My wife is not a surfer, but enjoyed the hotel’s other offering such as yoga, pool and hiking. Initially, we were not sure if we would like the family style dining arrangement, but ended up...

Top Matapalo Beach Hotel Reviews

Lamangata Luxury Surf Resort - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Lamangata was one of the best stays I've ever had. The property sits high in the hills above the jungle with views all the way to the ocean, and the infinity pool looking out over the valley is unreal, especially at sunrise and sunset. The team plans everything for you. Each morning a hand-drawn chalkboard lists the tide times, meals and the day's activities, so all we had to do was show up. Our surf instructor started us off in the pool before taking us out in the ocean, which made learning feel easy and safe. They also set up a zipline and a trip to the Nauyaca waterfalls, and the transport ran right on time. The food was a highlight: fresh, colorful and made from scratch every day. Avocado toast, tacos, poke bowls, shrimp ceviche, BBQ ribs. Everything was delicious. The rooms are beautiful, with warm wood, stone sinks, soft lighting and a walk-in shower, and they were spotless. The common areas feel open and calm. What really set it apart was the staff. They were warm and attentive and made us feel like family. On our last day they gave us printed photos from the trip with a thank-you note, a touch we'll never forget. I can't recommend it enough and can't wait to come back."

"Loved our experience at Casa Alba. The staff was helpful to bring us a lighter to light the grill, offered a complimentary house cleaning midway through our stay. The bats and toucans around the place were great. The kitchen was stocked with enough equipment to allow us to cook our meals. Pool time was great and the views were fantastic."
