Hotel Playa Espadilla & Gardens earns praise for its walkable location between Manuel Antonio National Park and Playa Espadilla, tidy pools and gardens with wildlife sightings, and easy access to restaurants, making it a convenient base for nature-focused trips.
Guests highlight friendly, helpful staff who arrange tours and breakfast boxes and sometimes allow pool and shower use after checkout, though one review noted limited nighttime support during a lockout. The hotel spans two adjacent sites; the main property hosts the restaurant and bar, while the Gardens annex lacks those outlets, which led to occasional booking confusion. Rooms are comfortable but fairly simple, with some mentions of limited storage and occasional road noise, while breakfast is widely praised and a few specific dishes and a one-off buffet pest issue drew complaints. Best suited to travelers who value easy access and relaxed grounds over luxury extras.

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.

We had an above and beyond exceptional time at this property! It’s walking distance to the beach literally just takes three minutes… lots of great restaurants right by the hotel if you choose to not eat at the hotels restaurant… local vendor selling unique souvenirs discount prices, walking distance to the park Manuel Antonio national park… the Hotel staff was some of the kindest and most accommodating professional people that we’ve ever encountered… the room was clean and efficient and literally had everything we needed… they have cute cabanas by the pool where you can relax. The pool is amazing!!! we didn’t see any animals on the Hotel property, but we did see a ton of them at the national park nearby and honestly, we should’ve just stayed longer at this hotel because everything was so wonderful there. There’s literally no other hotel that anyone should ever stay at because this one’s so close to the beach and such a perfect location and everything you could want. I don’t care how much money you have. This hotel is amazing. But I will warn you that the eggs Benedict were terrible…. The pancakes are whole-grain, banana pancakes, and they’re the best things I’ve ever eaten…. At least it felt that way while I was eating them… and possibly everything else on the breakfast menu is good. The problem is is that they put some kind of fruit juice in the hollandaise sauce on their eggs Benedict and I guess they wanted to make it tropical but it just didn’t work. Still 100 stars.

The hotel got good reviews online, but this was one of those cases where the real thing EXCEEDED my expectations. The room and grounds were even nicer than they looked on the internet. There are actually two properties nearly adjacent to each other, as part of the hotel. We stayed at the Hotel Espadilla Gardens with a beautiful poolside view from our room. The Hotel Playa Espadilla was across the street (a smaller pool, but has a hot tub) and we had a delicious free breakfast there everyday. It was conveniently located a short walk to the beach near several restaurants, a market, souvenir shops, and of course was right by the famed Manuel Antonio park (we were so close to the entrance, we were able to walk). The kind and helpful staff happily arranged a tour guide and tickets to the park (which was actually really lucky, because otherwise the limited tickets were sold out during the busy week before Easter. They also arranged an awesome catamaran snorkeling trip. Note #1) The website noted laundry was available; I thought that meant self-serve, so I brought detergent; however it was a send-out service that charged by weight (of dried clothes) and was pretty expensive. Note #2) there were only a couple of electrical outlets, so charging devices was a little tricky. OVERALL, this was a TERRIFIC stay and I definitely would stay there again.

Two properties combined into one hotel. Each with pool though 'Gardens' has no bar or restaurant which is based in the other site a couple of minutes across the road. Room was decent with a safe and a fridge. Thanks to Yafit and Eric for being helpful and friendly.

This property was stunning, our room overlooking the pool was amazing. Lots of wildlife on property, bed was comfy, nesspresso machine in our room was a lovely touch. 5 min walk to beach or Manuel Antonio park. Lots of restaurants to walk to. Clean beach towels were provided each day as well. The front desk also helped with organizing our excursions and we were picked up on property. The restaurants breakfast was delicious and huge and staff were friendly and prompt. Cons: don’t order their pizza.. seemed like it was a frozen grocery store pizza but kids would like it!! We will be staying there again if we go back!

