Staff was friendly, the hotel is unique and clean. Felt safe. I he walk to the beach and the surrounding area outside the hotel could be cleaned up with more litter than I would like to see.

Liked: location, breakfast was amazing, staff was supportive and pools are cool Dislike: got a room with double bed. I was expecting a queen or king bed for a couple, hotel was not crowded. Cocktails and many dinner options are really expensive. It is better to look for options outside.

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.

We've stayed at the San Bada several times. The location is perfect if you want to visit the national park. Short walk to the beach. Staff is wonderful. The view from the 6th floor restaurant is amazing - try it a sunset. Highly recommended.

We stayed at Hotel San Bada for two nights. You can't beat the location, it's literally next to Parque Manuel Antonio. The hotel itself was descent although the screen doors in both our rooms were jammed shut, so we were unable to access the patio. The pool area is nice and the bartenders friendly. The restaurant is pretty good and breakfast was included in the rate.

Property is in a prime location. The view from the 5th floor facing the beach was breathtaking. The room was clean and staff on site was very attentive. Roof top restaurant/pool was great to bird watch and hang out. We saw a few monkeys, raccoons and Tucans. Would definitely come back again.

From the moment I walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere set the tone for my stay. The staff here is simply exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure every guest feels special. A heartfelt thank you to Gerardo Martinez and Francisco Azofeifa for their outstanding customer service—they are absolute gems! Their professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine kindness made my stay even more enjoyable. What sets this hotel apart is its unique charm. Every detail, from the beautifully designed interiors to the curated amenities, reflects a commitment to excellence. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between luxury and comfort, making it feel like a home away from home. If you’re looking for a place that combines remarkable service with a truly unique experience, this is it. I can’t wait to return and highly recommend it to anyone seeking an extraordinary stay.
