"The views from Shana by the Beach were stunning, and the beach adjacent to the hotel, Playa Biesanz, was lovey and not overly crowded.

"Great place to stay before visiting Manuel Antonio national park. Our room was probably the cheapest on the property and had no view, it's between the road and the lobby building. Restaurant on site (they offer you 25 % off because you stay there) but we didn't try it. We left very early in the morning. ..."

In the beautiful hotel we moved to (Hotel Parador) there were toucans, monkeys and giant lizards right up close by our hotel suite window and in the hotel grounds.

Great park. We hired a guide and spotted sloths, deer, howler monkeys, bats, bird life various snakes and frogs. You can finish your tour with a swim at the beach which is picture postcard beautiful.

Worth checking out Manuel Antonio national park with a tour guide; their equipment is invaluable to get a close up view (and photos!) of the animals.

A very touristy overhyped area. There are other nicer more tranquil areas to stay in Costa Rica.

A bit touristy but good place to learn to surf. Most accommodation seems to be on a main road that is a good 15-20 min walk from the beach.
