Hotel Costa Verde, on the cliff above Manuel Antonio
Costa Verde sits on a cliff in the coastal rainforest of Manuel Antonio, about 300 m from the beach and about 5 km from Quepos. It is famous for sleeping guests in a converted Boeing 727, and the playful spirit runs through the whole property. It is one of our team's favourites for families, and it has a quieter adults-only side for couples.
Why we choose it
- Sleep in a plane. The 727 Fuselage Home sits up in the jungle canopy, and kids and adults both remember it for years.
- Families and couples, each with their space. Studio rooms in the family area, plus an adults-only building, the Cockpit Cabana and an adults-only pool.
- Wildlife from the balcony. The hotel is in coastal rainforest, so monkeys and birds pass through the trees right by the rooms.
Rooms and views
The choice is wide. Families usually take the Efficiency rooms or the Studio and Studio Plus rooms in the family area. Couples looking for quiet go to Costa Verde II, adults only, with Studios, Studio Plus rooms and a Penthouse.
Then there are the one-offs: bungalows, the Palm Tree Casita, Casa Quinta, the Sky Loft, the Cockpit Cottage, the adults-only Cockpit Cabana, and the 727 Fuselage Home with its jungle canopy view.
On the property
There are three pools, one of them for adults only, and spa services for a massage after the beach. Dinner moves around the property: Anaconda, El Avión, El Wagon, La Cantina and Chiquita Cabana each have their own style, and El Avión is built around a salvaged airplane.
The Zip Coaster gives older kids a ride through the trees, and an internal shuttle takes you between the rooms and the restaurants.
Location and getting there
The hotel is in Manuel Antonio, about 300 m from the beach, about 5 km from Quepos and about 2 hours from the San José airport. From here we arrange guided walks in the national park, catamaran trips, canopy tours and horseback riding. Check-in is at 3:00 PM and check-out at 12:00 PM.
