Very nice hotel. It was the perfect location- a three minute walk to the beach and a five minute walk to Manuel Antonio National Park. Nice pool and amenities and friendly staff. The room was on the small side for the three of us but it was fine. We also had a big patio and garden space.

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely atmosphere with private feel yet still very close to beach and park. Breakfast on site was good and many places to eat within walking distance. The nature walk on property feels more 'jungle' then the trails in the park itself. We had two rooms side by side which worked well for our family of four. Pool area is very nice with shaded palapas. Trail at end of parking lot to beach which is flat and off the main road. Highly recommend if you want a smaller, quiet resort within easy walking distance to beach.

Stayed in the Gardens annex which was lovely with a spacious pool and quiet. Rooms very good and well serviced. Breakfast very good at main hotel. Dinner expensive so ate out at great restaurants within 100m. Great location for national park and main beach.

Playa Espadilla Gardens exceeded my expectations. The hotel is a short 2 minute walk to the main beach and a 5 minute walk to Parque Manuel Antonio. The pool area is compact, but has nice cabanas with fans to keep you cool. The staff here goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. Even after checking out, the staff provided towels so we could use the showers before our long drive. Our room was clean and more than adequate for three people. The adirondack chairs outside the room were a nice touch as well. I will definitely stay here on future trips to M.A.

The property is within a 5 min walk of Manuel Antonio park gate as well as a long beach. Located a block off the main road, so a quiet location. Breakfast was fantastic - fresh fruit every day and made to order from a variety of menu items. Supper was excellent as well. Room was well equipped with fridge and coffee machine. Handy luggage rack to lay out wet clothes. Nice pool at both the main hotel and the one across the street (Gardens). We stayed at the Gardens location ground floor furnished patio and had visiting howler monkeys, giant iguanas and a variety of birds. Reception staff was very attentive and assisted with recommending and booking a couple of excellent excursions: kayaking in the mangroves and Chocolate/coffee tour (with sampling). Highly recommend staying here.

Restaurants in walking distance but far from the busier area of Quepos so it was quiet. But Quepos is only a $1 ride away from the hotel. 3-5minute walk to Manuel Antonio Natl Park which was our main destination. Quiet. Beautiful people. Very nice room.
