La Mansion Inn i Manuel Antonio

We booked a room using hotels.com and ended up in room #22. Room #22 was a nice room however it requires traversing up a flight a stairs, a short walk across the pool area, down a spiral staircase, down another flight of stairs, then a short walk and down another flight of stairs and finally just around the bend and down the hall you are at the room. When you leave your room you head down the hall up a flight of stairs, short walk down the hall up and up another flight of stairs to a spiral staircase then a walk around the pool area, another short walk down the hall and then down another flight of stairs. Just make sure you don't forget anything when you leave your room. Parking: The parking here is absurd. If you rent a car and plan on staying at this hotel plan to have a small adventure every time you leave and come back to your hotel. To get to the so called parking spots you must enter through the main gate up around a blind bend and squeeze into a tiny spot if there is one, parking is very limited. To exit you must reverse (yes reverse you cannot turn around) down the hill and around the blind bend into oncoming traffic. If you have ever been to Costa Rica, that means crazy bike riders and tourismo buses everywhere. I do have to say our view from the room was very nice if you can look past the powerlines. We did see a sloth cross on those powers lines a couple of times which was definitely a treat.

La Mansion is awesome! Set at the top of a hill in Manuel Antonio, you get amazing views of the Pacific from both sides of the hotel (from the roof top lounge / pool / hot tub area). Rooms were big, clean, comfortable. Views from the room / deck were incredible and only beat by going up to the top level with the pool as mentioned above. Staff all bilingual which isn't always the case in this area. Everyone was extremely pleasant to deal with as well. In-hotel restaurant was great as well, but please do yourself a favor and explore outside the hotel as well!! Lots of great food in this area!

From the moment we walked in the door the staff treated us as VIP's. Cannot say enough good things about this hotel, all was perfect!

too far away from the beach. they take to the beach then u have pay 8-10 dollars to come back the view is amazing to the beach Breakfast was excellent price ok

Very nice 5-stars hotel! Our room was spacious, very well decorated and comfortable. We had a breathtaking view from our room (the whole wall was windows) and from the lovely balcony. Again, the balcony was very well decorated with a two wood beach-style chairs and a very modern and classy bistro table with chairs. The swimming pool area with the terrasse was amazing again. We really loved our stay at Mansion Inn. It was little far from the main road of Manuel Antonio (you have to walk maybe 2 km to join the main road with other hotels and restaurants or have to pay min. 4,000 Colones - around U$8 just to get out of the little road where the hotel is located). So if you plan to go to a restaurant outside the hotel, include at least U$16 for the taxi. The restaurant at the hotel however is very good but the choices limited. The side dishes are always the same for each dish. The breakfast was ok. Overall, the Mansion Inn offers a very good place to stay at Manuel Antonio!
