Hotel Plaza Yara

A suite to settle into between coastal outings

Between Quepos and Manuel Antonio, Hotel Plaza Yara gives you space to settle in after a day along the coast. Suite-only accommodation brings a living area, a kitchenette with the basics and a porch for a quieter pause. Breakfast is included with the suites, making the morning easy before you head toward the park or beach.

A suite between outings

The pool and tropical gardens invite you to keep part of the day close to home. The restaurant, breakfast nook and room service give you ways to enjoy meals at the hotel, and the hillside location puts shops, restaurants and Manuel Antonio National Park within an easy drive.

The beach is not within walking distance, so transport belongs in the plan. A wildlife hike in the park or a coastal walk can anchor one day; whitewater rafting, ziplining, horseback riding or a riverboat outing can take another in a different direction.

Surfing at Playa Playitas and rappelling down a waterfall bring more active choices, while sampling local Tico cuisine offers a slower way into the region. Suites include air conditioning and cable TV, so you can come back from an outing without immediately having to leave again.
