La Vela is a definite hit! The location is amazing, close to everything including the beach and The National Park. The daily breakfast was made upon request fresh daily, awesome! On the downside they need to add a microwave and cutlery to the rooms. Otherwise Great

We like that we were so close to the Manuel Antonio reserve. However, you are at the end of the strip so it is a bit more effort to get to the restaurants and shops.

Nice place
Lovely comfortable quiet small hotel. Nice breakfast out by the pool. You can easily walk from this hotel to the Manuel Antonio park entrance. It would be very smart to do that and avoid the parking confusion.

Safe, clean, quiet, polite staff. We loved being right next to the National Park! I read somewhere that this hotel is for adults, but there were kids. We didn't care because they were very quiet and cute. If I go back to that area, I'm sure I'll stay there again!

Coup de coeur pour ce petit hôtel boutique. Personnel chaleureux, endroit charmant! À quelques minutes de la plage et du parc! Nous avons adoré notre séjour plus que parfait. Nous avons également apprécié la piscine. Et le jeune homme de l’hôtel nous a référé au splendide restaurant el escondito! Gros coup de coeur!!

Fabulous boutique hotel with a cozy feel and nice property. Good location for jungle walks and beach. However, in a rather touristy area right at the park entrance. Staff was GREAT!
