Hotel San Bada Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"I had a great stay. Room was clean and staff were super nice. Never felt unsafe walking around as a solo traveler. Very easy access to beach and park. Food was delicious and very pretty views. Only thing I noticed was pools could have used a little more cleaning as there was leaves and things in them. Hard to avoid though outside! Would highly recommend!"

"We absolutely loved our stay! The resort was beautiful, exceptionally well maintained, and the views were incredible. The monkey trail was so much fun, and watching the monkeys was definitely one of our favorite parts. What really stood out was the staff. Every single person went out of their way to take personal care of us, and everyone was so knowledgeable and genuinely welcoming. By the time we left, it honestly felt like we were leaving friends behind. The food was amazing, too. We really didn’t have any reason to leave the resort to find a great meal—it had everything we needed right there. Most of all, we left with a true appreciation for the Pura Vida lifestyle. Relax, enjoy the beauty around you, and appreciate the people and experiences along the way. What an incredible Costa Rica experience! 🇨🇷🌴❤️ We will be back!!!"

8/10 Good
"The only reason one star was removed was because there should be better doors for the igloos and a locking option on the inside. The reason your guests find this important is because if we are inside changing and do not hear knocking, the cleaning staff will enter. This is not ok. The only issue is the window covering does not fully cover the window. I don’t think it’s appropriate for people to be able to see in my room while we are supposed to have privacy. Other than those things, this place is excellent.we have stay at this place five times I believe for a minimum of three nights each time. The staff is very personable. The restaurant is decent. The lunch/dinner menu tastes better than the breakfast menu. But both are still decent. They make excellent drinks at the restaurant. My other minor complaint is that you need more pool towels for your guests. Waiting until 3pm for them to be cleaned isn’t ok. We were going to try to keep and reuse ours the next day so we wouldn’t have the issue… but the cleaning teams takes them. Not sure why as we were trying to reduce and reuse. Anyway, we would definitely go to this resort again. There are a few very easy improvements I have requested. :)"

"This is a great place to stay in Manuel Antonio. It is a 2 minute walk to the national park. We had a delicious included breakfast. The rooms were clean and fine for our family of 5. Ronny at the front desk was super helpful and friendly. He gave us so many tips for dining, going to the national park and parking. He also kept our luggage safely at the front desk so we didn’t have to leave it in the car when we were in the park. You will need to park across the street and down a small side street from the hotel but it wasn’t an issue for us."
