Si Como No Resort and Spa

A hillside stay with the rainforest all around

Ocean and jungle views shape the day at Si Como No Resort and Spa. On Manuel Antonio’s rainforest-covered hillside, this eco-friendly resort gives you places to dine, swim and unwind while the landscape remains close at hand. Tropical gardens and the surrounding trees bring opportunities to watch wildlife without making every hour an excursion.

Getting to the beach

The beach is not within walking distance. A complimentary scheduled shuttle takes guests to the beach area, making it possible to enjoy the coast, plan a visit to Manuel Antonio National Park and return to the hill.

At the pool, the lounge area, swim-up bar and waterslide give an afternoon several possibilities. Tropical gardens and dense jungle surround the resort, with opportunities to spot wildlife from rooms and common areas. The ocean and rainforest outlooks make the scenery part of time spent at the property.

Two ways to dine

Claro Que Seafood Grill and Wine Bar is the more upscale choice, pairing fresh seafood and wine with a jungle-view terrace. Rico Tico Jungle Grill offers a more casual meal in a canopied space near the pool, with international and Costa Rican dishes and jungle-and-ocean outlooks. You can choose the mood of the evening without leaving the resort.

Spend a little longer with the view

The rooms have a tropical character, and a balcony can become part of the morning. Superior Rooms have balconies or terraces with partial ocean and jungle views; Deluxe Rooms look across the ocean and rainforest through large windows and private balconies. Deluxe Plus rooms are twice the size of the preceding room categories and add a private balcony with sweeping views. The Honeymoon Suite combines its private balcony outlook with a Jacuzzi and a spacious living room.

The room comforts include air conditioning, ceiling fans, a mini-refrigerator, safe and telephone. There are no in-room televisions, so choose Si Como No with that quieter tropical rhythm in mind. WiFi is available in select public areas, and the private movie theater provides an alternative entertainment option away from your room.

Spa moments and wildlife visits

Harmony Spa’s treatment choice runs from massages and facials to volcanic mud, wraps and scrubs, using natural ingredients whenever possible. The Greentique Wildlife Refuge and Butterfly Atrium give photographers another reason to spend time at the property, with access charged separately. Gardens and trails extend the connection to the surrounding jungle.

For coastal outings, catamaran cruises and ocean kayaking take you past the Central Pacific coastline and nearby islands. A Damas Island Estuary riverboat safari offers opportunities to see crocodiles, monkeys or anteaters, while a guided national park visit brings a chance to look for monkeys and sloths. Ziplining, whitewater rafting and canyoneering add more active options before you return to the hillside.
