Hotel La Posada and Jungle

10/10 Excellent
"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."
