Hotel Zima

"Very clean room and exceptional staff (everyone spoke English which was extremely helpful to this non-Spanish speaking person). Really enjoyed the seating area on the balcony outside my room. The restaurant was very nice with a variety of options that were reasonably priced. The sparkling pool was clean and refreshing. The area was a little loud due to a truck repair shop next door, but overall I was extremely pleased with my stay and look forward to my next visit! Kim Kline"

"From the moment we arrived the staff greeted us with warm smiles and salutations, and throughout our stay it remained the same. Alan and his wife (the chef), Ariel, Alan’s brother and Andre and Patricia ( another chef) provided us with a rich history of the area and delicious meals. We slept like babies each night in the spacious lodging provided for us. The mountaintop views are breathtaking and taking a dip in the private waterfall was so refreshing! We totally enjoyed our stay!"

Top Matapalo Hotel Reviews

Si Como No Resort, Spa and Wildlife Refuge

10/10 Excellent

"This place was absolutely stunning. The staff is unmatched and so sweet. Very warm welcoming and super helpful. The rooms are clean and beds are SOOO comfortable. I would definitely stay here again. Loved this place."

LAYAN Hotel & Spa

6/10 Okay

"We had a huge room on the third floor with a magnificent view of Manual Antonio. The decor needs updating. My husband described it as lipstick on a pig. Caulking in the bathroom was done messily and the tile work on the shower floor was not done professionally. Marks were on the wall where something hung before. The shower drain was slow to drain. The parking situation is very limited and parking spots tight. Entry to and from the driveway is very dangerous… on a curved road with no way to see traffic coming. The towels are terrible micro fiber ones. We had breakfast included but two mornings the order was not correct. Staff will replace the meal for you but I just ate what I was served. I could not find anyone in the lobby to check out. The young girls at reception did not seem to be too concerned with our needs. The best thing about this hotel was the view."

La Mariposa Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"Where do I begin? Let’s start with, DO NOT STAY HERE. Room 63 was completely uninhabitable due to a severe, active pest infestation. As a direct result of this health and safety hazard, four adults were forced to crowd into a single room (room 62) for the entire 3 night stay. Hotel management refused to issue a refund Upon arrival, we simply dropped off our suitcases and left the property for the day. We never used or slept in the room, and never opened the balcony doors. When we returned in the evening, the room was heavily infested with bugs. We tried calling front desk immediately that same night, no one answered. We even walked over to the front desk at night, no one was present. NO STAFF ON SITE at night is an immediate safety concern. Hotel staff acknowledged the issue and offered to "deep clean" the room. We agreed and waited. However, when we went back to inspect the room after this supposed “cleaning” bugs were still crawling everywhere. This proves a deep-seated, active infestation that the hotel can’t just “deep clean”. Front desk staff falsely claimed that we left the balcony doors open. This is completely untrue. The infestation was present immediately upon our return, and the failure of their own deep-cleaning process proves the issue was structural, not environmental or caused by us. Hotel staff was rude, condescending and totally unprofessional: Hector and Manfried Arias. AVOID THIS HOTEL AT ALL COSTS. Rooms so outdated, dirty old. Nothing like pictures"

Shana by the Beach Manuel Antonio

10/10 Excellent

"Our experience was delightful! Beautiful views from the restaurant! I like the idea of separate swimming pools. One for family and the other one for adults. We had a stand room with the view of the jungle towards the street. The beds were firm which was uncomfortable first nights. But I loved to hear the early birds and the howling monkeys! We also stayed the night in a superior ocean view to experience the difference. I could hear the air conditioning sound off the second floor next to the balcony. It was annoying to me. Pro is the ocean view and restroom size and perhaps better bed. I prefer the standard room looking towards the jungle! I wish it was all inclusive hotel. Since it was not, we ate at the local restaurants and used Uber. I would return to this hotel. Everyone was friendly! Pura Vida!"
