Best Resorts in Cabo Velas

"I love everything "

"This house is an absolute must stay if you are planning a trip to Costa Rica. Me & my group of 14 young adults stayed for a week & it was absolute paradise down to the last drop. The home is exactly as advertised & so much more, with an amazing infinity pool overlooking the bay, lush landscaping surrounding you at every angle & picturesque views wherever you looked. The beach access is perfect for free diving & snorkeling, seeing puffer fish, eagle rays & so much more a mere 30 yards off the beach. Bilitis, the host, was so tentative to all our needs & was so overwhelmingly helpful planning all of our excursions, massages on the patio one afternoon, & the private chef meal of local Costa Rican cuisine. The house crew was also so very helpful with daily cleanings & tentative when it came to our shuttles picking us up for excursions or our day trip to Tamarindo. What more can I really say, this house is by far & away the best bang for your buck on Costa Rican soil & is an absolute must. Sincere thank you to Bilitis, Benjamin, our shuttle driver Johnny, & all those that made this trip so absolutely special. I will be recommending this house to all I know & will definitely be coming back sometime in my future. Pura Vida!"

"Hotel El Manglar is maybe my most favorite hotel EVER! The grounds are beautiful!! The staff is so kind and helpful. Dylan and Georgia at the front desk were just incredible! The beach is stunning and the private path to the beach is magical! Our villa was comfortable and very clean. It had a king size bed, large shower, nice little kitchen and sitting area. Both the sitting area and kitchen had French doors that opened to the porch. We enjoyed our Costa Rican coffee and banana bread each morning on the porch. We had everything we needed! We loved the hammock on our private porch too! We surfed every day and I conveniently rented my surfboard from the hotel. We also enjoyed swimming in the lovely pool after a surf session. The owners of this hotel have created a paradise environment in Playa Grande. Dylan even arranged a tour of the estuary where we saw all kinds of wildlife including iguanas, crocodiles, the mangrove hawk and a family of Howler Monkeys. The food at the hotel's restaurant (a short walk from the hotel grounds) was delicious and fresh with great service (Luis). There is also another restaurant next door that serves great food and the homemade banana bread. I can't wait to go back!!! Hotel El Manglar is dreamy!!! "
