What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Every suite is an airy, apartment-style living space decorated with tropical accents — palm fronds, rattan — that never feel belabored or kitschy.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Manuel Antonio National Park sits minutes down the road, and private trails wind through the trees to a secluded beach.
The rooms
Villas and townhouses have private plunge pools, while suites open onto wide balconies looking over the treetops to the ocean.
The infinity pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The cascading infinity pool sits high in the forest canopy, lined with stone terraces and shaded bamboo cabanas.
At the table
Karola's serves fresh octopus ceviche and local catch under high ceilings hung with woven rattan lanterns.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
