Marvel at the size of San Jose Cathedral. Fit in a service if you can or just wander around and appreciate a break from the outside world.

San Jose Cathedral is free, so you'll be able to give your credit card a well-deserved break. Once you've seen all you can at this principal church in the commercial district of Catedral, look around nearby National Park, Museum of Costa Rican Art and National Theater too.

9/10 Wonderful! (14 reviews)

The property has a beautiful view and within a very short walk you reach a wonderful and almost virgin beach. Our room was spacious and had a big terrace with a view to the beautiful jungle. Guest attentiont and hospitality was poor. One night we wanted to stay in the lobby and chill with friends but the night guard turned the lights off at 10 pm. It´s a very nice and new place but don´t expect a hotel, its a bed and breakfast.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (1,003 reviews)

This is an amazing property with a terrific staff. My wife and I had a wonderful time. When we checked in there was a sloth and a macaw right outside our room. We really enjoyed the monkeys. I give them a 10/10. Only negative would be the beach that is within taking distance of the resort. It's a long treacherous walk down a rocky slippery hill where you are eventually met by a couple of unfriendly locals trying to rent you a chair, in our case for $20. We declined. There is sand on the beach but as soon as you hit water it's nothing but rocks, rocks, rocks. Water was great though! Don't let this part deter you, just have them shuttle you to the main beach at Manuel Antonio!
