Gaia Hotel and Reserve is an boutique hotel for couples, perched on a forested hilltop in the town of Manuel Antonio in Costa Rica.
Not only is Gaia considered one of the best Manuel Antonio hotels, but this property was once a wildlife rescue center; toucans, sloths, and monkeys are still easily observed in the surrounding rainforest.
The pale-sand beaches of Manuel Antonio National Park can be reached by car in ten minutes. Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel.
Accommodations
Gaia’s 18 airy suites and studios feature contemporary styling and a neutral color palette. Some upper category rooms add ocean views, plunge pools, and jacuzzis.
Each guest room is furnished with a King-size bed, toiletries, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, television, security box, mini-bar, and hairdryer.
Amenities
The hotel’s restaurant, La Luna, provides panoramic sunset views. Among the other hotel amenities are a three-level infinity pool, sundeck, spa, dry sauna, and fitness center.
