Gaia Hotel & Reserve

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!

Our family stayed at Gaia for a week in December 2025. We had a fantastic stay. Above all else, the service at the hotel was excellent. From planning and coordinating off-site excursions to quickly responding to anything we needed during our stay, they could not have been more friendly or helpful. The hotel's location provides easy access to off-site activities (beach, National Park, fishing, Ziplining, ATV's, etc, etc) and we had great experiences at all of those. Special shout-out to Deiver, who was super helpful throughout our stay. We had a nice room, the restaurant was good and very accommodating to any special requests. It was out first visit to Costa Rica and everyone in our family (parents and two teens) loved it. Happy to highly recommend Gaia.