The staff at the hotel was amazing - so helpful and friendly. Our rooms were cleaned daily with a different little animal made from towels each day. The pool was warm and clean, and we watched the monkeys play in the trees and toucans and macaws fly around. Walkable to the beach, many restaurants, shops, and Manuel Antonio national park. I would definitely stay there again

Great location. We walked into the National Park, on a grass path to the beach, and down the street--approximately 3 blocks--to the restaurants. The hotel is split between two locations (within view of each other) each with a pool but it is the upper hotel site that has the bar and restaurant (serving breakfast) under a thatched roof. Our room at the other site was near the road to the park but once the traffic stopped around 5 pm, it was quiet. We had comfortable wooden chairs outside our room and a lovely covered lounging bed with privacy drapes. At sunrise, we were awakened by the sounds of the birds in the National park. Fun experience. On the day we had a guided tour of the National Park, it was an early start. Knowing we would miss the breakfast, staff provided us with box lunches. Very much appreciated. An unexpected level of service. Recommend this hotel.

The complimentary breakfast is delicious, the best we have ever had. The location is perfect if you want to go to Manuel Antonio. Its just far enough away from the park to get away from the tourist trap vendors. This is also a great location if you want to go to Espadilla Beach. The rooms are clean and the staff is really pleasant.

Staff was super helpful with restaurant recs, arranging park guides, and spa treatments at another hotel. Room was very clean, facilities well kept and the atmosphere around the pool/bar/restaurant very peaceful and beautiful! The location is great because it’s at a dead end in the road so it’s quieter than other properties in the area.

The motel is a couple blocks from the beach and a couple of blocks from Manuel Antonio. The rooms were clean, the breakfast was delicious, and the staff was great. There were monkeys and iguanas that would visit everyday.

Overall a great experience. Location to the beach and national park couldn’t be better. Room was nice and clean. Only complaint on room was utter lack of closet / storage space, even for one person. 2 people would be really tight. Pool area was lovely. Restaurant and bar was fantastic for breakfast and dinner. Friendly staff all over. Would definitely stay here again.

Ik vond de prijs-kwaliteit eerlijk gezegd een beetje tegenvallen. Ik had gedacht dat het hotel in een rustige omgeving zou liggen, maar onze kamer lag vlak naast de weg , waar ook een restaurant zat met hele dag muziek tot 21:00 uur. Kamer had verder een slechtsluitende deur, geen stopcontacten naast het bed en de stopcontact van koffemachine deed het niet. Er waren verder ook veel positieve dingen hoor, zoals een fijne warme douche, gratis kluisje, koelkast en een mooi zwembad. Ook het eten bij het restaurant van het hotel (50 m verder) was top.

Nice Hotel with close proximity to Manuel Antonio Park ,and our No 1 choice though San Bada Hotel was there which was overpriced ,actually all hotels in Costa Rica are overpriced ,but is a nice property ,only thing this room lacked was a cupboard or closet to hang our stuff which was quite inconvenient leaving our stuff in our suitcases and on the bed ,which house cleaning staff had to move our clothes while making the room ,otherwise its a wonderful place , super sumptuous breakfast which the family loved and I highly recommend this hotel to guests wanting to visit Manuel Antonio National Park ,which you can see the beauty and biodiversity that our planet has and kudos to the Costa Rican government which spends to maintain this natural beauty.

Hotel Playa Espadilla y Gardens has a lot going for it. The rooms are okay—nothing fancy—but each one has its own outdoor seating area, which is a really nice touch and makes it easy to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The property itself is beautiful and spacious, with a sister property right next door that adds to the overall appeal. The food was very good, and the hotel’s location is hard to beat—right between Manuel Antonio National Park and the beach, both within easy walking distance. Wildlife sightings around the hotel made the stay extra special. We saw monkeys multiple times right from the grounds, and while I didn’t spot toucans inside the national park, I was lucky enough to see two toucans land on a tree at the hotel itself. That moment alone made the stay worth it. Overall, a solid choice if you want convenience, good food, and the chance to enjoy Costa Rica’s nature and wildlife right from your hotel.
Hotel Playa Espadilla y Gardens has a lot going for it. The rooms are okay—nothing fancy—but each one has its own outdoor seating area, which is a really nice touch and makes it easy to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The property itself is beautiful and spacious, with a sister property right next door that adds to the overall appeal.

