Search Chalets in Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre Gandoca-Manzanillo

"Our room was wonderful (Howler Suite). Grounds were beautiful and having the beach to enjoy made this an exceptional value. Staff was absolutely lovely. "

"The staff were extremely accommodating and friendly! Rodrigo did an immaculate job cleaning our room, and always attended to our needs. The hostess at the restaurant (Gigis) was very pleasant, as well as all the waitstaff. Meals, including our breakfast which was included daily, were wonderful. "

"The rooms are beautiful, the wildlife abundant and the host, Jessica, was very helpful at answering questions and providing recommendations and she cooked a wonderful breakfast! I really loved the natural pool, and there were several great tours offered by a local guide, Rodolfo. The only comment I would make was my concern over a couple of domestic cats that were allowed outside on the property. I intercepted one of them hunting birds and lizards a few times. I understand it is somewhat socially acceptable in Costa Rica to let domestic cats roam, but from a North American perspective it's generally not acceptable as they are responsible for millions of bird deaths annually. If the cats are going to be outside I would hope they could get collars with bells on them to reduce wildlife mortality because otherwise everything about this resort is very ecologically focused. This one thing just didn't fit with that vibe. "

"Every single breakfast was made fresh and the service absolutely amazing."

"This property is gorgeous, and the staff is fantastic. The free breakfast (which you can also do as room service) was such a nice perk - I will miss the daily fresh-squeezed starfruit juice. We had a fantastic couples massage. I loved that there were several little spaces on the property where you could hang out away from your room. It is a little off the beaten path, but walkable to all of the restaurants and shops. We had a great stay."

"The rooms were very clean, the staff was friendly and the hotel is centrally located. Definitely recommend it. "

"This hotel is incredible. Beautifully designed pool and restaurant/bar area with beautiful lighting at night. Impeccably clean with incredibly attentive staff. Very close to the beach as well, which itself is very quiet. We had an absolutely amazing stay and I wish we could have stayed more days. Everything feels very luxury about the place... definitely stay here if you have the chance!"

"This hotel/ecco lodge is beautiful! The staff is friendly and very helpful! "

"The property was very much like you're in nature. There were many wild life on the grounds. I saw a beautiful toucan up close and personal. The beach was nice and clean. I will definitely be staying there again."
