What guests think
At Hotel Planeta Sano, travelers highlight sweeping ocean and jungle views from a hillside setting, consistently friendly staff who help with tours, and generally spacious, comfortable rooms—though access involves a steep, rough road that some find challenging.
Guests enjoy the pool and on-site bar and restaurant, with tasty breakfasts and drinks, although a few note seasonal restaurant hours or limited staffing. Cleanliness is often praised, but there are recurring reports of maintenance lapses or off‑season issues, such as worn fixtures or bathroom problems. Rooms are generally roomy and comfortable, but several mention no TV and mixed in-room Wi‑Fi, plus occasional AC troubles or noise. Expect a good-value, relaxed stay with some rustic trade‑offs.

It is a nice place to stay for Manuel Antonio. The staff are super nice and helpful. The bar tender Kevin is awesome. The only downside of this place is that the restaurant only opens on weekends for this season.

Nice property! (Minus the drive up the narrow road difficult parking situation, and the no elevator... but very common there, so probably just us needing to be a little more open- minded.) The view was great. Restaurant/ wait staff was amazing. Good food choices.

We stayed in the two-bedroom villa. It was a little difficult getting to at first but it worked out. We had an enjoyable stay. The staff were great and the restaurant/bar was a good option for convenience, if nothing else. The road up is a bit challenging by U.S. standards but we had a 4X4 SUV. I honestly do not know how anybody drives a sedan. With all the potholes and dirt roads, you would tear up your car. We would stay again at this property.

The ocean views are amazing. Staff were helpful and friendly, specially the front desk receptionist Annie. Rooms are roomy, quiet, clean, and the bathroom area immaculate, but the view from the room's balcony is beautiful and relaxing. Internet is fast and reliable, though no TV in the room, but there is a mini fridge. There is a swimming pool, and a nice eating area. The way to get to the hotel is easier if using Google Maps (it was for me), the hotel in GPS appears as Hotel California, but the hotel name is Planeta Sano Eco Lodge. Not sure it is accessible by bus, but definitely need a vehicle to get there.

When we arrived at Hotel Planeta Sano, we were a little surprised by how remote the location seemed. As we had plans for multiple activities, we were worried about having to make the drive repeatedly. The lovely staff helped us book excursions that included transportation, and my worries were solved. The beautiful view each morning and abundant wildlife around made each day a surprise. The staff are all very kind and helpful, the pool is clean fresh and inviting, bar and restaurant served tasty food and drinks, and our room was clean, comfortable and had that amazing view.

This place is a Jim, I was so glad to have booked this hotel. It is a bit up the hill, but the view is phenomenal and the staff was amazing and dedicated to make sure my stay was perfect. The beds were extremely comfortable, the pillows were fluffy, the air conditioning worked great, the rooms were big with a private patio, the shower was super clean. I definitely recommend and I will go back for sure.

We stayed in the family villa. It was very clean but had definitely seen better days. Tile in the showers were broken and stained. Could see daylight through the bedroom door. AC couldn't be adjusted so either had to have it off or on it's highest setting. Key for the safe didn't work so we were unable to use it. But other than that we had a good experience. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was good and the view from the pool is beautiful. The road into the hotel is very steep and rocky with a dangerous corner to get in and out of the main road, but we made it work in our little Nissan Kicks. Just be careful. Overall had a good experience and for the price I'd stay here again.

We visited on the off season so rooms were cleaned a while ago but they were not maintained. All rooms we tried had bat droppings on the bathrooms. We settled for a room that had only some, unfortunately. The woman at reception was slow and cumbersome with registering us and it took 2 hours back and forth with her asking for much information. View is beautiful and wished things were better. On peak season I would assume things would be cleaner and more streamlined.

