Perfection! My room was beautiful and clean. While I didn’t use it, the pools looked great. The back patio off of my room was a great place to relax when I had downtime from activities. What really made my stay at Yara and in Quepos memorable, were the two gentlemen who work reception. They helped me book my tour for the national park and order pizza on a rainy night when I didn’t want to leave the hotel and just made everything so easy for me. I also can’t forget to mention Carl. The cutest little French Bulldog who helps watch over reception and the gallery, he absolutely stole my heart. I feel lucky to have gotten such a great experience for my first time in Quepos.

Enjoyed our stay. No complaints.
We enjoyed our stay at Plaza Yara very much. If you plan to spend time in Quepos, I would not hesitate to book your stay here because the customer service & free breakfast are excellent & the room was very nice. So was the property overall. We have no complaints. Also, it is close to Manuel Antonio.

Unfortunately I only stayed here for one night and arrived late in the evening. This hotel is amazing. Serene, very comfortable, surrounded by naure and it's wonderful sounds. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. My suite was outstanding, backing right onto the jungle. I wish I could have stayed longer!
