I chose this hotel by looking at the comments on Tripadvisor which were really helpful. Was I ever happy, I chose the perfect hotel for our needs! Travelling with a young child (3 years old) we were looking for a plcae close to the national Park (Manuel Antonio) and the beach. Exactly what we found. 2 minutes walk from the... more

We arrived in Manuel Antonio for the last week of our trip to Costa Rica. The hotel was great. They set us up in a room with 3 beds. We actually were the only ones in the hotel at the time of our stay, so the service was excellent. Made friends with the staff, who were very friendly. Free wi-fi... more

Pros: Prime location for Manuel Antonio Park and beaches Very friendly restaurant staff and decent food Nice pool and on-site park with monkeys and other wildlife Cons: Tourist trap rates and meal-plan bundling Unaccommodating and complacent and front desk staff Suspicious and unexplained math on the final bill We arrived just after 1pm on a Sunday. Krishna, the front desk... more

The hotel and hotel grounds are absolutely beautiful -- we saw many iguanas on the property and heard the howler monkeys every morning and evening. The staff were very professional and accomodating, the free breakfast is made to order and delicious, and the restaurant served some... more

The bartender was always there while you enjoy a dip in their pool and the breakfast was above average for selection. Monkeys were also always hanging around the area, so make... more

My family stayed at the Hotel Espadilla for 6 years on a row, I love it. The last two years I had to stayed at other hotels in the area. Hotel Espadilla was booked and I didn't not plan my trip ahead enough to reserve it with time. BOY I MISS IT! At the Espadilla Hotel I found a very... more

We rolled into Manuel Antonio, and found the other hotels were booked, so we landed here. After lots of traveling, we did find the pool, bar, and restaurant to be a real plus. Nice setting. The bar/ restaurant staff were very friendly. The breakfast buffet was very good. more

Pleasant hotel in a very good location. It is walking distance to the Manuel Antonio park and the Espadilla beach, but is off the main road so it is quiet. Playa Espadilla is a modern hotel with good rooms and facilities, but no particular charm. It was easy to find it using a Lonely Planet map: there is only one... more
