Espadilla Gardens Hotel

This hotel is in a good location just a 5 minute walk from the beach (although I did not like this beach and only used the beach in the national park). It is also a 10 minute walk from the national park (which was amazing) if not less. The check in was smooth and the member of staff on reception was very informative and friendly. The room was large, bigger than expected and was spotlessly clean all the time we were there. The grounds and pool area were also nice and clean. The breakfast was great. We did not eat at the hotel restaurant for dinner as it seemed expensive and there was a lot more choice around. In regards to the area, I am not sure this is the nicest part of Manuel Antonio, but of course this is not reflective of the hotel. The beach was not very clean and the area did not feel as authentic as other parts of Costa Rica we have stayed. However, the hotel itself can not be faulted and we had a great time at the Manuel Antonio national park.

We checked out. The reviews were excellent. We didn’t know what to expect. What a wonderful surprise. The place is pristine. It is clean. It follows the covid protocols. The menu is specific. We tasted patacones, fried fish and curry shrimps. Everything was just amazing… the service is just amazing. The food is just whoa.. the chef is incredible.. we decided to stay for coffee and a margarita… the best we have tasted..the cost value is excellent… Will go back any time…we highly recommend this restaurant

Quiet, clean, steps to the beach and to the national park. Delicious breakfast, lovely pool and grounds - what a nice way to start our vacation. When it rained we spent time in the comfortable palapas by the pool and watched the iguanas. The staff were kind and patient with our muy mal español. :-)

The best surprise was the monkeys hanging out in the trees outside of our door. We sat on the patio and watched them eat and play. Perfect quiet hotel. Clean and neat. Close to the national park and the beach. Friendly helpful staff. Free breakfast but couldn't get a dinner reservation as we arrived in the late afternoon.

If you like to be in an hotel, fells like family, you will be well served. Very close to the beach, rooms are clean, the service from the reception are amazing- the best is Yafit ! Food is very good from the restaurant, you must try the pizza!

Two hotels actually, with Playa Espadilla across the street. Not as well-adorned as their sister hotel but more than adequate. Can use the more up-scale facilities and pool across the street, where meals are also served. The kicker, though, was that when I mentioned that it was my daughter's 15th birthday, the hotel went all out. We got back to the room during the day, and the bed was decorated with petals, heart-shaped towel sculptures, and the most incredible personalized flower arrangement-bouquet I have ever seen. At dinner, there was a specially-decorated table for us and a musician; after dinner, the whole staff came to sing Happy Birthday and offered Ruby a delicious tres leche cake. We were truly moved. With the beach and the ocean and that special trea**ent, my daughter said that not only was it the best birthday of her life, but also the best day, period. Will definitely return to the hotel and the amazingly beautiful land and people of Costa Rica. Pura vida!

This hotel is very well located 300 mt from the National Park entrance and the beach. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is good and is served in the other hotel almost across the street. It has a nice pool and is surrounded by wildlife. Here in the gardens we saw monkeys, iguanas, toucans, koatis and many different birds. The staff is extremely attentive. I recommend this hotel

This is the 6th time we've stayed here and like all our visits our stay was great! The hotel has made some improvements since our last visit - much nicer bathrooms/shower and new paint in the rooms. Also some lovely changes to the pool area - it was beautiful before but now looks like you are at a resort. The walk to the beach takes about 2 minutes, might even be less it is that close. The hotel is also a close walk to many restaurants and to the national park entrance. Every time it's been clean and the staff have been wonderful. The breakfast that is included is lovely. Absolutely recommend staying here!

Dit hotel heeft twee aparte locaties. Espadilla Playa en Gardena. Wij logeerden in de Gardena. Het zijn allemaal dezelfde kamers. Perfect schoon, maar wel wat klein. Een kamer met een klein tweepersoonsbed en een groot eenpersoons bed. Verschillende soorten kussens. Goede airco en ook een ventilator. Het ontbijt was in het restaurant aan de overkant van de weg. Wij zijn in meerdere hotels geweest, maar hier was absoluut het beste ontbijt! En dan natuurlijk ‘s avonds dineren bij Morpho’s Er is een ruime parkeerplaats. Een klein zwembad met mooie bedjes erom heen. Zittend bij het zwembad zie je aapjes voorbij slingeren en er zitten in de tuin wat hagedissen. Verder mooie bloemen en planten. Op nog geen tien minuten lopen ben je in Parce Nacional Manuel Antonio
