Excellent hotel - the hotel staff were extremely lovely. The hotel was gorgeous, very clean and modern, the beds were super comfy. The staff were very helpful and offered to help us organise activities and cabs. The location is also amazing. 2 minute walk from the bakery café which is so yummy. 10 min walk to banana beach, katana restaurant and 13 minute walk to uma beach. Highly recommend this hotel.

We are traveling Costa Rica for two months and this is by far the best place we ever visited. It is a unique little paradise with really outstanding staff. We enhanced our stay despite we could not cancel our next hotel and to pay the cancellation fee. we paid it with a smile because we could stay longer in Los Vivos. Great Beach for our Kid, for snorkeling. We could use the hotels‘ Kayaks, stand-up paddle boards and everything was included. the food in the restaurant was wonderful and so were the cocktails. this was really perfect! thank you so much!

Loved the VIEW from and deck of our room! Was beyond anything I expected!! And Jans our concierge was exceptional, making our activities/excursions so easy - no research, no personal booking, no figuring out which is the best one, no scheduling rides - Jans took care of all of it and it was a dream that pushed our experience over the top. And the wildlife that came to our deck from the treetop canopy - every day we got our own personal close up tour: spider monkeys, capuchins, toucans, macaws, sloths, iguanas - all of it: amazing!

The location and the staff are amazing! This was the place where we felt more the local vibe. It is comfortable though a bit aged, but the staff is so nice that we were really happy there! You just cross the road and have a perfect beach, with a nice peak to surf. The restaurant has wonderful food, very diversified, very tasty and the staff is the best! Really the best! Super friendly, always with a smile! We loved it there!

the location is just amazing, such a nice view, it’s very quite and far from the busy center. The hotel has a big territory, which is also appreciated by 2 types of monkeys who come to eat mangos. We were also lucky to see the sloth family who visited the hotel and spent few days in the same mango tree, so we could really enjoy watching them. The personnel is very attentive and cares about the customers.

We just loved this park.

We just loved this park. In a little more than a ½ day we walked all the trails except the closed one. We stopped for an hour in the café -- which is enclosed in a cage to prevent the animals from coming in! That was the first time I had a drink in a cage. The trails are great and we saw lots of wildlife on our own, including a toucan and a sloth (only saw it on our way out!). The beaches are beautiful too. The only issue is parking. I can't tell what's official and what isn't, and at the hotel they warn you your car can be damaged if you just try to park wherever rather than in their lots. We parked somewhere and paid (talked him down) but I'm not sure it was official. No issues with our car though. Highly recommend this park!

I go there to do dental work at Crystal Dental, as their prices are 2-3 times cheaper than in the USA and the quality is better, they speak English and have German equipment. I do not care about touristy stuff, I did it on my first visit many years ago. You can take buses for daytrips. Tours with agencies are very expensive and geared for young athletic people. I wish there was a sightseeing tour for the whole day on a bus to take pictures without any hiking or horse-riding.

If you like cooler temperatures, rainy & windy mountains in remote Costa Rica then this is for you. Its a unique experience to be that high up above sea level and theres plenty to do outside between coffee tours, ziplines & hikes. But in terms of the town itself, theres not a lot going on and its expensive but I guess thats what you pay for tranquility & remoteness. And if you're driving up there you better have a 4x4 or AWD vehicle because the majority of the roads up here are unpaved & windy AF. Spots to check out that made our trip: Don Juan Coffee Farm, the Butterfly Sanctuary, El Tigre Waterfalls, Kinkajou Night walk, 100% Aventura Ziplines for the longest Zipline in Latin America & lastly tree climbing at Finca Modelo. If you want to try authentic Costa Rican food (because hello why not!) skip out on the expensive restaurants and go to Pizzeria 3R y el Sazón de Mary - best part is that they're open late. Food was bomb! Overall, I wouldn't spend more than 2.5 days up here.

Preferably visit on the whale watching season, and reserve a tour days before so you not lose the chance of this lovely experience, I recommend Bahía Ballena Kayaks & Tours.

This is basically a cruse ship harbor and not much to do in low season. A few bars and stores open. A lot of tour is not given due to no crusie ship arriving in this time of the year. Also, extreme weather resultet in that most tours from Puntarenas was cancelled. If you are planning a vaccation, you should choose another city such as Jaco or Uvita. Very easy to take a 2-3 hour bus shuttle from San Jose, terminal 7-10 for a few dollars.

Quepos itself is a little rough, but Manuel Antonio is a gem. Be wary of all the hustlers on the beach. Would have liked to go fishing but the prices for charters were steep. Great eateries. I forgot the name but the seafood restaurant before the bridge into town was excellent.

This is the place to go to see the bioluminescent plankton. It was beautiful. The ferry ride was fun. We used Eddy’s tour. He was very knowledgeable about the biodiversity and the provided the best bioluminescence tour. We did have four senior couples in our group.
