Hotel Costa Verde offers a distinctive hillside retreat in Manuel Antonio, enveloped by rainforest with sweeping Pacific ocean views. Guests can choose from a variety of accommodations, including unique options like the 727 Fuselage Home, many featuring balconies or terraces. The hotel provides on-site dining, swimming pools, and serves as an ideal base for exploring Manuel Antonio National Park and nearby beaches, though driving to the coast is recommended. This eco-style, family-friendly property blends nature immersion with convenient amenities.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Once again our travel agency did a great job connecting us with a room that fit our family needs perfectly! We stated in Casa Quinta, which had a kitchen, large outdoor seating area, and private rooms for everyone. We also had a great view of the ocean when the weather was nice! The included breakfast was delicious and had enough variations that we could try something different every day. The service staff were very prompt and courteous. Lots of howler monkeys nearby, and these served as early morning alarms, but that was part of the experience. We also saw plenty of white faced capuchins and agoutis. Special shout out to Weiner at the Anaconda, who was always a friendly face in the mornings and seemed like a great manager.

The only downside to this hotel was that we were at the entrance and it was loud. I understand that this is because we made a very last minute reservation. We loved having pools here and quick access to the beach. We also enjoyed being on the public transportation route.

Outstanding location, and amazing wildlife around the hotel, the best eco hotel we ever visited- would definitely visit it again. The beds were super uncomfortable, but the rest compensated for it.

Front desk staff and driver Wil were nice. Room view was nice. Room was dusty and curtains probably need to be washed; my husband had horrible allergies that led to an asthma attack due to the dust. More penny pinching because they don’t offer extra towels and don’t allow AC to be on when we are gone. Nice sized rooms. Nice to have kitchenette. A little unfortunate to not have breakfast included.

Hotel Costa Verde was the perfect ending to a perfect trip. The room was gorgeous and had so much character. We also had an amazing view of the ocean! The food at the restaurants was fantastic (especially Anaconda!) The adult only pool had some of the most beautiful views of our entire trip and the pool bar was pretty great also! Hotel Costa Verde was also in a really great location. It was about a 10-15 minute walk to the beach and about a 20-25 minute walk to Manuel Antonio National Park. I would definitely return!

Great views.

Love this hotel overlooking the Pacific. We stayed in Costa Verde II, adults only area..the bar is nice there, and the pool water is great. The housekeeping staff is phenomonal. They did our dishes for us..Front desk service just so so-not overly friendly or welcoming. close to many restaurants..Would stay here again.

Our accommodation was good as was the adult pool and bar area but it was a long walk in the heat back from the beach. I liked the pool in front of our building.
Geoff S.
The hotel location was amazing. The quirks were fun and the animals on the location were brilliant. It was a highlight of this part of the trip.

Hotel was what we expected. We chose this hotel to have the monkey experience
Rachel S.
The room view and location was great. The kitchen was full of little ants and I had to throw the bread and pastries that I bought for us. I notified the front desk and I think that they treated but it was too late. The shower pressure was very light making it impossible to shower, again I notified the stuff and they sent maintenance to fix it, it was a little better. Unfortunately after the cleaned the room they left us one shampoo and one conditioner for four people and when we called for more they just gave us one more. Very cheap on that end. Some of the staff at the front desk was not really friendly.

Good hotel. They gave us a room with a view which we appreciated. good to have shuttle for transport to close by restaurant
Melanie L.
Beautiful view but mattress was hard, room old and small
Corinne V.
Food was very expensive
Jeff A.
It might have been pure luck, but I think we had the best room in the whole complex. It was in the family section on the top floor facing north and was the closest room to the beach of I think three rooms. This gave us a perfect vantage point for early morning bird watching.
Janice R.
Loved our bungalow, it was well set up for my mom. We had 3 species of monkeys swinging from our patio every day plus, many other animals. My second time here, I love this place!
