We found everything that we were looking for in this resort... I loved how "homey" and comfortable the kitchen/dining/living room space was... The condo is nicely decorated, is well maintained, and a very relaxing environment... We enjoyed the welcome snacks and all the littles touches that they did to make us feel welcome... We also enjoyed the grounds of Los Altos... They do a great job maintaining the walking areas... The restaurant is a short, lovely walk from the entrance of the resort... On a couple of the evenings we choose to have room service and the food was well displayed, generous portions and wonderful... A great place to stay for couples or families...

    Location is very close to the Manuel Antonio National park and other restaurants and bars in the area. Stayed here for 3 nights and the rooms are massive!... We had a rainforest suite which is the entry level room... Huge condo style with full kitchen, living and dining room, large master bedroom and 3 bathrooms... Could’ve fit a family of 6 in the place no problem... The pool area is gorgeous and where we spent most of our time... The food was great and breakfast is included at the hotel restaurant Karolas... The front desk staff were incredibly helpful so big thanks to Felix, Christopher, Manuel and Jefferson for making our stay even more special...

    ...Everyone there was super friendly, and the food there is lovely. This hotel has a private beach, and surprisingly it’s almost always deserted... Everyone at the resort could speak English, so you don’t need to speak any Spanish to get around here... Los Altos has a fancy restaurant, with amazing food... The room itself is big and luxurious, they even have locally made soap dispensers in the showers!... Los Altos offers free breakfast... Breakfast includes various options from yummy French toast to a local Costa Rican dish... Los Altos also has an infinity pool (for all rooms) looking out into the pacific ocean... The pool is super big and shallow, but you can still swim... However they do offer a shuttle service to get you down there without the walk... On the beach there is a private bartender that will make cocktails and virgin cocktails for those little ones... The bartender also can give you a lounger and towels while also bringing your drink to you... Los Altos offer many different activities from free cooking classes to yoga sessions... They also have a game room, with a air hokey table, pool table, foosball table, and a basketball hoop (with basketballs)... This luxurious hotel also offers room service if you want it...

    ...We were pleasantly surprised by the upgrades to the pool area and restaurant. Once again, the service was impeccable and the accommodations outstanding... We took advantage of the guided hike through the resort's amazing trails where we encountered more wildlife than on the national park tour... The front desk will assist you in arranging a wide range of area activities... The complementary breakfast offers a wide range of options and the Karolas Restaurant lunch and dinner selections are varied and delicious... Looking forward to taking advantage of the spacious accommodations and bringing the family for a vacation...

    Our family of four really enjoyed our stay at Los Altos Resort. The location in Manuel Antonio is great, a short walk to several quality restaurants... The suites are extremely large and comfortable with lovely views... Ours was stocked with some complimentary drinks and snacks... The pool area is stunning and the pool bar staff are friendly and accommodating... Lots of wildlife visiting the pool area too which made for some fun encounters!... Walking trails around the property were great for exercise and watching wildlife... The property also has a private beach and transportation down and back to the main building... We were hoping for a nice resort with excellent facilities and plenty of wildlife so we could relax and enjoy the area... Los Altos Resort exceeded our expectations...

    ...We ordered a cot, so 2 kids would not need to share a queen size bed. The drinks (both cocktails and mocktails) and the food were exceptional... I have Celiac disease and they easily accommodated me... The grounds are spectacular, including a beautiful pool and a very challenging nature walk... It was truly a luxurious and memorable experience for us all...

    My hotel room was a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath condo with a living room, dining room and kitchen... Housekeeping entered my room without any advance notice each day... Expedia advertises this hotel as a 5 star resort... There is a pool and next to the pool is the spa... A five star resort would have a beautiful spa... Los Altos Resort is perfect place for a family looking for a spacious unit... I was looking for a luxurious resort with more amenities... However, I did have a pleasant stay at the Los Altos Resort...

    This is my second time at Los Altos and I was very impressed. While its low season and we were some of the only ones at the hotel, we felt very well taken care of... The hotel is now doing empana classes, nature hikes and more - included in your stay!... The chef so sooo sweet and the waiters were lovely as well... These rooms are HUGE and amazing for families - highly recommended...

Everything about our stay was spectacular, from the staff and service, the incredible Rainforest Suite Condo in the main building, the grounds, location, food and other amenities. So, where do I start: The spotless 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, suite is over 2000sf. The elevator opens right into the vestibule and is accessed with our private key card. Great view of the rainforest and Pacific ocean from the main balcony. Each of the bedrooms also has a balcony. There is a fully stocked kitchen. Bedding, linens and towels are all top notch. Every night the turndown service includes freshly baked treats. Great views from the spectacular pool. There were daily visits from Macaws and Titi Monkeys and also regular visits by Toucans, Sloths, Capuchin and Howler Monkeys. We saw more wildlife on the resort grounds than anywhere else we visited in Manuel Antonio. There are hiking trails throughout the property that are a bit challenging, especially in wet season. The Resort does provide a complimentary guide for a scheduled hike through the property, which is the best way to see the most wildlife. There is also a semi-private beach on the property. The beach is spectacular at low tide, when it can be walked from end to end, and very private. The Los Altos beach is rocky, so be careful. For swimming and surfing the public beach is excellent. The resort has complimentary activities including daily water exercise classes and a cooking class. The location couldn't be better as far as access to local restaurants. We loved the food at Karolas, which is the Los Altos restaurant. It is also within a couple of blocks of Emilio's, Agua Azul and Sammui, all of which we highly recommend. Pro tip: There is a public bus that picks up at the entrance of the resort that goes between Quepos and the Manuel Antonio Park and Public beach. The bus runs every 20 minutes and costs almost nothing. We had been taking taxi's everywhere until we worked up the courage to take the bus. This was not our first visit to Los Altos and every time we go, the amenities and facilities are even better than the last visit. We had the pleasure of meeting Pascal, the new General Manger, who promises even more upgrades.