The view was amazing, 20 miles of Pacific coastline. The service in the restaurant was excellent and the food for every meal was delicious. The hotel has its own organic farm to source the ingredients for the meals. Note that there is no TV, closet, or place to hang clothes, a factor to consider if you stay long term as I did. The music played at the pool was usually louder than necessary but turned down during meals. (If you call it an ecohotel, you should not be using leaf blowers!) A good location just out of town and not far from the park - take the bus, it's cheap, easy, and convenient, stops just at the bottom of the hill.

We booked it last minute as our flight got rescheduled. But it turned out to be a surprise! The room is spacious and very clean. Plenty of natural day light. The swimming pool is very nice for kids. The view is fantastic. The breakfast buffet is generous. The front desk staff is friendly. We loved everything about this hotel. Only minor thing I can think of is that the internet connection inside the room can be spotty--you may need to get close to the front door or outside balcony. But hey we're there for vacation, who needs to stick to the phone all the time? Overall I highly recommend it!

The hotel has its own organic farm to source the ingredients for the meals. Note that there is no TV, closet, or place to hang clothes, a factor to consider if you stay long term as I did. The music played at the pool was usually louder than necessary but turned down during meals. (If you call it an ecohotel, you should not be using leaf blowers!)

We stayed in the two-bedroom villa. It was a little difficult getting to at first but it worked out. We had an enjoyable stay. The staff were great and the restaurant/bar was a good option for convenience, if nothing else. The road up is a bit challenging by U.S. standards but we had a 4X4 SUV. I honestly do not know how anybody drives a sedan. With all the potholes and dirt roads, you would tear up your car. We would stay again at this property.

This place is a Jim, I was so glad to have booked this hotel. It is a bit up the hill, but the view is phenomenal and the staff was amazing and dedicated to make sure my stay was perfect. The beds were extremely comfortable, the pillows were fluffy, the air conditioning worked great, the rooms were big with a private patio, the shower was super clean. I definitely recommend and I will go back for sure.

We stayed in the family villa. It was very clean but had definitely seen better days. Tile in the showers were broken and stained. Could see daylight through the bedroom door. AC couldn't be adjusted so either had to have it off or on it's highest setting. Key for the safe didn't work so we were unable to use it. But other than that we had a good experience. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was good and the view from the pool is beautiful. The road into the hotel is very steep and rocky with a dangerous corner to get in and out of the main road, but we made it work in our little Nissan Kicks. Just be careful. Overall had a good experience and for the price I'd stay here again.

Great spot nestled up in the hills, enjoyed our stay, gps led us about 100 meters past the entrance and it was late at night, took me up a persons driveway. That was my only issue, and I don’t blame the hotel, just posting this in case another traveler gets lost. Go back 100m definitely a spot to consider!

When we arrived at Hotel Planeta Sano, we were a little surprised by how remote the location seemed. As we had plans for multiple activities, we were worried about having to make the drive repeatedly. The lovely staff helped us book excursions that included transportation, and my worries were solved. The beautiful view each morning and abundant wildlife around made each day a surprise. The staff are all very kind and helpful, the pool is clean fresh and inviting, bar and restaurant served tasty food and drinks, and our room was clean, comfortable and had that amazing view.

It is a nice place to stay for Manuel Antonio. The staff are super nice and helpful. The bar tender Kevin is awesome. The only downside of this place is that the restaurant only opens on weekends for this season.

Nice property! (Minus the drive up the narrow road difficult parking situation, and the no elevator... but very common there, so probably just us needing to be a little more open- minded.) The view was great. Restaurant/ wait staff was amazing. Good food choices.

We booked it last minute as our flight got rescheduled. But it turned out to be a surprise! The room is spacious and very clean. Plenty of natural day light. The swimming pool is very nice for kids. The view is fantastic. The breakfast buffet is generous. The front desk staff is friendly. We loved everything about this hotel. Only minor thing I can think of is that the internet connection inside the room can be spotty--you may need to get close to the front door or outside balcony. But hey we're there for vacation, who needs to stick to the phone all the time? Overall I highly recommend it!
