Spotlight Costa Rica – Hotel Espadilla in Manuel Antonio

This week’s Spotlight recommendation is for those interested in visiting the Manuel Antonio area in Costa Rica. I found a great family friendly hotel just 3 minutes away from Manuel Antonio National Park on foot and 2 minutes away from the beach: Hotel Espadilla.

It is a two story building surrounded by a beautiful tropical garden. Some of the things this hotel offers are: a pool, a restaurant, a private parking lot and a tennis court. But most importantly the hotel has a kid friendly policy, making it the perfect hotel for family vacations. The staff is very nice and helpful making the ambiance even nicer.

But what about the rooms? They are nicely decorated in tropical colors. Let’s not forget the restaurant, where you will find good tropical and international dishes.

Here’s what people have to say about them and if you don’t believe them, I dare you to try it!

I just spent my birthday here, what a lovely hotel! A lot of the hotels in Manual Antonio will say they are within walking distance to the National Park entrance – don’t believe them. Most are situated on the long and steep road leading down to the beach, and require a bus or taxi. This hotel is quite literally 3-5 min stroll to the entrance, also 3 min to Manuel Antonio’s beach and bustling main drag. Despite this, it is quiet and serene with a lovely, tropical atmosphere.

The standard room was very large and had a super comfortable king sized bed. The restaurant and pool-side bar were very good and reasonably priced. The breakfast buffet (included) was fantastic with a choice of Costa Rican, American or Continental style breakfasts.

The staff were all very helpful and friendly. I can’t fault it. Go here, you won’t regret it.

And

I would HIGHLY recommend this hotel to anyone going to the Manuel Antonio area. The hotel and hotel grounds are absolutely beautiful — we saw many iguanas on the property and heard the howler monkeys every morning and evening. The staff were very professional and accommodating, the free breakfast is made to order and delicious, and the restaurant served some of the best food (lunches and dinner) that we had anywhere in the country. The rooms were very spacious and clean, air conditioner worked great, and there is internet at the hotel for a small fee. The pool area is great and very relaxing. The location is amazing – just a short walk from the beach, restaurants, and national park, but just far enough to not be over-crowded or noisy. Again, wonderful hotel and highly recommended.
