Andrey
Fue agradable volver después de algún tiempo. Lo único que no me gustó fue que nos asignaran 2 habitaciones separadas cuando la reserva era para una sola habitación con una cama king. Al ser 2 habitaciones tuve que dormir yo solo en una habitación y mi esposa con mi hija en otra. Por lo demás, todo estuvo bien.
John
Very helpful with information on the area an tour options.
Jesus
Atención y limpieza excelente , buena ubicación.
Betty
Great location. Helpful and friendly staff
Michelle
La Vela Boutique Hotel was perfect all the way around. Amazing staff, beautiful property, delicious breakfast and pizza, and super clean rooms. The best of all I think, would be the location, you could walk to the beach, shops and restaurants.
Teresa
Great staff! Rodrigo at breakfast daily was friendly and quick. Wood fired pizza at the pool for lunch was delicious. And was great to be so close to the manual Antonio park and easy walk to the public beach.
Rest of staff was super friendly and helpful.

alan
Friendly welcome and very helpful staff. Great room with a massive bed. We enjoyed drinks by the pool and the seeing the iguanas!
Isabella
Breakfast and the pool area were great. Location was great. Staff was very friendly. The room was just OK. Do not like air conditioner blowing on the bed should be located away from the bed. Rooms were musty. Didn't like the barn door to bathroom that was hard to move and the location of the room in back by the woods and couldn't use the patio because of the rain. Other rooms could still use their patio.
Kelly
Fabulous location and incredibly helpful staff. If you are sensitive to scents be aware their cleaning products are intense.
Nitin
Decent hotel, breakfast is ok, but the National Park entrance and the beach is a 5 min walk from this property.
Matthew
Great place with a great atmosphere. Fantastic location, just a short walk from the public beach and from the entrance to Manuel Antonio national park. The staff were super welcoming and friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
Elena
The rooms are all unique, beautiful, spacious, and clean. The staff are exceptionally helpful and kind. The included breakfast was one of the tastiest meals we had in Costa Rica! Good access to the park and beach. Highly reccomend!
Siobhan
Lovely staff, amazing location. Lovely rooms. Nice pool. Perfect for a visit to Manuel antonio
Aneta
This hotel was modern, beautiful and very clean. We had a nice balcony where monkeys even came to visit complete with some early wake-up calls! Watching a monkey run across the balcony was hilarious and we loved every moment. The wildlife was amazing too - they even have two iguanas by the pool which we loved seeing. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is super convenient, close to the beach, stores and restaurants. We will definitely be back. We really love this hotel!
Cynthia
Everything was great. Location 10/10. The breakfast was good and the pool was a gem!
Nicholas
The best combination of proximity to the park, proximity to the beach, yet a quiet location with lush plantings throughout the property that make it peaceful, private and tropical. Great pool (and pool bar) with an awesome, friendly, helpful staff. Great breakfast with wonderfully local food items.
KiKA
Nothing else to say about this place but perfection! Proximity to Manuel Antonio five minute walk. Staff everyone VERY friendly and helpful. Pool, breakfast, poolside bar everything exceptional. All very, very, good! Can’t wait to come back!
Nick
Lovely hotel with friendly staff. You are so close to Manuel Antonio park and the beach with a good choice or bars and restaurants. La Vela Boutique has a small pool which is not busy so getting a sunbed in the afternoon isn’t a problem. Big shout out to the pizza chef who managed to prepare and cook 2 superb pizzas during a power cut under the torchlight of an iPhone. A great place to stay..
John
We could not be happier with this hotel experience, really the highlight of our entire trip to Costa Rica. Located perfectly between the beach and the entrance to the national park, La Vela is basically in the forest itself, with monkeys and iguanas regular visitors to its outdoor \"hallways.\" Staff was kind and accommodating, pizza at the bar was a wonderful easy meal, and the rooms were clean and bright. Highly, highly recommend.

Great staff from front desk to house keeping to breakfast and pool area. The location of the hotel is excellent- convenient to restaurants, beach and Manuel Antonio. Would definitely recommend and rebook
Melody
Staff was wonderful. Location was great. Walkable to park and beach. Small and intimate and such beautiful lush grounds. Rooms are not fancy but are adequate. And monkeys were entertaining at breakfast.
Scott
Good staff, decent room.
Luke
Clean, nice pool
Cassondra
The hotel is smaller and feels intimate. The gardens are beautiful and very well kept. We saw many monkeys n property. Rooms were very clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The bartender at the pool was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We have have stayed at more expensive hotels in Manuel Anton near the park, and we liked this one best. We will definitely stay here again.
Renee
The staff went above and beyond to take care of us. Our local flight was cancelled the day before our stay and Joseway sent a driver to pick us up 6 hours away. He also took care of all our excursions. Rodrigo took care of our made to order breakfast every morning and is so kind. It is a Great location! It’s a 3 min. Walk to the beach and 5 min. to Manuel Antonio National Park.

