo lo árboles lograron que pudiéramos descansar felices. El acceso
- Gertrud (10/5): -
- Jules (9/5): Sehr zu empfehlen auch für Familien. Taschenlampe empfehlenswert. Der Fluss in der Nähe lädt zum Erkunden, Tauchen und S - Mitten in der Natur gelegen, haben wir Amazonenpapageien, Tukane, Affen, Schmetterlingen, Fledermäusen und sogar Glühwürmchen gesehen, um nur einige zu nennen. Die Anfahrt war richtig cool und das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück sehr gut und lecker! Das Abschliessen des Häuschens war fast nicht möglich, aber wir fühlten uns sehr sicher.
- lore (9/5): Jungle verblijf dichtbij het strand van Uvita - Heerlijke ligging in de heuvels achter Uvita. De tenten zijn ruim en comfortabel. We hebben hier fantastisch geslapen met de geluiden van de jungle. Van aan Manoas kan je mooie wandelingen maken naar de rivier. Vriendelijk personeel, lekker ontbijt! Niets
- Ulrike (9/5): -
- Celso (9/5): Propriedade Muito bonita e bem cuidada - A propriedade é muito bem cuidada, a cabana onde ficamos tinha bastante privacidade. O café da manhã tinha uma porça pequena, porém muito bem feito A porção do café da manhã era bem feito, mas a porção é pequena. Proximo a piscina tinha um fio elétrico exposto que nos deixou inseguros para usar a piscina
- Thibault (8/5): - Enorm rustig, heel lekker ontbijt. Zwembad ligt niet in de zon, zonder 4x44 geen optie.
- Isabelle (10/5): - Emplacement calme et magnifique. Nous avons adoré la douche extérieure, la rivière, la piscine et les matins aux bruits des oiseaux.
- Karol (9/5): Un endroit magnifique dans la jungle avec tout le confort nécessaire pour un séjour inoubliable ! - Le cadre, les deux rivières, la piscine, la maison spacieuse et bien cosy, ainsi que le personnel attentif à nos questions et demandes tout a été très agréable et reposant. Le petit déjeuner payant en supplément au café a été très bon et préparé avec des bons produits comme nous aimons. Le Wifi n'a pas toujours été opérationnel et savoir qu'il n'y avait rien pour acheter de la nourriture aux alentours nous aurez permis une meilleure organisation. Mais il est proposé de commander pour être livré sur place et le service de Taxi depuis Uvita est très pratique alors tout a été réglé pour notre séjour. Un peu plus d'équipement en cuisine aurait également été apprécié.
- Eveline (9/5): Fijn verblijf in prachtige omgeving ! - Locatie en omgeving Warm
- Flavie (8/5): -
- stephan (9/5): Ons fijnste verblijf van onze trip in Costa Rica (10 verschillende accommodaties) - De locatie, het personeel, de natural pool, de waterval
- Martin (8/5): Echtes Dschungel-Erlebnis - perfekt für einen (kurzen) Abenteueraufenthalt. - Die Unterkunft ist mitten im Dschungel. Wir hatten ein Zelt gebucht und es ist ein sehr intensives Naturerlebnis. Die Anfahrt zur Unterkunft ist - wie beschrieben - ohne 4x4 unseres Erachtens nicht machbar und ein echtes Erlebnis. Die Lage im Dschungel bringt mit sich, dass wir viele tierische Besucher hatten. Darunter eine handgroße Spinne (außen am Zelt) und sehr viele Ameisen (innen im Zelt). Der Pool ist sehr schön und perfekt, um zu entspannen. Im Zelt gibt es keine Sitzmöglichkeit. Unsere Spielabende haben daher auf dem Fliesenboden stattgefunden. Da man abgesehen vom Frühstück Selbstversorger ist, ist der Kühlschrank zu klein und es gibt kaum Möglichkeiten, sich selbst etwas Essen zuzubereiten. Der Zimmerservice wurde an einem der Tage vergessen und daher der Müll auch nicht entsorgt- dies hat sich nicht wirklich positiv auf das Ameisenproblem ausgewirkt. Die Kommunikation mit der Unterkunft war teilweise schwierig - Nachrichten wurde teilweise sehr zeitverzögert beantwortet (Nachrichten via booking, was uns als Kommunikations-Kanal gesagt wurde).
