"We stayed 2 nights, and for the most part it was good. The woman who checked us in was friendly and helpful. We stayed in the Family Studio Suite, which was very nice, but required going down 75 steps (yes, I counted...), which was hard since I have problems with my knees. The only other down side was that the hot water was sporatic, which I sort of expected after reading other reviews. There WAS hot water to shower several different times, but several other times there was not. I don't...

Top San Carlos Hotel Reviews

Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio

10/10 Excellent

"We loved staying here. The place was clean, nice and loved having a fun private walk to the beach. The food was really good and we ended up eating there every night. Everyone was so kind and the breakfast food was great also. I did get a facial and I would not say it was worth half off at $70. I would recommend when you have someone paying and laying there with stuff on their face maybe massage their hands, feet or shoulders. Make it feel a little more worth the money. Just a tip of what a facial in America would be. While produce is sitting on your face your hands or feet are rubbed with lotion. Other then that everything was still great."

Apartotel & Suites Villas del Rio

10/10 Excellent

Hotel San Bada Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely experience at this hotel from the moment we checked in until we left. Staff was friendly and so helpful in giving us tips for where to go and how to best see some of the animals. On property we saw monkeys, iguanas, agoutis, geckos, raccoons, scarlet macaws, and we just missed a sloth at breakfast one morning. The view from the top floor is beautiful and we spent a rainy morning playing cards up there and enjoying the view. The staff at the spa was great and my nails are still looking great a week later! Breakfast (included) was delicious and the sushi was also very good (and very large portions!). Overall we’d definitely return!"

Igloo Beach Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was really close to beach and a walking distance from national park. We had a good time!"