バスルームの扉の建て付けが悪く、夜11時くらいにドアが中から鍵がかかってしまい開かなくなってしまった。フロントスタッフは既にいなかったので警備の人に言ったところ、朝、フロントのスタッフが出社するまで待ってくれと言われた。夜にトイレに行きたくなった時はヴィラの前にあるプールのトイレを使ってと言われた。夜中にトイレに行きたくなり、プールまで行くことになった。よくあることみたいだったので、警備室に鍵くらい置いといて欲しかった。

Staff was super helpful with restaurant recs, arranging park guides, and spa treatments at another hotel. Room was very clean, facilities well kept and the atmosphere around the pool/bar/restaurant very peaceful and beautiful! The location is great because it’s at a dead end in the road so it’s quieter than other properties in the area.

This property was stunning, our room overlooking the pool was amazing. Lots of wildlife on property, bed was comfy, nesspresso machine in our room was a lovely touch. 5 min walk to beach or Manuel Antonio park. Lots of restaurants to walk to. Clean beach towels were provided each day as well. The front desk also helped with organizing our excursions and we were picked up on property. The restaurants breakfast was delicious and huge and staff were friendly and prompt. Cons: don’t order their pizza.. seemed like it was a frozen grocery store pizza but kids would like it!! We will be staying there again if we go back!

The staff at the hotel was amazing - so helpful and friendly. Our rooms were cleaned daily with a different little animal made from towels each day. The pool was warm and clean, and we watched the monkeys play in the trees and toucans and macaws fly around. Walkable to the beach, many restaurants, shops, and Manuel Antonio national park. I would definitely stay there again

Great location. We walked into the National Park, on a grass path to the beach, and down the street--approximately 3 blocks--to the restaurants. The hotel is split between two locations (within view of each other) each with a pool but it is the upper hotel site that has the bar and restaurant (serving breakfast) under a thatched roof. Our room at the other site was near the road to the park but once the traffic stopped around 5 pm, it was quiet. We had comfortable wooden chairs outside our room and a lovely covered lounging bed with privacy drapes. At sunrise, we were awakened by the sounds of the birds in the National park. Fun experience. On the day we had a guided tour of the National Park, it was an early start. Knowing we would miss the breakfast, staff provided us with box lunches. Very much appreciated. An unexpected level of service. Recommend this hotel.

We had an above and beyond exceptional time at this property! It’s walking distance to the beach literally just takes three minutes… lots of great restaurants right by the hotel if you choose to not eat at the hotels restaurant… local vendor selling unique souvenirs discount prices, walking distance to the park Manuel Antonio national park… the Hotel staff was some of the kindest and most accommodating professional people that we’ve ever encountered… the room was clean and efficient and literally had everything we needed… they have cute cabanas by the pool where you can relax. The pool is amazing!!! we didn’t see any animals on the Hotel property, but we did see a ton of them at the national park nearby and honestly, we should’ve just stayed longer at this hotel because everything was so wonderful there. There’s literally no other hotel that anyone should ever stay at because this one’s so close to the beach and such a perfect location and everything you could want. I don’t care how much money you have. This hotel is amazing. But I will warn you that the eggs Benedict were terrible…. The pancakes are whole-grain, banana pancakes, and they’re the best things I’ve ever eaten…. At least it felt that way while I was eating them… and possibly everything else on the breakfast menu is good. The problem is is that they put some kind of fruit juice in the hollandaise sauce on their eggs Benedict and I guess they wanted to make it tropical but it just didn’t work. Still 100 stars.

I loved the pool area and the short walk to the beach and the park. The breakfast at the Puerto Escondido at the sister property next door (also walking distance) was excellent and a lifesaver for our family. The gift shop was awesome, and you can rent a boogie board for $10 dollars a day. The property was also surprisingly quiet given the fact that the park entrance is super close and the beach access is super close. Staff was super helpful and kind, made little arrangements with the towels after cleaning our room in the morning. Great parking. The room could use another suitcase stand or a dresser. The entry/exit is really hard to turn out of. The property across the street needs to put a mirror, it was so scary every time we left the grounds.
