Manuel Antonio6 nights3.0 star property10/10 - Exceptional (12 reviews)"Ronny and his staff were so kind and accommodating and made this stay absolutely worth it. We were welcomed with a cocktail and had a custom ordered tasty breakfast every morning. The room itself is small (and no door to the bathroom) but it is all you really need. The secluded rooftop patio was our favorite place to be during sunsets. The restaurant is bustling but the noise dies down early in the night. The property is on top of a hill (car required) and is about a 10 minute drive to..."Reviewed March 13, 2026Roundtrip • Dallas (DFW) - San José (SJO)DAL - SJO • 1 stop SJO - DAL • 1 stop$1,180$718found 17 hours agoper traveler - Casa Lamia

"We never received instructions on getting into the gate or building. We tried to call the owner and the computer said they were not taking calls. We ended up finding another place to stay. "
"Highly recommend staying at this unique spot and asking Robert to cook for you. Great communication."
"We staying in the hand-built rustic wood cabin in the middle of blackberries [Mora] in the woods. You need a 4 wheel drive to get down the very steep access road. We left our compact rental car at a house up at the road [for a modest fee] and walked down 2km. The cabin is down a steep forest path. Didn't see evidence of wifi. It's simple and wild. Will not suit everyone, but we greatly enjoyed it. "
"Amazing property, well thought out comfy beds with fans / power / lights for each….. two different density pillows! There is a nice path to the river and comfy chairs to lounge in. Owners are super friendly and communication was easy. Parking lot is on the left side of the road about 100 feet before you reach the property on the right side of the road. "