- Thomas (9/5): - Inmitten einer herrlichen und gepflegten Anlage, ein Ort zum Wohlfühlen. Hier wären wir gerne noch länger geblieben. Keinesfalls negativ, aber zu beachten: !!! Benutze Google-Maps zur Anreise. WAZE leitet dich von Norden kommend auf die falsche Seite des Flusses!!! Der Hinweis des Hotels, daß ein 4x4 erforderlich ist, sollte ernstgenommen werden. Die Toiletten sind in der unteren Etage. Wer diese Nachts benutzen möchte, muss über die überdachte Außentreppe nach unten.
- Tobias (10/5): Super toller Aufenthalt ! 🥰 - Zuerst hatten wir das Zelt, wir haben es gebucht unter der Vorraussetzung, dass es draußen eine überdachte Möglichkeit gibt, abends noch zu sitzen. Wenn es regnet etc. Diese gab es dann nicht, da es die Schirme nicht mehr gab. Wir haben dann sofort ein Upgrade bekommen und durften umziehen. In der Villa mit dem Whirlpool waren wir dann super happy, da wir auch eine längere Aufenthalt hier hatten. Wir haben uns super wohl gefühlt. Beim Frühstück wurde man immer warm empfangen und wir führten gute Unterhaltungen. Das Frühstück ist klein und mit Liebe zubereitet und immer lecker! Die Betten sind bequem ! Der Weg hier hoch ist zwar immer ein Gewackel, aber die Aussicht lohnt sich. Es ist ruhig und man hört nur die Natur ! Unten gibt es noch einen Fluss, der auch sehr schön ist. Wir haben es sehr genossen hier zu sein!
- Simone (10/5): A Stunning, Private Mountain Escape - Our stay at Manoas was nothing short of incredible. Nestled in the mountains and only about a 9-minute drive from town, it felt like the perfect balance of convenience and total seclusion. The entire property is absolutely stunning—peaceful, private, and surrounded by nature. The hosts were wonderfully kind and accommodating, making us feel at home right away. Breakfast was lovely and fresh, the perfect start to each day. The pool is beautifully placed with breathtaking views, creating such a relaxing atmosphere. One of the highlights was the private river spot, perfect for swimming and cooling off. It felt like our own personal paradise. Honestly, we couldn’t recommend Manoas more. If you’re looking for tranquility, natural beauty, and amazing hospitality, this is the place.
- Eduardo (10/5): - El mejor sitio de nuestro viaje en costa rica. El trato del personal, ese desayuno con esas vistas idilicas. La villa, el entorno, el jacuzzi, simplemente inmejorable. Un 11. Absolutamente nada.
- Lino (7/5): - Las vistas desde el desayuno, los jardines, la piscina y el personal Faltaba luz y la cabaña estaba algo desgastada y vieja.
- Ainhoa (10/5): Fantástico - La habitación era amplia y limpia. La ubicación en medio de la naturaleza ideal para desconectar. La piscina. Por poner una pega, el acceso era algo empinado y con 4x4.
- CARLES (9/5): Uvita alejado del centro y experiencia de retiro. Excelente!!! - Experiencia diferente y divertida en Uvita en medio de la selva (alejado del centro). Víctor un anfitrión muy atento. Acceso precisa de un vehículo 4x4. Con lluvia intensa hay cortes de luz.
- Kim (10/5): Amazing - The rooms were very nice and good to have the little kitchen. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good! Location is beautiful, we saw tucans from our room! We even had our own laundry machine which was quite useful! Nada
- Torsten (10/5): - Eine besondere Lage in der Natur - Anfahrt war gut zu machen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Zelt war gut ausgestattet - ein Wäscheständer wäre von Vorteil. Morgens u.a. von den Brüllaffen geweckt zu werden, iwar ein Erlebnis, ebenso das Baden unten im Fluss. Toller Pool und sehr gepflegte Anlage - ein Mitarbeiter holte uns Kokosnüsse vom Baum. ---
- Michaela (10/5): - Very friendly staff, idyllic location, besides pool even a fantastic river spot to swim in
- Yael (10/5): Geweldige plek, in de jungle, met de rivier heel dichtbij. De kinderen hebben daar eindeloos in gezwommen. super fijn hu -
- Maria (9/5): Superb -
- Dusan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Emma (9/5): Magical place with so much privacy - The privacy, the way it was built into the flora and fauna, the facilities were excellent value It could have been a little cleaner on the cobwebs and dust. I wish the toilet was upstairs as I didn’t like going downstairs in the dark!
- Renaissance (9/5): Adventurous! - Extremely helpful staff. Thank you very much guys. Beautifully set in the jungle. Really special open air yoga and relaxation space. An excellent choice of various breakfast options. Our tent was spacious and comfortable with complete privacy. Our private terrace/decking could have a light porch roof sheltering it from the rain and the sitting/chair options could be more comfortable.
