We spent 10 wonderful days at Issimo Suites and would happily return.
We were surprised with an upgrade to a beautiful loft suite that felt like a cozy log cabin tucked into the rainforest.

Waking up every morning surrounded by nature was unforgettable-we spotted countless tropical birds and, incredibly, all five monkey species found in the Manuel Antonio area right from our balcony.

The sunsets overlooking the jungle and the Pacific Ocean were breathtaking.
The hotel has a charming retro character that reminded us of classic family summer vacations, making it feel unique and full of personality rather than just another modern resort.

What truly made our stay exceptional was the staff. Every single person we met was warm, thoughtful, and genuinely cared about making our visit special. We celebrated my birthday during our stay, and they helped my partner secretly decorate our room for an unforgettable surprise.

The restaurant offers spectacular views, and every meal was delicious. We highly recommend including breakfast—the fresh tropical fruit, excellent Costa Rican coffee, and varied menu were the perfect start to each day.

The location is also fantastic, with beaches close by - one just a short walk away and the main beach only about a 5-minute drive.

We also loved the cozy lounge nook by the pool, where we spent peaceful afternoons feeling like we had the entire hotel to ourselves.

Visiting at the end of the season meant Manuel Antonio was wonderfully relax

Staff were so polite and helpful - the hike down to the beach is amazing, I wouldn’t say it’s expert level, maybe moderate at most if you’re used to walking trails in any part of the world.
Lots of little ants in the sink in the room but you need to expect bugs when in CR! The monkeys really only care to come close if you have food on the balcony. We saw all three species of monkeys in CR from our balcony it was awesome.
Overall an excellent experience.

The pool is part of the rest/bar which is open to the public so very intimidating to use as a hotel amenity per se. Appreciate the effort to maintain some view from the pool by building a deck extension that goes over the pool, but felt a bit strange and unsanitary to have people walking over our heads as we tried to relax in the pool. They also didn’t honor my gold status with Expedia (for an upgrade) and also didn’t acknowledge the fact that we were there in our honeymoon - no details whatsoever although I had contacted the concierge weeks prior to our arrival. The bathroom is inside the room and only separated by a low saloon-type of swinging door, which doesn’t do much to help the romantic atmosphere we expected on our honeymoon. Overall a meh experience although the staff was polite and nice to us.

Small boutique hotel with wonderful service and beautiful rooms. We love the food, the wildlife and the views! Staff is always so friendly and helpful. So much to do in this area ans well and some of the best restaurants in the world. We’ve stayed here twice in the last 6 years and was so glad to see that not much has changed. Whenever we sit by the pool we have it all to ourselves, with plenty of monkeys, toucans, parrots around and beautiful views of the ocean and forest. Well maintained and safe area. We look forward to visiting again in the future! Pura Vita!

Paid extra for an outside jacuzzi and it was NOT honored. They said it was because we booked with Expedia and not through hotel. Talked to an agent about it. They said they would follow up with me and never did. We also asked for the roses, balloons, & decorations and did not come through only because I did not buy a bottle of overpriced wine with it.

We stayed 7 nights in Junior Suites with sea views and private hot tubs on the balcony (we had separate rooms). We’ll remember this stay for a long time.

The rooms are essentially as described: clean, well serviced daily, comfortable bed, fresh towels/robes, plenty of amenities, and a well-stocked mini fridge. The hot tub was a highlight (it takes a while to fill, but it’s amazing once it’s going).

A quick, honest note: it comes across as “luxury,” but I’d call it a high-quality boutique stay that’s slightly unrefined around the edges. A couple of design quirks: the open shower can spray water onto the floor, and my friend’s toilet door was a saloon-style door. My AC dripped and got noisy one night, but the team seemed to spot and fix it without me even reporting it — no issues after.

The setting is incredible for wildlife: white-faced monkeys crossed our balconies most days, with toucans and macaws flying past. The pool is excellent (and deep), the loungers are comfortable, and the adults-only option is a plus.

