The sliding door to the balcony had a space between the door and the floor which allowed bugs to crawl in.

Incredible views, friendly and attentive staff, delicious food served in the open air restaurant, poolside, or your room. Pool deck has a great view with plenty of areas to lounge in the shade, even while taking a swim. Very intimate and thoughtfully designed hotel, great for couples. We will be back for sure.

Beautiful location. Staff was amazing. Yvania at the front desk is the best concierge. Julia served my decaf espresso with foam every day with a super smile & friendly service. Food was great. Pool was perfect. The beds & pillows were comfortable. What a wonderful trip at Issimo Suites. I loved waking up every morning to the sound of Howler monkeys & many tropical birds. We even swam with the white face monkeys in the pool one day..... very carefully & from afar ;) It was an extra luxury to have the shuttle service transport us around at no charge. A special shout out to Jose, Geiner & Randall all who made the trip truly unforgettable.

Our recent stay at Issimo Suites was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality by the incredibly friendly staff. Their attentiveness and eagerness to assist truly enhanced the experience. One of the highlights of our stay was undoubtedly the breathtaking views that surrounded the hotel. Waking up to the lush greenery, ocean views, chirping birds, and abundant wildlife each morning was a treat for the senses. Whether lounging on the balcony or savoring a meal at the hotel's restaurant, the panoramic vistas never failed to impress. Speaking of the restaurant, we had the pleasure of dining there with a large group of 20 people one evening. Despite the unexpected size of our party, the staff rose to the occasion admirably. We ordered a variety of dishes from the menu, and every single one exceeded our expectations. The pool area was another standout feature. Not only was the pool impeccably maintained, but the temperature was absolutely perfect throughout our entire stay. Whether we wanted to take a refreshing dip or simply soak up the sun poolside, it was the ideal spot to unwind and relax. Plus, the poolside cocktails (especially the mojitos) were delicious. Overall, our time at Issimo Suites exceeded all expectations. The combination of friendly staff and stunning views made for an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a paradise retreat near Manuel Antonio.

Amazing setting with room and other areas overlooking above jungles to the ocean. Food service was good but limited/repetitive. Smaller pool probably okay for a boutique hotel of this size. Surprised our suite did not have any comfortable sitting area inside, but three beds instead.

Stayed 2/27 through 3/1. So Ill say thay having left a luxury resort in La Fortuna to come here was an experience. This is a boutique hotel, it is important to keep this in mind and understand that it is not a luxury super resort. What this hotel lacks in modern and luxury accommodations, it more than makes up for in its tranquil location, proximity to wildlife and incredible views. Check in was super easy and Gustavo gave us a welcome drink and showed us to our room. Dinner the first night was fantastic, and there is a good drink variety. Breakfast. Ill be honest, dont have high expectations. The first breakfast was sausage (hot dog) and ham (a slice of ham). Eggs were great and juices and fruit fantastic. Our room. The bed was VERY firm. Cold AC, fully stocked fridge. Im comfortable around my wife but the shower is completely exposed, facing the bed. I didnt like that. Had an enclosed toilet but no ventilation. Endless wildlife, monkeys, macaws, etc from your balcony. Tons of restaurants and things to do in walking distance, or for $4 cab ride of you dont like the heat. Overall 5/5 but Im only allowed 1500 characters on this app.

Being October, this was the slow season! They made sure we didn’t want for anything! Food was great. We caught mahi mahi fishing and they prepared it for us awesomely!! The rooms look out into jungle so we could see lots of birds and monkeys. The balcony is really nice for watching the wildlife!

The restaurant staff is absolutely incredible and friendly and the chef's food is delicious! It was the best food we had during our stay. The views from the property are amazing. Here you will be able to see monkeys, toucans etc. There is a beach not to far from the hotel. The shuttle is a bit limited, it takes you to the entry of the beach (it is accessed by walking through a short trail) and the main street which you then also have to walk towards restaurants. Walking down to Manuel Antonio Park is doable but requires walking about 45 minutes up and down steep hills. Really our enjoyed our stay and would come back

The entire staff was amazing. From check-in to check-out we were treated with respect and honor. They bent over backwards to take care of ALL our needs. When asked to assist us, their response was NEVER, "we will check on it." It was ALWAYS, we will have it for you in short order. Amazing Hotel. The wife had a massage and said it was the BEST she had ever received. This hotel is for those who want to be treated like a ROYAL.