- Samo (10/5): Extraordinary place in the middle of the jungle - Extraordinary place. Glamping tents fully equipped with everything you need. Amazing outside area with a view to the beautiful jungle. Tent and the outdoor area allows a lot of privacy. Whole Manolas area is beautiful and the garden is well maintained and has some amazing plants. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good and served in an outdoor area. Highly recommended. Not that we didn't like it - but we could really use a hair dryer.
- Valeria (9/5): Superb - Very beautiful location, perfect place for relaxing in nature. The tent is very comfortable.
- Silvia (10/5): The people were wonderful and the setting combined nature and tranquility perfectly! - The area is beautiful and the people (Mack, Liz,Martin) were wonderful. The villas are on the side of a mountain and we could see and hear the two rivers. We saw all kinds of birds, butterflies, agoutis and coatis. The pool was great and everything is nicely kept up. If you want to be surrounded by nature, in a quiet tranquil setting, this is the place! Wi-fi was slow, but we were basically out in the middle of the jungle! Just glad we had wifi!!!
- Gerardo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Eric (10/5): Exceptional -
- John (9/5): Delightful place - Idyllic surroundings. Awesome lodging. A new coat of paint on the first floor, warmer lights on the second floor. Minor stuff.
- Matan (7/5): Good - The staff was very nice.
- Susan (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing property - completely exceeded expectations. Highly recommended!
- Amy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lee (10/5): Perfect Villa to relax in - We all loved it! - Manoas at Uvita was our last destination at Costa Rica after we went to a few locations and stays, so having our own Villa to chill at Uvita was perfect. The kitchen had everything we needed so we were able to prepare nice big breakfasts leisurely each morning before heading to the beach or other activities. Coming back to the villa at the afternoon we relaxed at the pool and finished the day in the Jacuzzi which was located at our garden space. We had nice laid-back chairs to relax in as we took in the lovely, maintained surroundings. Staff was very nice and helpful in answering our questions and helping to book our snorkeling/diving day. You also have a big smart TV, to finish the day with if you like. Please note you need a 4*4 car to arrive at the place. The flying bugs at night :-) as you need to go up to the sleeping rooms from the downstairs section of the kitchen and bathroom/shower you use external stairs.
- Alex (9/5): Superb -
- Clare (9/5): Perfect way to stay close to the beach and experience the jungle too! - Beautiful pool and yoga area, friendly staff, and delicious food. We saw so many types of birds - it was absolutely amazing! Loved hanging out by the river and waking up to beautiful views each morning.
- Pollyanna (10/5): Spectacularly beautiful - This is Garden Eden. What a beautiful place - best location on our tour through Costa Rica, and we had amazing places before. But this one is something else.
- Jose (10/5): Great experience, wish we can come back - Everything. Beautiful surroundings, in close touch withe nature. Very comfortable. Excellent breakfast with plus of an amazing view. It would be nice if the restaurant was serving dinner meals. However, with the full support of staff, we were able to order food from restaurants in Uvita that was delivered at our door. (The kids loved the experience of eating at the tent).
- Jasmin (10/5): Amazing stay in the rainforest - Simply beautiful accommodation in the middle of the rainforest. Although the hotel was partly fully booked, we felt like we were alone there, it is very spacious and private. The nearby river is great for cooling off, as is the shared pool. a highlight is of course the jacuzzi with a view of the jungle. Toucans feel quite comfortable there too, we have seen them several times from the terrace and from the restaurant. the staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, we recommend this property to anyone in the area looking for a hidden jem. it is a bit inconvenient that the toilet can only be accessed from the bedroom via an outside staircase.
- Eli̇f (8/5): Very good -
- Terri (10/5): Unique and wonderful experience! - All of the staff were very friendly and accommodating, the food was excellent, everything was very clean, and the property was beautiful! Such a unique, wonderful experience! I was worried we would be hot without AC, but the fans were great and the outdoor noises were so soothing, we all slept great! Highly recommend! Everything was fantastic!
- Anja (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rafal (9/5): Superb - Location is great, definitely worth staying there. Try to avoid diners served locally. They charge 20 USD for a meal that is not worth it. For less money you will get better quality down in the town.
- Paul (9/5): Superb -
- Clive (8/5): Enjoyed the remoteness, pool and proximity to town. - The property, staff and our accommodation were very good. The bed in Villa Collibri needs to be replaced. Slopes into the middle and was very uncomfortable.