Staff were the standout — genuinely kind and helpful. Breakfast was good and varied daily; restaurant food was solid and reasonably priced. They also booked tours at fair prices.

Bonus: There’s a complimentary golf buggy shuttle around the local area, which made getting around much easier.

This place was the perfect way to end our honeymoon trip to Costa Rica. Loved how eco conscious this hotel was. It was a beautiful, quiet stay tucked away in the jungle with close access to the beach. The monkeys paid us a visit on the patio and we heard them around the hotel, which was a pretty cool experience! The pool is very nice and clean and was a great way to cool off after the beach and our excursions. The staff is very friendly and helpful and they offer a lot of fun excursions and experiences you can book right from your hotel. We also booked a couples massage, which was heavenly! Highly recommend for a romantic/honeymoon/anniversary trip, especially for nature lovers!

Beautiful hotel with amazing views. The staff are wonderful, provide top notch service. The reason I cannot leave a five star review is because we struggle getting hot water every single day.

Issimo is Wonderful

This hotel is beautiful and the location is stunning. The staff was wonderful and the food was excellent. We had a fantastic time.
The only issue we had was with the private trail to the hidden beach. The trail is very steep and very difficult to navigate in places, so be careful if you decide to use it.

We loved our stay there . Very clean, very quiet, gorgeous view from our room/balcony and the dining area wonderful staff; we enjoyed the jacuzzi on the balcony in the evening in the middle of the rain forest. Several monkeys visited our balcony in the morning, and I took some great videos of them. I also saw them jump from tree to tree right outside our room. Exhilarating! Wish we could have stayed longer; can’t say anything about dinner as we arrived too late for us to eat, although the restaurant was still open. Great place! Warmly recommend.

WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!

Its a small hotel on a rocky cliff face - no access to beach. Many stairs and no lift. I think we had the best room we have ever had - absolutely loved it. Room 101! Staff were lovely. Monkeys popped over - lock your balcony door after putting some banana out there. The only thing that didn't impress me was some fried reformed cheap boiled ham on a breakfast plate once - do bacon as pictured or don't bother! Breakfast was otherwise great and dinner v good though. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!

Upon our arrival at Issimo, we were greeted with champagne, as if the staff had been eagerly anticipating us. The check-in process was seamless, and we were invited to leave our bags while the concierge guided us through the hotel’s stunning grounds. We explored the restaurant, pool area, and the beautiful spa, designed like an intimate cave. Our spacious room was immaculate, featuring a jacuzzi, stand-up shower, balcony, and a bidet. Just outside our balcony, a curious capuchin monkey peeked at us as if to say, \"Welcome,\" before darting away.

Breakfast each morning was a delightful experience, thanks to the lovely Julia, our attentive server. She greeted us with a vibrant platter of fresh fruit as soon as we sat down, demonstrating her commitment to ensuring we had a wonderful start to our day. Julia was also happy to share her knowledge about Costa Rica.

Dinner featured daily specials, and the staff welcomed personal requests based on available ingredients. Don’t miss the red snapper! Our evening server, Randal, took great pride in his work, always personable and well-informed about local hotspots to explore.

After a week, we truly felt a connection with both Julia and Randal. Issimo is fortunate to have such dedicated team members.

This charming hotel offers a peaceful retreat, perfect for those looking to escape the party scene of nearby Jaco. For us, coming from a bustling city, it was a perfect antidote to the chaos of daily life.

We went here for our honeymoon- and LOVED it!! Incredible breakfast, beautiful view right from the dining area, sunsets unlike any I’ve ever seen, right from our jacuzzi. Private jacuzzi on each balcony… amazing. Also plenty of options for local tours/etc and they arrange for transportation and guides and everything.

Manuel Antonio national park- amazing wildlife, worth getting a guide who can point out all the biodiversity with binoculars!! And the beach there is incredible- clear water, white sands. Not much to see as far as hiking - for avid hikers might be better to go to a different part of Costa Rica.

