Hotel Karahe

Karahe, on the beach at Manuel Antonio

Karahe is a beachfront hotel in Manuel Antonio, with the rainforest rising behind it and the Pacific in front. A short walk takes you to the national park. It is one of our team's favourites for families and couples who want to step from the garden onto the sand.

Why we choose it

• Straight onto the beach. The hotel has direct beachfront access, and the pool, with its small waterfall, sits right by the sand.
• A guide on site. Karahe has its own in-house guide for tours of the national park, which makes the morning visit easy.
• A view of the park. The SeaBreeze Deluxe rooms look over the Pacific and part of the national park.

Rooms and views

The Beach Front rooms are the reason to stay: they look over the beach and the pool. Up the hill, the SeaBreeze Deluxe rooms face the Pacific and part of the national park, and the SeaBreeze rooms vary, some with an ocean view and some without, so ask us which you will get.

The Villas sit higher on the hillside, between 40 and 80 steps up, some with a panoramic view of the beach and others under the trees. The Standard rooms have no beach view, but they keep you close to everything.

On the property

Most of the day happens by the beachside pool, where a small waterfall drops into the water and the sea is a few steps away. Restaurant Canto del Mar serves meals with the sound of the waves behind you, and the bar is the place for a margarita at sunset while the monkeys move through the trees.

Ask for a hammock spot in the garden for the hottest part of the afternoon.

Location and getting there

The hotel is on the beach in Manuel Antonio, a short walk from the national park. Restaurants, cafés and shops are close by, and from here we arrange catamaran trips, horseback riding, kayaking and sport fishing out of Quepos.
