Find your place to stay
Los Altos Resort gives a Manuel Antonio stay space to unfold in condo-style residences with kitchens and separate bedrooms. Preserve trails, an infinity pool, ocean-view jacuzzis and Orquidea Spa make time on site appealing. A scheduled shuttle serves the beach below. Townhouses and villas have an October 1–31, 2026 closure; confirm current operations and your accommodation for the intended dates.
At Los Altos Resort, the Manuel Antonio hillside opens into a stay with more space: separate bedrooms, living rooms and kitchens, surrounded by tropical forest. Contemporary Balinese-inspired styling gives the residences their character, while the preserve below invites you beyond the balcony. Come for the combination of a condo-style base and time among the trees.
Well-marked trails explore the forest preserve, where toucans, monkeys and sloths are regular visitors. The beach at its base is framed by jungle-covered hills and rock formations. A scheduled shuttle runs between the resort and this beach throughout the day. The main beach area is a short drive away, while cafes, restaurants and spas near the resort are within walking distance.
The infinity pool follows the hillside, with a lounge area and a drink-and-snack bar for an unhurried afternoon. Just below, two heated jacuzzis look toward the ocean. You can return from the preserve for a swim or give the changing outlook a little more time before dinner; the hotel’s leisure spaces belong to the landscape as much as the day’s excursions do.
Dining and shared spaces help a condo-style stay feel like a resort holiday. A restaurant and bar give you an alternative to cooking in your residence, while the fitness center, yoga platform and gaming room provide different ways to spend time together or keep your own routine. Air conditioning, ceiling fans and cable television bring familiar comforts to the residences. WiFi is available in select public areas and rooms, so confirm the connection in your chosen accommodation if it is important to the trip.
Orquidea Spa, near the infinity pool, pairs rainforest and ocean outlooks with treatments, therapies and facials. Couples sessions provide another way to enjoy time together within the resort. It is an appealing counterpoint to a day on the forest trails, particularly when you want the hotel itself to hold a generous part of the vacation.
The penthouse is a distinctive choice for a larger party, spanning three levels and 4,200 square feet, with up to four bedrooms for eight guests. Other residences have one-, two- or three-bedroom configurations. The lower Rainforest Suites pair garden and forest views with partial ocean vistas, while higher Treetop and Panoramic options bring more of the coastline into view. Size and outlook are both worth weighing: a spacious shared living room, separate bedrooms and a fully equipped kitchen can change how families and friends enjoy their downtime.
Beyond the preserve, Manuel Antonio offers more ways to see the forest and coast. Guided hikes in Manuel Antonio National Park and safari cruises through the Damas Island Estuary invite wildlife exploration; surfing lessons, parasailing and offshore sportfishing keep the Pacific central. Ziplining and river rafting add another level of activity. Shuttles to Manuel Antonio are also available; confirm arrangements for the outing you have in mind.
Townhouses and villas are closed from October 1 to October 31, 2026.

We loved staying in the same apartment. However, some of the beds were really squeaky and it was hard to sleep on them.
We were very happy with the resort and its staff except for the beach. The beach was terrible. We didn't stay at Manuel Antonio Park to enjoy the beach after our tour because we thought we'd just go to the resort beach. When we got to the resort beach we were very dissappointed!
Cindy G.
Another fabulous choice. We were all stunned when we stepped off the elevator to find that the entire floor was ours. Hadn't realized the kids had separate rooms which was wonderful. We had a gorgeous terrace overlooking a raised garden. Dinner was fine at the restaurant, but probably our least impressive meal at the all resorts and the meal was very expensive. It was fabulous that they offered boxed breakfasts for the mornings that we were gone before the breakfast opened. Make sure to specify if you don't want meat in your breakfast omelet.

Beautiful hotel grounds! Loved the pool, the spa and the restaurant. Kids especially enjoyed the game room : )
Love this resort!!
AMAZING resort! Exceeded all of our expectations. Can't recommend enough!

I was very disappointed with this stop, I was really looking forward to being at the beach and this is NOT the place to do it. The road to the beach is washed out and the vehicle that is supposed to be able to do shuttles was broken down, and as mentioned one of us was injured and they made no effort to assist. The apartment was great except that the elevator opens directly into it and at random times strangers would suddenly be looking at us from the elevator. The rest of the resort was tired looking, railings were coming unwrapped, path coverings moldy, and reception staff generally not very friendly. The restaurant staff was pleasant and food was OK. I would recommend staying elsewhere, and if this is the best of Manuel Antonio, I would stay in another town.

The room is fabulous and the pool delightful. Helpful and friendly staff.
Kristen M.
The space of our unit was incredible. It was almost too big for just the three of us. We appreciated being close to restaurants and shops as the on site restaurant didn’t really offer a good variety of options. The staff was nice but not always attentive.
Kelly W.
Unfortunately we had a room on the second floor so only had a view of the parking lot. But otherwise everything was great
Wendy P.
We loved our room and were happy your agency encouraged us to get the Panoramic View room. We did not use most of the space, but the view alone was worth it. We were disappointed in the beach here, which wasn't much of a beach, but we enjoyed the poolside view instead.
Beth M.
Loved this resort! They even had a free guided hike every day which was excellent! We saw toucans and monkeys on the hotel grounds and they had awesome trails. The beach was so nice and they had free shuttles going back and forth every 20 minutes. You could walk to other restaurants and grocery stores. Wonderful buffet breakfast in their gorgeous restaurant overlooking the ocean and grounds. We just loved this place!!!
Mary B.
Wonderful staff, wonderful experience. VERY comfortable rooms and beds.
Amanda M.
Amaaaaazing resort. The grounds and pool were lovely and the room and views over the top. We saw macaws, toucans, sloths and monkeys around the pool and surrounding area. And the location right downtown was stellar with access to all the restaurants and shops.
Beth T.
Beautiful hotel with very spacious amenities. Lovely grounds and good restaurant.

This was a great place. Staff was warm and personable - always remembered our names. We loved the unique experience of staying in a gorgeous resort with trail and beach access while being just steps away from shopping and restaurants. We will recommend this place.
