Los Altos Resort

We throughly enjoyed our stay at Los Altos resort! After our very long 12 hour trip Sebastian welcomed us with a cold essential oil towel and we were able to wait comfortably on a couch in their stunning lobby with a waterfall. The way they do their check in was something I never experienced in any other hotel. We knew they were going to take good care of us the minute we sat on that sofa. The hotel is so beautiful and peaceful! We loved the swimming pool area where we had the view of the Pacific Ocean and got many surprise visitors like Toucans, sloths, and the cutest monkeys! Also, they have the best cocktails and service ever! Another wonderful treat is that they have their own private beach, and a first class Holistic Spa! I have been to many spas world wide and this one is unmatched! There are gardens and many great tours available for the whole family! Sebastian and Andrey, My kids and I loved this hotel so much and this will definitely be our hotel next time we come to Manuel Antonio! I’ll never forget how you took care of our family. This is the first time traveling as a single mother. GRACIAS!! Pura Vida!

I stayed in one of their townhouse suites and it was so nice!! The modern design of the suite is beautiful and the view is spectacular. You have your own private plunge pool and another balcony above to enjoy the view of the jungle and out to sea. The beds are super comfortable too, I didnt want to leave the suite! All the amenities you need and a very helpful butler service for everything you need in Manuel Antonio. The staff at reception, the restaurant and drivers are very friendly and helpful. You also have access via a walk through the jungle to 2 very secluded beaches which is a great bonus in Manuel Antonio as the public and national park beach are too busy. Also the fitness centre is big with plenty of equipment even for an avid gym goer like myself. Definitely staying here again when I come back to Manuel Antonio.

I cannot say enough about our stay at Los Altos. Not sure how it is only rated #30 of hotels in Manuel Antonio. We stayed in an adults only townhouse (#6) with Andrey as our butler. Andrey was incredible, recommended and booked dinner reservations, arranged our tours, taxis, and drivers around the resort whenever we requested (getting from the resort entrance to/from our townhouse when it rained), and got us anything else we needed. They also arranged our transportation to and from the airport, $210 each way for the approximately 3 hour drive. Very easy and would recommend. The townhouse itself was gorgeous, and well stocked with many complimentary goodies when we arrived. More small goodies came at each turndown. The view from the townhouses is breathtaking. Bring a pair of binoculars and sit on your upstairs balcony, lay in your bed or take a dip in your plunge pool and watch pairs of macaws fly by or troupes of monkeys move through the trees. Just let the wonderful staff - drivers, front desk, and beach staff in particular - know you are interested in seeing sloths and they will find them and point them out to you. The hotel has a cat, Tigre, that lives at the guardhouse that we visited everyday. The guardhouse staff were super friendly and I enjoyed speaking my broken Spanish with them while visiting Tigre. We only ate on property once, room service our first night, and the food was very good. The hotel is within walking distance of many good restaurants. The location is one thing we really liked, some places to stay are not nearly as accessible to all Manuel Antonio has to offer. We ate at Cafe Milagro (get the banana pancakes), Emilio’s Cafe (highly recommend curry and whole red snapper), Enzo’s (bento box offered at lunchtime), Claro Que Si (good ceviche but oddly enough this was our most expensive yet least favorite meal), Samui, and Falafel Bar. All were good, some excellent. However my husband and I agree our favorite meal was the lunch after our ATV tour followed by a breakfast at Soda Angel (local spot recommended by Andrey), just good local food and much less expensive than the other restaurants. I also recommend going to the grocery store (go to the bigger one a bit further but still walkable to the hotel for the best prices) and just get fresh fruit for breakfast that you can cut up with items provided in the kitchenette at the townhouse. We only went to the main pool once because we had our own plunge pool but the main pool area is very nice, lots of shaded spots (some with ceiling fans), in addition to sun for all preferences. Order from the poolside bar and they will bring drinks to you in the pool. We enjoyed the drinks with lots of fresh fruit. The view from the pool is beautiful. I wasn’t sure how much we would use our plunge pool but we used it everyday, loved being able to come back from a morning of activities and cool off in our own pool. It was a big draw of the townhouses for us and it did not disappoint. Perhaps

The incredible views of ocean + jungle and the fantastic resort staff (Andres + Andrey!) made this time in Costa Rica unforgettable. Karolas at Los Altos was a pleasure during each visit. Agua Azul, Ensō, Cafe Milagro, Carambola (GREAT kbbq!), and Soda Sánchez in Quepos offered great eats. ATV and catamaran provided wonderful on-and-off-land activities. Manuel Antonio national park is a must visit (tour guides will give you the best experience for identifying rainforest animals and critters).

This was by far one of the best hotels that my wife and I had ever stayed at . The setting was amazing and the townhome we stayed at was the best room we have ever had. There were a handful of nice restaurants nearby which made for a couple of great night out, and our butler Andrey and his team were wonderful. They made us feel extremely welcome and offered a true 5 star experience. Thank you so much !

Amazing visit at this property! We saw sloths, 3 varieties of monkeys, iguanas, whales, and toucans( most seen while sitting at our villa on the balcony)! The views from the villas were spectacular and the private beach was amazing! We were well taken care of by Andrey booking us reservations and making sure we were given top notch service at every place he booked for us! The beach attendant was fabulous providing us with unlimited cocktails, food, and making sure to point out any wildlife close by!