Paul
Beautiful property in only a few minutes walk to Manuel Antonio. Quick and easy check in and out. Only a few rooms so it never seems crowded. Surrounded by trees, and you’ll hear/see birds and if lucky even monkeys.
Steven
Heaven in manual Antonio.
Very enjoyable hotel experience. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful helping us get taxis or a book tours. Breakfast was nice and pizza at the hotel by the pool was very good. On the hotel grounds, we saw frogs, iguana, and many types of birds.
William
A wonderful little hotel in a great location. It was a 3-4 minute walk to both the beach and the national park. I would use again. The staff was very courteous and helpful. Breakfast was very good. I even had the pizza one night (they have a wood burning pizza oven) and it was very good. Parking can be a bit tight. I believe there were about 10 spots but it always seemed to work itself out.
Michael
Excellent , quiet , comfortable hotel - near everything , yet very quiet , clean and comfortable
Jaime
Very nice property with the beach and restaurants within walking distance. Staff was excellent and very accommodating.
Jaime
Great place to be just close enough to walk to the beach, but not in the middle of the craziness. Staff was very accommodating with any requests and assists happy to see us!
Rebecca
10/10. Wonderful stay in Room 1 for three nights.
Kinga
Nice, tranquil hotel. Centrally located, in walkable distance to the beach, restaurants and Manual Antonio Park. Very quite and safe even though it is located right off the main road. Very friendly and helpful staff. One caveat is parking. Very tight and impossible to accommodate a large SUV
Coral
This was my 8th time traveling to Costa Rica and this hotel was definitely one of my favorites! Perfect location for walking and great free breakfast options. The pool is nice and we got to watch monkeys while sipping a drink. 10/10!
I will be back, thank you!

Cons-a Towel rack was about to fall out of the wall, wall plugs in some areas could not get to.
Pros- towals where available for the beach, and the pizza they serve at the pool where great, 4 min walk to beach and the area was great, Manuel Antonio park tour is a must, it is beautiful and all different animals where incredible, but the best was the employees at the hotel where awesome.

Oleg
Out of many hotels in the area of Manuel Antonio National Park, this one is located perfectly, allowing quick and easy access to the park and to the public beach. Other hotels could be located much higher on the mountain, requiring quite a challenging hike to and from the beach. This hotel is clean, the staff is friendly, and their included breakfast is very good, with several made-to-your-order dishes. We enjoyed staying there, and would stay there again if we decide to visit Manuel Antonio again.
Kameron
Excellent property with a nice patio space. Great staff. Walking distance to both the beach and National Park.
Mitch
A diamond in the jungle. This was our favorite place of 4 places we stayed in Costa Rica. The wood fired pizza was incredible, great breakfast, friendly staff and clean rooms. You truly get the feeling of being in the forest. You’ll love it!

La Vela is a definite hit! The location is amazing, close to everything including the beach and The National Park. The daily breakfast was made upon request fresh daily, awesome! On the downside they need to add a microwave and cutlery to the rooms. Otherwise Great

We like that we were so close to the Manuel Antonio reserve. However, you are at the end of the strip so it is a bit more effort to get to the restaurants and shops.
Gabor
We have a wonderful time there. It is very close to the beach and park.

Nice place
Lovely comfortable quiet small hotel. Nice breakfast out by the pool. You can easily walk from this hotel to the Manuel Antonio park entrance. It would be very smart to do that and avoid the parking confusion.

Safe, clean, quiet, polite staff. We loved being right next to the National Park! I read somewhere that this hotel is for adults, but there were kids. We didn't care because they were very quiet and cute. If I go back to that area, I'm sure I'll stay there again!

Coup de coeur pour ce petit hôtel boutique. Personnel chaleureux, endroit charmant! À quelques minutes de la plage et du parc! Nous avons adoré notre séjour plus que parfait. Nous avons également apprécié la piscine. Et le jeune homme de l’hôtel nous a référé au splendide restaurant el escondito! Gros coup de coeur!!

Fabulous boutique hotel with a cozy feel and nice property. Good location for jungle walks and beach. However, in a rather touristy area right at the park entrance. Staff was GREAT!

I stay the week before X-mas
A bit small but very functional and neat as a boutique hotel, The Price could be a bit better.
The breakfast is really good!
The day tours and National park visit are highly recommended
Pura vida!

Just a 3 minute walk to the Manuel Antonio National Park. The staff was very sweet, helped us with our luggage and late check out. The young lady at the front desk was very helpful with explaining what is around the area and even the maintenance person reminded us we could stay after check out to enjoy the facilities. They offer continental breakfast on the go and you can order some hot food options. The wood fire pizza offered pool side was very good as were the drinks. Overall a great stay and would definitely stay here again.
