Stumbled upon this place at the beginning of the rainy season, so wasn't able to take full advantage of the amenities, but overall very happy. The location was perfect, can hear the waves from our room, granted it was during a tropical storm, but was still great. The staff was much warmer than in Jaco, even though only maybe 4... more

What a great place to stay! A friend recommended this place to me as he is a regular guest here. The place was very clean, room couldn’t have been more comfortable, and what a terrific team they have working there, and it felt more like a family then anything. Everyone there went out of their way to make sure my... more

Hotel del Mar is a small, quiet hotel within walking distance to Manuel Antonio National Park. Owners, David and Mark were extremely informative and so helpful with sharing information about the area. Luis, at the front desk always had a smile on his face and also was very candid about what to do and where to go. it is nice... more

We stayed here during the end of our trip to Costa Rica. We chose one of the upgraded suites, which still only ran us about $80. All the employees here were helpful and friendly, though there it was sparsely staffed. It's very very close to the beach, and we had monkeys playing outside our window on occasion. A quick walk... more

We stayed at the Hotel Del Mar for nine days in February 2008. I've been to Manuel Antonio on five different occassions so I'm quite familiar with the area. We usually stay at very budget accommodations, which are very hard to find in this area. We decided to splurge this year and get a place that had air conditioning. We... more

I was pretty sure it will be a nice place when i read the travellers review on this website. Once there i was so disappointed... First the price 104 us dol with tax and service. pretty expensive. For this price you get a kind of breakfast served at the tiny reception. In the room except a very old a crappy... more

$40+tax for a double room (double bed) with private bathroom (hot water) and small breakfast. Pay with cash and you can negotiate $40 total. The place is nice and staff is the nicest, although rooms are very basic so it seems overpriced for what you get. (Also VERY humid, but that has nothing to do with the hotel - that's... more

We arrived in Manuel Antonio to find that the place we had planned to stay in (Cabinas Piscis across the road) was damp and dirty so we thought we'd look around and virtually across the road was the Hotel del Mar. The receptionists were very friendly and helpful and were happy to give you advice about restaurants etc. The room... more

Had an excellent stay here for 2 days. Very comfortable & friendly vibe in the place (travelling as a single man). Hotel staff was helpful. Rooms were spartan but confortable enough -- the ceiling fan worked reasonably well, though perhaps AC would have been more comfortable. Location was excellent. Not much to do here, but the point was to see... more
