10/10 Exceptional

Hotel San Bada was in a great location, had all the luxuries we needed, and the staff was fantastic. Pools were beautiful with sightings of iguanas. The roof top restaurant was amazing with views of wildlife including toucans, parrots, and other bird species. Daniel, our waiter went above and beyond! We had a great stay!

It is a good place to stay. It is at the entrance of the park, you can walk to the beach, there are places to eat nearby and the contact with nature is excellent.
Jose Francisco, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel is dated and in need of some repair and updating but doesn’t compromise cleanliness and comfort. We felt very safe and cared for at this hotel. The proximity to the park and beach was a plus for little kids and made things easy. The staff was incredibly kind. We did find a crab in our hotel room but that’s to be expected when you’re up against the jungle! The family pool and wet bar was great to enjoy a few drinks while watching the kiddos easily. The food was also very good! Would recommend for those looking for a convenient stay with little kids but not for those looking for luxury, high end vibe.

Wonderful property, great food, directly next to park and beaches. I had a wonderful stay and would come again.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It is very conveniently located next to the gates of Manuel Antonio Park and is also 2 minutes walk from the public beach. Amenities are good and the staff ( Jose Avendano particularly) was very hospitable. The food at the roof top restaurant ( particularly the sea food) is excellent. Got to see a lot of exotic birds and sloth on the property. Overall a pleasant stay.

We've stayed at the San Bada several times. The location is perfect if you want to visit the national park. Short walk to the beach. Staff is wonderful. The view from the 6th floor restaurant is amazing - try it a sunset. Highly recommended.
Randy, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel looked nice and the staff were friendly. The location to the national park is excellent, just next to the hotel, and going to the beach was so convenient. But the first morning we were woken up by bathroom roaring, couldn’t figure out where the noise came from. And the second day there was no hot water until we left.

Beach access was easy and it was very close to manuel Antonia national park entrance.
Peter, 2-night trip

Room smelled old and some hard (bug spray) kind of smell. Very old hotel but convenient to walk to beach and Manuel Antonio National park is next to the hotel, walkable to many restaurants and souvenir shopping All pools were accessible

If your purpose is visiting the National Park, this is the perfect hotel for that!

MARTINA, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Would not stay again.

The one great thing about this hotel is, its next door to the National Park. Hotel is a little dated and could do with a revamp. The sun lounger by the pool downstairs are made of wood, no cushions providedso extremely uncomfortable. Music is really loud by the pool. Some of the staff, just do not give a dam about you, whilst others go out of their way for you. I would not stay here again

The closest hotel to the national park! So easy to eat breakfast at the hotel and just walk to the opening of the park.

Kristine, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed at Hotel San Bada for two nights. You can't beat the location, it's literally next to Parque Manuel Antonio. The hotel itself was descent although the screen doors in both our rooms were jammed shut, so we were unable to access the patio. The pool area is nice and the bartenders friendly. The restaurant is pretty good and breakfast was included in the rate.
Zachery, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

What an amazing stay at Hotel San Banda! Closest hotel to Manuel Antonio park! We actually saw more animals at our hotel than IN the park! Staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. The walk to the beach was easy! Will definitely stay again.

Property is in a prime location. The view from the 5th floor facing the beach was breathtaking. The room was clean and staff on site was very attentive. Roof top restaurant/pool was great to bird watch and hang out. We saw a few monkeys, raccoons and Tucans. Would definitely come back again.

Everyone at the property was really nice and kind. They were helpful and eco friendly. Food and drinks are a bit expensive but worth it.

The hotel is a great location, it is very close to the national park and the beach. Unfortunately though the hotel itself is in need of serious maintenance and renovations.
