Hotel Costa Verde

Hotel Costa Verde is a tropical Costa Rican paradise situated on a hill in lush green surroundings close to the world famous Manuel Antonio National Park.

A stay here is both a relaxing end to your tour and an exciting encounter with what can only be described as the life’s work of an ingenious man and a big boyhood dream come true. Because nestled among the bungalows and ordinary rooms are retired aeroplanes and train carriages that the owner of Costa Verde has converted into rooms and restaurants.

Hotel Costa Verde has 70 spacious rooms in total, all with private balconies from which you can enjoy stunning views of either the lush rainforest or the beautiful Pacific Ocean. The hotel’s slogan is “Still more monkeys than people”, and you really get to stay in lush surroundings in the midst of beautiful nature and wildlife.

All rooms are furnished with attractive, solid wood furniture and have air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, a safe, a fridge, a coffee maker, a kitchenette with a microwave and an en suite bathroom with a hair dryer.

The hotel has 3 pools where you can sunbathe and enjoy a refreshing dip. There are 2 pools for families with children, and 1 pool which is for guests over the age of 16 only.

Your breakfast (included) is served in the Anaconda restaurant, where you can enjoy your morning coffee with a wonderful view of the Pacific Ocean. You can also have lunch here, and on the menu, you’ll find a wide selection of Costa Rican dishes, seafood, sandwiches and wraps.

The hotel also has 4 other restaurants and bars, each with its own theme. These restaurants are located along the main road and are also frequented by other travellers in Manuel Antonio.
The El Baguette Café has its own bakery and serves delicious sandwiches, cakes and coffee for lunch and afternoon tea.
In “El Wagon”, a converted train carriage, you can look forward to crisp pizzas, and in restaurant La Cantina there is BBQ and live music on the menu.
And be sure to visit the El Avión restaurant and bar. A real Fairchild C-123 aeroplane that once belonged to the CIA has been transformed into a bar and restaurant. Enjoy a colourful cocktail with a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean followed by a delicious seafood dinner.

Costa Verde has always been at the forefront of sustainable solutions to take good care of the precious surrounding nature. Waste is sorted here, and anything that can be recycled is recycled, including rainwater and wood. One of the things that immediately catches your eye upon arrival is that all the lamps in the hotel are old bottles that have been given a new life.

Please note that the hotel is located on a hilltop in hilly terrain, so there will be quite a lot of stairs between the rooms and restaurants as well as down to the beach (about 700 metres) and the entrance to Manuel Antonio National Park (about 2 km). A bus service runs several times an hour to/from Manuel Antonio if you don’t wish to walk there. The ride costs around 1 USD.
