Hotel Costa Verde

Rainforest mornings above Manuel Antonio’s coast

Rainforest surrounds Hotel Costa Verde, with the Pacific beyond and Manuel Antonio’s beaches drawing you toward the coast. From its hillside setting, the hotel invites you to enjoy the landscape throughout the stay: a morning with tropical birds around the grounds, time on a balcony or terrace, and an evening watching the ocean outlook change as the sun goes down. It is an appealing base for travelers who want nature close to their accommodation as well as on the day’s itinerary.

Stay among the trees, choose your own space

Balconies and terraces encourage you to leave time between plans: a place to read, talk about the day or watch the Pacific outlook change. The accommodation has a playful side as well as practical flexibility. The 727 Fuselage Home is a two-bedroom choice with an ocean view and terrace; the Cockpit Cottage and Cockpit Cabana bring other unusual names and layouts into the mix. Studios and bungalows provide more conventional options, with kitchens or kitchenettes in selected categories. Compare the actual view and bedroom arrangements, and note that selected CVII studios are adults-only while other categories suit families.

The swimming pools and surrounding gardens provide another invitation to stay awhile. Take a swim after an outing, or make a slower afternoon part of the vacation before heading out again. Costa Verde’s setting makes those hours at the hotel feel connected to Manuel Antonio, with the forest and ocean outlook continuing the experience of the destination.

An evening above the coast

The on-site restaurants bring local and international flavors to the stay, with seafood and tropical fruits bringing a taste of the coast to the table. Bars offer places for a cocktail and an unhurried evening. You can return from a day outdoors to a meal at the hotel, enjoying the convenience of dining on site without giving up the sense of being somewhere distinctly coastal. Friendly, attentive service adds a welcoming human side to the hillside stay, with the hotel team looking after everyday needs as you settle in.

Explore the park and plan the beach connection

Manuel Antonio National Park offers trails through rainforest, with opportunities to encounter monkeys, sloths and other wildlife. Canopy tours, zip-lining and whitewater rafting add more adventurous possibilities in the area, while the beaches give you another way to enjoy the coast. Mix those outings with time at the hotel according to the pace you want for your trip.

The hillside location is worth understanding before you choose. Although you can walk down toward the beaches, the hotel recommends driving: the walk is fairly long, and returning means hiking back uphill. Planning that connection lets you enjoy the elevated setting for what it offers without expecting the beach to be an effortless stroll from your room.

Choose Costa Verde for the hillside experience

• Rainforest surroundings and Pacific outlooks make the hotel itself part of the trip. Balconies, terraces and sunset views suit travelers who want to spend time enjoying where they stay, as well as exploring the coast.
• Driving to the beach is recommended. The walk is fairly long and the return climbs uphill, so choose the elevated setting with that transport decision in mind rather than expecting an effortless beach stroll.
• Swimming pools set among gardens give quieter afternoons their own appeal. A swim after an outing lets you return to the rainforest setting without immediately moving on to the next plan.
• On-site restaurants serve local and international dishes, including seafood and tropical fruits. Bars provide another reason to keep an evening at the hotel after a day outside.
• Studios, suites, bungalows and unusual accommodation such as the 727 Fuselage Home provide meaningful variety. Bedroom layouts, kitchens or kitchenettes, and ocean or jungle views vary by category; match them to your party.
• Selected CVII studios are adults-only, while other categories suit families. Choose the category as well as the hotel carefully so the accommodation fits everyone traveling with you.
• Manuel Antonio National Park is nearby, with opportunities to look for monkeys, sloths and other wildlife. Canopy tours, ziplining and whitewater rafting add more active possibilities without making wildlife sightings a guarantee.
• Friendly, attentive service brings a welcoming side to time at the hotel. The combination of that care, rainforest surroundings and varied accommodation suits a stay in which the hotel is part of enjoying the destination.