10-15 minute hike to several private or semi private beaches, which we enjoyed we love hiking. 20 minute walk to Manuel Antonio, several cute restaurants - would recommend Emilio’s Cafe, Monarcha (butterfly cafe & good breakfast). Don’t recommend the restaurant Sunset! Food was overpriced and not very good. Issimo’s restaurant was delicious!! Staff very prompt and kind. Definitely pricey so we went to Manuel Antonio most nights. The suites at Issimo do appear not to have been remodeled since ~2010 or earlier- so alittle older BUT we didn’t really care, found it still incredibly luxurious for us, especially for the price.

Hope this review helps! We loved Issimo

Our recent stay at Issimo Suites was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality by the incredibly friendly staff. Their attentiveness and eagerness to assist truly enhanced the experience.

One of the highlights of our stay was undoubtedly the breathtaking views that surrounded the hotel. Waking up to the lush greenery, ocean views, chirping birds, and abundant wildlife each morning was a treat for the senses. Whether lounging on the balcony or savoring a meal at the hotel's restaurant, the panoramic vistas never failed to impress.

Speaking of the restaurant, we had the pleasure of dining there with a large group of 20 people one evening. Despite the unexpected size of our party, the staff rose to the occasion admirably. We ordered a variety of dishes from the menu, and every single one exceeded our expectations.

The pool area was another standout feature. Not only was the pool impeccably maintained, but the temperature was absolutely perfect throughout our entire stay. Whether we wanted to take a refreshing dip or simply soak up the sun poolside, it was the ideal spot to unwind and relax. Plus, the poolside cocktails (especially the mojitos) were delicious.

Overall, our time at Issimo Suites exceeded all expectations. The combination of friendly staff and stunning views made for an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a paradise retreat near Manuel Antonio.

Sub par stay at a '4-star' hotel

Not a 4 star hotel. Several other hotels in the area that were offered at lower price that we should have probably gone for. The view from the restaurant is nice. The breakfast is sub par. Lizards and bugs in the room. The toilet with the mesh door is really inconvenient and leaves for unwanted smells in bedroom.

Amazing setting with room and other areas overlooking above jungles to the ocean. Food service was good but limited/repetitive. Smaller pool probably okay for a boutique hotel of this size. Surprised our suite did not have any comfortable sitting area inside, but three beds instead.

Stayed 2/27 through 3/1.

So Ill say thay having left a luxury resort in La Fortuna to come here was an experience.

This is a boutique hotel, it is important to keep this in mind and understand that it is not a luxury super resort.

What this hotel lacks in modern and luxury accommodations, it more than makes up for in its tranquil location, proximity to wildlife and incredible views.

Check in was super easy and Gustavo gave us a welcome drink and showed us to our room.

Dinner the first night was fantastic, and there is a good drink variety.

Breakfast. Ill be honest, dont have high expectations. The first breakfast was sausage (hot dog) and ham (a slice of ham). Eggs were great and juices and fruit fantastic.

Our room. The bed was VERY firm. Cold AC, fully stocked fridge. Im comfortable around my wife but the shower is completely exposed, facing the bed. I didnt like that. Had an enclosed toilet but no ventilation.

Endless wildlife, monkeys, macaws, etc from your balcony. Tons of restaurants and things to do in walking distance, or for $4 cab ride of you dont like the heat. Overall 5/5 but Im only allowed 1500 characters on this app.

A few days in Quepos!

Being October, this was the slow season! They made sure we didn’t want for anything! Food was great. We caught mahi mahi fishing and they prepared it for us awesomely!! The rooms look out into jungle so we could see lots of birds and monkeys. The balcony is really nice for watching the wildlife!

