Book Cheap Hotels in Playa Matapalo

"This property is built into a steep hill overlooking the ocean. It is beautiful - a bit difficult to navigate getting in and out with your vehicle, but very doable. The pool area and restaurant are absolutely beautiful. The breakfast provided is amazing and if you go early (between 6 and 7) you will see the white faced monkeys trying to partake in the breakfast as well - haha! The pool has a great bar with some wonderful drinks. The mistake we made was getting there on a Monday evening not realizing the Manuel Antonio is closed on Tuesdays. You can go to the beach and shops around the park, just not go into the park on Tuesday. We did come back and enjoyed it on our last day and it is a flatter well manicured park with fantastic beaches inside the park - it is flat enough that you can tour with sandals instead of hiking shoes. If you can buy your tickets to the park online ahead of time, then you can avoid those people trying to make you pull over if you are driving to the park. There is a parking lot very close to the park and we had to just make up stories to get those people to stop bugging us about pulling over and parking. In the end we did get a space in the very close official lot and a great tour guide. The staff was very attentive and helpful with everything - however, we felt that the area that you book tours was not well organized and they didn't really help us with the questions we asked. We just embarked on our own and had a great time anyway! "

"This place is spectacular. Smallest resort I’ve ever stayed and loved it. Hazel and Veronica were amazing. Pura vida!"

"Absolutely gorgeous! Loved the unique decor in the room and around the property. Grounds were well maintained and very tropical. Pools were nice and the monkeys were fun to see around the property. Would highly recommend. "

"Beautiful property with luxury feel. Very attentive and willing to please. Swim up bars were the only place where service could have been faster and more efficient. "

"Friendly staff, excellent breakfast, lovely location and pool. Plenty of opportunities to enjoy antics of monkeys around the pool in the evenings. Steps could use a little more lighting at night and area can get a little noisy at night. Special shout out to Moses who went out of his way to engage and serve guests!"

"We really enjoyed the hotel!! Our room was fantastic. Roomy and a great air conditioner. We ate at the restaurant every night we were there. Food was fantastic and the staff excellent! I would totally recommend this hotel!!!"
