Gaia Hotel & Reserve

I cannot overstate the superior quality and service at this 5 star luxury resort. I can honestly say that the Gaia deserves an 11/10 ! The hotel itself is tucked away in the midst of a nature reserve and its panoramic views, along with the exquisite decor in every corner of this property, is astounding. True quality runs throughout the complete Gaia experience. First and foremost, the personal and professional service, from the owner who is ever present on site, to all of the staff - is at the highest level you can expect. The rooms are large, well furnished with all amenities, the bed super-comfortable and the power-shower a blessing ! We enjoyed the Luna restaurant for breakfast and dinner all 4 nights of our stay - a first for us! The cuisine was simply outstanding in choice, quality and presentation - we didn’t want to try any other restaurant in the area. The praise and accolades are well-deserved and anyone looking for over-and-above 5-star quality in Manuel Antonio, should look no further than the Gaia.

Amazing experience! The hotel is great. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Private and secluded feeling like you’re in the middle of the jungle. Tons of wildlife. We will be returning soon. Thank you Gaia!

We stayed 3 nights at Gaia Hotel and Nature Reserve and it was absolutely wonderful! The location is beautiful with an incredible view, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the food is delicious. The entire staff is very friendly and goes out of their way to be sure you have a great stay. I highly recommend if you plan to stay in Manuel Antonio.

I spent five nights here with my friend and absolutely loved it. The room was great and very spacious, and loved sitting on our balcony watching the beautiful red macaws and then the sunset at the end of the day. The restaurant was also great where we did dinner every night, and can’t say enough about the sushi. We also had treatments in the spa which were also wonderful. The hotel provides a list of activities, and we booked a zip line and a national park tour. Both excellent. The two level infinity pool was incredible also. A few shoutouts on some of the staff: Clarence led two of our tours and he was top notch. Very knowledgeable and fun. Ada was our concierge and answered our WhatsApp inquiries very quickly and consistently asked up if we need anything else. Jack served us several meals, drinks at the pool, and drinks on the roof. This guy seemed to be everywhere! He was so helpful and friendly, always smiling, and made us feel so welcome. Finally, the owner of the hotel Boris greeted us while we were having breakfast and again was a real star. When we checked out, I left something in the room, and not only did he offer to get to us, he got it to us next day where we were staying in San Jose. For anyone that has done the drive from San Jose to the hotel knows that it can take anywhere from 3-7 hours. However he got it to us, he told us it was ‘magic’. Talk about customer service. In sum the place is great and definitely recommend you staying here.

Had a great 10 days Great location and restaurant in a sprawling complex The staff was Excellent!! Always with a smile , hard working and professional!