The restaurant staff is absolutely incredible and friendly and the chef's food is delicious! It was the best food we had during our stay.
The views from the property are amazing. Here you will be able to see monkeys, toucans etc. There is a beach not to far from the hotel. The shuttle is a bit limited, it takes you to the entry of the beach (it is accessed by walking through a short trail) and the main street which you then also have to walk towards restaurants. Walking down to Manuel Antonio Park is doable but requires walking about 45 minutes up and down steep hills. Really our enjoyed our stay and would come back

The entire staff was amazing. From check-in to check-out we were treated with respect and honor. They bent over backwards to take care of ALL our needs. When asked to assist us, their response was NEVER, \"we will check on it.\" It was ALWAYS, we will have it for you in short order. Amazing Hotel. The wife had a massage and said it was the BEST she had ever received. This hotel is for those who want to be treated like a ROYAL.

Very nice people, room and hotel. A lot of character. It is pretty much in the jungle - quiet and interesting. The road in is very steep in places making it almost impossible to walk anywhere.

I liked having the breakfast each morning at the outdoor restaurant and seeing the wildlife, from monkeys, iguanas, racoons, toucans, parrots, and many colorful birds. Some birds were building nests very close and it was nice and relaxing to watch. Also, i walked to the beach a few times, whoch is nearby.

The Best

Hated to leave. This is an amazing place. We had a visitor our second day. Monkey invited himself in from the balcony. Late afternoon show every day. Scarlet Macaws , smaller parrots, toucans and monkeys. And the folks at this place are great! Excellent restaurant. Can’t say enough good things about our stay here.

We stayed 4 nights here. From the first moment we walked in the room we noticed there was a lot of ants in the room. Told the staff and they sprayed the room but didn’t make a difference. There are holes in the wall and ants were crawling out of the holes. The towels they would give us had ants on them. We had to end up getting our own towels. We never used the bathtub cause we would always find ants crawling around. We ended up leaving a day early cause of this and they wouldn’t refund us for that last day either. For how much it cost it is definitely not worth it.

What a beautiful setting in Quepos. The views from the room, pool, and dining area were perfect. It was quiet, well-kept, and very accommodating. The staff was friendly, we especially enjoyed Julia in the morning at breakfast.
First time in Quepos and we learned that, on the whole, it is difficult to get around but Issimo was helpful in getting us cars when needed. Also, from the looks of the town getting to the beaches doesn't always seem easy. Issimo had two, small beaches close by. The \"difficult\" hike mentioned on the website was perfect. Neither one of us is perfectly fit but by no means are we out of shape. The hike through the jungle was just perfect. I could imagine if you are out of shape it would be difficult, but you also don't need to be perfectly fit to make it. The quiet, peacefulness of that beach was worth it!
We realized that we aren't big fans of the open floor concept of the rooms, not having closed bathrooms could pose a challenge for some couples but we made it work. The hot tub was nice, though it did not get \"hot\" just warm. Which was fine for the climate!

Amazing place

We stayed here for the last leg of our anniversary trip through Costa Rica and this was by far our favorite stop, all rooms have an amazing ocean view, with wildlife right off the balcony, the staff were great, they were friendly and accommodating very good breakfast included, mini bar in rooms, dinner was a little pricy compared to other places we ate but food was good and the sunset view over the view with dinner was stunning, would absolutely stay here again in a heart beat

da evitare

Una situazione a dir poco imbarazzante. Stanze datate e soprattutto sporche con animali di vario tipo all interno.
Camere con la concezione assurda della doccia e soprattutto del WC \"aperto\" all interno della stanza.
Inaccettabile per la tipologia di Hotel e il prezzo
Colazione non all altezza , personale gentile con qualche eccezzione soprattutto in merito alla gestione del late check out prima concesso e poi rifiutato al momento della partenza. Problema risolto solo dopo l intervento del proprietario.

What a great place to stay in the Manuel Antonio area of Costa Rica. We went on our honeymoon and had the best time. The staff (shout out to Randal and Julia!) we’re so amazing and really helped us out the whole trip. They have an amazing Spa room and we received the best couples massage we ever had. The food at the hotel is delicious and we liked everything that we ordered. And lastly, the VIEW is out of this world. Issimo Suites is truly paradise.
