Superb location right by the national park. Great food and staff were super helpful at all times
6-night trip

10/10

Hotel San Bada was in a great location, had all the luxuries we needed, and the staff was fantastic. Pools were beautiful with sightings of iguanas. The roof top restaurant was amazing with views of wildlife including toucans, parrots, and other bird species. Daniel, our waiter went above and beyond! We had a great stay!

1-night trip

8/10

Hotel is dated and in need of some repair and updating but doesn’t compromise cleanliness and comfort. We felt very safe and cared for at this hotel. The proximity to the park and beach was a plus for little kids and made things easy. The staff was incredibly kind. We did find a crab in our hotel room but that’s to be expected when you’re up against the jungle! The family pool and wet bar was great to enjoy a few drinks while watching the kiddos easily. The food was also very good! Would recommend for those looking for a convenient stay with little kids but not for those looking for luxury, high end vibe.

10/10

Staff was friendly, the hotel is unique and clean. Felt safe. I he walk to the beach and the surrounding area outside the hotel could be cleaned up with more litter than I would like to see.
1-night trip

10/10

It is very conveniently located next to the gates of Manuel Antonio Park and is also 2 minutes walk from the public beach. Amenities are good and the staff ( Jose Avendano particularly) was very hospitable. The food at the roof top restaurant ( particularly the sea food) is excellent. Got to see a lot of exotic birds and sloth on the property. Overall a pleasant stay.

Liked: location, breakfast was amazing, staff was supportive and pools are cool Dislike: got a room with double bed. I was expecting a queen or king bed for a couple, hotel was not crowded. Cocktails and many dinner options are really expensive. It is better to look for options outside.

We've stayed at the San Bada several times. The location is perfect if you want to visit the national park. Short walk to the beach. Staff is wonderful. The view from the 6th floor restaurant is amazing - try it a sunset. Highly recommended.
2-night trip

6/10

The hotel looked nice and the staff were friendly. The location to the national park is excellent, just next to the hotel, and going to the beach was so convenient. But the first morning we were woken up by bathroom roaring, couldn’t figure out where the noise came from. And the second day there was no hot water until we left.

Room smelled old and some hard (bug spray) kind of smell. Very old hotel but convenient to walk to beach and Manuel Antonio National park is next to the hotel, walkable to many restaurants and souvenir shopping All pools were accessible

The closest hotel to the national park! So easy to eat breakfast at the hotel and just walk to the opening of the park.
1-night trip

6/10

The one great thing about this hotel is, its next door to the National Park. Hotel is a little dated and could do with a revamp. The sun lounger by the pool downstairs are made of wood, no cushions providedso extremely uncomfortable. Music is really loud by the pool. Some of the staff, just do not give a dam about you, whilst others go out of their way for you. I would not stay here again

The staff was particularly gracious and helpful.
4-night trip

8/10

We stayed at Hotel San Bada for two nights. You can't beat the location, it's literally next to Parque Manuel Antonio. The hotel itself was descent although the screen doors in both our rooms were jammed shut, so we were unable to access the patio. The pool area is nice and the bartenders friendly. The restaurant is pretty good and breakfast was included in the rate.

What an amazing stay at Hotel San Banda! Closest hotel to Manuel Antonio park! We actually saw more animals at our hotel than IN the park! Staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. The walk to the beach was easy! Will definitely stay again.
