Caldera Vacations from $772

We took two tours arranged by the resort: Manuel Antonio national guided walking tour and mysteries of the night (within the property). On the first, we saw three types of monkeys (white faced, howler and squirrel), sloths, and some birds. It was very hot the day we went, and we were very tired; though the tour was good, not that impressed given that this park was considered the best in the country. The night tour was much more impressive with so many frogs and toads with their unique sound apart from some nonvenomous snakes. It was worth our time and money. We found more sloths, toucans, and birds within the property than in the national park. The resort had a host of swimming pools, great breakfast and a variety of restaurants. The nearby beach town of Manuel Antonio was very small and the shuttle timings were not that convenient. The beach was just OK. The staff at the resort were all very friendly and they introduced us to the theme of Costa Rica, “Pure Vida” and lived up to it. The room was well lit and the service excellent. I would recommend the resort but it may be a little pricey.

Nice family place with excellent included breakfast options

Our Villa was breathtaking! Everything was perfect. The staff was great. It was worth the drive . Pura Vida!

The property is very unique in that you will see wildlife everywhere. People who have issues walking should avoid the villas . There are just too many steep steps leading to the main lodge. The roads are not paved so be prepared for bumpy rides.

Hotel Autentico was fine, The staff are very friendly and helpful. My room was very noisy and I asked to be moved which was taken care of nicely. The hotel is a little dated and I didn’t enjoy my dinner in the restaurant. It was overpriced and not very good. Overall, the hotel was ok for the price.
