The hotel is well situated, near the entrance of the park. Unfortunately, the rooms are very small (2 adults, one baby), but they have a kitchenette with fridge. All the rooms are situated next to the pool. Not much privacy because the pool is not far from the main gate and the road. Very helpfull staff. Breakfast is served in... More

We spent several days at Cabinas Espadilla over New Year’s Eve. It has a basic layout but the bougainvillea, lush greenery, arches, fountain, pool, and terra cotta roof give it that Central American charm. The room was fine and even had a decent sized refrigerator. The shower wasn’t great but it was functional. Unfortunately, the windows are slotted, which means... More

Unfortunately, we were in a bind to find a place and wound up here. We paid more than any other place in Costa Rica for a tiny, dilapidated room that smelled like mildew, had windows that wouldn't shut, and was very loud with sounds of noisy neighbors coming through the walls. The bed was very uncomfortable on top of it... More

The cabinas are a short walk from the national park entrances, beaches and town. Yefe was amazingly helpful at making sure we had everything we needed. Great rooms, pool, garden. Would have liked to have stayed longer! More

We ended up at Cabinas Espadilla when the hotel we had planned to stay at ended up booked and referred us to their neighbor. Cabinas Espadilla turned out to be pretty great, just a short walk from Manuel Antonio National Park and an even shorter walk to the public beach. The room was clean and comfortable and the grounds were... More

Location, location, location. We loved Cabinas Espadilla because it is as close as you can be to Manuel Antonio Park without being on the main drag where all the noise and craziness is. It has a great pool, as does its companion hotel a few hundred feet away. For breakfast, you get this amazing huge buffet breakfast with an omelette... More

We had to switch hotels because the one we were at first was booked the rest of the week so we walked down a little ways to this one and it was a great deal so we decided to stay the rest of the week here. We were in the cabana's not the hotel and there seemed to be a... More

Maybe I'm biased because the place we stayed at before this was disgusting but these cabinas were lovely. The room was clean and spacious, we even had a small kitchenette area in our room. Fresh towels each day and air conditioning if you need it. The reception staff were friendly and informative. The breakfast that's included is taken at their... More

We stayed at Cabinas Espadilla for (2) nights while on our three week Costa Rica vacation. The location is excellent.....we didn't use our car at all. (as close as you can get to the beach and the park) The outside ambience of the cabins and pool area is really nice. There is a huge covered porch that spans the cabins,... More

We were indeed so fortunate to use the Cabinas Espadilla as our home base for our three-day visit to Manuel Antonio National Park. There are so many positive things to say about our stay here that I hardly know where to begin! First of all, the staff is helpful in every way, and the rooms are comfortable and very clean... More
