Fomos muito bem recebidos pelo Mauriel, que nos deu muitas dicas e instruções. O hotel nos deu um upgrade e ficamos extremamente confortáveis na Casa Pinar. A decoração e o conforto da casa foram pensados nos mínimos detalhes para o conforto e bem estar dos hóspedes. Cozinha completa e montada com o que há de melhor, incluindo lava louças. O café da manhã é muito farto e gostoso. O parque nacional Manuel Antônio é maravilhoso assim como as praias. Tudo muito pertinho do hotel. Nossa gratidão por todo o carinho recebido. PURA VIDA!!!
The best hotel experience ever in CR with my family! All the staff from front desk to breakfast server and housekeeping lady are all friendly and kind to provide help to every customer! If any of mine friend want to spend vocation in MA national park, i highly recommend this hotel!
We loved our stay at Hotel Plaza Yara! The room was very spacious, clean, and we watched monkeys every morning. Breakfast is made to order and very good. The staff was very kind and helpful.
The good: Beautiful! Saw an agouti from the patio! Everyone was friendly, and we even received a small painting as a souvenir of our stay.
The not so good: The hotel isn’t within easy walking distance to restaurants, and the beds aren’t the most comfortable.
I had a really great stay at Plaza Yara on my recent solo travel. I felt safe the whole time, the staff was extremely welcoming and friendly, and the place is beautiful.
The service was above and beyond excellent very clean place very professional people specially the guys at the the front and the breakfast guys were amazing. The waiter superb free breakfast was a real score.😃
Spacious, clean, modern, great breakfast, beautiful views, comfortable bed, excellent staff, definitely exceeded my expectations. Great snack choices and a gallery! Can’t say enough good things about this place!

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.
The staff was very kind and accommodating the room was very nice and very big the shower was amazing we loved our balcony Overlooking the pool and seeing the scarlet macaws in the trees every morning 1 day there was a sloth on the property and the resonant cat was very sweet highly recommend this hotel very close and convenient to everything but a little bit off the beaten path
