Liked: Cleanliness
The location is sooo convenient for visiting the park (literally at the entrance).Easy walk to the free beach, shops, and restaurants. The staff was incredible and the rooms are nice/comfortable, although tired/dated. Heard howler monkeys, but didn't see them during our trip. The pool is nice and the free breakfast was really great. Didn't try the restaurant on location (Congo) as the prices way too high. Did try the sushi restaurant on the top floor and it was really good! The view of the ocean was incredible - definitely go at sunset! It was a great stay and I would recommend.

Hotel San Bada was in a great location, had all the luxuries we needed, and the staff was fantastic. Pools were beautiful with sightings of iguanas. The roof top restaurant was amazing with views of wildlife including toucans, parrots, and other bird species. Daniel, our waiter went above and beyond! We had a great stay!

We loved the location of this hotel! Right out the gate from Manuel Antonio Park, the min walk to the beach, and right down from plenty of restaurants. Our rooms were clean, a bit older style but classy, and nice swimming pools. I would like to have known that they don’t allow you to flush your toilet paper which is very unsanitary. But overall a great place and I would stay there again!

Hotel is dated and in need of some repair and updating but doesn’t compromise cleanliness and comfort. We felt very safe and cared for at this hotel. The proximity to the park and beach was a plus for little kids and made things easy. The staff was incredibly kind. We did find a crab in our hotel room but that’s to be expected when you’re up against the jungle! The family pool and wet bar was great to enjoy a few drinks while watching the kiddos easily. The food was also very good! Would recommend for those looking for a convenient stay with little kids but not for those looking for luxury, high end vibe.

Great location beside the park and near the beach. Room spacious and clean. Attention to Service is substandard compared with similar properties in the area from what we could tell - our room door was broken the last night and we had to wait more than an hour without any accommodations when they should have given us a new room immediately, which they finally did - by then we had missed dinner reservation and lack of service focus put a damper on our last night there.

It is very conveniently located next to the gates of Manuel Antonio Park and is also 2 minutes walk from the public beach. Amenities are good and the staff ( Jose Avendano particularly) was very hospitable. The food at the roof top restaurant ( particularly the sea food) is excellent. Got to see a lot of exotic birds and sloth on the property. Overall a pleasant stay.

The hotel looked nice and the staff were friendly. The location to the national park is excellent, just next to the hotel, and going to the beach was so convenient. But the first morning we were woken up by bathroom roaring, couldn’t figure out where the noise came from. And the second day there was no hot water until we left.