- Barbara (10/5): Exceptional - everything perfect
- Maria (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gerald (10/5): Exceptional - beautiful. great place to chill!
- Roland (10/5): Exceptional - The nature / jungle is very beautiful. It is quiet, pure nature. The sounds of the animals / birds is great at night. The luxury tents are very spacious and of good quality. They are sealed well so that no jungle animals can enter. Nice views from the pool. Beautiful river can be reached by a short walk. The restaurant is excellent, highly above expectation. Prices for the food: Yes, quality was great, but the price was several times higher than in other restaurants. When we ordered dinner no price was mentioned. I would appreciate more transparency.
- Greg (10/5): Exceptional -
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional - The tent is located on the rainforest. Very unique experience. The location is very well maintained. Beautiful view from your deck. You can just hang around the property, swim in the pool, chill at the big tree lounge, walk to the river. Relaxing, energizing, you just reunit with the nature.
- Max (10/5): A wonderfully unique gem of a place. Would recommend this place to anyone. - This place is stunning! We stayed here two nights and we absolutely loved it. The tent was fabulous and the views from our balcony were gorgeous. We would leave the blinds rolled up and allow ourselves to be woken by the rising sun and the sounds of the forest coming to life - the perfect way to start any day. You can also wander down to the river for a dip should you so choose (we did and it was so peaceful). The staff were excellent; extremely helpful and giving us suggestions for where we could venture to in our hire car (we opted to visit the nauyaca waterfalls and loved it - minus some of the roads you have to navigate to get there!). We chose to eat at the restaurant one night and the food was great (ships in a jalapeno sauce - t'was delicious!). It is worth mentioning that a hire car, specifically one with 4-wheel drive is essential if you want to stay here; aside from the main coastal road (highway 34), there are very few asphalt roads in Uvita and you'll be spending a fair amount of time driving on extremely bumpy dirt roads. Nothing - we loved our stay!
- Christina (10/5): Exceptional - We really liked our stay there and the staff was particularly helpful.
- אפרת (7/5): Good - the place is in beautiful area, the stuff was very nice poor Wi-Fi, the last night we found snake in our bedroom, I guess it was not dangerous but the kids was very scared.
- Jana (10/5): Glamping with Star Cuisine - We absolutely love this place!! The Glamping „Tent“ is so comfortable and big. The bathroom the cleanest one on our 1 month jouney in CostaRica. You are surrounded by the Jungle, awsome property. The Food was the best, so good that we have 2 times diner there. Really the food is of such high quality and the staff was so friendly. You're missing out if you don't come here!!! Best place in CostaRica (for us) because everything just fit. 10 of 10! —
- Lou (9/5): Commune with nature without sacrificing comfort. - Very nice villa (Heliconia). Had everything we needed during our stay. It’s clean and well equipped. The jacuzzi was great to have during one of the rainy nights. We wanted to turn on the TV but couldn’t locate the remote and there was no extra one. In the end we really didn’t need the TV anyway. We wanted access to washer and dryer because we had been traveling for a week before reaching Uvita but the washer broke. They offered to wash our clothes for free but we opted to just wash all by hand and use the dryer since we were out and about. We didn’t try the breakfast or food offering as there was a large party and we wanted to start very early. The kitchen in the villa was great because we were able to make a simple breakfast for ourselves. Everything was great and staff were friendly and accommodating and easily reached using WhatsApp. The bedrooms on the second floor is only accessible through outside stairs and the bathroom is located on the main floor. We initially thought this will be an issue but we were fine. To reach the area you will have to drive up a rock and dirt road from Route 34. It’s secluded, peaceful and great experience. There were other guests but we didnt hear nor see many people because the villas and tents were spread out. It is atypical for us to stay farther outside of the main area when vacationing but we appreciated the experience Manoas offered particularly in Costa Rica where we were surrounded by the greenery and sound of nature.
- Rebecca (10/5): a very special place for our family holiday. - Casa Rio was amazing, huge house with all mod cons and great value for money. Manoas feels remote but is easy to get to up steep dirt track. it’s a very special place with beautiful plants and wildlife, we saw howler monkeys, lots of different toucans and blue Morpho butterflies. food was particularly good, great cooking done by a tiny team. highly recommended.
- Anna (10/5): Amazing house in an amazing setting - This place is amazing! The situation of the house was peaceful, had amazing views, and great birds to sit and watch while relaxing. Not only does it have a swimming pool but the river is just below for a great swim. But to top it all the staff were great as well. The young man who showed us to our room was always on hand and quick to respond to any questions too! I would highly recommend this place.