Hotel's Favorite
I only had the pleasure of staying 2 nights at Los Altos. I wish I could have stayed longer. The rooms are huge. Plenty of room for my family of 5. Amazing ocean views! The pool was gorgeous and the food was exceptional. Some of the best breakfast we've ever had. Yamil and Felix made us feel right at home when we arrived. We hiked down to the beach and had a great ride back up to the top from the resort transport. They even stopped to point out a sloth on our way back. I was also surprised to see a birthday sign and cake when I arrived back to my room. I never told them it was my birthday. Top notch resort and service. I would highly recommend Los Altos to anyone in the Manuel Antonio area.

Los Altos created an incredible family experience! The rooms are large, beautiful, spacious and the staff is friendly and accommodating. We had a huge kitchen, full size refrigerator, and beach views from our balcony! The master and kids bedrooms have private balconies as well. Each room has a private AC, there is a large great room with couches and tables right off the kitchen for movie nights! Breakfast is included in the morning at the open air restaurant and it is delicious! There is a fresh homemade juice each morning from all the local fresh fruits. The pool is an infinity overlooks the jungle and beach! There are 2 hot tubs and the pool deck has covered side cabanas with fans and lights. You can order food and drinks while you swim and watch the beach and jungle! There was a sloth and monkeys right in the tree by the pool! It was so fun to see. There is shuttle truck- safari style with benches in the back to take you to the beach (a few minutes ride through the jungle) while you go, the driver stops to show you the wildlife- we saw 2 sloths all in the first day! They come and pick you up when you're ready and set out beach chairs and umbrellas for you when you get there. The beach is private and GORGEOUS! There were large rocks on the sides that created tide pools where we found all types of ocean life, sea glass and took stunning pictures. The water was warm and the waves were really fun to play in. Again- the beach is private! It was such an amazing experience. We played pool, air hockey, ping pong etc... in the large game room, my son blue toothed to the huge speaker and we enjoyed a couple hours just playing games! Manuel Antonio National Park is 10 minutes away. We rented a car, (buy tickets online first!) And were able to park and hike around on those incredible beaches and trails as well! It was heaven! We also traveled to Eco Chontales and Nauyaca falls for a day before coming back and relaxing in the hot tubs. In addition to the yummy restaurant on site, here are lots of close restaurants- we recommend El wagon wood fired pizza and El Avion (airplane) to watch the sunset! There are hiking trails on Los Altos property, also a hanging bridge with platform! There are free cooking classes (empanadas- yummy!), yoga, and trails to explore the jungle. You will love Los Altos! It created the most incredible memories and experience we will always treasure. If you're heading to Costa Rica- I highly recommend this resort. Have a great vacation!

We enjoyed our stay here overall. There are several shops, restaurants, and a grocery store within easy walking distance of the hotel. The apartment was huge - even bigger than expected. It was very well maintained. Our daughter loved the free access candy box available at reception - that was a fun touch, and they also gave her a coloring book with crayons. They allowed us to stay past checkout time for free so that we had a place to wait until our shuttle came, which we very much appreciated. The staff made us feel cared for. Our only issue was that sometimes the service at the restaurant was particularly slow - we weren't able to eat our full breakfast one day as a result since we needed to leave for a tour. Other times it was fine, though.

Very spacious. Wonderful views from balcony. We saw monkeys, scarlet macaws, and sloths. Facilities were very comfortable. Every one from the front desk to waiters to pool and beach attendants were always helpful and pleasant. Beach was a little rough during high tide but great swimming during low tide. We were there the first week of august and the weather was perfect. Can’t wait to return!

High standing hotel with amazing room and service. Convenient location near main road with breathtaking views, pretty hike and lots of monkeys and sloths on premises! Hotel kindly coordinated transport and tours for us and went out of their way to bring us to our next hotel and even bring us something back that we left in our room! Only negative is we found onsite restaurant menu limited and food/ drinks not the best but service was great.

Christian welcomed us and helped us throughout the trip. He he room was great with an awesome view. Christian also remembered our oldest daughters birthday and had a banner and cake waiting for us one evening. It made the day so much more special. The pool was great and we ordered a few items mostly at lunch time. We were able to see sloths monkeys macaws and even iguanas right at the pool. It’s a bit of a walk to the beach but you can get a ride and they are super helpful at the beach.