I liked having the breakfast each morning at the outdoor restaurant and seeing the wildlife, from monkeys, iguanas, racoons, toucans, parrots, and many colorful birds. Some birds were building nests very close and it was nice and relaxing to watch. Also, i walked to the beach a few times, whoch is nearby.

Hated to leave. This is an amazing place. We had a visitor our second day. Monkey invited himself in from the balcony. Late afternoon show every day. Scarlet Macaws , smaller parrots, toucans and monkeys. And the folks at this place are great! Excellent restaurant. Can’t say enough good things about our stay here.

We stayed 4 nights here. From the first moment we walked in the room we noticed there was a lot of ants in the room. Told the staff and they sprayed the room but didn’t make a difference. There are holes in the wall and ants were crawling out of the holes. The towels they would give us had ants on them. We had to end up getting our own towels. We never used the bathtub cause we would always find ants crawling around. We ended up leaving a day early cause of this and they wouldn’t refund us for that last day either. For how much it cost it is definitely not worth it.

Dear Omar, we are sorry your travel plans changed and had to leave a day early, and when you book nonrefundable deals, you can encounter the issue of not getting a refund. We are actually surprised about this ant situation; we remember your stay, and everything was fine. We have no ant problem, but as a side note for all future clients, Costa Rica is a tropical destination most hotels are located in the middle of the countryside, so expect to see at least an ant every now and then, especially if you leave food unattended.We can confirm that we have pest control policies in place, and we have no ant problem, no holes in the walls either.

What a beautiful setting in Quepos. The views from the room, pool, and dining area were perfect. It was quiet, well-kept, and very accommodating. The staff was friendly, we especially enjoyed Julia in the morning at breakfast. First time in Quepos and we learned that, on the whole, it is difficult to get around but Issimo was helpful in getting us cars when needed. Also, from the looks of the town getting to the beaches doesn't always seem easy. Issimo had two, small beaches close by. The "difficult" hike mentioned on the website was perfect. Neither one of us is perfectly fit but by no means are we out of shape. The hike through the jungle was just perfect. I could imagine if you are out of shape it would be difficult, but you also don't need to be perfectly fit to make it. The quiet, peacefulness of that beach was worth it! We realized that we aren't big fans of the open floor concept of the rooms, not having closed bathrooms could pose a challenge for some couples but we made it work. The hot tub was nice, though it did not get "hot" just warm. Which was fine for the climate!

We stayed here for the last leg of our anniversary trip through Costa Rica and this was by far our favorite stop, all rooms have an amazing ocean view, with wildlife right off the balcony, the staff were great, they were friendly and accommodating very good breakfast included, mini bar in rooms, dinner was a little pricy compared to other places we ate but food was good and the sunset view over the view with dinner was stunning, would absolutely stay here again in a heart beat

Una situazione a dir poco imbarazzante. Stanze datate e soprattutto sporche con animali di vario tipo all interno. Camere con la concezione assurda della doccia e soprattutto del WC "aperto" all interno della stanza. Inaccettabile per la tipologia di Hotel e il prezzo Colazione non all altezza , personale gentile con qualche eccezzione soprattutto in merito alla gestione del late check out prima concesso e poi rifiutato al momento della partenza. Problema risolto solo dopo l intervento del proprietario.

It is a shame that someone who runs or owns hotels, threaten us with a bad review to get something for free or a refund. We unfortunately cant convince guests of this but it is clear that is this was true we would have not been in business for more then 6 years and have an overall rating of 9 or above year after year.

What a great place to stay in the Manuel Antonio area of Costa Rica. We went on our honeymoon and had the best time. The staff (shout out to Randal and Julia!) we’re so amazing and really helped us out the whole trip. They have an amazing Spa room and we received the best couples massage we ever had. The food at the hotel is delicious and we liked everything that we ordered. And lastly, the VIEW is out of this world. Issimo Suites is truly paradise.
